"Go to your room and play for a while.I'm getting a little tired, and I need to rest," Dominic said softly,

gently patting Galen.

Galen was very sensible.

Although he did not fully understand everything that had happened recently, he had become much

more obedient.

Moreover, his father had entrusted him before leaving, telling him to listen to Dominic and Austin.

Galen remembered it all.

"Okay.I won't disturb you then.If you miss me, just call me."

With that, Galen turned around, propping his chubby little arms on the bed, ready to climb down.

Austin immediately scooped the little one up and turned to leave the room.

When he reached Galen’s room, he set the little one down before bending and saying, "What do you

want to eat? I can order takeout for us.How about that?"

He thought Galen would happily agree.However, the little one shook his head.

"No, Daddy said I shouldn't trouble others unnecessarily. Grandpa is the most important right

now.Please take care of Grandpa, Uncle Austin!"

Although he sounded childish, his words were mature beyond his years.

Austin did not know what to say momentarily, feeling overwhelmed with emotions.He used to think

children were troublesome creatures who required constant care and caused endless worries.

However, after spending these past few days with Galen, he realized children, in many moments of

vulnerability, could heal one’s heart.

Galen was a delicate boy who possessed immense strength.

While most of the time, adults would think they were caring for their child, the child often tended to the

adults’ emotions.

"Okay.You're such a good boy."

Austin gently hugged Galen, feeling the tenderness of Galen's small body, which energized Austin.He

glanced at the red dots on Galen’s neck again.It was irregularly distributed, faint in appearance, and

resembled a birthmark but not quite the same.He remembered not noticing any such marks on Galen's

neck before.

It meant they appeared within these past few days, even though Austin could not pinpoint the exact

time.He had no idea what those marks were but felt it was related to the virus.

‘Galen is the only one in the estate who didn’t get infected.Oh, and Alexander.Still, Alexander arrived

late and was only here for two days, so his case didn’t provide much reference.Meanwhile, Galen has

been with us the entire time"He eats and lives with us, yet he remains healthy while everyone else here

is more or less infected"

Austin gently raised his head, anxious as he reached to touch Galen's forehead.

The little one’s temperature was average, even though he had a fever when Alexander came to pick

him up.

However, Galen was fine once his fever subsided.

‘We didn’t think much about it then, but was the fever a symptom of the infection, and Galen managed

to overcome it on his own?’ Austin could not understand it.Despite having treated many patients, he

had never faced such a situation.

There was no past medical history to reference, only his own gradual exploration.He got up and

returned to Dominic’s room, but as soon as he stepped through the door, he was shocked by what he

saw.

"Uncle Dom!"

Austin exclaimed, rushing to the older man’s bedside and looking at him hanging off the bed.

On the floor was a large puddle of blood.

Dominic lay there, gasping for air as fresh bloodstains were visible at the corners of his lips.It was

evident he had been coughing up blood after Austin and Galen left.It seemed to be severe.

Austin was distraught when he saw his granduncle in that horrific state.He naively believed Dominic

was gradually recovering and his condition was improving.

Little did Austin know Dominic was putting on an act and not getting better at all.
