Alexander’s return was supposed to be good news, but Lily did not look relaxed and became gloomier instead. That would only mean that something was up.
‘He might’ve gotten infected with the disease. I’ve yet to see him and am unsure of his situation.’ Lily picked up the teacup and took a sip to calm herself.
“The disease?” Dominic’s hand paused as he lifted the teapot. He knitted his brow. “He’s back? I mean, he’s home?”
“No.” Lily shook her head and continued, “He also knows it’s serious and naturally wouldn’t return or meet me for Galen’s and my sake. He’s not even in Kingsland. I suppose he’s recuperating in a relatively remote area.”
“Oh.” Letting out a sigh of relief, Dominic put down his teapot and sat before her. “What’s your plan?”
“I’m going to meet him.”
Dominic frowned. “Are you out of your mind?!”
“I’d like to know what the disease is all about,” Lily said seriously.
“Every country is studying it. There’s no need for you to meddle in this.” Dominic reasoned objectively. “There are many precedents of pandemics, so you should know how huge the impact could be.
“Even though the medical field is very advanced, no one knows how it began, and it’s spreading fast. With you being pregnant, he’s right not to see you!”
“I know he’s right, but at the same time, I feel there’s nothing wrong with going to see him.”
