After Alexander left, Dominic played with Galen for a while before the little boy started to feel sleepy. Dominic brought Galen into the room and watched the child sleep with a faint sigh.
Dominic had always known that Lily was talented and intelligent from the beginning. He had imparted all his knowledge to her without reservation because of that. However, she was now in danger because of how much she knew.
Dominic wondered whether or not what he did was right.
After tucking Galen in, he turned to leave, only to find a servant at the door. "Sir, Young Master Austin asked if it’s done."
"What does he mean if it's done?" Dominic frowned. Before the servant could answer, he immediately exclaimed in realization, "Sh*t! I forgot about him!"
With that, he ran downstairs and headed straight to the backyard. Austin was still lying shirtless with silver needles stuck in his back.
Although his body was getting cold, he dared not get up.
‘What’s taking Uncle Dom so long? Did he forget about me? That can't be. He's halfway through with his acupuncture. But it's just Lily, so what are they talking about that takes so long?'
After thinking about it, Austin fell asleep without knowing. When he woke up, he saw that no one was around. He started to feel that something was wrong and yelled for a servant to check. Austin never expected his granduncle to forget about him completely.
Guilt flashed across Dominic’s face when he saw Austin. Still, he stubbornly refused to admit it as he coughed lightly before grumbling, “What's the hurry? Are you in a rush? I'm trying to test you! I want to see how long your body can stay like this!
“It seems like your recovery is going well, and the poison in your body is almost gone. You've stayed still for a long time and haven’t had a seizure."
