Alaric was at a loss, unable to discern whether Georgia truly cared for their child or was utterly indifferent to the child's safety. On one hand, she did give birth to the child and raised him. But on the other, when the child was injured, instead of rushing him to the hospital, she called Alaric, forcing him to show up. The bump on the child's forehead seemed of no concern to her, as she hadn't yet taken him to get it looked after.

Now a father himself Alaric, though not having spent much twith Julian and Helena, felt a profound love for them. Should Julian or Helena be injured, he'd be equally anxious. He would put aside all conflicts, focusing on treating the child's injury, rather than dwelling on the grievances between adults.
But Georgia? Her first reaction to the child's injury wasn't concern but to blHertha, using the incident to force him into appearing. In Georgia's world, she always cfirst. No one else could claim the primary spot in her heart, not even her own child, whose well-being didn't seem as crucial as the issues she wanted to deal with. This was the fundamental difference between Georgia and Hertha. Georgia, to an extreme, cared only for her desires, oblivious to the feelings of others. Hertha, appearing carefree and light-hearted, genuinely cared for those important to her, especially her children, whom she considered paramount.
Alaric's affection for Hertha might very well stem from her innate kindness, a quality that Georgia lacked significantly. Unfortunately, Georgia would never understand why she fell short. Suppressing his disdain for Georgia, Alaric said, "What's the point of arguing now? Let's just take the child to the hospital." With that, Alaric turned and walked away.
Georgia, in a panic, took a few steps forward, "Alaric, what are you trying to say?" Alaric, nearly speechless with frustration, turned and said, "Let's go, what are you waiting for?" He shot Georgia an irritated look before walking off quickly.

Realizing this, the anger in Georgia's eyes was quickly replaced with joy, and she hurried after Alaric, clutching the child tighter and whispering, "Daddy's taking you to the hospital now, sweetie. You'll feel better soon." Alaric, leading the way, heard what Georgia said to the child and couldn't help but find it ironic. He was taking the child to the hospital, and that was supposed to make everything better? It was probably just Georgia convincing herself.
Luckily, there was a hospital not far from the mall. Alaric helped with the check-in at the emergency department, where after a brief examination and a few questions, the doctor assured them it was nothing serious, just ssuperficial bruising, and advised care at home. Hearing the doctor's reassurance, Alaric felt a wave of relief wash over him.
