The little guy squinted, and his expression was surprisingly similar to his father's. "Daddy, are you leaving me too?"
"Ahem!" Alexander cleared his throat, a little embarrassed that his son called him out like that. He clenched his fist and coughed several times to cover up his embarrassment. "I'm not leaving you. I just…"
"Go!" The little boy waved and lowered his head to continue building his Lego. "I’ll be good!"
Just a few simple words were enough for Alexander to swallow back his words. He looked at his son and felt a rush of emotions. He even felt a little guilty.
Recently, he had been around Galen less than he wanted to. On top of that, the fact that Lily had to inform him about Daisy meant that he had exposed his son to potential dangers. He felt indebted to Galen.

"Galen, Mommy and Daddy will play with you the whole day when we finish work, okay?" Alexander raised his hand and gently rubbed the top of his son's head as he spoke.
"Okay!" Galen's crisp voice comforted Alexander. The boy’s father smiled, feeling more at ease.

Once Austin regained his physical strength, he was not as cooperative as he used to be. He would always wiggle around whenever Dominic tried to poke him. At this point, Dominic was on the edge of killing the young man.
