"What are you looking at?" Austin felt himself getting scrutinized and thought for a moment before turning his head to look at the pot in the sink. "I honestly didn't know there was soup in it. I promise I haven't given your son anything from the pot in the past two days."
After a pause, seeing that Alexander was silent, Austin guiltily added, "I admit, I did give him instant noodles."
However, instant noodles were not a big deal. Austin had eaten them before and did not see any severe harm.
‘Besides, I wasn’t feeding Galen instant noodles every day. We just have no choice right now!’
Alexander ignored Austin's explanation and suddenly walked forward to grab Austin's arms and lift them.
Austin panicked. "What are you doing?! You…"
Alexander pulled up Austin's sleeve, revealing more than half his arm.
"Huh?" Austin was startled, still not understanding Alexander's motive.
Austin's arms were snow-white, whiter than most women’s.
Unlike the previous muscle swelling, it looked like there was no muscle at all. Austin’s arms were thin and long, almost too thin. If Alexander had not seen them with his own eyes a few days ago, he would have doubted whether they were the same person.
Alexander turned Austin's arms around to check it carefully, but there were no marks like Dominic's arm. Austin's arms were clean, and the blood vessels under his skin were faintly visible, nothing unusual.
"I'm fine. The toxins have been drained," Austin said. He relaxed after realizing that Alexander was probably checking his body. "I also checked my pulse, and it's completely normal. I have no idea why Uncle Dom and the servants just…"
Alexander would not know if he did not have the answer.
