Stunned, Dominic frowned and pondered carefully. Then he slowly shook his head. “He hadn’t, I suppose.”
The child was naughty, but Dominic cared for him well and would never let him do anything dangerous. He would even keep the kid away from things that could hurt him. Thinking back, he believed Galen did not expose himself to Austin’s blood, nor was there such a chance.
Alexander heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that his son did not come into contact with Austin’s blood. However, he was puzzled by something and asked, “But… Galen has a fever.”
“Fever?” Dominic was shocked. “What other symptoms does he have?”
Leaning forward, he nearly sat up in alarm.
Alexander noticed the older man’s anxiousness and tried to calm him down. “No, he has no other symptoms besides having a fever. He also has a good appetite and fell asleep after having some soup and biscuits. I took his temperature just now, and his fever has subsided.”
Dominic was relieved to hear that Galen had no other symptoms. “That’s good to hear.”
“So, Galen is not infected, right?” Alexander asked tentatively. He earnestly hoped so, but he could not be sure.
“No, I’m sure he’s not,” Dominic muttered, shaking his head. He wished and prayed the boy was not. Still, no one could be certain about this.
“I’m calling my parents,” Austin said, taking his phone and leaving the room.
Alexander looked toward Dominic. “Were you trying to draw out the symbiotes by taking the herbal bath?”
