Semua Bab Spoiled by Mr. Russell: Bab 1861 - Bab 1870

The air was silent. Not even the sound of footsteps echoed. However, Lily knew she was not hallucinating.She always had a sharp hearing and her senses as a kickboxer. Even if she were pregnant, she would not have auditory hallucinations. She briefly considered this before getting up and approaching the door. Then she asked again, "Who is it?"Again, silence met her. After sticking her head to the door panel, she finally decided to open the door and look outside. The corridor was empty, and no one was around. She poked her head out to look and even walked outside to ensure no one was hiding in the corner. Ultimately, she turned around and walked back into the room.Before re-entering the room, she raised her head and subconsciously glanced at the surveillance camera not far above. The whole place was under surveillance. Even if someone tried to hide from Lily, they could not avoid the “boss."Although she was suspicious, she still went back into the room. Just as she was about to c

The frown on Alexander's face deepened even more as he redialed the number and knocked on the door. It opened up just as he was about to kick the door in. To his surprise, it was Austin who was at the door.He opened the door and glanced at Alexander, standing just outside. He even looked past Alexander. Then, with a forced smile, Austin said, "Wait here. I'll bring your son to you."With that, he turned to close the door again.However, Alexander was one step ahead as he stuck his foot through the door and asked, "What the hell is going on?!""I can't tell you right now." Austin did not want to elaborate as he tried to close the door again."Then I'll go in and wait until you can! Also, didn't you say your granduncle is sick? I should at least visit him," Alexander replied. He had always been strong, so he shoved open the door."You can't go in!" Austin quickly blocked Alexander as his face turned pale with fright.He was cautious around Alexander and dared not use too much str

Alexander smiled. As long as the child was safe, everything would be okay. However, he suddenly seemed to remember something and removed his glove to touch his son's forehead, neck, and cheeks.Austin felt uneasiness wash over him when he saw that. He asked anxiously, "What's wrong?""He has a fever," Alexander turned and lightly answered. His voice sounded calm, but anyone could tell he was trying to suppress his emotions.Under normal circumstances, having a fever would be nothing unusual for a child. However, this was a dangerous time, and Galen had always been in good health. Even when the plague was raging, he did not fall sick. Yet, now, he had a fever.He was sick in a house that got infected with an unknown disease. Alexander could only think of the worst as his heart sank. He carried the child out sullenly."You…" Austin was stunned for a moment before quickly returning to his senses. He watched Alexander walk by him with the child in his arms and head downstairs."Are y

Galen's face was flushed as he lay there pitifully, no longer as agile as before. The sight of him angered Austin. In his moment of anger, he suddenly began slapping himself. "This is all my fault!"Alexander quickly stood up. "Don't be reckless. We don't even know what's going on yet. I'll go visit Dominic.""I'll accompany you!" Austin quickly responded. However, he immediately understood Alexander’s gaze toward Galen. "I'll stay and take care of the child.""Thank you." Alexander nodded, turned around, and walked toward the backyard.At this point, it did not matter whether or not Austin had close contact with the child. Besides, Austin showed no signs of sickness, so staying and caring for Galen was better.Alexander made a call as he walked toward the backyard. "Leave a few men here and call off the rest. Also, ensure those who leave stay home for three days and observe themselves if they have any symptoms.""Huh?" The assistant standing outside needed help understanding wha

However, Dominic still looked meager and tired, and his voice sounded softer. It was dry and hoarse. Alexander would have missed it if not for his heightened hearing. He squatted beside the older man again and inched closer to him. “How’re you feeling?”Dominic shook his head feebly before opening his mouth and choppily muttered, "Don't…let…any…out."Although he was not speaking in complete sentences, Alexander still understood his meaning."Is it very contagious?"The older man nodded but did not answer."Will I be infected?" Alexander wondered if he could escape this calamity. After the last plague almost killed him, he did not think he would face another disaster. Despite this, none of it mattered now.If Galen had gotten infected, Alexander's fear was redundant. He must stay by his son's side to accompany and care for him."Not…sure." The older man took a deep breath before raising his arms with great effort. "Look!"Before he could lift his arm to put it out of the tub, it
