Chapter 1983


    "It''s just that, what?" Austin was curious.


    "It''s just a pity that although my apprentice is talented, she isn’t focused on practicing medicine. She


    enjoys making fragrances. If she didn''t drop medicine to focus on perfumery, her aplishments


    would be endless!” Dominic eximed emotionally.


    He always knew Lily wanted to go into perfumery, but he was against it. He always felt that such things


    were not of much use and that they had no medical benefits.


    However, Lily was obsessed with perfumery, and Dominic could not do much to stop her. Moreover,


    she showed great talent in perfumery, and it did not take long for her to make a name for herself.


    Dominic had witnessed life and death many times, and with what had happened recently, he realized


    even the most skilled doctors could only save lives but could not heal hearts. Many things were out of


    his control.

    Once he had let go of his obsession, he no longer med her as much. Still, he could not let go of his


    pride. Lily and Dominic did not talk for a few years afterward. Then Dominic vaguely heard Lily was


    dating someone.


    Later, Dominic learned about her breakup and sudden marriage, which happened long before he knew.


    Lily was strong-willed and went through many things without telling the older man. Instead, she gritted


    her teeth and endured everything alone.


    However, it reminded Dominic of himself. Perhaps he showed her extra affection when he took her in


    as his secret apprentice because he saw their simrities.


    Austin was speechless.


    ‘Lily would have been even more capable now if she hadn’t given up halfway.’


    She was much better than Austin, even after turning it down a notch. It was hard to imagine what


    achievements she would have aplished if she continued studying medicine.


    “Uncle Dom, since you have such confidence in Lily, I believe she can cure you,” Austin said, pulling up


    his granduncle’s nket. “Now, don’t think about anything else. Don’t worry, and just rest well.”


    Dominic red at him and nodded slightly. “You shouldn’t worry too much, either. Although this incident


    happened because of you, you are not to me. Do you understand?”


    Austin nodded. "I do."


    Even so, Dominic knew his grandnephew still felt troubled by this and could not help but me himself.


    However, regarding things like these, it would ultimately depend on the individual to confront and


    ovee their feelings.


    Dominic took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. Indeed, he was exhausted.


    Austin began packing his things immediately after. As he mopped blood-stained floors and tore off the


    soiled sheets on the cushions, he was a small figure standing at the door.


    "Galen?" He called out subconsciously. "Why are you here? Quick, move back!"


    Dominic, who had already closed his eyes, hurriedly snapped them open again when he heard the little


    boy''s name. Then he turned toward the door to look at Galen. The older man’s eyes immediately lit up


    with excitement. “What are you doing here, boy?”


    "Grandpa…" Galen''s voice softened Dominic''s heart. The little one was about to stumble over instantly.


    He wanted to run into Dominic’s arms and be swung in the air, as Dominic had done many times


    before.


    "Don''t move!" Austin shouted, startling Galen, who immediately froze.


    Dominic immediately turned and red at Austin. Although the older understood the implementation,


    Austin still frightened Galen.
