His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 1865

"The virus from my body infected them." Austin lowered his head, seeming to blhimself.

It was a severe issue, so Alexander urged, "Talk while we walk!"

He could not help but quicken his pace when he thought about his son. As expected, the two did not meet any servants on the way.

The whole house seemed abandoned. Even the air seemed suffocating with a sense of uneasiness.

Alexander observed the surroundings as they walked. The plants looked wilted, probably due to the lack of care, while the house

was stuffy and humid.

Alexander wore a simple protective suit but could still feel the heat. Even with the mask, he could vaguely smell the scent of the

medicinal herb in the air.

Although Dominic's place had always smelled of medicinal herbs, it was not as potent.

"Where's Galen?" Alexander looked around and asked when he did not see his son.

Austin pointed upstairs and replied, "I left him in the playroom, which is the safest area now. | disinfect it at the door daily, and his

meals are prepared with as little contact as possible. He has been very obedient, but..."

He paused and turned to look at Alexander. "I'm afraid if he stays here any longer, he'll also get infected."

Alexander frowned. "When did you discover this infectious disease?"

"Three days ago," Austin quickly answered.

"Three days ago?"

‘Does that mean it began spreading a few days after | left? That doesn’t sound right since Austin says he’s the cause of it. The

disease must've already been around long ago.’

As if able to see Alexander's doubts, Austin explained, "To be exact, Uncle Dom discovered that the virus in my body was highly

contagious three days ago, but it may have been a little too late.

“He initially wanted you to take your son away immediately, but he fell extremely sick. | was so occupied with caring for him that |

didn't have tto contact you. | could only call you since Uncle Dom's fever subsided a little."

Then he added, "I'm sorry."

With such a dangerous situation, he should have notified Alexander to take his son away immediately. Fortunately, Galen was

unharmed. If something did happen to him, Austin would not know how to explain himself.

When they reached the door, Austin turned the doorknob and said, "Kid, guess who's here to pick you up!"

Alexander peeked in when the door opened and noticed that the empty room had thick floor mats, and his precious son was lying

at the side by the window with his body curled up as if he had fallen asleep.

"This..." Austin's face flushed with embarrassment. "He was still playing when | went downstairs. | think he must've fallen asleep."

Instead of going in himself, he signaled for Alexander to go in instead.

Alexander nodded and strode in. "Galen, Daddy is here to pick you up."

However, the child did not respond. He seemed to be fast asleep.

Alexander's heart immediately rose to his throat, worried. He squatted and noticed that although Galen was motionless, his

breathing was shallow. Seeing this, Alexander immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He gently picked up the child, who had awakened from the movement, and murmured, "Daddy..."

With that, he fell asleep again.
