"Are you done yet? When you were drugged up, weren't the seizures more painful than this? | didn't even hear you shouting like
that! Are you doing this on purpose?!"
"No, Uncle Dom. Go ahead. | won't scream anymore!" Austin lowered his head and bit the towel, trying not to make a sound.
This pain was completely different from the pain from the previous virus attack. It was explosive, and it felt like the cells in her
body were splitting apart and exploding simultaneously. Although the pain was silent, his body felt as though it were being torn
apart. All his strength was used in the splitting of his cells, so he didn't have any energy left to scream.
However, the pain from the old man's acupuncture was continuous and slow. The pain seeped into his bones slowly, making him
break out in a cold sweat.
Seeing his appearance, Dominic sighed and shook his head. He held the needle in his hand and gently pressed the edge of the
acupuncture point with his other hand a few times.

To be honest, he also knew it was painful. The cause of the pain was not the acupuncture itself but the interaction between the
medicine on the needle and its absorption into the acupoints.
However, this was inevitable. After all, the poison in his body should be removed as soon as possible to improve the medicine's
effect. This was the only way.
At this time, a servant cin to report. "Sir, the child is here."
"Lily is here?" Dominic was a little surprised, wondering why she didn't call beforehand.
‘Isn't she swamped these days? How did she make tto cover? Why did she bring her son with her?’
He was so delighted that he had forgotten about the needle in his hand, poking it into Austin's flesh.
Austin did not dare to say anything and let out a muffled snort. He was also happy with what he heard.
‘If Lily is here, does that mean she can take over? That way, it might not hurt as much.’
However, what was said next disappointed him.
"No. Mr. Russell brought the boy here," the servant replied.
For Galen's sake, the servant did not stop him. Now, the two of them were waiting in the living room.
"Him?!" Now, Dominic was even more surprised. ‘Why didn't Lily come? Why did she send her husband and son instead? Alexander
has never visited here alone before this.’
There was a bad premonition in his heart as discomfort crept up his back. With a frown, Dominic said, "Where are they?"
"In the living room."
He nodded. "I'll be right there!"

Alexander was sitting in the living room with his son. The little guy seemed to feel at home. He went straight to a corner, climbed
in, and started playing with his pile of toys.
Alexander wanted to stop Galen at first, but when he saw that the area was set up for the child and that Galen was moving around
it skillfully, he realized that the corner was made just for him.
He raised his eyebrows, remembering what happened at the gate. He was stopped, but as soon as the gatekeeper saw Alexander,
he allowed them in without question. This surprised Alexander.
He never imagined the day when he would need his son to enter certain places.
Seeing his son roll around in the pile of toys, Alexander suddenly felt a sense of relief. He understood why Lily left Galen here when
she went to find him. It was indeed reassuring that Galen was left here.
Just as Alexander was thinking about this, he heard footsteps from behind. When he turned around, he saw Dominic walking out of
the backyard.
