Chapter 1666
Austin groggily opened his eyes, but his eyelids felt so heavy that he gradually closed them again.He did not know how much time
had passed, and it felt like a year later when he reopened his eyes.He saw a wooden roof instead of the unnerving white ceiling.He
then looked around him and saw a closet, desk, chair, the bed he was lying on, and the blanket...
Everything was not the cold and hard stuff he had before.
Almost subconsciously, he lifted his hand and slapped himself.
‘Ouch, that hurts!” However, he was glad he felt pain.
‘This isn’t a dream!” In other words, he finally escaped and no longer needed to suffer in that hellhole.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself?"
The voice was familiar and yet so strange.

It was wrinkled, impatient, yet kind.Tears welled up in Austin’s cycs as he got emotional.
"Granduncle..." He called out in his quavering voice, almost about to cry.
"Don’t you f*cking cry!" Dominic said impatiently, "You're a grownup, yet you cry so easily like a baby. Aren't you ashamed?"
Austin hurriedly wiped his tears and said, "I-l won't. | won't cry if you don’t let me! | won't..."
However, despite what he said, the more he tried to wipe his tears, the more he shed. His tears kept falling.
"You idi#t!"
Dominic chided him but put down the tray, walked over to take a packet of tissue paper, and threw it onto Austin.
"Don’t stain my blanket, okay?"
"Yes, yes."
Austin quickly took a tissue to dry his tears and sniffled hard, finally getting a grip on himself.He calmed himself and asked,
"Granduncle Dom, did you save me?"
He looked down at himself, surprised he had on a fresh set of clothes while the few wounds on him were dressed and bandaged.He

"I'm not that free, okay?"
Dominic set the tray on the desk, picked up a steaming bowl of herbal soup, and brought it over.
"Why the hell did you race your car till it flipped over? You might have died if my men hadn’t passed by and picked you up!"
Upset, he flopped down on the chair and crossed his legs.
"Race my car?"
Puzzled momentarily, Austin quickly realized that his car must have flipped over before Dominic's men found him and brought him
over.He initially thought the police would take him away.He did not expect to wake up at Dominic's pace.Still, Dominic liked to talk
tough.
‘He savedyet pretends not to care about me" Austin was overjoyed.
No matter what, it was not easy for him to make it out alive.
