Austin stood in shock at the doorway as what he held fell to the floor with a clang. As he always took his twhen asked to do
things, Dominic was surprised that his grandnephew was back so soon.
Worse, he seemed to have overheard their conversation.
“Uncle Dom, I'm... the mother?” His voice sounded odd. It was hard for him to accept this. Although Austin always suspected he
was the source and the cause of what had happened, he found it hard to accept what he had just heard.
Even the word “mother” sounded bizarre to him.
Dominic coughed and explained, “Not you, but the thing inside you.”

However, the older man’s brief clarification only bewildered Austin further.
“Inside me...” Austin looked down at his body but could not see anything with his clothes on. He quickly unbuttoned his shirt,
revealing his skinny body. His previously lean and clear-defined muscle groups were no longer visible.
Dominic saw what his grandnephew was doing and coughed before sighing. “You won't be able to see it. Cover yourself up!”
“So you're saying there's something inside me? But you said you eliminated the toxin, and I'm fine. How can I...” It was a massive
blow to Austin.
He always thought he had recovered, and his formidable granduncle had found a way to counteract the “virus.” However, he had
caused his granduncle and the older man’s servants to fall sick. Not only that, but Austin had yet to recover fully.
‘Only God knows what's still hiding inside my body. | can also infect other people at any time. I'm like a ticking tbomb, bringing
danger to people around me, and I... have no idea when it'll attack me.’
Besides fear, Ausint felt somewhat sick to his stomach. He covered his mouth and turned to run into the bathroom.
Alexander and Dominic exchanged helpless expressions when hearing Austin throwing up. One of the reasons Dominic did not
want to tell his grandnephew about this was so he would not be overly stressed. It would be easier for Austin if he did not know
anything afterward.
However, Dominic could no longer hide it from Austin as he had overheard the duo's conversation.

“Then... is there a solution to this?” Alexander turned his head back and asked solemnly.
Although the whole thing sounded creepy and bizarre, being someone who had been around, he knew he must not panic as the
most important thing was to cup with a solution.
‘Since it already happened, there's no point in panicking. What matters now is to think of a way to solve the problem.”
Dominic did not answer him and sighed instead. Meanwhile, Alexander wondered if the older man had no solution or was simply
too tired and needed to rest.
After sthought, Alexander continued, “I remember reading about venomous symbiotes in s, which claim people
create them and there are ways to get rid of them. However, | thought they originated from West Virho. Does it mean they're also
being created overseas?”
