Austin glanced at her but said nothing. He had no energy.
"Shall I continue?" She asked.
"It's up to you." It was rare to hear such words from his mouth.
In the past, he had always doubted Lily. Even when he was starting to see her capabilities, he still found ways to argue with her. That was his only way to show his knowledge and abilities.
When his life was at stake, his doubts about her disappeared. He had seen what Lily was capable of, so Austin decided to follow his gut and trust her.
Lily pursed her lips, put on her mask, and went to get the needles.
Dominic had brought a fogging machine and began to disinfect the room. No one spoke. The only sound in the room was the spraying of the disinfectant.
Austin found this a little strange. He was poisoned, not infected with the virus. Why was Dominic disinfecting the room? However, at this moment, Austin did not want to ask any more questions, so he closed his eyes again.
The warmth in his body gradually faded away. The cough had consumed much of his physical strength, and he was weak now. Austin drifted off to sleep as he lay there.
After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes and found Lily gone. Instead, it was only Dominic sitting beside him, reading a book. He wore his reading glasses and slightly squinted as he read solemnly.
