Chapter 1877


    Alexander was relieved when he noticed Galen had stopped crying. He touched his son’s forehead and


    found it no longer hot. Then he got up and retook Galen’s temperature before asking, “Do you feel


    ufortable anywhere?”


    Galen shook his head lightly and said softly, "I''m a little hungry."


    "I''ll get you something to eat." Alexanderughed. It was music to his ears that Galen felt hungry. After


    all, being hungry and having an appetite would help to replenish his energy.


    After waiting a few minutes, Alexander saw that the temperature on the thermometer was normal. It


    seemed like Galen was stable for now. "Lie here while I get you something to eat. You can''t get out of


    bed and run around, okay?"


    Galen nodded obediently. "Can I visit Grandpa?"


    Alexander wagged his index at Galen and said, "No, Grandpa is sick and needs to rest. You can see


    him when he feels better, okay?"


    With the older man''s situation still unknown, it was unclear how contagious the disease was. It was


    better to minimize contact as much as possible.


    "Oh." Despite being sensible, the kid still felt a little disappointed.


    After that, Alexander got up to leave the room and headed downstairs. There, Austin was sitting before


    a pile of medical books. There were even some on the floor. He buried his head in the books as he


    solemnly flipped through the pages.


    However, he also seemed a little clueless, like someone without direction.


    "Is there food in the kitchen?" Alexander paused and asked.


    His very ordinary sentence seemed to bring Austin back to reality. Austin straightened up abruptly and


    turned to look straight at Alexander but did not say a word. Austin looked like he had lost his mind.


    Alexander saw this and knew Austin probably did not understand what he asked. Ultimately, Alexander


    shrugged and headed off to the kitchen.


    "Oh…eat…food... Yes, yes…" Austin''s brain seemed to clear up before he nodded repeatedly and


    hurriedly got up to help.


    However, his legs had gotten numb from sitting too long. His knees buckled as soon as he stood up,


    and he plopped down again. By then, Alexander had already entered the kitchen.


    Austin could only raise his voice and say, "There''s some instant food in the fridge and a pot of soup!"


    Alexander immediately opened the lid of the soup pot on the stove. As soon as he opened it, a foul


    smell filled the air. He was speechless and frowned before immediately putting the lid back on, but the


    stench lingered.


    He had no idea how long the soup had been there. It was spoiled.


    Then he turned to open the fridge. Indeed, there was a lot of instant food, but it was a mess. Alexander

    could not tell what was what. On top of that, he did not know how long these things had been in there


    as well.


    After hesitating for a moment, he closed the fridge again. He could not feed his son such food. It


    seemed that once the older man fell sick alongside all the servants, the disease did not seem to be the


    only problem. Austin was struggling with food as well.


    Alexander rummaged through the cupboard again and found a few packets of instant noodles. He


    turned on the stove and thought about it before turning it off again.


    ‘Forget it! I can’t bear to feed my son this crap!’
