Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 212 Alaric, Please Teach Me How to Stay Calm

Alaric and Galatea rushed to the hospital as fast as they could. They arrived outside the hospital morgue at just ten past five in the morning.

The only sounds in the long corridor were their footsteps and breathing. As they got closer, they saw Cormac sitting on a bench at the end of the hallway. He sat there with his head down, motionless. Just looking at Cormac from a distance, without even making eye contact, Galatea felt she could hardly bear it.

She understood this feeling. It was the same when Brennan died; the pain was so extreme that she couldn't even cry; her body felt numb.

"Cormac." At this moment, Alaric didn't know what to say. Anything he said would be meaningless.

After a long while, Cormac slowly lifted his head. His eyes were bloodshot, and in just a few days, he had lost a lot of weight. He looked utterly exhausted.

When Alaric's figure appeared in Cormac's pupils, the extreme pain and numbness he felt seemed to come back to life.

Cormac quickly stood up, grabbed Alaric, and pinned him against the wall, demanding, "Was it you? Alaric, was it you?"

Alaric knew exactly what Cormac was talking about. He wanted to deny it, but facing Cormac's extreme pain, he couldn't say anything.

Cormac shouted in agony, "Alaric, answer me! Was Orion's car accident you doing?"

"Cormac." Galatea stepped forward, but Alaric hurriedly said to her, "Galatea, step aside."

Galatea had no choice but to step aside. Cormac tightened his grip on Alaric's collar, choking him.

Cormac shouted, "You wanted to get back at Griffon, didn't you? You wanted to make Griffon suffer, didn't you? Then go after Griffon! The debt should be paid by the one who owes it. Didn't you already sue him? Didn't the police already take him away? What more do you want? Why couldn't you spare Orion? Even if she was wrong, she didn't deserve to die. She loved you for so many years; she loved you for so many years!"

"Orion's car accident had nothing to do with me," Alaric calmly explained.

Cormac roared, "Alaric, if you really want revenge, come after me. Come after me, okay? I'll pay for Griffon's sins. I'll repay the lives he owes. Why did you have to kill Orion? She was only in her twenties!"

Cormac couldn't control his emotions anymore. He kept venting his anger at Alaric. "Alaric, come after me. Take my life. Give me back my sister. Give me back my sister!"

"Cormac, calm down!" Alaric pushed Cormac aside, causing him to fall to the ground due to his particular weakness.

Lying on the ground, Cormac cried out in agony, his voice completely hoarse.

"You want me to calm down? Tell me how to calm down?" Cormac looked at Alaric, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Cormac shouted, "On the same day, I lost both my mom and my sister. It feels like a dream. Two living people are in front of me, and now they're gone.

My mom didn't leave a single word before she died. I just watched her; she seemed like she wanted to say something, but she couldn't. And my sister, she was so young and so beautiful.

She died wearing pajamas and slippers, her face unrecognizable, her body mangled. Suddenly, they were both lying lifeless in front of me. How am I supposed to calm down? Alaric, how am I supposed to calm down?" Hearing these words, Galatea couldn't help but cry. She understood this feeling of helplessness all too well; no one could understand it better than her.

Moreover, Cormac had lost two loved ones at the same time. Griffon was also in the police station, facing harsh legal consequences.

Galatea could empathize, but she couldn't relate to his pain.

Alaric couldn't answer Cormac's question. At this moment, Alaric and Galatea stayed by his side.

If Cormac wanted to cry, let him cry. If he wanted to vent, let him vent. They couldn't help in any other way.

Cormac cried for a long time, and eventually, he passed out from exhaustion. Alaric quickly took him to the hospital's restroom. Galatea took a deep breath, feeling particularly sad.

Galatea sighed, "Cormac is so pitiful. He's the most innocent in this whole situation, and Ravenna, she passed away so quickly..."

Galatea choked up as she spoke. She still vividly remembered the last time she went to the Nash family to give Ravenna her chemotherapy shot. Ravenna had said she wanted to attend her and Alaric's wedding. Alaric also let out a long sigh and held Galatea in his arms. "Life and death, the impermanence of the world, no one can control it."

Griffon was now in jail, and the only one left to handle Ravenna and Orion's affairs was Cormac, but he was still unconscious.

Alaric and Galatea had to help. As Cormac had said, Orion was unrecognizable.

No matter how many grudges they had before, at this moment, all that was left was a sense of sorrow. Orion had been rushing to see Ravenna one last time but had a car accident on the way. How regretful life could be.

Alaric and Galatea had made all the arrangements before the funeral. Cormac woke up after being unconscious for a day.

Galatea said to him, "Cormac, Ravenna, and Orion's affairs are all arranged. All that's left is the funeral."

Cormac just lay weakly on the hospital bed, not responding.

Galatea added, "Cormac, I know anything I say now is meaningless, but the dead can't come back to life. You have to take care of yourself."

Since Ravenna was hospitalized, Cormac had been staying in the hospital, sleepless and restless.

"I want to be alone for a while," Cormac said slowly.

Galatea said, "Okay. Alaric and I will be right outside. Cormac, call us if you need anything."

Cormac didn't respond.

Galatea turned and walked out, gently closing the door behind her. While Cormac was unconscious, the doctor had given him a nutrient injection. Now, Cormac wasn't eating, so he could only rely on nutrient injections to sustain himself.

After walking out, Galatea saw Alaric, who also had a furrowed brow.

"It will take Cormac a long time to come to terms with it fully," Galatea sighed.

Alaric understood. At this moment, Silas walked over and reported to him, "Mr. Alaric, there's news from the police station."

News about Griffon?

Griffon had always doted on Orion. Now that he knew Orion was dead, he must be in unbearable pain, too, right?

But he deserved it. This was all he was doing!
