Galen was in stable condition. His fever had subdued, and there was nothing much different about the little boy.
Alexander did not bring up the matter of the symbiote with Austin as he was still puzzled about it too. Moreover, Dominic might bring it up once he regained consciousness later, so Alexander was in no rush.
He carried Galen back into the room and placed him on the bed. Then he removed Galen’s clothes before wrapping him up in a blanket. He lifted Galen’s sleeve subtly to check on his arms carefully. Then he also checked on Galen’s chest, back, and private parts. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he saw nothing like what Dominic had on his arm anywhere on Galen. He hoped Dominic was a special case and that nothing would happen to Galen. Even so, Alexander still felt uncomfortable about it.
Recently, he only had little time to spend with Galen. He had placed Galen here under Dominic’s care for his safety, but he did not expect accidents to happen here too. If something worse had happened to Galen, Alexander did not know if he could bear it.
At this moment, he finally understood what Mike meant when he said he could do anything for his son. No one could understand another person’s feelings unless they had the same situation before. Alexander was willing to use his life in exchange for Galen’s safety and health forever.
He held Galen’s tiny hand, hoping his son would recover sooner. He hoped Galen was only having an ordinary fever and not anything caused by a virus, a symbiote, or anything out of this world.
A while later, Alexander put Galen’s hand back under the blanket and used the back of his hand to feel the warmth on Galen’s forehead. It felt normal, so he finally left and headed to the balcony.
Before this, Austin destroyed the balcony of one of the rooms when he was infected, which Dominic later got someone to repair. The balcony was an enclosed area now, so even while standing at the balcony, Alexander could feel no breeze.
One could feel the warmth from the other side of the glass when the sun shone brightly. However, it was an overcast day, and thick, dark clouds filled the sky, making anyone feel gloomy.
