Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 168 I Was Wrong

Tonight, Alaric took Galatea to a couple-themed restaurant, where the decorations were particularly romantic, creating a very atmospheric environment. "You haven't seen Harry and Elisa for a long time, so I had James Smith bring them over." Alaric said after they were seated.

"You are definitely doing this on purpose, coming to a couple-themed restaurant and then saying you want to bring the kids over."

"So, Galatea, are you suggesting that you want to have some alone time with me?"

In response to Alaric's smooth talk, Galatea just rolled her eyes at him, and Alaric could only smile indulgently.

Eating at such a romantic place felt special, as the atmosphere was filled with young couples who were very open and affectionate with each other. "These young couples are really carefree." Galatea sighed.

"Love between couples is irresistible." Alaric remarked. "You seem to understand that."

Alaric smiled again and said, "Sometimes, relationships rely on impulse. Starting tomorrow, you will be treating me. If I can't get out of bed, it would be a problem. Why don't we go get the marriage license early tomorrow morning?" "The license?"

"It's an old issue. If you refuse again, it will be the third time."

Galatea felt genuinely sorry about the license matter. She got up and walked over to Alaric, sitting down beside him.

"I really don't want to refuse this time, but your mother, Mrs. Marigold, has returned. I haven't met her yet, so getting the license might upset her. If we do this without her knowing, she will be angry. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies. Perhaps Mrs. Marigold could have liked me as a daughter-in-law, but by doing this, she will only feel disgust toward me."

"When can you stop overthinking?" Alaric felt helpless.

"These are issues I have to consider. It's for the harmony of our future family. Whether Mrs. Marigold agrees or not, I should meet her first. She is an elder, and I must respect and understand her." This was the third time Galatea had refused Alaric, and she was afraid he would get angry. After saying this, she immediately kissed Alaric as an apology.

Alaric, who was kissed, couldn't help but tease. "You found them carefree earlier, and now you're carefree too."

"Well, since they are like that, I don't mind either. Just don't get angry."

Galatea was still afraid that Alaric would get angry, as his anger usually led to serious consequences.

"Don't be angry, and I apologize to you." Galatea leaned against Alaric, coaxing him in a very spoiled manner.

Alaric actually laughed at this and reached out to pull her closer and said. "I'm not angry as long as you're not genuinely refusing me."

"I definitely am not genuinely refusing. I just have to respect your family."

"With such a good wife, how could the mother-in-law not like you? Don't worry, I will marry you sooner."

"And you can rest assured that I won't run away."

After hearing Galatea's words, Alaric smiled, feeling the romantic atmosphere around them, which was truly enchanting.

Then, unable to resist, Alaric kissed Galatea on the lips. Galatea resisted for a moment, but Alaric refused to let her resist.

So, Galatea gave up struggling. After all, this was a romantic atmosphere filled with sweetness in the air.

Just as they were kissing, Galatea's phone suddenly rang. Galatea pushed Alaric away to answer the call, but Alaric, feeling disturbed, didn't let her answer and kissed her even more passionately. After kissing for a while, Alaric finally stopped. Galatea playfully hit him and said, "I have a call!"

Galatea hurriedly took her phone out of her bag and saw a missed call from Cormac. She was about to call him back when Cormac called again.

"Hello, Big Brother Cormac."

"I'm sorry to bother you at night, Galatea. My mom suddenly became critically ill and is now in the intensive care unit. I wanted to ask you about her condition when you gave her the chemotherapy shot today." "Ravenna Nash is in the intensive care unit!" Galatea was shocked to hear this. "How could this happen? When I left today, Ravenna Nash was fine."

Ravenna even mentioned attending her and Alaric's wedding, so how could she suddenly end up in the ICU?

"I don't know why she suddenly became critically ill. Well, Galatea, if you don't know, it's fine." Cormac was about to hang up the phone.

"Big Brother Cormac, where is Ravenna Nash now? I want to go see her."Galatea quickly asked.

Glancing at Griffon and Orion standing outside the ICU, Cormac said, "Our whole family is here. You don't need to come. I appreciate your concern. You should focus on your matters."

Griffon and Orion blamed Galatea for Ravenna's sudden critical condition. If Galatea had gone over it now, the situation might have only been worse.

"What did Cormac say? Ravenna Nash is critically ill?" Alaric was also shocked. Despite his falling out with the Nash family, he still cared for Ravenna Nash.

"Yes, she's in the ICU now. After the chemotherapy shot today, Ravenna Nash was doing well. How did this suddenly happen?" Galatea couldn't understand.

Alaric remained silent. He didn't want this to happen to Ravenna, but now that it had, there was nothing he could do.

"Should we go to the hospital to see her?" Galatea asked.

"Maybe it's better not to. Ravenna is still unconscious, and Griffon and the others are probably not in a good mood. We wouldn't be welcome at the Nash family's place, so there's no need." After hearing this, Galatea let out a long sigh.

At that moment, Cormac was also furrowing his brows. The doctors said Ravenna's condition was very dangerous, and it was uncertain whether she would wake up or, if she did, whether she would become a vegetable. "If Mom doesn't wake up for a while, you all should go back. I'll stay here tonight." Cormac said.

Cormac was right. Ravenna wouldn't wake up soon.

"Okay, if there's any news, call home." Griffon said before leaving with Orion.

Once in the car, Orion regretted it and burst into tears. "Dad, what if Mom never wakes up?" Griffon remained silent.

"I was wrong; I really was wrong. I don't want to be without Mom. I don't want Mom to die."

"What's the use of realizing your mistake now? You were so insistent on marrying Alaric, and now look at our situation!" Griffon scolded.
