Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 47 Cyberbullied Again

For the next few hours, Galatea didn't utter a word. For the first time, breathing felt exhausting. No, breathing itself was painful.

"Galatea," the doctor said, "you haven't lost your memory, and there's no impact on your hearing or cognitive abilities. So, the head trauma isn't too severe. With proper rest, there shouldn't be any lasting effects." Galatea didn't respond.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?" Alaric tried to offer reassurance, though it sounded more like he was trying to convince himself with the worn out proverb.

Galatea couldn't help but let out a wry smile inside. Wasn't it said that those who survive great disasters are met with great fortune down the line?

'She nearly died in childbirth years ago, and it took so long to recover from those complications. How long would it take this time?' she wondered.

Under the weight of illness, her mood dipped, but then she suddenly thought of something important and asked weakly, her voice hoarse," How are my children ?" "Don't worry, I told Elisa I took you on a trip," he assured her.

Hearing this, Galatea felt relieved. If Harry and Elisa had known about her condition, they would have been worried sick.

"Just focus on getting better and don't think about anything else."

She nodded. For Harry and Elisa, she had to fight to survive!

"Phone." She didn't have the strength to call, but she could send them a message.

"Your phone died. It's turned off. Here, you can use mine. Who do you need to call? I can do it for you."

Send a message using his phone?

"No need, as long as they don't suspect anything. Thanks," she replied.

Alaric's guilt deepened as he recalled Cormac's words about how a person struck by sudden misfortune can have their spirits and temper affected.

'He truly wished Galatea would be her old self again, blaming himself for the accident due to his persistent pushing.'

But she hadn't mentioned a word of it. While holding his phone, he glanced at a news alert that popped up.

"Top Surgeon from Serenity Heights Medical Center in a Coma After Tragic Accident!"

Startled by the update, Alaric realized the media somehow got the story, even though he had been by Galatea's side at the hospital the whole time. How did they find out? Alaric shifted his gaze back to Galatea, who had once again closed her eyes. With a sigh, he turned his attention to the breaking news on his phone.

The comments below the article were disgusting.

[Justice served! She used to play God, and now it's payback time. Hope she stays in a coma. Burn in hell!]

[I pray this monster gets what's coming to her and never lives to harm another soul.]

[I'm not one for cyberbullying, but for a friend like her, I'll look the other way. I hope she meets her end tonight. Hit the like button and retweet if you're with me!] Comments like these were endless, a bitter reminder of the social media firestorm that had engulfed Galatea after the last medical incident.

But the truth was that Galatea had always been dedicated to saving lives. Yet, she was being crucified online, portrayed as a greedy surgeon performing operations just for the money, despite the family's objections, leading to a patient's death. Alaric had dismissed the previous online attack as idle chatter from ignorant netizens. But witnessing Galatea in agony from a car accident and still subjected to curses and insults from strangers ignited a mix of heartache and fury within him. He dialed Silas Moon's number but then thought better of it and called Cormac instead.

As soon as Cormac picked up, Alaric didn't let him get a word in. "Did you tell anyone about Galatea's accident?"

"Of course not!" Cormac was baffled. "What's going on? Who else knows?"

"It's trending."

"What? Is it trending?" Cormac sounded shocked. "Galatea's just a doctor, not some celebrity. Why would her car accident make headlines?"

Cormac couldn't fathom it, but Alaric was insistent. "I don't care how you do it, just make it go away-now!"

Even though Cormac wasn't on good terms with Nash's Family Entertainment, they were experts in the field of PR and managing media storms.

"Fine, I got it." After hanging up the call, Cormac flipped to the trending news on his phone and sure enough, the barrage of comments made it crystal clear why Alaric was so livid.

"These keyboard warriors have too much time on their hands," Cormac muttered to himself.

"The woman's already been through hell with the accident. Really, instead of sending good vibes, they're throwing shade at her? What's with folks these days?"

"Who got in a car crash?" Just then, Harry unexpectedly hopped into the car, leaning in and throwing the question at Cormac, giving him quite the scare.

He was just there to pick up Caspian from school. As for Harry's question, Cormac quickly shut off his phone. 'If he catches wind of Galatea's crash and the trolling - and knowing how much he adores her - that might just kill him.' "Nothing much." Cormac blurted out quickly, trying to divert the topic, "Just flipping through the news. Caspian, you're out of school already?"

"How's that early?" Harry grumbled, "Cormac, you see others waiting at the school gate and you can't even step out of the car? Good thing I'm vigilant. If something happened to me, how'd you explain that to my dad?" If it hadn't been for Alaric's call, he would've been out fetching Caspian already.

"Caspian's quite the champ." To keep Harry from growing suspicious, Cormac dropped the subject, "What's my dear Caspian in the mood for? Let's go for a fancy meal. My treat."

"Sure, I'm all for a luxurious meal!"

After finishing his call with Cormac, something suddenly occurred to Alaric, and he quickly unlocked his phone to check Orion's Facebook.

'Just as I thought!'

[What goes around comes around!]

Her fan base continuously echoed this sentiment in the comments. It was also her outspokenness that fueled the fire last time, spiking the incident's attention.

Alaric was livid, wishing he could wring the neck of that malicious woman.

It was then that another thought struck him, and he pulled out his phone to make two calls, one to Galen and the other to Silas Moon.

Meanwhile, Orion was seated in front of her vanity, all smiles as her makeup artist worked on her while she read through the comments with amusement.

When she learned of Galatea's accident from her father, she could barely contain her glee, eagerly asking, "She got in an accident? Is she dead?" "No, she's still unconscious right now," her father said.

Orion was surprisingly disappointed to hear that she hadn't died.

Initially, Orion was irked to find out she was still alive, but the sight of those comments immediately lifted his spirits.
