Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1866

Alexander smiled. As long as the child was safe, everything would be okay. However, he suddenly seemed to remember something and removed his glove to touch his son's forehead, neck, and cheeks.

Austin felt uneasiness wash over him when he saw that. He asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

"He has a fever," Alexander turned and lightly answered. His voice sounded calm, but anyone could tell he was trying to suppress his emotions.

Under normal circumstances, having a fever would be nothing unusual for a child. However, this was a dangerous time, and Galen had always been in good health. Even when the plague was raging, he did not fall sick. Yet, now, he had a fever.

He was sick in a house that got infected with an unknown disease. Alexander could only think of the worst as his heart sank. He carried the child out sullenly.

"You…" Austin was stunned for a moment before quickly returning to his senses. He watched Alexander walk by him with the child in his arms and head downstairs.

"Are you taking the child away?" Austin chased after them and asked, "If he's…"

Initially, he wanted Alexander to pick Galen up to prevent him from getting infected. Now that the child had a fever, it might be possible that the child had already gotten infected.

Without saying a word, Alexander walked downstairs and carefully placed Galen on the sofa. Then he went to look for a towel before wetting it and wringing it dry before placing it on Galen's forehead.

He had already removed his other glove and protective suit as he did all this.

"You…" Austin was shocked by what he saw. "Have you lost your mind?!"

Once Alexander was done with Galen, he finally looked up at Austin. "Galen is sick, so I'll stay here with him."

"Huh?" This sudden change of plans sent Austin into a daze. "What do you mean?"

"The child is sick, and I'm unsure if he's infected. I can't take him away, or it might spread. On top of that…" Alexander paused before continuing, "I can't leave either. I must stay and take care of him. Plus, I've been in contact with both him and you. If it is contagious, it is best if I stay and observe myself for the next two days.”

Although Alexander was not well versed in diseases, what he had experienced before gave him a better understanding of how to deal with contagious diseases.

"Where's your granduncle?" He asked.
