His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 2017

“| was taking notes,” Austin answered again patiently. He saw Dominic’s puzzled look, then fetched his notebook and showed it to

him.

Dominic stretched but was too weak to hold the notebook, so Austin crouched by the bed and held the notebook for him. He said,

“I'll hold it for you.”

The older man narrowed his eyes and started to read. Austin had filled the book densely with neat handwriting. His notes were

detailed, too. He included dates, wrist pulse results, analysis, pathological speculations, and thoughts about various possibilities.

He also marked personal speculations as references only.

Dominic was surprised by what his grandnephew wrote.

As he read on, Austin explained, “I took your pulse once every two hours for the past two days and then jotted down my notes. |

know the pulse doesn’t change much over a short period, but | wanted to see the difference.

“After all, the virus is unlike any we've encountered before. Since | have nothing else to do here and can’t help much, | thought it

was better to do anything | could since | might be able to notice something we might've missed.

“You must think it's foolish of me,” Austin sounded helpless. He desperately wanted to do something to save his granduncle and

his family, but he did not know how to eliminate the virus.

Dominic shook his head, looking somewhat pleased. “No, you did very well.”

“Huh?” Austin was surprised.

‘This is the first tUncle Dom has ever complimented me!’

He had always considered himself a genius, and Dominic was just biased against him due to what happened years ago. However,

Austin had learned over the past two years that he had minimal knowledge.

He also realized Lily was far better than him and that his ego caused the calamity. He wanted to fix things, but there was nothing

much he could do. That was why he gave his best to do whatever he could now.

Still, he never expected Dominic to compliment him instead of resorting to mockery.

Austin got emotional and even wanted to cry. “You're... commending me?”

“Why? Would you rather | give you an earful?” Dominic glared at Austin and snorted.

“No, no, no! | just never thought you would praise me,” Austin quickly explained. He tried to grin but could not. After all, Dominic

was unwell, and the situation was still severe.

Austin had no reason to smile.

“Well, you have shown improvement.” Dominic sighed gently and softened his tone. “You used to be impulsive and impatient.”

Austin nodded. “Yes, you're right. | reflected on what you said during this period and realized | was wrong.”

“Well, it's a common problem among you young people.” After a pause, Dominic smiled and added, “But you also have the drive

and enthusiasm of a young man. Although your methods are stupid sometimes, you're doing a good job, okay?”
