Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1875

Since Alexander did not respond immediately, the gears in Mike’s head started to turn. “Alex, I’m guessing it’s the medicine the organization used in Austin.”

Alexander regained his senses at the sound of a crucial point. “What medicine?”

“The virus,” Mike sucked in a deep breath and corrected himself, his voice low, “The organization created many versions of the virus, which I’m sure you’re aware of. There are too many types, and I don’t know their specific purposes.

“When Austin was here, they injected the medication, which is the virus, into his body. His body was inflating at a crazy rate. His muscles were so overgrown that I thought he would explode soon.”

Alexander nodded as he listened to Mike speak. He knew all that, but all those were just things on the surface.

“He managed to get through it in the end, though. Later, I wanted to help him because he was an innocent person who was forcefully involved in this. I found a chance when we were moving to another place, so I let him go,” Mike continued, “The rest is history. Still, that opportunity was a loophole created by the organization. As for what they really want, I’ve got no idea either.

“According to what you said, did they just want to let him go so that he’d spread the virus around after injecting it into him?”

All of this was just Mike’s assumptions. He was not entirely confident either. However, after hearing Alexander's words, he believed he was thinking in the right direction.

Alexander nodded, finding Mike’s assumption to be highly plausible. Still, it did not mean Mike was innocent and knew nothing about it.

‘What if Mike knew it all along and is just putting up an act right now?’

Once one broke trust, it would be difficult to trust them completely again.

Mike heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that. He still trusted Alexander. Plus, he had no idea about Nick’s whereabouts before this. Nonetheless, they were starting to have leads, which was the best news.

After hanging up the call, Alexander sighed. When he turned around, he noticed Galen was already awake. Galen silently stared at his father, and it pained Alexander to see his son in this state.

He quickly headed over to Galen and sat at the edge of the bed. He asked softly, “You’re awake?”

“Daddy, when did you get here?” Galen asked, his voice slightly hoarse but still childlike that it would make anyone adore him.

“I just arrived.” Alexander chuckled.
