Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 240 Nothing on Cormac

Aurora had been with Cormac for days but still knew nothing about him.

She was afraid that asking him about his past might upset him, so she never did.

"I'm a psychologist, but I know some surgery basics. Treating minor injuries is no big deal."

"Wow, that's awesome!" Aurora's eyes lit up. "You can do both surgery and psychology. That's incredible!"

Aurora was amazed. "It's not that impressive, just a bit of knowledge."

"Why aren't you practicing as a doctor anymore?" Aurora asked, confused. "Being a doctor is so noble. Why do hard labor now? My dad had to because he didn't study much. But you're so talented; why?" Aurora couldn't get it. Honestly, no one would.

"No special reason. Just didn't want to be a doctor anymore," Cormac said.

Aurora didn't know the details but sensed asking more would make him sad. So she quickly said, "If being a doctor isn't for you, then forget it. Your happiness is what matters." Cormac was surprised. He smiled, tapped her head, and said, "You're quite the smooth talker."

Aurora just giggled.

"But don't overwork yourself. If you get sick, it'll be a problem." Aurora was genuinely scared because of her dad, Matthew.

Cormac nodded. "Got it."

"My schooling doesn't cost much now. When I get to high school, I can work part-time, and you won't have to worry about college. I'll get a scholarship."

Aurora was always diligent and believed she'd get a full scholarship.

"So don't overwork. My dad got sick from overworking and staying up late. I don't want you to end up like him. I want you to live a long life."

Cormac smiled warmly. "Alright, with your blessings, I will."

"Yes." Aurora nodded firmly.

For Cormac, these days, though tough, felt more meaningful.

In his past luxurious life, he didn't know his goals. He was just getting by, which was dull.

After a long day, Alaric went to Reassuring Clinic to pick up Stellan. When he arrived, she was still busy with patients.

Alaric watched her work. Seeing her in her white coat was captivating.

Finally, Stellan finished and stretched. Alaric asked, "Busy day?"

"Yes, lots of patients today, some from out of town. It's flattering," Stellan said.

"Your reputation as a healer is growing. More people will come to you," Alaric said, pulling her close. "You need help. You can't do it all alone, or you'll wear yourself out." "You're right," Stellan said. "Let's go home. We haven't seen Caspian, Harry, and Elisa in two days. I miss them."

"Me too," Alaric replied. "I think about the kids all the time."

Stellan closed the clinic, and they got in the car.

"Galatea, remember Brennan's old assistant, Derek?" Alaric asked.

"Yeah, did you find him?"

"We know where he works now. It's a bit far, but I can have someone contact him," Alaric said.

Stellan was surprised they found Derek so quickly. She was nervous, wanting to uncover the truth about the Storm family's bankruptcy but also scared of what they might find. "Your clinic just opened. We can wait a few days. Derek won't disappear," Alaric said.

"Let's see him this weekend," Stellan decided. "It's better if I go personally. Your people might scare him."

"I get it," Alaric said. "I'll go with you this weekend."

"No need, you're busy with the entertainment center opening. I can go alone..."

"Nothing's more important than this. It's settled."

Stellan was pleased with Alaric's insistence. "Alright. Thanks, honey."

Alaric laughed, "My pleasure."

Stellan then remembered something. "Any news about Cormac?"

They had found Derek, but still no word on Cormac.

"No," Alaric sighed. "Nothing on Cormac."

"Arizona's tough for Cormac. Maybe he really left," Stellan said.

"Griffon's case goes to trial next month. I wonder if Cormac will come back," Alaric added.

"Next month? So soon?"

"Yeah, with my influence, the court sped things up."

"Any idea on Griffon's sentencing?" Stellan asked.

"No, but it won't be light," Alaric sighed. "Griffon doesn't care about the sentence. Since Orion died, he has no will to live."

"He only cares about Orion, not Cormac. He doesn't even ask about Cormac after the bankruptcy."

Alaric had asked Griffon about this during his last visit. He felt it was unfair to Cormac and felt guilty.

"Let's not talk about Cormac. No news is good news," Stellan said, noticing Alaric's discomfort. "Cormac is a good guy. He'll be okay. Let's go home and see Caspian, Harry, and Elisa."

Alaric agreed and drove home. When they entered, they didn't see the kids. Instead, they saw Marigold.

Marigold looked gloomy. Stellan was a bit flustered. Marigold had just accepted her in the morning. Had she changed her mind already?
