Chapter 1942

Helpless, Austin lowered his head and appeared particularly dejected.

'We must have confidence in the old man," Alexander comforted him after noticing his gloomy mood.

"We also need to have confidence in ourselves.”

’I’m not confident in myself.” However, Alexander’s words did not seem to have any effect.

Austin turned around and stood up, walking straight to the window. He looked downstairs. The initially

quiet manor looked even more lifeless now. He remembered a few days ago when he tossed around in

here.

He even dismantled the balcony and destroyed many things. Although Dominic scolded him, the older

man still cleaned up after his grandnephew and cared for him. Dominic did a lot for Austin, even if the

former would never admit it. He also taught Austin everything he should.

Austin used to think his second granduncle was biased. Later, Austin realized he was just

overconfident. He was not capable enough, and Dominic had long seen through him. Still, Dominic did

not openly target his grandnephew-instead, Austin was the one who always had his head in the clouds.

Now, when Dominic needed help most, Austin could do nothing. The latter even harmed Dominic

because of his own actions. With these thoughts in mind, Austin wished to jump out the window and

exchange his life for Dominic's.

However, Austin knew he could not. Although he would free himself from condemnation by jumping, he

wondered what would happen to his granduncle then.

‘What can Uncle Dorn do with such a mess? What about my parents, grandfather, and the others who

have gotten hurt because of my actions?'

Austin held the windowpane with both hands as he took a deep breath, forcing his tears back. He had

not cried since he was a child. However, it seemed like Austin had shed all the tears he had not shed

over these past few days.

'I can't continue living like this.'

Although Dominic told him not to move around, he could not just sit and wait for things to happen. He

knew he should consider the essential things and tend to the greenhouse. After all, the rare and exotic

plants needed his care.

These thoughts immediately triggered a spark in Austin as he turned to Alexander with a determined

expression. "You're right. We should be more confident in ourselves. They studied the virus, but so

what? I refuse to believe there's a virus in this world we can't overcome, especially artificial ones. Even

if it’s a symbiote, there must be a way to destroy it."

He slowly clenched his fingers as if he were talking to Alexander and himself. "We can’t admit defeat

and let them win. We will never lose to them!"

Alexander noticed Austin's determination and knew the latter had pulled himself together. Alexander

nodded lightly. "You're right. The word 'defeat' isn't in my dictionary."

The two men, who were mere acquaintances, reached a consensus. Regardless of whether one knew

any medical skills or if one was good at it, one must try their best to protect those one cared about.

Austin stood up straight and looked at Alexander. "By the way, what's happening on Lily's side?"

"Huh?”

'Sorry, it's just that I overheard you on the phone once. Isn't Lily in a dangerous situation now?"

Although Austin did not ask much, he had heard

a lot. In addition, Lily never showed up despite everything happening there. It meant she had more

important things to do.

Considering the current situation, nothing could be more important than the mysterious and evil

organization they had to destroy immediately.

Alexander did not mind that Austin had eavesdropped. It was not like Alexander did not know Austin

was around during the conversation. However, Alexander did not need to tell Austin what he and his

wife said on the phone.

'She's fine," Alexander answered after a moment of thought.
