Chapter 1479 Quincy nodded.
"Well, thatâs the best we can do for now."
Meanwhile, Dominic was upset after hanging up the phone, regretting making the call for nothing.
A short while later, Lily and Galen return, holding hands.
Seeing the old manâs furious look as she had expected, she laughingly asked, "You still couldnât reach him?"
"What kind of parents are they? Their son hasnât returned home for days, yet they arenât worried.Theyâre heartless like Austinâs grandpa!"
Dominic thundered, attacking even his brother.
"Austin hasn't gone home for days?"
Lily caught on to the critical point and could tell something was wrong.
"Yes."
Dominicâs mood only got better seeing Galen.
Grinning, he crouched down and hugged Galen lovingly.
"Arenât Austinâs parents worried that he hasnât returned for a few days?"
"Not even the slightest!"
Dominic pouted.
"They say it happens all the time and should mind their business since Austin is a grownup.Why should I be worried when his parents donât even give ad*mn? I say to hell with him!"
âThereâs nothing to worry about since heâs experimenting at the lab."
However, Lily was puzzled.
Indeed, things could get hectic at the laboratory.
One might not even have time to answer a call while focusing on work.
Still, there was always time to check the phone whenever one was on break or awaiting lab results.
âItâs highly unusual for someone to switch off their phone, be absent from home, and not contact anyone for days!â "Try calling Austinâs phone again,"
Lily said thoughtfully.
"No!"
Dominic was having fun playing with Galen and said reluctantly, "Why donât you call him yourself if you'd like to try?"
"I donât have his number!" Lily said matter-of-factly.
"How about you give me your phone, and I call him?"
She was telling the truth about not having Austinâs number.
Since she and Austin were not on good terms and could hardly see eye to eye, it was pointless for Lily to save his contact information.
Dominic mumbled and gave his phone to Lily, who found the number and made the call.
As expected, an automated voice said that the phone was off.
"That's weird!"
She shook her head and asked, "So he switched it off when you called the last time?"
Perplexed, Dominic thought about it and said, "Yes! He hung up my call, then switched off his phone when I called again."
"That doesnât make sense.If Austin could turn off his phone, then he was using it.Why wouldnât he say anything to you and simply switch it off? I think heâs in danger."
Lily was initially doubtful, but she was certain after hearing what Dominic said.
"No way!"
Dominic said so, but his voice dripped with suspicion.
He also felt that something was up.
âNow that I think about it, the call got disconnected out of the blue.
Did something happen to the little p*ick? But what? Hasnât he been doing well? He has been close with the rich and powerful by using my name and has spent his days at the lab lately.
What could happen to him?â Almost simultaneously, he and Lily looked at each other and said, "The lab!"
