His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 2018

Dominic tapped on the notebook. “Even if the interval is short, the information can be helpful. See? The wrist pulse records might not have changed much, but there are differences. The morning, afternoon, and evening periods show evident fluctuations here and here. Oh?”

He sounded astonished at the last part as if he had made an extraordinary discovery.

“What’s the matter?” Austin asked eagerly.

Dominic narrowed his eyes, then waved. “Get me my glasses.”

He was far-sighted. Although he had a pair of reading glasses, he seldom wore them because he did not want to admit he was old. Furthermore, he usually did not need them while preparing medicine or gardening.

Austin was surprised he wanted to wear them and quickly fetched the glasses. Dominic put them on and carefully reread each line.

Curious, Austin leaned closer to see what he was reading. However, he saw nothing unusual since these were his notes.

“How come?” Dominic cocked his head and became thoughtful.

Although curious, Austin did not interrupt his granduncle. He knew the older man needed time to consider his discovery, whatever it was. After a while, Dominic lay back down and stared at the ceiling.

Seeing him so, Austin straightened up and stood aside in silence. Then he picked up his notebook and went through his notes.

‘Although the pulse records didn’t change much, there are variations. From the viewpoint of herbal medicine, Uncle Dom’s vitality has suffered due to damage to different organs. Does that mean the virus attacked different organs at different times?’

Austin felt that was what caught Dominic’s attention.

“Uncle Dom…” After a while, he saw Dominic close his eyes and ask tentatively, “Do the variations at different periods reflect the changes in the virus’s activities?”

Dominic slowly opened his eyes, turned to look at his grandnephew, then nodded.

Austin was thrilled. It meant that he had correctly guessed that Dominic shared a similar thought. Austin had always doubted himself, thinking he was incompetent. He felt ashamed because he could do nothing despite people calling him a miracle doctor for so long.

That was why he resorted to taking down notes, hoping to be of help to Dominic. His seemingly stupid method did prove helpful now.
