Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 318 You Never Forgot Him, Right?

Since it was nighttime and Cormac was at the hospital, Rowena decided to avoid him by going to the lounge, knowing that if she went to see him, he would leave immediately.

In the ward, Cormac stayed by the bedside with Stellan. Stellan quickly said, "Cormac, your arm is injured. You should go rest. I can handle things here by myself."

"It's just a scratch. Stuart is determined to kill Alaric out of anger. I'm worried that if he can't do it openly, he might try something sneaky. It's not very safe in the hospital with constant flow of different people," Cormac said, clearly concerned. "I'm worried too, so I've already contacted the bodyguards. No matter what, I won't let anyone harm Alaric," Stellan replied.

"That's good," Cormac said.

Despite Stuart being taken away by the police, he was innocent of any wrongdoing, making it easy for him to evade responsibility and be released after a short interrogation. This was precisely why Cormac remained apprehensive. "Cormac, you're right. The hospital is crowded and not safe. Tomorrow, we'll do a full-body checkup on Alaric. If everything is normal, I'll take him home. I'm a doctor, and I can take good care of him at home. Besides, it's safer," Stellan said. "Yes, I feel the same way. The Vale Family wants Alaric dead, and now that he's unconscious, it's the perfect opportunity for them. We have to be very careful."

Stellan nodded and looked at Cormac's arm, asking, "How's the wound doing?"

"It's just a superficial wound; at most, it will need to be dressed three times before it's fully healed," Cormac replied.

"Still, be careful not to get it wet or injured again," Stellan said, pressed her lips. Then, somewhat embarrassed, she added, "Cormac, with the injury and all the exhaustion, you should be resting now. However, there's something urgent that only you can handle."

"I know what you're talking about. Don't worry. I'll take care of it."

Stellan smiled with relief and couldn't help but say, "Cormac, Alaric is lucky to have a friend like you."

"He's lucky to have a wife like you," Cormac said, looking at Alaric on the bed. "He's got good fortune and a strong will to live. Don't worry. He will make it." Stellan couldn't help but smile at Cormac's words.

The next day, the doctor performed a full-body checkup on Alaric, and all indicators were normal. So, Stellan decided to discharge him and take him home.

After completing the discharge procedures, Rowena helped Stellan pack up. While packing, Rowena asked worriedly, "Stellan, is it really okay for Mr. Knight to be discharged?" "No problem. I'll take good care of him at home," Stellan replied.

"You're right; with your medical expertise, home care can be just as effective as hospital care. Besides, the home environment offers better surroundings." Rowena said.

As they finished packing, Rowena looked around and asked, "Isn't Cormac coming today?"

Stellan looked at her and asked deliberately, "Do you want him to come?"

"No, it's just that I saw he was injured yesterday," Rowena explained.

"Worried? Heartbroken?" Stellan asked quickly.

Rowena blushed immediately. To be honest, she couldn't help to be worried about Cormac.

"You never got over him, right?" Stellan asked directly.

Rowena blushed even more and quickly said, "Let's help Mr. Knight first."

Stellan had arranged for an RV. She helped the doctor lay Alaric on the bed in the RV, while she and Rowena sat on the sofa.

Stellan glanced at Alaric, who was sleeping soundly.

Turning her gaze back to Rowena, she asked, "You haven't answered my question."

"What?"

"Don't play dumb. Have you never gotten over Cormac?" Stellan asked directly again.

"I guess not," Rowena answered.

"What do you mean 'I guess'? It's either yes or no," Stellan pressed on.

Rowena blushed even more and explained, "First loves are always hard to forget. To be honest, Cormac was really good to me when we were dating. He was considerate and caring, and he completely changed my view of wealthy families.

I knew there was a big gap between us, so I worked hard to be worthy of him. But fate is like that. Cormac didn't act like a rich kid, but his father, Griffon, did. Griffon approached me many times, asking me to leave Cormac.

At first, I was determined, but then the rumors and insults grew. Everyone, whether they knew me or not, was cursing me. During that time, my dorm bedding was always getting soaked by others, and my clothes on the balcony were always thrown into the sewer.

My desk and books were covered with insults. There were many such incidents. I was on the verge of collapse and thought death would be a relief. But I survived, and I was really scared.

I was afraid the insults would continue, afraid Griffon would make my life miserable if I stayed with Cormac, and afraid I would ruin Cormac's life. I had severe self-doubt and felt unworthy of Cormac. Even thinking about being with him made me feel guilty.

I decided to break up and leave the city to escape everyone so I could survive. After the breakup, I don't even remember how many years it took to heal. I always comforted myself that Cormac would find a great girl because of his good background and character.

I never dared to think about him because it hurt too much. I thought we would each find new partners and live our own lives. When Richard confessed to me, I agreed immediately.

I guess I was really wanting to jump into a new romance to try and get over the heartache from the past relationship. However, It's a twist of fate. I never saw this coming."

"This isn't a twist of fate; it's destiny," Stellan said. "Now that you're both single, not being together would be a waste of this destiny," Stellan said.

Stellan glanced at Alaric again, smiling sweetly. "Alaric and I are also destined. After all these years, we're still together. This incident made me realize that aside from life and death, there are no great matters in life.

The most painful thing is parting by death. Why should two people who love each other be apart for anything less? Especially when you and Cormac have such a good opportunity. Rowena, take my advice. Ignore the gossip. Those people who speak without experiencing the hardships can't truly empathize with you. Only you know if you're happy. Fight for what you can. Don't wait until it's too late and regret it."
