His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)
Chapter 1863

Right after Alexander hung up the phone, it rang again. This time, it was an unknown number. He usually would not answer unknown numbers, but this was his private phone. After hesitating for a second, he slowly pressed the answer button.

"Hello?"

"Daddy..." A childish voice came from the other end, clear and sweet.

Alexander's heart instantly softened, and the frown on his face immediately loosened. "Galen?"

"Daddy, Grandpa is sick."

"Huh? Where are you? Whose phone are you using to call? Where's Grandpa now?" Alexander became aware that something must be wrong and quickly walked to the corner of the room to ask in a deep voice.

"Mr. Russell..." A familiar voice of a man sounded. Alexander could not think of who it might be on the spot.

"It's Austin," the other party spoke before he could figure it out. "There's something I want to tell you."

After knowing who it was, Alexander relaxed a little. He tugged on his tie and urged, "What is it?"

"About that... I don't think it's suitable for your son to continue staying here. Can you bring him home?" The other party seemed a little hesitant as he finished his sentence.

"Huh?"

It had not been long since Alexander dropped Galen at Dominic's, and Dominic agreed to take Galen in. Yet, Austin now asked Alexander to bring Galen home again. Everything was even weirder since Austin called instead of Dominic.

Alexander felt something was wrong and frowned. "Did something happen?"

"I can't explain it to you over the phone, but I don't think it's suitable for your son to stay here. Uncle Dom has also fallen ill. Can you come and pick Galen up as soon as possible?"

Following that, Alexander heard some movement before the phone disconnected. It caused his heart to sink. His intuition told him something serious had happened, but he did not know what it could be. Austin did not explain the situation, and Dominic seemed out of it.

The call sounded like Galen was okay, but Alexander still felt unsettled. Ultimately, he turned around, took his coat, and informed his servant. "Prepare the car. I'm going out. Postpone all my meetings and cancel those we can't postpone."

Immediately after, Alexander prepared to leave for Dominic's house with a few bodyguards. Nothing looked out of place from the outside. He told the bodyguards to stay outside while he walked toward the main door and redialed the number.

He had been calling the number several times on the way to Dominic's, and Austin only picked up the call once. Alexander informed Austin that he was on his way and asked him again what was happening. However, Austin vaguely said everyone was sick in that house and told him to take precautions before coming here. Then he hastily hung up the phone again, making Alexander's heart even heavier. When he arrived, he could not seem to get through to Austin's number. Alexander looked at the iron door and signaled for one of his bodyguards to knock, but no one opened it.

In the past, the butler typically greeted them regardless of whether or not they would be allowed in. There was no sound this time as if no one was home.
