The frown on Alexander's face deepened even more as he redialed the number and knocked on the door. It opened up just as he
was about to kick the door in. To his surprise, it was Austin who was at the door.
He opened the door and glanced at Alexander, standing just outside. He even looked past Alexander. Then, with a forced smile,
Austin said, "Wait here. I'll bring your son to you."
With that, he turned to close the door again.
However, Alexander was one step ahead as he stuck his foot through the door and asked, "What the hell is going on?!"
"I can't tell you right now." Austin did not want to elaborate as he tried to close the door again.
"Then I'll go in and wait until you can! Also, didn't you say your granduncle is sick? | should at least visit him," Alexander replied.

"You can't go in!" Austin quickly blocked Alexander as his face turned pale with fright.
He was cautious around Alexander and dared not use too much strength. Ultimately, Alexander's frightful force pushed Austin
aside. Austin’s actions annoyed Alexander, as he rushed in without a second thought.
Then Austin got up and hugged Alexander's leg. "I'm serious. You can't go in. You..." After a pause, he suddenly exclaimed, "There's
an infectious disease!"
Alexander did not expect to hear that. His footstep paused as he lowered his head to look at Austin in surprise.
Austin quickly took this chance to stand up and closed the door again.
He did not seem to be lying as he hastily and helplessly cried, "To be honest with you, an unknown infectious disease is circulating
in the house. Uncle Dom got infected and fell sick. Almost all the servants are down with it as well."
"Is Galen infected as well?!" Alexander asked nervously.
"Not yet," Austin quickly said.
Hearing this, Alexander immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's because he's not infected yet that | want you to bring him home. I'm afraid if he continues staying here..." After a pause,
Austin continued, "Besides, no one can tend to him right now, so..."
Alexander nodded. "I understand! I'll go in to pick him up."

However, Austin seemed a little hesitant. "You..."
"Don't worry. | have already taken protective measures." Alexander gestured to his mask, gloves, and disposable suit in his hand.
"Besides, if it's so contagious, | would have gotten infected after you've talked tofor so long. On top of that, hasn't Galen been
here for quite a while, and he's still all right?"
Austin thought about it and nodded. "You're right! But you must leave as soon as possible."
"Okay," Alexander responded. Then he turned around and ordered, "You guys can wait here."
Upon saying that, he walked in with Austin, closing the door behind him.
Alexander followed Austin in and asked, "What kind of infectious disease is it? How did it suddenly spread? How is your granduncle
doing right now?"
Suddenly, Austin halted with a troubled look. "It's all my fault!"
