Chapter 1443
"Oh, oh, oh. This is all Grandpa's fault!" Dominic slapped his own face lightly and ordered someone to
carry the child into a bedroom. Then he covered Galen with a small blanket and watched the little boy
toss and turn to a more comfortable sleeping position.
Once Galen had fallen back into his slumber, Dominic waved everyone away and came out. He tiptoed
cautiously and kicked off the slippers that were getting in the way. He only breathed a sigh of relief
once he reached the living room.
When he saw Lily leisurely sipping on tea, he could not help but feel a surge of anger. "Tell me, what
are you trying to do?!"
"I want you to do me a favor, Mr. Fike," She replied politely.
"You want me..." After a pause, all his anger seemed to have dissipated. He was not used to Lily
speaking to him so politely. "Hey, hey, hey."

told her to treat him as a friend. Although she sometimes addressed him as an "old man," he was still
pleased.
Now that Lily was polite, Dominic felt a little uncomfortable.
"What can I do for you?" He asked attentively.
If Austin saw the expression on Dominic's face right now, his heart would shatter into a million pieces.
Austin had always begged Dominic for help, only to receive the cold shoulder. He had never seen this
side of Dominic, who seemed genuine about helping.
Lily put down her teacup and casually said, "Take care of my baby."
"Take care of..." His smiling face instantly froze as he sank into the sofa with a terrified expression.
"What baby?"
Lily quietly raised her hand and pointed toward the room. "That one."
Dominic was flabbergasted. "No way!" He exclaimed. "Impossible!"
"Really?" Lily raised her eyebrows and asked again.
"I don't want to!" Dominic turned and rejected her mercilessly. He did not want to look at her, fearing
that he might not be able to reject her if he did.
'No, no, no! I won't do it! Absolutely not!'
"Forget it, then. I'll just send Galen to some stranger." Lily sighed helplessly. "Otherwise, I'll just bring
him to Burnwken with me.”
"Bring him to Burnwken?!" Dominic could not help but raise his voice when he heard this. However, a
sound from the bedroom quickly caused him to lower his voice again. "What are you doing, going to
Burnwken? It's so chaotic over there with the ongoing war.
"On top of that, there's a plague outbreak! You must've lost your mind! Don't bring him there!"
"I guess I have no choice but to leave my baby at home with some stranger. " Lily ignored what he said
and shrugged as if there were no other choice.
Her actions rendered the old man speechless.

"Why are you leaving your son with a stranger? Are you an evil stepmother? What grudges do you
have against the child? W-What are you trying to do?! " Dominic was so angry that he could barely
speak coherently at the end.
Then he continued as he wagged his finger at her, "There are so many servants and nannies in your
house. Are they all incompetent?!"
"You know about how my nanny taught Galen to pick a lock? Besides, I haven't looked into her
background yet. Her resume seems clean, and there's nothing wrong with her."
Dominic did not reply. He knew about this incident and also thought the nanny at Lily's house was
suspicious, but that was not a good enough reason for him to take Galen under his wings, was it?
"Then..." After some hesitation, Dominic said, "What about his grandmother? What about your uncle?
The Russells and Christians are such a big family. Why can't you find anyone you can rely on to care
for your son?"
