“Uncle Dom, that's not what we mean." Elijah began to panic as well. "Please. Please save Austin. I'll do anything!"
"Hmph!" Dominic shot a glance at him before walking toward Austin. Michelle was about to speak when she saw Dominic tie Austin up again and pull a blanket over him.
"You've seen him. You can decide whether you want to take him away or leave him here," Dominic turned around and said.
"That goes without saying! He's staying here, of course!" Elijah did not hesitate. "Only you can save him. You must!"
Daniel also chimed in with a trembling voice, "Yes. No matter what happened in the past, Austin has always been dutiful to you. Oh, my child, you must’ve suffered!"
Daniel raised his hand and wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes.
Dominic turned to look at Austin. "What do you say?"
"I'll follow whatever you think is best, Uncle Dom. I'll do anything you say!" Austin gritted his teeth as delicate beads of sweat appeared on his face.
Michelle was distressed by the sight of her son, but she could do nothing. She could not help him and could only watch helplessly.
"All right. I hear you!" Dominic said in a deep voice. "Then let me put it out there first. I can't guarantee I can treat him, and I can't guarantee he won't die under my care. If anything happens, you can't blame me."
