Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 172 My Clever Galatea

Seeing this news, Galatea's mind buzzed for a moment, looking particularly astonished at Silas, and asked, "When was this news released?" "I hadn't seen it before I went to bed, so it must have been released after midnight."

Released after midnight.

Yesterday was the first day she treated Alaric, and the only people who knew were the two of them and Silas. How did this thing suddenly appear? "Young Madam, how should we handle this? Should we inform Mr. Alaric?"

"No." Alaric was feeling unwell at the moment, and he probably didn't have time to check his phone. If he didn't see it, he wouldn't know about the news. "Immediately issue a clarification announcement, and identify the first account that posted this news, and if necessary, take legal action." "Okay, I'll go right away."

Galatea looked at the news again, which was very detailed, with insiders revealing information. Where did these insiders come from?

Galatea intended to keep this from Alaric, but in this age of the internet, news spreads quickly. It would be difficult for Alaric not to find out.

Seeing Marigold's call, Alaric really didn't want to answer, but he couldn't ignore it either.

"Hello, Mom."

"Alaric, where are you now? Are you at the hospital?"

Hearing Marigold's anxious tone, Alaric was a bit confused and replied, "I'm at the office. What's the matter?"

"Why do you ask what's the matter? It's all over the trending, and the news is saying you're seriously ill and undergoing secret treatment. When I saw this news, I was almost scared to think you had a relapse." Alaric was also surprised by this. Such a report had never been made before. Yesterday was the first day of formal treatment, and now there was this news.

"Alaric, tell me the truth. Are you feeling unwell? You sound weak. Is it true that you've had a relapse?" Marigold asked with concern.

"No, I'm fine now. The news these days exaggerates for clicks, spreading rumors. You don't need to worry. Anyway, I need to work now, so I'll talk to you later." After saying this, Alaric hung up and read the news.

The news report was very detailed as if he was lying in the ICU on his last breath. It was ridiculous!

Galatea walked in with breakfast, saw Alaric looking at his phone, hurriedly put down the breakfast, rushed over, and snatched his phone.

"I told you to rest, and you still ;play with your phone!" Galatea tried to lock his phone but found that he was looking at the news.

"You already know?"

"Yes." Alaric responded lightly, then looked at the breakfast on the table and asked, "What are we having for breakfast today? I'm a bit hungry." Galatea thought Alaric would react strongly to the news, at least be very angry, but he did not react.

"It's something light, vegetarian, and mushroom soup with cream." Galatea regained her composure and answered.

Alaric sat up, pretending to be delicate, and said, "Come to feed me."

Galatea was particularly surprised but then nodded and said, "Okay."

Since Alaric had an appetite now, Galatea quickly sat down in front of his bed with breakfast and spoon-fed him the cream of mushroom soup. "Did you make this cream of mushroom soup?"

"Yes."

"It tastes really good."

Galatea was speechless. The cream of mushroom soup was always the same. She was also puzzled why Alaric did not react to the news this time. "Mr. Alaric!" Just then, Silas knocked on the door and rushed in anxiously. Alaric asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Alaric, there are many reporters outside the company saying they want to confirm the news."

Upon hearing this, Galatea hurried to the window to look down, and sure enough, the entrance was crowded with reporters.

These reporters were quick. Each of them was striving to get firsthand information.

"Find a way to get rid of them. Don't disturb me while I'm eating!" Alaric impatiently instructed Silas.

"Okay." Hearing Alaric's words, Silas had no choice but to comply.

After Silas left, Galatea continued to feed Alaric, but Alaric remained indifferent to the news and the reporters outside.

"After this news, don't you plan to respond?" Galatea couldn't help but ask after they finished eating.

"There's nothing to respond to. For news like this, the best way to dispel rumors is for me to appear healthy in public later. This news may be the media's attempt to create a sensation or someone with malicious intent spreading rumors. I won't respond. The media may think it's true, and the situation may calm down after the hype."

"But none of this matters to me. It will reveal who genuinely cares during this time and who continues to fan the flames. Since you will definitely cure me, this news will eventually be proven false. There's no need for me to rush to respond. Ignoring it is the greatest disdain for the rumor-mongers." Alaric said calmly.

"But I already had Silas issue a clarification announcement this morning. I didn't want you to know, so I acted on my own. Did I ruin your plan? Should I tell Silas not to send out the announcement?"

Galatea hurried to take out her phone to call Silas, but Alaric stopped her. Instead of blaming her, he praised her, saying, "Sending out the announcement is good. By only sending out the announcement without my appearance, the media will think it must be true. You decided to have Silas do this. Galatea, you're so clever, thinking of things I haven't thought of. You're amazing."

Seeing Galatea's disbelief, Alaric reached out and held her hand, saying, "If you hadn't seen this news, I might have panicked. It is possible that I might not survive the next relapse. But with you here, I feel particularly at ease." Alaric didn't know when he had developed a sense of dependence on Galatea, a dependence that was not just as a patient to a doctor but also emotionally.

Upon hearing this, Galatea was truly surprised and then said, "Don't worry, I will definitely cure your illness."

After saying this, Galatea sighed and added, "If I had known you would be so indifferent to this news, I wouldn't have been so nervous about keeping it from you. It seems that I underestimated the situation." "My Galatea always has a broad perspective."

Galatea suddenly didn't want to talk to him anymore. Once Alaric started talking, he wouldn't stop his sweet talk.

Since Alaric didn't care about the news, Galatea let it go. The announcement had been sent out and quickly made it to the trending, and the reporters had been sent away by Silas.

"CEO Ambrose, Alaric hasn't made an appearance, and he just issued the announcement." Denny reported to Ambrose. "It seems like Alaric really can't get out of bed."
