Lily nodded, agreeing with what Mike had said.
He did not understand initially, but after hearing what she said, he understood the situation better. After pondering for a moment,
Mike said, “I've got an idea.”
Lily looked curious.
“Can you guess what the ‘boss’ would feel when he finds out the organization has abandoned him?” His voice was soft, but there
was a hint of a smile on his lips which revealed his cunning nature.
However, Lily had to admit she had the sidea. She nodded. “Good thinking.”

Mike took a deep breath. “I'll go take care of it then. If there's anything, just look for me!”
Staying one day in Dominic's estate, Alexander felt tseemed to have slowed down as he had never been so free. Although he
still received many calls and had to use his laptop to work and participate in video conferences, his workload had decreased
considerably than before.
Dominic would sometimes wake up from his slumber and start nagging groggily before falling asleep again. After remaining in this
state for a day, he suddenly threw up mouthfuls of blood at midnight.
Austin hardly slept and stayed by the bed. He would rush over to treat Dominic whenever the older man’s symptoms worsened.
Otherwise, Austin would spend his tstudying ancient medical texts.
Meanwhile, Alexander tucked Galen in and saw the light seeping from the study diagonally across. He could not help but feel
sentimental. Alexander had grown accustomed to caring for many affairs independently and thought he could do anything.
However, he realized there were many other things he could not handle. At times like these, he would feel helpless despite himself.
Suddenly, he heard a thump. The noise startled Alexander because it was quiet at night. Hence, he subconsciously looked toward
his son.
Galen had opened his eyes, staring wide-eyed at his father blearily. He seemed to have jerked awake and did not know what had
happened.
Alexander gestured for him to be quiet by putting his finger to his lips before saying gently, “Daddy is going to take a look. Stay
here and don’t go anywhere, okay?”

Galen nodded, his tiny hands grasping the edge of his blanket.
Alexander immediately got up and headed out. He saw the door to the study was wide open and assumed Austin had rushed over
there. He knew Dominic would often wake up in agony in the past two days.
Alexander hurried to the older man’s bedroom door and was shocked by what he saw.
Dominic was half-lying and half-sitting on the bed with his head drooping forward, clearly not fully awake. Meanwhile, Austin sat
before the older man with one hand supporting him while the other...
“What the hell are you doing?!” Alexander was so horrified that he could not help but shout.
