His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1865

"The virus from my body infected them." Austin lowered his head, seeming to blame himself.

It was a severe issue, so Alexander urged, "Talk while we walk!"

He could not help but quicken his pace when he thought about his son. As expected, the two did not meet any servants on the way. The whole house seemed abandoned. Even the air seemed suffocating with a sense of uneasiness.

Alexander observed the surroundings as they walked. The plants looked wilted, probably due to the lack of care, while the house was stuffy and humid.

Alexander wore a simple protective suit but could still feel the heat. Even with the mask, he could vaguely smell the scent of the medicinal herb in the air.

Although Dominic's place had always smelled of medicinal herbs, it was not as potent.

"Where's Galen?" Alexander looked around and asked when he did not see his son.

Austin pointed upstairs and replied, "I left him in the playroom, which is the safest area now. I disinfect it at the door daily, and his meals are prepared with as little contact as possible. He has been very obedient, but…"

He paused and turned to look at Alexander. "I'm afraid if he stays here any longer, he’ll also get infected."

Alexander frowned. "When did you discover this infectious disease?"

"Three days ago," Austin quickly answered.

"Three days ago?"

‘Does that mean it began spreading a few days after I left? That doesn’t sound right since Austin says he’s the cause of it. The disease must’ve already been around long ago.’
