Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1870-However, Dominic still looked meager and tired, and his voice
sounded softer.It was dry and hoarse.
Alexander would have missed it if not for his heightened hearing.He squatted beside the older man
again and inched closer to him.
“How’re you feeling?”
Dominic shook his head feebly before opening his mouth and choppily muttered, “Don’t…let…any…
out.”
Although he was not speaking in complete sentences, Alexander still understood his meaning.
“Is it very contagious?”
The older man nodded but did not answer.
“Will I be infected?”
Alexander wondered if he could escape this calamity.
After the last plague almost killed him, he did not think he would face another disaster.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDespite this, none of it mattered now.
If Galen had gotten infected, Alexander’s fear was redundant.
He must stay by his son’s side to accompany and care for him.
“Not…sure.”
The older man took a deep breath before raising his arms with great effort.
“Look!”
Before he could lift his arm to put it out of the tub, it dropped heavily into the water again.

Although Alexander could not catch what Dominic said this time, he guessed it was another string of
curses.
‘The old man’s temper is something else!’ “Damn it!”
Dominic snorted, not knowing whether he had lost his temper with himself or Alexander.

person would look, but that was not it.
Dominic’s arms were not bony, but the veins and blood vessels remained prominent.
Most importantly, the veins seemed to be throbbing.
However, the blood they pumped seemed abnormal.
A strange thought flashed through Alexander’s mind, enough to send chills down his spine.
“That “
The older man did not speak as he closed his eyes again.
It seemed like he had exhausted all his strength by putting his arm out.
He sat there, gasping for breath.
The smell of the medicinal herbs mixed with the water vapor as it transpired in the air.
With each breath, Dominic’s veins became more pronounced.
They even began to throb even faster.
“Throbbing…veins…”
