His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 1867

“In...the herb hut in the backyard.” Austin pointed toward the backyard and added, "I'll take you there."

Alexander was not in a hurry and asked, "What about the servants?"

"The servants are in their quarters. They've been told not to work until they've fully recovered. Everyone has to rest and isn't

allowed to go out." Austin did not know why he had so obediently answered Alexander's questions.

Alexander nodded when he heard this. "Are those your granduncle's orders?"

"Yes," Austin quickly replied. Then confusion hit him. "How do you know?"

Dominic was sick in bed, so one should assAustin had been handling things around the house. Yet, somehow, Alexander

immediately knew these were Dominic's orders.

"You're not that far-sighted," Alexander retorted with a smirk, which shocked Austin almost instantaneously.

He was dissatisfied and about to defend himself when he thought about Alexander's validity. If it had not been for Dominic's orders

before he passed out from high fever, Austin would have never thought about telling the servants not to go out.

When Dominic fell ill, none of the servants showed any symptoms. They only showed signs of sickness one after the other within

these three days.

At that time, Austin was impressed by his granduncle's foresight. It was as if Dominic knew everything in advance. He did not allow

the servants to leave the house or have contact with outsiders. He also advised them to stay within the servants’ headquarters.

"You're right," Austin choked out such a sentence after holding back for a long time.

"You seem alright," Alexander said, looking him up and down.

Hearing this, Austin looked at himself and scratched his head. Then a rush of frustration took over, and he tugged his hair. "It's

because I'm fine that | hate myself more!"

"Are you the source?" Alexander asked.

"How do you know?!" Austin was perplexed. "Did you study medicine as well?"

"lI don't, and | didn’t." Alexander shook his head and continued, "You toldthis was all your fault, so | assumed you're the source

of all this, or should | say the host?"

Even after thinking about it, he still could not find a proper term to describe it.

"Because of you, everyone around is infected—sexperienced severe symptoms. However, you, as the source, are fine."

Hearing this, Austin rubbed his arm subconsciously. "I-I'm not sure."

He had a vague idea of this, but he was uncertain. He even asked Dominic a few times, only to be called self-centered. Later,

Dominic fell unconscious again. From then on, Austin had no tto even think about this.

Now, after being asked by Alexander, the doubt in Austin's heart piqued again.

"I have no idea. My granduncle cured the poison in my body, and I've recovered. How can | be the host? I've never encountered

such a thing."

Alexander nodded as he listened. He had never encountered this before, either. Not only that, but what happened over the past

few days was odd, too.

However, they were just a speck of dust in a world with seven billion people. Who knew what else was out there?

Alexander turned around, pulled out the thermometer, and squinted.

"How is it?" Austin asked with concern.

"38.5," Alexander replied flatly, glancing at Austin.

"He has a fever," Austin said matter-of-factly. However, those four simple words were not as simple as they sounded. At this

juncture, he feared the child might also be infected. On top of that, they were still unsure what kind of infectious disease it was,

what harm it would cause, and what the consequences were.
