Chapter 1415
"Nothing. Just... trying to follow the news,” Lily said blandly.
Having been disregarded by them, Austin finally found an opportunity to join in as he knew about the
matter.
'You’re worried about Alexander, aren't you? You don't need to!" Austin said, "Since he's my
granduncle's secret aapprentice, he should be able to deal with the pandemic. Even if he's not good
enough to solve it, he should have no problem keeping himself safe."
Since the duo did not deny it, Austin naturally thought they had acknowledged that he was right about
Alexander. He thought that since Alexander was Dominic's secret apprentice and had studied herbal
medicine for so long, dealing with the pandemic would not be a big problem.
However, he did not know that Lily was Dominic's secret apprentice, not Alexander, as he had
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtassumed.
Lily could not help but roll her eyes when she heard what Austin said. 'He’s such a dumb*ss for thinking
he's right all the time!’
She had no interest in replying to Austin and turned to Dominic, saying, "I heard the pandemic is not as
simple as the last ones. There seems to be a new type of virus.”
Dominic could guess that Lily was worried about her husband. "I saw some news, but the situation is
still unclear, and our country has tightened entry requirements for travelers from that country.
"However, Alex is no ordinary person and is unlikely to get exposed to the virus. Besides, he's a
grownup and not a child. He understands the situation better than us and would know how to protect
himself." Dominic was trying to put Lily's mind at ease but what he said was also true.
Austin felt utterly numbed. ‘Grandpa is so unfair! He's never spoken a nice word to me, but even if Lily
is the wife of his secret apprentice, he doesn't need to be so good to her, does he?'
"Granduncle, I think the rumors sound too incredible. A new type of virus we haven't seen before? Now
that technology and medicine are so advanced, what type of virus haven’t we encountered before?
"Even if we haven't, the experts could devise a countermeasure. Burnwken is backward and slow in
dealing with it, so the virus spreads quickly. We would've solved the problem if it had happened in our
country!"
After reading some of the news and following the reports, he thought the media had blown the whole
thing out of proportion and made it sound more dangerous than it was.
'I’ve studied herbal medicine for so long. I will never believe there’s any pandemic that could be so
scary.’
Dominic threw Austin a casual glimpse and said to Lily, "If you're too worried, ask him to come back
sooner. There are many opportunities to do business and earn money since Alex is still young. He
shouldn't be risking his life."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"He’s not there to make money. There’s an accident, and he went over to take care of it." Lily let out a
soft sigh and did not wish to elaborate on what happened at the branch there. "Do you have the latest
information on the virus? I’d like to take a look."
In other words, she wanted to study it to see if the problem was severe and if it was possible to develop
a cure soon.
Although that country was already researching the cure, its medical care was backward, and she felt
anxious seeing how they dealt with the pandemic. However, she could do nothing since it happened in
another country.
'You want to take a look at it? What for?" Feeling dismissed by the duo, Austin snorted despite himself.
"Why don't you let my granduncle and me-"
"Can't you shut the hell up?" Dominic suddenly flared up." No one will treat you as a fool if you finally
learn to keep quiet!"
Austin was flabbergasted.
