Chapter 1982


    Austin and Dominic did not have a solution to this problem or even know what it was. Austin and the


    others could only rely on Dominic’s analysis, stating it was the work of a virus, not a symbiote.


    They also wondered about detoxification and recovery. However, it was essential to have faith, as once


    people stopped believing in themselves, they would eventually fail.


    "Hehe…" Dominic chuckled nonchntly. He was not too bothered about this. It did not matter to him


    whether he lived or died.


    Dominic had devoted his whole life to learning traditional medicine, and although he was not entirely


    satisfied with his achievements, he still made a name for himself.


    Moreover, he was delighted with the few apprentices he had taken under his wings. As for Austin…


    Dominic turned to look at his grandnephew.


    ‘Even though this stinking brat has always angered me and did plenty of stupid things, he has finally


    grown into being a doctor. It doesn’t matter if I die or not. It’s just that I can’t die right now.’


    "Don''t worry. I won''t die," Dominic said. "I haven''t scolded you enough yet."


    “Go ahead and scold me, Uncle Dom! I like it when you do that. You must keep scolding me for the


    next few decades!” Austin hastily replied.


    Dominic red at him before bursting intoughter. He could not die yet, at least for now. Austin would


    wallow in guilt and me himself for Dominic’s death if thetter died now. That burden would be too


    heavy for Austin to bear.


    "Since it''s a virus, we can''t defeat it using the same way we eliminate a symbiote," the older man


    continued after adjusting his posture. Although Dominic was exhausted, he knew he must finish what


    he wanted to say.


    He did not know if he could wake up if he fell asleep again. Therefore, he wanted to say everything he


    could think of while still up and speaking.


    "Okay, I understand! We must find a way to defeat this virus." After realizing it was a viral infection and


    not symbiote poisoning, Dominic knew his previous research was wrong. He had read many books on


    symbiotes, but ultimately, that was not the case.


    ‘How can we ovee it if I initially went in the wrong direction?’


    After some thought, Dominic said, “Lily…”


    "Lily left to find a solution, and so did Alexander," Austin replied ambiguously. He did not want Dominic


    to know too much to prevent him from worrying. "Don''t worry. They''re bothpetent. Surely they''ll


    find a way."


    "Didn''t you look down on my apprentice?" Dominic raised his eyebrow and asked half-jokingly,


    Austin did not answer. After a moment of silence, he finally squeezed out three words. "I respect her!"


    Before, he felt unconvinced in various ways. Although Austin admired Lily, he was still a little


    dissatisfied. Even up until now, it was hard for him to ept the truth. Not only was Lily''s attainments in


    medicine higher than his, but she was also better than him in various aspects, be it herposure or


    her fearlessness in the face of danger.


    After witnessing so many things, he found it impossible not to be afraid. He was terrified in that hell-like

    ce, yet Lily knew she was entering a lion’s den and still went in. Austin could not help but respect


    her courage and determination.


    Dominicughed when he heard his grandnephew’s words. Then he sighed and said, “It’s just a pity


    that…”
