Chapter 1889


    “You know you do!” Alexander pulled Austin back forcefully, causing him to lurch due to inertia.


    Austin was in a momentary daze as he staggered to a stop.


    Alexander looked at him solemnly. “Now the situation is unclear, and not even Dominic knows what the

    hell these symbiotes are. You’ll only worsen things by being so reckless.


    “You especially mustn’t wander around because you’re the source. Your family and the servants might


    not truly be infected and could be disying symptoms of other diseases. Therefore, you could y


    right into the organization’s hands if you recklessly go out there to pick up your family, okay?”


    His words got through to Austin. Austin cooled down as if a bucket of cold water had poured over him.


    He opened his mouth. “Then… what should I do?”


    He was too anxious. He hated himself and wished he had died in that hellhole when he thought about


    the torment his parents and grandfather might be facing. Now that Alexander hadid it out for Austin,


    he thought the former’s reasoning made sense.


    Austin knew he should not wander around because he might cause even more significant harm, no


    matter how anxious he was. Now he felt like a virus carrier who could cause unimaginable disasters


    wherever he went.


    “We don’t have to worry about the estate since no one can leave, and my men are standing guard


    outside. As for your family…” Alexander paused and knitted his brow, “I’ll send someone over to ensure


    no one can leave or enter the ce.


    “Rest assured that my men will provide the daily necessities. However, you must tell your family how


    important it is for them to cooperate.”


    Often, theck of cooperation from people ultimately led to a big mess. Therefore, Alexander knew he


    must emphasize this and ask Austin to stress it to his family.


    “I understand.” Austin nodded but asked with some concern, “But… will your people get infected?”


    Alexander shook his head and said, “I can’t say for sure, but at this moment, it’s the only way to


    minimize the risks. At least, they wouldn’t have direct contact with your family or you.”


    He paused and threw Austin a deep look. Austin pursed his lips and knew Alexander was right.


    ‘There’s no other way that’s better than this.’


    Alexander raised his hand to pat Austin’s shoulder. Then he softened his tone, saying, “Don’t worry too


    much. Based on what we know, the disease hasn’t spread widely. Besides, we can’t be sure if your


    blood infected them, and it’s all spection. We’re just doing our best to minimize risks.”


    Austin knew Alexander was trying tofort him, but it did make him feel better. Austin lowered his


    gaze, uttering only two words, “Thank you.”


    He had always been arrogant, but what he experiencedtely made him feel like a useless nobody who


    could not save himself and brought many troubles to his family and even harmed society.


    ‘There’s indeed so much to learn about herbal medicine. I didn’t take it seriously when Uncle Dom told


    me about it, but now I know I’ve barely scratched the surface. There’s so much more I know nothing


    about.’


    After hearing Austin expressing his gratitude, Alexander did not say much else and gently patted


    Austin’s shoulder twice.
