Chapter 1883
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
Austin stood in shock at the doorway as what he held fell to the floor with a clang.
As he always took his time when asked to do things, Dominic was surprised that his grandnephew was back so soon.
Worse, he seemed to have overheard their conversation.
"Uncle Dom, Iâm...the mother?"
His voice sounded odd.
It was hard for him to accept this.
Although Austin always suspected he was the source and the cause of what had happened, he found it hard to accept what he had just heard.
Even the word "mother" sounded bizarre to him.
Dominic coughed and explained, "Not you, but the thing inside you."
However, the older manâs brief clarification only bewildered Austin further.
"Inside me..."
Austin looked down at his body but could not see anything with his clothes on.He quickly unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his skinny body.His previously lean and clear- defined muscle groups were no longer visible.
Dominic saw what his grandnephew was doing and coughed before sighing.
"You wonât be able to see it.Cover yourself up!"
"So youâre saying thereâs something inside me? But you said you eliminated the toxin, and Iâm fine.How can I..."
It was a massive blow to Austin.He always thought he had recovered, and his formidable granduncle had found a way to counteract the "virus."
However, he had caused his granduncle and the older manâs servants to fall sick.
Not only that, but Austin had yet to recover fully.
âOnly God knows whatâs still hiding inside my body.I can also infect other people at any time.Iâm like a ticking time bomb, bringing danger to people around me, and I...have no idea when itâll attack me"
Besides fear, Ausint felt somewhat sick to his stomach.He covered his mouth and turned to run into the bathroom.
Alexander and Dominic exchanged helpless expressions when hearing Austin throwing up.
One of the reasons Dominic did not want to tell his grandnephew about this was so he would not be overly stressed.
It would be easier for Austin if he did not know anything afterward.
However, Dominic could no longer hide it from Austin as he had overheard the duoâs conversation.
"Then...is there a solution to this?"
Alexander turned his head back and asked solemnly.
Although the whole thing sounded creepy and bizarre, being someone who had been around, he knew he must not panic as the most important thing was to come up with a solution.
âSince it already happened, thereâs no point in panicking.What matters now is to think of a way to solve the problem"
Dominic did not answer him and sighed instead.
Meanwhile, Alexander wondered if the older man had no solution or was simply too tired and needed to rest.
After some thought, Alexander continued, "I remember reading about venomous symbiotes in some novels, which claim people create them and there are ways to get rid of them.However, I thought they originated from West Virho.Does it mean theyâre also being created overseas?"
