Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1870

However, Dominic still looked meager and tired, and his voice sounded softer. It was dry and hoarse. Alexander would have missed it if not for his heightened hearing. He squatted beside the older man again and inched closer to him. “How’re you feeling?”

Dominic shook his head feebly before opening his mouth and choppily muttered, "Don't…let…any…out."

Although he was not speaking in complete sentences, Alexander still understood his meaning.

"Is it very contagious?"

The older man nodded but did not answer.

"Will I be infected?" Alexander wondered if he could escape this calamity. After the last plague almost killed him, he did not think he would face another disaster. Despite this, none of it mattered now.

If Galen had gotten infected, Alexander's fear was redundant. He must stay by his son's side to accompany and care for him.

"Not…sure." The older man took a deep breath before raising his arms with great effort. "Look!"

Before he could lift his arm to put it out of the tub, it dropped heavily into the water again. Just like that, it fell below the water’s surface.

Alexander was startled and subconsciously wanted to reach out to help Dominic, who dodged him slightly.

"Don't...touch me!" Dominic seemed like he was having a hard time talking. Whenever he talked, he would tightly frown as if he had exhausted all his strength.
