Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1680

“Does...”

“The medicine only helps balance your bodily functions and replenish your energy and vitality. It doesn’t counteract the virus, so don’t expect too much!” Feeding him the medicine, Dominic said, “I’m no god, and I can’t yet figure out what’s going on within you. I won’t be able to come up with a cure so soon, okay?”

Austin remained quiet and drank the medicine. He knew Dominic could not have come up with a cure so quickly, if he could at all. He did not want to put too much faith in him for fear of being disappointed.

However, he was glad Dominic was being friendly to him.

After feeding Austin, Dominic looked at him while holding the empty bowl, and sighed. "We don't know what's inside you yet, but you know how bad the pandemic has gotten. For your safety, stay here for the time being. Of course, you can’t move even if you want to. Let me... think of something.”

He sounded angry when he said the last sentence.

“Thank…” Before Austin could say “you,” he saw Dominic stalk out of the room.

A dead silence returned. However, lying there, he felt calmer than he had ever experienced before.

No longer pacing around, Lily asked, “How’s Debbie?”

“Her condition is stable. Fortunately, the poisoning is not serious, and the toxin has been cleared. Also, the lab report shows that her indicators are getting back to normal. You’re right. She has... recovered.”

Although she had expected it, Lily was relieved to hear him say so. She let out a relaxed look as she sat on a chair beside her and lightly pounded her back.

“But... would that person truly do something?” Although most of what she said had turned out to be true, he could not help but doubt her words.

After all, that individual had worked with him the longest.
