Chapter 2016


    Afterward, the maid quickly shut the gate and said nothing more. She would not have revealed


    anything if anyone else were asking questions.


    However, Alexander was worried as he did not expect Anastasia’s condition to worsen so fast. She told


    him she was okay but started vomiting blood so suddenly.


    “Let’s head to the hospital!” He said.

    “But…” Edward hesitated. After all, Alexander said he wanted to minimize contact with people.


    “We’ll keep our distance. Also, tell the hospital to get me a hazmat suit,” Alexander said gravely.


    ‘I must see her no matter what and find out more. If I have something to do with her being sick, anyone


    who has contact with her must go into quarantine. If not, there will be a serious outbreak!’


    “Yes, sir!” Edward immediately called the hospital. Soon after, he quickly drove Alexander to the


    hospital.

    When Dominic regained consciousness, he turned his head but saw no one around. He looked left and


    right and found he was alone. Tired and in pain, he let out a quiet sigh and elicited a response.


    “Uncle Dom, you’re awake?” It was Austin’s voice.


    Surprised, the older man raised his head and realized Austin was sitting at a desk across from the end


    of his bed.


    “What are you doing over there?” Dominic dropped his head, too tired to move.


    Austin put down his pen and hurried over. “I was taking notes. Are you hungry? Would you like to eat


    something? Or have some water?”


    “Water,” the older man said.


    Austin immediately fetched Dominic a ss of water and helped him drink half of it. He put it down and


    wiped the corner of Dominic’s lips with a napkin. “Are you still feeling ufortable?”


    Dominic shook his head and tilted it to look at his grandnephew.


    “What’s wrong?” Austin asked, puzzled.


    “You seem different,” Dominic said thoughtfully.


    Austin was surprised and chuckled. “Different in what way? Have you forgotten who I am after sleeping


    for too long?”


    “Did I sleep for a long time?” Dominic asked confusedly.


    “Not really. Just around eighteen hours.” Austin looked outward at the window. “It’s good to rest.”


    Dominic let out a bitter smile. ‘How can he call this resting? Anyway, he sure seems different now.’


    “What were you doing just now?” He noticed Austin was calmer and less impatient than before.
