Chapter 1866


    Alexander smiled. As long as the child was safe, everything would be okay. However, he suddenly


    seemed to remember something and removed his glove to touch his son''s forehead, neck, and cheeks.


    Austin felt uneasiness wash over him when he saw that. He asked anxiously, "What''s wrong?"


    "He has a fever," Alexander turned and lightly answered. His voice sounded calm, but anyone could tell


    he was trying to suppress his emotions.


    Under normal circumstances, having a fever would be nothing unusual for a child. However, this was a


    dangerous time, and Galen had always been in good health. Even when the gue was raging, he did


    not fall sick. Yet, now, he had a fever.


    He was sick in a house that got infected with an unknown disease. Alexander could only think of the


    worst as his heart sank. He carried the child out sullenly.


    "You…" Austin was stunned for a moment before quickly returning to his senses. He watched


    Alexander walk by him with the child in his arms and head downstairs.


    "Are you taking the child away?" Austin chased after them and asked, "If he''s…"


    Initially, he wanted Alexander to pick Galen up to prevent him from getting infected. Now that the child


    had a fever, it might be possible that the child had already gotten infected.


    Without saying a word, Alexander walked downstairs and carefully ced Galen on the sofa. Then he


    went to look for a towel before wetting it and wringing it dry before cing it on Galen''s forehead.


    He had already removed his other glove and protective suit as he did all this.


    "You…" Austin was shocked by what he saw. "Have you lost your mind?!"


    Alexander knew this pce was tainted with an infectious virus, and instead of leaving immediately, he


    removed all his protective gear.


    ‘Is he trying to get infected as well?!’


    "I''m fine," Alexander replied without raising his eyes. He intently stared at his son''s face and asked, "Do


    you have a thermometer?"


    "Yes, we do!" Austin nodded repeatedly. A few thermometers were in conspicuous ces here, as


    everyone needed them recently. Austin took it and handed it to Alexander, who asked, "Is it mercury?"


    "Uh…" Austin did not understand his question.


    Since he could not answer, Alexander took the thermometer from him and stuffed it under the child''s


    armpit. Only then did Austin realize that they probably used digital thermometers at home.


    However, this was Dominic''s house. It was typical of him to have traditional equipment.


    Once Alexander was done with Galen, he finally looked up at Austin. "Galen is sick, so I''ll stay here


    with him."


    "Huh?" This sudden change of ns sent Austin into a daze. "What do you mean?"


    "The child is sick, and I''m unsure if he''s infected. I can''t take him away, or it might spread. On top of


    that…" Alexander paused before continuing, "I can''t leave either. I must stay and take care of him.


    Plus, I''ve been in contact with both him and you. If it is contagious, it is best if I stay and observe

    myself for the next two days.”


    Although Alexander was not well versed in diseases, what he had experienced before gave him a


    better understanding of how to deal with contagious diseases.


    "Where''s your granduncle?" He asked.
