Mommy,We Got a Husband -
Chapter 314 His Condition Is Still Bad
Stellan was now keeping vigil by Alaric's bedside. Seeing him in a deep coma, she felt an overwhelming pain.
Stellan quickly fetched a wet towel and gently wiped Alaric's face, noting the significant weight loss he had endured due to the treatments during this period. The incident had inflicted further harm upon his already weakened body. "Alaric, you're so silly" A sharp pain stabbed Stellan's chest. "Do you know the consequences of taking such strong painkillers? You think you saved me, but if you die, how can I live on my own?" Fortunately, it was another close call. She was absolutely terrified.
After a while, Cormac returned to the ward and said, "I booked a room for Josep at a nearby hotel. He's gone to rest."
"Thank you, Cormac," Stellan said. "You should get some rest too."
"I'm fine," Cormac replied. "His condition is very serious this time; he might not wake up for a while. I've contacted Galen, and we'll transfer him to Serenity Heights Medical Center for observation. Once his condition stabilizes, he can be discharged."
"Alright, thank you for your thoughtfulness, Cormac," Stellan said gratefully.
The current hospital was quite remote, and the inpatient conditions were far inferior to those at Serenity Heights Medical Center, which was in the city center and close to their home, making everything more convenient.
After arranging everything at Serenity Heights Medical Center, the paramedics there specially arranged for the best RV to transfer Alaric.
Stellan was utterly exhausted and fell asleep beside Alaric in the vehicle. Cormac closed his eyes on the nearby sofa.
Serenity Heights Medical Center provided Alaric with the best VIP room, which was like a high-end hotel suite with all the necessary facilities.
"Cormac, I really couldn't have managed these past few days without you. You should go home and rest; I'll stay here with Alaric," Stellan said gratefully. "Alright, I'll go check on Aurora and arrange some work, then I'll come back," Cormac replied.
"Okay," Stellan responded softly, her gaze fixated upon Alaric's face.
Cormac turned and left the ward, carefully closing the door. The past few dozen hours had been the most difficult of his life, and he was utterly exhausted. Cormac slowly walked towards the elevator. Just as he turned the corner, someone hurriedly ran into his arms.
"I'm sorry; so sorry," Rowena apologized repeatedly, realizing she had bumped into someone. When she lifted her gaze and saw it was Cormac, both of them were momentarily stunned. "It's okay," Cormac said coldly, then walked around her and headed straight for the elevator.
Rowena glanced back at him, then quickened her pace and ran towards the ward.
For the past two days, Rowena had been very worried since Stellan hadn't returned home after meeting her. She had been calling Stellan, but Stellan hadn't answered.
Now that Alaric was out of immediate danger, Stellan finally answered Rowena's call, informing her that Alaric was hospitalized at Serenity Heights Medical Center. Rowena rushed over to help. Entering the ward, Rowena moved quietly and slowly walked over, calling out, "Stellan."
"Rowena, you're here," Stellan said softly.
"What happened? How is Mr. Knight?" Rowena asked anxiously.
"He's had a relapse. It's more critical than before, and we're still uncertain about his awakening." Stellan said, her face full of worry and exhaustion.
"I'm so sorry, Stellan. It's all my fault. If I hadn't asked you out, this wouldn't have happened," Rowena said, feeling deeply guilty.
"No. Not your fault," Stellan replied. "They had plenty of opportunities to kidnap me. I can't stay indoors forever. Rowena, you don't need to feel guilty; it's really not your fault." Despite Stellan's words, Rowena still felt guilty. She said, "Stellan, you look terrible. You haven't slept these past few days, have you? Go get some rest; I'll keep watch here."
"It's okay. I took a nap in the car on the way here. I don't want to do anything right now; I just want to stay with him," Stellan said as she wiped Alaric's hand.
Rowena had always noticed the deep bond between Stellan and Alaric. With Alaric's sudden illness, Stellan's worry was understandable.
"Then I'll stay here with you. If you need any help, just let me know," Rowena offered.
"Alright," Stellan said, not standing on ceremony with her.
Cormac hadn't been home for days, and Aurora was very worried. Now that Aurora was no longer a naive child, Cormac told her the truth. "What's wrong with Uncle Alaric? Is he sick?" Aurora asked worriedly.
"Yes, but he'll get better soon," Cormac said, patting her head. "The company is busy these days, and Stellan can't handle everything at the hospital alone. I need to go there too, so you need to take care of yourself."
"Okay, I will. Don't worry about me." Aurora said, also reminding him, "Uncle Cormac, take care of yourself too. Don't stay up late. I'll bring you meals at the hospital."
Hearing this, Cormac couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Just take care of yourself and call me if you need anything."
"Okay." Aurora nodded. "Uncle Cormac, don't worry. Uncle Alaric will get better."
Cormac smiled gratefully and then left.
In the ward, Stellan and Rowena were both there, and Alaric was still in a coma. When Josep entered, Stellan quickly stood up and said, "Josep."
"Galatea," Josep said, glancing at the comatose Alaric with a furrowed brow. "Although he's out of immediate danger, his condition is still very bad. We must ensure he receives proper nutrition while in this coma. Even if he wakes up, he'll need a long period of recovery. Galatea, you need to be prepared for that."
"I understand," Stellan said, looking at Alaric. "As long as he wakes up, I'll be willing to take care of him for the rest of my life."
"It's good that you're prepared for that," Josep said.
"Thank you so much, Josep," Stellan said. "Are you planning to stay in the country for a few days, or are you flying back immediately?"
"I'd like to fly back immediately, but I can't leave just yet. Galen insists that I give lectures to the hospital's doctors and engage in various academic exchanges," Josep replied.
"Absolutely, Josep, a person of your stature rarely visits home, so they certainly can't let this opportunity slip by. Your dedication is commendable," Stellan said.
Immediately after Stellan finished speaking, Marigold rushed in before Josep could respond.
