Chapter 1448


    "And?"


    Dominic was startled as he tried to digest her words.


    At this time, Galen, who had been riding on Dominic''s shoulders, struggled to get off.


    The old man then slowly sat down on the chair next to him.


    Lily carried Galen off and noticed Dominic slumped onto the chair, obviously tired.


    "With that old back of yours, how are you so stubborn? Do you think you''re still young?"


    Lily couldn''t help but say.


    "Don''t look down on me.I''m a lot stronger than most youngsters nowadays!"


    He stretched his back to prove a point but screamed in pain.


    "Look at you!"


    Lily grumbled.


    With that, she pulled Galen into the room.


    "Hey! Where are you going? Are you going to leave me here alone? Hey! Do you even care about


    me?!"


    His cries attracted the servants, and they rushed over.


    "Sir, what''s wrong? Sir?"


    "Go! It''s none of your business!"


    He shooed them away impatiently.


    Then, unable to hold back his pain, he changed his mind.


    "Go and get me some ointment!"


    Just as the servant nodded, he saw that Lily had returned with a bottle of ointment in her hand.


    "Gosh, my apprentice knows me best!" Dominic eximed with a grin.


    "Didn''t you say you were strong?"


    Lily nced at him before opening up the ointment and putting it on his back.


    "Ouch, ouch! Take it easy!" The old man shook his head, drawing his breath.


    "Even the best fall down sometimes.Don''t hurt me anymore! By the way, what did you say about

    everything being too coincidental?"


    "Nothing."


    After being interrupted and walking back and forth, she had time to think things through and felt that


    she might have been too sensitive.


    "I''m a little sensitive because I''m in this field.It just happens that they are rted, so I thought it was all


    interconnected.Maybe it''s just a coincidence," she said as she continued to massage his back.


    Dominic thought about what she said.


    "Wait, wait, wait, what did you say? The more you talk, the more confused I am.Can you exin


    further?"


    He sat upright with his legs crossed and looked at her solemnly.It was rare for him to be interested in a


    topic.


    After closing the cap of the ointment, Lily sighed.


    "What I''m saying is, the experiments in theboratory, my friend''s inexplicable poisoning, and the


    gue in Burnwken, do you think they''re rted?"


    The old man fell silent.He put his hands on his knees, and with his crossed-legged stance, he looked


    like an old monk in meditation.His brows were knotted, and he fell into deep thought.


    A few minutester, he smacked his lips.


    "Are these things rted? "


    Lily nodded quietly.


    "Whatever.Maybe I''m just overthinking it."


    "That might not necessarily be the case.


    Sometimes, even overthinking may lead to a new idea.


    It might not be a big deal now, but who knows what it might lead to?"


    Dominic spoke in code.


    "Are these things rted? "
