Chapter 1959


    “But it’s quite risky for you to leave here. What if—”


    Before Austin could finish, Alexander interrupted him, “How much longer will the world be safe?”


    Austin was at a loss for words.


    Alexander said solemnly, “The situation is changing every day. Besides, even Dominic says symbiotes


    might not cause the disease, and we aren’t even sure what kind of pathogens it is. However, more


    unknown pathogens will soon spread if we don’t solve the problem. Then it’ll be even harder to deal


    with the situation!”


    Austin noticed his somber expression and lowered his hands from trying to stop Alexander. He knew


    the mysterious and vicious organization was not only researching one type of pathogen. Also, the


    variety andplexity of these biological weapons were beyond his imagination.


    He was shocked when he learned about the experiments the organization was trying to do. He also


    knew Alexander had much more information than him.


    “I know you’re under a lot of pressure. All of us are.” Alexander gently patted Austin’s shoulder.


    “Okay, I won’t be stopping you, but please try to have minimal contact with others,” Austin said


    seriously.


    As the source of the disease, he was still worried.


    ‘Whether it is a virus, a symbiote, or something unknown, I can’t change the fact that the disease came


    from me.’


    The deep sense of guilt tormented him even more than physical pains.


    ‘The organization truly knows how to torture us, physically and mentally!’


    “I will.” Alexander understood Austin’s concerns and nodded.


    “Also…” Before he could finish, Austin caught on and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of Galen.


    Although I have little experience with children, I believe I can. Just leave him and Dominic to me and go


    do your things.”


    Alexander nodded. “I’ll leave some of my men outside. Tell them if you need anything, and they’ll


    deliver it. If there’s—”


    Austin chuckled. “Hey, I’m not a three-year-old, okay? I know what to do. Just rx and go.”


    Alexander stopped telling him what to do after hearing that. He could not help but chuckle as he had


    never been so wishy-washy. He thought it was because he had never faced such a difficult situation in

    his entire life, nor had anyone.


    “Take care, okay?” He then hurried away.


    One of his bodyguards saw him as he exited the estate and quickly greeted him.


    “Take me to the Rollins’ residence,” Alexander instructed. He leaned back against the car seat and


    turned to gaze at the passing scenery, feeling like he had a dream.


    When he first came to take Galen home, he did not expect to stay there for so many days, not to


    mention the risks he had to face. The few days felt like years. Even though he had left the ce, he felt


    even more overwhelmed than relieved.
