Galen turned and stuck his face on Dominic's hand obediently and motionlessly.
Dominic initially allowed the little one to lie on his stomach.
Then he lowered his eyes to look at Galen.
Meanwhile, Austin felt emotional watching them from the sidelines.
Just then, he realized something was amiss and quickly stepped forward.
"Mm!"
Galen dodged and avoided Austin’s hand, afraid of getting pulled away.
Dominic subconsciously wanted to push Austin’s outstretched hand away when he noticed the look in
Austin’s eyes.
The older man was startled.
Then Austin gently pressed his hand against Galen’s neck and spoke warmly, "Stay still.Let me have a
look."
He brushed aside the little one’s hair at the back and slightly pulled down his collar, revealing Galen's

Dominic remained still, and the little one followed suit.
After realizing Austin would not pull him away, Galen sat obediently and cooperated with Austin.
Austin stared at the little one’s neck and saw a few tiny red dots that resembled eczema, but not quite.
Galen also had traces that resembled marks left after a fever, but it was too challenging for Austin to
make a definitive judgment.
"What is it?" Dominic finally spoke up and asked, unable to contain his curiosity any longer.
"Take a look."
Austin had a vague idea in his mind but was still unsure.So, when Dominic asked, he moved Galen to
the other side for Dominic to see.
From this angle, the visible area on the neck became apparent.
At first glance, Dominic did not think it was severe.However, upon closer inspection, his eyes widened
in surprise.
"That's..."
"Do you think it looks like an antibody reaction?" Austin asked tentatively. He had considered it, but he
was not entirely sure.
After all, one should always approach medical matters cautiously.
Also, since he had found such a thing on Galen’s neck, he needed extra precautions.
Dominic did not answer as he pondered, rubbing the marks lightly with his fingers.
The ticklish feeling caused Galen to shrink his neck.
Even so, he did not try to escape.It was as if he knew Dominic was doing something vital.
Dominic rubbed his rough fingertip over the spot, examined his own finger, and then leaned in for a
closer look.
He wanted to grasp Galen's wrist, but the exertion of leaning forward took a toll on his tired body as he
fell back down.
Austin quickly realized what his granduncle intended to do.He promptly picked up Galen, seated him

"Here, Uncle Dominic.Take a look."
"Hmm."
Dominic did not refuse and gently placed his finger on the child's wrist.He closed his eyes and
appeared to have dozed off while the two remained silent with their eyes fixated on him.
Galen was purely curious.He did not know what Dominic was up to but still had a certain level of trust in
him.
Galen even thought Dominic was playing with him and watched with great interest.
Meanwhile, Austin was nervously waiting for Dominic’s diagnosis.
After all, it could be a turning point for the entire situation if his suspicions were correct.
The room fell silent stillness, with only the sounds of the trio's breathing.
Time seemingly stretched on as Dominic remained motionless.
Austin even started to wonder if fatigue had overtaken Dominic.He was about to call out to his
granduncle when he saw Dominic's eyes open slowly.
"Uncle Dom..." Austin immediately called out.
