Alexander's return was supposed to be good news, but Lily did not look relaxed and becgloomier instead.
That would only mean that something was up.
‘He might've gotten infected with the disease.l’ve yet to see him and am unsure of his situation"
Lily picked up the teacup and took a sip to calm herself.
"The disease?"
Dominic's hand paused as he lifted the teapot.He knitted his brow.
"He's back? | mean, he’s home?"
"No."
Lily shook her head and continued, "He also knows it's serious and naturally wouldn't return or meetfor Galen's and my
sake.He's not even in Kingsland. suppose he’s recuperating in a relatively remote area."

"Oh."
Letting out a sigh of relief, Dominic put down his teapot and sat before her.
"What's your plan?"
"I'm going to meet him."
Dominic frowned.
"Are you out of your mind?!"
"I'd like to know what the disease is all about," Lily said seriously.
"Every country is studying it. There's no need for you to meddle in this." Dominic reasoned objectively.
"There are many precedents of pandemics, so you should know how huge the impact could be. "Even though the medical field is
very advanced, no one knows how it began, and it’s spreading fast. With you being pregnant, he’s right not to see you!"
"I know he’s right, but at the stime, | feel there's nothing wrong with going to see him."
Without waiting for him to speak, she added, "I know! should take proper safety measures, and there might be a risk.
However, old man, you were a physician for many years.
Haven't you faced any dangers or risks before?"
Dominic was stumped.
She was right that he had been in various situations when he was adventuring, coming face-to-face with unknown poisonous
plants, insects, and complex and unpredictable people.
However, he was all alone and had nothing to lose.
"You're different because you're not alone! You have Galen and are now pregnant with twins.You have to think about them!"
Dominic said in disapproval.
"It's because of them that | have to learn more about it."
Lily touched her belly softly and continued, "The pandemic is not slowing down and spreading.Although Kingsland is still free of it,
there are already cases in our country, and no one knows what kind of situation we'll find ourselves in.
"with so many experts researching it worldwide, they're still unable to find a cure.If my children were to live in such an
environment, how could | do nothing? I know | might not have that prowess, and | should just mind my own business if Alex didn’t

"However, now that he is, | have to visit him.It's not just to care for or cure him, but | do so hoping my children would not live ina
world of pandemics."
Lily had thought it through.
A philosopher once urged humans to better themselves morally when they had not achieved their ambitions and to contribute to
humankind when they had the means.
She was not that noble and had not thought about saving people, but under the current situation, she could not shut her heart to
it.
It was not just for others but for herself, her family, and those around her.
Dominic quieted down, knowing full well that she was right.
Lately, the news brought over by his messenger pigeons was not rosy, and the disease could spread into Kingsland from the
surrounding areas.
Living as a hermit in his estate, he did not know how much longer he could live.
However, he knew the toddler standing before him still had along life ahead.
‘If we all think it has nothing to do with us, how would the world end up in the future?’
