That punch landed right on Austin’s stomach, causing him to let out a loud growl as he staggered backward. He pointed at
Alexander and wanted to say so much, but he could only say, “F*ck!”
“] don’t know what's going on now either. I'm unsure if everyone here got infected by a virus, an infectious disease, or...”
Alexander stopped briefly before continuing, “You guys are medical practitioners, yet you don’t know what's happening.
“Do you think I'd know anything? | was just checking if there was anything strange with your bodies. | didn’t mean anything else,
and you shouldn't read too much into that either.”
Before Dominic regained consciousness, Alexander could not bring up the matter of the symbiote because he did not know what it
was either. Seeing how rash Austin was, he might just exacerbate the situation.
However, Austin noticed the momentary pause in Alexander's words.

‘What could it be if not a virus or an infectious disease? What is it?"
Perhaps the two men were causing too much commotion, or that twas up, but Dominic moved lightly. Although it was a light
move, the two instantly returned to their senses and focused on Dominic.
“Old man!” Alexander stood closer to Dominic as he reacted first.
“Yeah...” Dominic managed to squeeze a word out. It was soft, almost inaudible, but that was enough for them.
“Uncle Dom!” Austin pounced over, forgetting about the pain in his stomach. “You're awake? How are you feeling? Are you cold?
Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”
He tried to squeeze himself forward, almost shoving Alexander to the side in the process. Alexander knew Austin was anxious and
did not mind his actions. He even moved to the side to give the latter space.
However, Dominic glanced at Austin before averting his gaze to Alexander again. Then he raised his hand slightly.
Alexander held Dominic's hand right away. “I'm listening.”
“Help me... up.” Dominic only said three words but needed to breathe between them to complete his sentence. He also closed his
eyes midway, looking like he was conserving energy. Although conscious now, he was still tired and in bad condition.
Austin cover to help Dominic sit up as he placed a pillow behind the older man’s back. Dominic had always been energetic
back then, but it seemed he had aged a lot overnight. It upset Austin to see this.
“Uncle Dom, how are you feeling? It’s all my fault. | looked up all sorts of information, but | can’t find out what disease this is! Don’t

After all, Austin believed his granduncle would not be in this state if he did not save him. Austin swore he must save Dominic, even
at the cost of his own life.
“Get out of here!” Dominic rolled his eyes and roared.
It rendered Austin speechless. He instantly stopped feeling his emotions and pursed his lips while staring at Dominic.
It turned out Dominic was still the sas ever. Although he was weaker now, to the point it was exhausting for him to speak,
Austin was glad to hear his granduncle reprimanding him.
“Your granduncle did so much just to save you from that place. He didn’t do it just so you could go back there again,” Alexander
said, “Don’t be rash.”
Austin did not know what to say.
