Chapter 336 You're Amazing
Alaric's body was really weak now. The reaction to the medication yesterday really took a toll on him. Talking too
much just now made him feel particularly uncomfortable, so Stellan gave him another injection, and Alaric
drifted off to sleep. Knowing that Alaric was awake now, Cormac was particularly happy and quickly drove to the
Knight mansion.
When he arrived, Alaric was still asleep. Stellan quickly made a quiet gesture to Cormac, who then walked softly.
Cormac asked, "How is he doing after waking up?"
Stellan replied, "He's very weak, he can't say much, but it's a process. It's good that he's awake."
Cormac nodded. "Yes, this proves that Josep's treatment is very effective. Josep will continue to treat him, and |
believe he will recover soon."
"Yes." Stellan was also full of confidence.
Since Alaric was still asleep, Stellan glanced at Cormac and then asked, "Cormac, have you seen Rowena these
past two days? I've been so busy taking care of Alaric that | haven't had a chance to call her." Cormac
responded, "Oh, | saw her. She's teaching Aurora to play an instrument now."
"Really?" Cormac wasn't a stranger, so Stellan decided to be straightforward. "Cormac, after everything that's
happened, I've cto see you as a brother. Since we're not just acquaintances, I'll be direct. | was talking to
Rowena, and she mentioned that she's never really forgotten you. The breakup years ago was due to pressure
from your family. Now, after a decade, you're reunited-it's almost as if fate has brought you back together.
"I understand you have reservations, and while those concerns cfrom a good place, what's truly best for her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtis to protect her for a lifetime. That's what she really wants."
Stellan's sudden confession left Cormac at a loss for words. Fortunately, Alaric woke up just then.
"Alaric's awake!" Cormac quickly shifted the focus and moved to the bedside.
Alaric had been deeply asleep this tand woke up feeling much better than before, with a bit more strength in
his body.
"Alaric, Cormac cto see you," Stellan said quickly. "You're here thanks to Cormac. After you fell unconscious,
my anesthetic was still in effect, and | was completely powerless. Cormac showed up just in tto get you to
the hospital." "And I'm grateful you calledthat night asking for Rowena's number. Otherwise, | wouldn't have
anticipated the trouble you were in."
Alaric couldn't help but smile at Cormac's words. He had been frantic at the time.
He'd been trying to reach Stellan, but her phone was off. Feeling uneasy, he wanted to call Rowena, but didn't
have her number, which led him to contact Cormac. "Thanks, Cormac. You've saved my life twice now."
Last time, Cormac had also been there when Alaric suffered a sudden cardiac arrest.
"Seems like I'm in your debt for life," Alaric joked.
"Life's still long, so don't think you can get off easy. I'll make sure to find a way to get you to repayfor these
two lifesaving favors," Cormac said with a grin.
Alaric chuckled and nodded. "Deal."
Stellan smiled and then added, "Alaric, there's something important we need to discuss. With you out of
commission, Nexus Innovations couldn't operate without an acting board member. Cormac could handle it for a
short while, but it's not sustainable for long, so..."
"So, you're the acting board member for Nexus Innovations now?"
That explained why Neil had mentioned going to the office to find Stellan.
"Yes," Stellan said carefully, "I was worried you might be upset. Initially, Marigold would have been the ideal
choice, but..."
"| get it." Alaric understood perfectly. If Marigold were to take over as acting board member, Cormac's position
would be jeopardized, and Alaric didn't want that for Marigold.
"You made the right choice. You're more suitable than she would have been." Alaric supported Stellan
wholeheartedly, pleasantly surprised. "My wife is not only great at medical research but also at running the
company. You're amazing." "Are you mocking me?"
"Not at all. My wife is truly incredible," Alaric replied. "While I'm recovering, you go ahead and handle things."
Stellan was touched by Alaric's support. She nodded and said, "Don't worry. I'll manage the company well. But
you need to get better soon. I'm not entirely up to the task and can't handle it forever."
"Exactly," Cormac added. "You've gothelping out temporarily, which makes it hard forto step away. So
hurry up and get well, alright? Once you're better, we'll definitely have that drink you promised." "Count on it. |
won't forget," Alaric said with a smile.
"Alright, you're still weak, so rest up. Don't worry about the rest. Now that you're awake, | can leave. I'm heading
back to the office."
"I'll walk Cormac out," Stellan offered, leading him to the door.
As she had mentioned before, Cormac wasn't just a stranger; there was no need to stand on ceremony.
"You have something you want to discuss, don't you?" Cormac asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Looks like a psychologist's intuition is spot on," Stellan said. "I do have something on my mind. The recent
kidnapping incident was actually orchestrated by Mrs. Knight in collusion with the Vale Family." "Do you have any
proof?"
"No, but I'm certain of it." Stellan's frustration was evident. "Cormac, do you think | should tell Alaric?"
Cormac thought for a moment before responding, "If you had concrete evidence, you should definitely tell him.
It's important for him to see the truth about his mother and understand what really happened. But without
evidence, if you tell him, Marigold will likely turn the tables. She'll put on a show, making Alaric choose between
her and you. Marigold is his biological mother, and making him choose between his mother and his wife is a
tricky situation. If he believes you, Marigold will undoubtedly be emotionally devastated and make a tic
scene.
"If he sides with Marigold, then you'll be the one left heartbroken. None of these outcomes are ideal. From my
experience, my advice is to hold off on telling Alaric until you have proof."
