His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 1870

However, Dominic still looked meager and tired, and his voice sounded softer. It was dry and hoarse. Alexander would have missed

it if not for his heightened hearing. He squatted beside the older man again and inched closer to him. “How're you feeling?”

Dominic shook his head feebly before opening his mouth and choppily muttered, "Don't...let...any...out."

Although he was not speaking in complete sentences, Alexander still understood his meaning.

"Is it very contagious?"

The older man nodded but did not answer.

"Will | be infected?" Alexander wondered if he could escape this calamity. After the last plague almost killed him, he did not think

he would face another disaster. Despite this, none of it mattered now.

If Galen had gotten infected, Alexander's fear was redundant. He must stay by his son's side to accompany and care for him.

"Not...sure." The older man took a deep breath before raising his arms with great effort. "Look!"

Before he could lift his arm to put it out of the tub, it dropped heavily into the water again. Just like that, it fell below the water's

surface.

Alexander was startled and subconsciously wanted to reach out to help Dominic, who dodged him slightly.

"Don't...touch me!" Dominic seemed like he was having a hard ttalking. Whenever he talked, he would tightly frown as if he

had exhausted all his strength.

“No, no, | won't!" Alexander raised his hands in surrender. It made his doubts grow. It looked like things were not as simple as they

seemed. He thought he had a rough idea of what was happening, but seeing Dominic's condition now, it seemed like it was not as

straightforward as an infectious disease.

The older man mumbled again vaguely. Although Alexander could not catch what Dominic said this time, he guessed it was

another string of curses.

‘The old man's temper is something else!’

"Damn it!" Dominic snorted, not knowing whether he had lost his temper with himself or Alexander. Following that, he raised his

arms and put them by the side of the tub.

Alexander could only stay rooted and watch him. He was shocked because he had never seen an arm like that before.

The blue veins on Dominic's arms were prominent, just like how an arm of a skinny and malnourished person would look, but that

was not it. Dominic's arms were not bony, but the veins and blood vessels remained prominent.

Most importantly, the veins seemed to be throbbing. However, the blood they pumped seemed abnormal. A strange thought

flashed through Alexander's mind, enough to send chills down his spine.

"That..."

The older man did not speak as he closed his eyes again. It seemed like he had exhausted all his strength by putting his arm out.

He sat there, gasping for breath.

The smell of the medicinal herbs mixed with the water vapor as it transpired in the air. With each breath, Dominic's veins became

more pronounced. They even began to throb even faster.

“Throbbing...veins...”
