Lahat ng Kabanata ng Spoiled by Mr. Russell: Kabanata 1881 - Kabanata 1890

Dominic shut his eyes and nodded slightly in agreement with Alexander while Austin remained quiet. However, guilt-ridden for having caused all this, he was anxious to find out what it was all about.“It’s not your fault.” Seemingly able to read his mind, Dominic raised his hand slightly and moved his fingers. “Go… fetch my silver needle.”Austin repeatedly nodded upon hearing his granduncle’s instruction. “Right away!”He was eager to do everything for his granduncle as long as the older man could get well.Dominic quietly gazed after Austin as he anxiously ran out of the room like a child, then turned to Alexander.Alexander knew the older man had something to say to him.“I…” Dominic then raised his arm.Alexander knowingly held the arm a bit higher and rolled up the older man’s sleeve. “I checked both your arms, and there’s nothing. The mark you showed me before has disappeared. I also checked Austin’s body; he doesn’t have it either. What the hell… was it?”He knew it was e

The secret organization originated overseas and always focused on viruses. After expanding into the country, it started researching herbs and poisonous plants. Therefore, Alexander wondered if people from West Virho were involved in this.“I have no idea,” Dominic shook his head and said, “But you’re right that there are ways to get rid of them.”“Yes.” After throwing up in the bathroom, Austin stuck his head out while palming his chest. “I read about it in the ancient text downstairs, but we first have to know what kind of symbiotes they are.”Probably revolted by the mention of “symbiotes,” he rushed back inside to continue throwing up. The other two were speechless. Dominic curled his lip but looked toward Alexander and nodded. “He’s right.”‘Looks like Austin hasn’t wasted time reading the books and has learned something after all. Perhaps I underestimated him.’“Then how do we determine what kind of symbiotes they are?” Alexander thought about it and asked, “Anything I can do

Stunned, Dominic frowned and pondered carefully. Then he slowly shook his head. “He hadn’t, I suppose.”The child was naughty, but Dominic cared for him well and would never let him do anything dangerous. He would even keep the kid away from things that could hurt him. Thinking back, he believed Galen did not expose himself to Austin’s blood, nor was there such a chance.Alexander heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that his son did not come into contact with Austin’s blood. However, he was puzzled by something and asked, “But… Galen has a fever.”“Fever?” Dominic was shocked. “What other symptoms does he have?”Leaning forward, he nearly sat up in alarm.Alexander noticed the older man’s anxiousness and tried to calm him down. “No, he has no other symptoms besides having a fever. He also has a good appetite and fell asleep after having some soup and biscuits. I took his temperature just now, and his fever has subsided.”Dominic was relieved to hear that Galen had no other symp

Alexander felt much more relieved after hearing Lily’s confident response, even if it was only meant to comfort him. He felt less anxious and chuckled before imitating her tone, saying, “I know my body well.”Lily was speechless.“How are you over there?” Alexander changed the subject.“Things are going well.” She loosened her hair and shook her head to stretch her neck. She palmed it, looked up, and glanced around before saying blandly, “I can return to you and Galen once I complete the task here. You guys… just be careful.”Alexander knew the organization monitored her, and it was sometimes inconvenient for her to talk, so he did not ask why she said that.“I’ll take care of things here, so don’t worry too much. If you experience discomfort, you must tell me, okay?” After a pause, he suddenly sounded much more relaxed. “But I think you’re not infected either.”Lily was surprised.“If you are, wouldn’t everyone there be infected as well? Since they’ve created it, they wouldn’t

Alexander immediately told his men to carry out his plan while Austin called his family.The latter did not mention the symbiote because it was hard to explain to his family, and he did not want to cause panic. All he said was that there was an unknown disease, and he asked them not to panic nor go anywhere but to recuperate at home as Dominic had started to develop a cure.He also told them Alexander’s men would deliver daily necessities to them and told them not to go to a hospital. Austin knew the hospitals could not deal with the symbiotes, and they might even spread the disease.After the duo settled some things, it was already dark outside. Alexander made a simple meal, and after feeding Galen, he held his son and sat on the balcony to look at the stars. It had been a while since Alexander sat and peacefully gazed at the starry sky.As they were in the suburbs and no buildings or light sources were around, the stars shone brightly in the clear night sky. The twinkling stars w
