Chapter 1878


    Alexander called his assistant to buy food and necessities to deliver to the door. Then he ordered the


    assistant to leave it at the door, and someone would pick them upter. The things he got included


    noodles and various other food.


    After that, he thought about how they would take a while to buy and deliver them. He knew Galen


    would be starving by then. Alexander turned around and looked in a daze at the things in the kitchen,


    arms akimbo.


    ‘As the old saying goes, no one could make bricks without straws. I’m in a dilemma!’


    "Let me do it." Austin, who was rubbing his legs, appeared at the kitchen door. He assumed that an


    influential person like Alexander would not cook by himself.


    Alexander turned around and raised his eyebrows, looking at Austin with undisguised suspicion. "You?"


    Although Austin was grimacing from the pins and needles in his legs, he still felt a rush of


    dissatisfaction with Alexander''s attitude. "Don''t underestimate me!"


    First, Alexander doubted his medical skills. Now, he was doubting Austin''s cooking skills. How could


    Austin, as a man admired by many for years, be so ipetent in Alexander''s eyes?


    Austin went to the fridge and took a few eggs and jars before removing two bowls from the cupboard.


    He broke the eggs into the bowl and beat them, saying, "Although the food here can''tpare to the


    ones at your ce, it''s still home-cooked food. It won''t be unptable."


    As he spoke, he turned on the fire and opened the pot lid.


    "Hey—" Before Alexander could stop him, the pungent stench overwhelmed Austin.


    "F*ck!" Austin swore aloud before stumbling a few steps back into a fit of coughs. He did not expect


    such a stench, nor did he expect food to be in the pot.


    "How long has it been since you washed that pot?" Alexander asked with a frown.


    After all, the taste of the food was as crucial as its hygiene.


    Austin hurriedly put the bowl down and pinched his nose with one hand before carrying the pot to the


    sink with the other. He threw it in the sink and said, "How would I know? I never used it..."


    Alexander nced at the bin filled with empty instant noodle packages and quickly guessed how Austin


    had spent the past two days.


    Austin was a little embarrassed as it was like a p in his face after his arrogant statement.


    "Back then, the servants did all the cooking. When they fell sick two days ago, I had to prepare my own


    food. I didn''t know there was still soup in the pot."


    After seeing everyone in the house fall sick one after another over the past two days, thoughts of the


    virus filled Austin’s mind. Besides figuring out what kind of virus it was, his thoughts were full of anger


    and the hunger to kill. Eating was not his top priority; he only did so to fill his stomach.


    "Throw that pot away," Alexander said, "I''ve got someone to bring some food over. It’ll be here soon.


    You can help me pick it up from the doorter."


    "Me?" Austin was dumbfounded.


    "Otherwise?"


    Austin was the only healthy person in the room. With that said, Austin, being alive and kicking with a


    flushed face, starkly contrasted how weak he was a few days ago. Not only had his energy recovered,


    but it was also greatly enhanced.


    ‘Could that be the function of the "symbiote" that Dominic mentioned before passing out?’ Alexander
