His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 2019

After a while, Dominic casually said, “Did you notice a pattern with the virus?”

“It's active during the day and dormant at night?” Austin thought for a moment and answered.

The older man nodded approvingly. “Most viruses are active at night, but this one is most active during the day. That's why | slept

well at night while suffering various discomforts during the day.”

Austin patted himself. After all, he had also monitored his condition over the past two days. “This could be one of the traits the

organization developed during the research. Still, | don’t understand how the transmission works. How cAlex, Galen, and | are

okay?”

Even so, his pulse had always been average and steady.

“Let's say I'm immune to the virus because I'm the source—what about Alex and Galen? It doesn’t make sense,” he quickly added

after a momentary pause, “Of course, I'm happy they're okay. I'm just curious why.”

Dominic was curious about it as well.

‘If it’s not contagious, how cthe servants and Austin’s parents caught it? If it's contagious, it's a miracle Alex and Galen are

fine.’

“| believe we'll find out soon. Although the virus is tough to crack, it's not too deadly.”

The older man took a deep breath, then shut Austin up with a look. “Of course, we don’t know its long-term impacts on human

bodies, but we know it won't instantly kill us, at least for now.

“Still, it's very harmful,” Austin said, concerned.

“It is.” Dominic nodded. “But look at me. Although I'm old and have suffered a lot, I'm still alive!”

He sounded somewhat proud as he continued, “The virus couldn't even beat me, so it's not that deadly, okay?”

Austin was amused. Simultaneously, he was glad his granduncle was in high spirits. After all, they only stood a chance to fight the

virus when their will remained strong.

“You're right.” He nodded. “Very soon, we'll be able to counter it!”

Dominic said, “The best tto do it is at night.”

Surprised, Austin quickly caught on. “I'll get ready. Let's deal with the virus tonight. Wait, am | good enough for acupuncture?”

He could not help but hesitate. He knew Dominic wanted him to perform the treatment, but he had never done it despite seeing

others perform it often. Besides, he had no precedents to refer to and had to rely on his experience. He worried about making

mistakes.

“You have to ask yourself that question!” Dominic smiled.

The smile encouraged Austin.

‘He's right. If a physician doesn’t believe in themself, how can they make a patient trust them?’

He nodded vigorously. “Yes, | am good enough. Leave it to me!”
