Chapter 1479
Quincy nodded. "Well, that's the best we can do for now."
Meanwhile, Dominic was upset after hanging up the phone, regretting making the call for nothing.
A short while later, Lily and Galen return, holding hands. Seeing the old man's furious look as she had
expected, she laughingly asked, "You still couldn't reach him?" "What kind of parents are they? Their
son hasn't returned home for days, yet they aren't worried. They're heartless like Austin's grandpa!"
Dominic thundered, attacking even his brother.
"Austin hasn't gone home for days?" Lily caught on to the critical point and could tell something was

"Yes." Dominic's mood only got better seeing Galen. Grinning, he crouched down and hugged Galen
lovingly.
"Aren't Austin's parents worried that he hasn't returned for a few days?" "Not even the slightest!"
Dominic pouted. "They say it happens all the time and should mind their business since Austin is a
grownup. Why should I be worried when his parents don’t even give a d*mn? I say to hell with him!”
'There's nothing to worry about since he's experimenting at the lab.'
However, Lily was puzzled. Indeed, things could get hectic at the laboratory. One might not even have
time to answer a call while focusing on work. Still, there was always time to check the phone whenever
one was on break or awaiting lab results.
'It's highly unusual for someone to switch off their phone, be absent from home, and not contact
anyone for days!’ "Try calling Austin's phone again," Lily said thoughtfully.
"No!" Dominic was having fun playing with Galen and said reluctantly, "Why don't you call him yourself
if you'd like to try?" "I don’t have his number!" Lily said matter-of-factly. "How about you give me your
phone, and I call him?"
She was telling the truth about not having Austin’s number. Since she and Austin were not on good
terms and could hardly see eye to eye, it was pointless for Lily to save his contact information.
Dominic mumbled and gave his phone to Lily, who found the number and made the call. As expected,

"That's weird!" She shook her head and asked, "So he switched it off when you called the last time?"
Perplexed, Dominic thought about it and said, "Yes! He hung up my call, then switched off his phone
when I called again." "That doesn't make sense. If Austin could turn off his phone, then he was using it.
Why wouldn't he say anything to you and simply switch it off? I think he's in danger." Lily was initially
doubtful, but she was certain after hearing what Dominic said.
"No way!" Dominic said so, but his voice dripped with suspicion. He also felt that something was up.
'Now that I think about it, the call got disconnected out of the blue. Did something happen to the little
p*ick? But what? Hasn't he been doing well? He has been close with the rich and powerful by using my
name and has spent his days at the lab lately. What could happen to him?'
Almost simultaneously, he and Lily looked at each other and said, 'The lab!"
