His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1898

"He's a friend." After a pause, Alexander continued, "I'll hang up first and call you again when I need your help."

"About the doctor…"

"It's okay for now," Alexander said after some thought. Then he put away his phone, walked toward Austin, and asked, “Why not?”

"The doctors out there are useless. This isn't a common disease. You know that!" Austin replied in a deep voice.

Alexander nodded. "I know, but right now, there's no better option. The old man is down with a high fever, and none of the servants’ conditions are improving. We can't keep going like this. Maybe a doctor outside can help relieve…"

"I'm a doctor!" Austin exclaimed.

Alexander immediately fell silent.

“I started as a doctor. As you know, I studied under many famous doctors,” Austin emphasized again. The tone he spoke in was very different from usual.

He used to be proud, confident, and even slightly arrogant when he spoke about this. However, his voice was gentle yet heavy this time. His gaze was firm, and each word he said was meant to affirm Alexander.

"I've been too decadent these days. After coming out of the devil's lair, I've been running away like a coward. I've just been indulging in the care Uncle Dom had been giving me, alongside everyone's concern for me. When Uncle Dom and everyone else fell ill, I felt like I'd lost myself and completely forgot I was a doctor.

“I've been drowning myself in self-doubt and self-denial. I don't believe I can do it. I don't believe I can cure them, either. I don't know anything, nor do I understand anything. Because of all this, I forgot what Uncle Dom told me.
