Mommy，We Got a Husband by Doris

Chapter 125 Are you Reluctant to LetDie?

Before Alaric began, he took a light breath through his nose and slowly looked up at the ceiling. He gradually

started telling the story.

"My parents had an arranged marriage between two prominent families. They didn't have any feelings for each

other, and they had been arguing for as long as | can remember. Later on, my father had an affair, and their

relationship completely soured. At that time, | was still immature, but the idea of marriage being terrifying was

ingrained in me. Their marriage ended in failure, but they still arranged one forfrom a young age- a

childhood betrothal with Orion. | was particularly opposed to it. Afterward, when | had the opportunity to join the

military, | went without hesitation to escape this family."

"After joining the military, | felt like | was reborn. | found a career that | genuinely liked and was willing to protect

with my life. However, my father passed away shortly after. My mother pressuredto leave the military in all

types of ways. She even directly reached out to the higher-ups, so our commanding officers were also in a

difficult position."

"At that time, there was an international organization called the Astral Innovations Group, which was particularly

famous. Under my mother's pressure, my commanding officer never allowedto know of that organization. He

always advisedto cback. At that time, | wrote a military order- if | could dismantle Astral Innovations, no

one could makeleave the military. If | couldn't, then I'd willingly take off my uniform and leave. The higher-

ups agreed and promised that if | really did it, the highest levels of the military would personally talk to my

mother."

"So, for the next few years, | constantly dealt with this organization. The longer it went, the more | realized they

weren't as simple as | had imagined. They were like a never-ending black vortex. It spent many years of

painstakingly-searching for the organization's more important base, and I led the team to eliminate the

terrorists."

"I'm not exaggerating when | say that the gunfight lasted for a day and a night, with bullets flying and blood

flowing like a river. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. The mastermind on the other side, known only by the

code nTiger, was never seen."

"In the final moments of the gunfight, | found a guy named Tiger who had unparalleled skills and marksmanship.

The fight went from guns to close combat, and in the end, | managed to stab him in the chest with a knife.

However, to my surprise, Tiger had another gun hidden on him. He shotin the chest, and..."

At this point, Alaric paused for a bit before continuing, "I'll never forget the mocking and triumphant gaze he

had. He even smiled atand said, 'Do you think I'm Tiger? The real one is long gone, and you'll never catch

him. However, he'll return one day to kill your entire family and avenge us.' Afterward, he laughed atuntil he

fell with a smile still on his face. Shortly after, I lost consciousness and slept for a very long time. When | woke

up, | was already back at home. | immediately contacted the military about Tiger, but the commanding officer

had already retired. They responded that Astral Innovations Group had been completely crushed, and those

words Tiger said before his death were just his desperate struggle to scare me- nothing to be taken seriously."

"What happened later?" Galatea asked eagerly. "Did the real Tiger ever reappear?"

"No," Alaric replied.

"However, could it be that he intentionally scared you before his death? After all, those people were all

psychopaths who wouldn't let others off even when facing their demise. It's not impossible," she speculated.

"That's indeed true, but..." he hesitated and said, "I feel like what he said was true; the real Tiger isn't dead."

"But it's been so many years. Do you think he'll return for revenge?" she inquired.

"Perhaps he will, perhaps he won't," he said with a smile as he looked at her. "I'm telling you all this because |

want you to know that, whether it's my upbringing or the potential dangers, I'm resistant to marriage. In other

words, the moment | don't resist, it means the person | truly want to marry has appeared."

'Am | the one you really want to marry?’ Galatea thought in her mind.

When he was talking about his past grievances, she was already on edge. Suddenly, he changed the topic and

caught her off guard. Was this his true confession?

Seeing her stunned look, Alaric chuckled and asked, "Even if you're slow, you should understand what | mean

now, right?"

"Do... you really want to marry me?"

"What do you think?" he retorted before continuing, "Of course, you can refuse. After all, | did mention that the

real Tiger might not be dead, and I don't know when he'll return to seek revenge on me. Once he does, my family

will be in danger. So, it's up to you whether you want to take the risk of being part of it."

Hearing this, Galatea snorted coldly. She looked at him and replied, "Alaric, | find you quite optimistic. On the

surface, you're a wealthy man that all women want to marry. But in reality, you're not only a sick person in

constant danger of losing your life, but also a dangerous man whom enemies can target at any time. It's not a

good deal to be your wife."

"The latter situation may not necessarily happen. And if only the former happens, if | die from my illness early

on, then the Knight family's fortune will be yours. How is that a bad deal for you?"

"Alaric, could you please stop saying such gloomy things? What do you mean by dying early?" she scolded

angrily. "What? You can't bear to seedie?"

"I've already said that I can cure your aftereffects, but you keep saying you'll die from them. Isn't that the

greatest insult to my medical skills?" "Does that mean you're willing to continue being my private doctor?"

Galatea finally realized that he had tricked her, giving him a hard punch. "Alaric, you jerk. You tricked me!"

Alaric pretended to be in a lot of pain, so she nervously unbuttoned his collar. But in the process, he pulled her

into his arms.

"I've been busy all along, and now | finally have the tto see you..." At that moment, Cormac opened the door

and was about to walk in.

Hearing him coming in, Galatea hurriedly pushed Alaric away and stood up from his embrace.

It was already the second tthis happened, and Cormac was really regretful about that. Why did he forget to

knock on the door at such a critical moment? "Sorry, it seems like | cat the wrong time..." he said with a

smirk.

Galatea's face was now tomato red as she said, "I'll go out and talk to the doctor; you take your time."

She made an excuse and quickly ran out. After she did, Alaric's face was immediately gloomy. He said, "Next

time, callbefore you come. Don't cif it'll disturb me!"
