Alexander's eyes widened. Something was moving in Dominic's veins, wriggling as it moved along. It was not a hallucination, as
something was squirming in the older man’s veins.
The hairs on Alexander's skin stood at the sight of this despite everything he had been through. "Old man, that’s..."
If Dominic had not warned Alexander from touching him before this, he would have rushed forward to hold Dominic's arm.
"Symbiote!" Dominic slowly uttered the word and took another long breath. Then he glanced at his arm as if nothing was out of
place and put it back into the water again. His arm plopped heavily into the water once again, making a splash. This time,
Alexander was ready and leaned back.
"Three hours...later...get Austin...that bastard...helpup!" With that, Dominic fell silent again.

Alexander, too, did not speak. He knew the older man must have exhausted all his strength at this moment. Although he seemed
to have passed out, it was nothing severe.
After taking a deep breath, Alexander turned and left. When he arrived at the main house's living room, he saw Austin carefully
changing the towel on Galen's forehead.
Still, Austin’s actions were a little clumsy. Although he tried to fold the towel carefully, it was still messy. When he laid the towel on
Galen's tiny head, it also covered Galen's eyes. Austin probably felt it was wrong and tried to adjust the towel before it slipped from
Galen's head.
"I'll do it," Alexander said, walking over to take the towel from Austin. Alexander reached out to touch his son's forehead. It felt
cooler than before, but he could not tell if it was because of the towel.
However, after seeing the weird thing he had just seen in Dominic, he could no longer be relaxed. After all, it was not a common
infectious disease nor an ordinary fever.
‘The old man said, "Symbiote." What's a symbiote?’
Alexander had seen it on TV, read about it in books, and even heard rumors about it, but this was the first the saw it with his
own eyes.
‘Someone said that West Virho was the first state that invented symbiotes. Symtoxins. Symtoxins and symbiotes seemed to be
related. Do symbiotes release Symtoxins? However, shouldn't it be a laboratory virus if Austin was the source? How is it related to
Symtoxins?’
Everything was getting more and more entangled. Alexander sullenly put a towel on the child and turned around to look at Austin.

He was about to mention symbiote but stopped himself. He did not know how much Austin knew.
"lI don't." Austin shook his head with a frown. "I don't even know what virus is in my body. All | know is that this is all my fault. Uncle
Dom wouldn't have gotten infected if he hadn't saved me.
I've considered it countless times over the past two days, and it must've cfrom that Mike Corden guy. He did this on purpose!
That must be why he so kindly helpedescape! He's usingto hurt people. He deliberately let Uncle Dom findso | could
spread the virus to him!"
The more he talked, the more riled up he became. "Those demons!" Austin clenched his fist and pounded heavily on the sofa
beside him.
He thought about how things happened over the past two days, from when he fell into the trap and got held hostage and tortured
to when he got rescued and gradually recovered. Everything seemed to have gone too smoothly.
