Chapter 2382

“We were worried sick when we heard they abducted you. I’m so glad you’re okay!”

“Yeah, right! If you were worried, why didn’t you come and save me?” Dominic glared at Austin.

“We wanted to, but you’re in the embassy. Besides, I doubt you’d let them bring you here against your will.” Austin paused for a moment and said, “So you wanted to come, right? To save Lily?” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Dominic said approvingly, “Not bad. You know me quite well.”

However, Austin did not show much excitement at being praised as they did not have much time. He asked, “You were the one who invited me here, right?”

Dominic nodded. “They were good enough to grant my request. They wouldn’t let me see Alexander, but you, on the other hand…”

He gave Austin a meaningful smile. The latter was not a significant threat to the embassy, so they allowed him to see Dominic. Besides, the embassy monitored the old man and his grandnephew’s conversation.

“Granduncle, you—”

Dominic suddenly held up a hand and said solemnly, “Stop talking and listen!”

“What’s happening now isn’t something you guys can handle. I don’t know what you guys have been doing, but your best option is to do nothing.”

“You want us to do nothing?” Austin asked in astonishment.

“Yes, what you do won’t matter. It’s beyond you guys,” Dominic said seriously.

“But.”

“No buts, okay? Go back and tell Alex what I just said.” After a pause, he added, “Anyway, don’t worry too much. There will always be someone who can handle it. What you can’t do, others can do for you.”

Austin was puzzled.

“All right, time’s up for us,” Dominic said after glancing at the clock.

Rick had allowed him to see Austin, but only within a short time and under constant surveillance.

“Why so soon?” Austin held his granduncle’s arm and said eagerly, “Come back with me. What are you staying here for? They can’t keep you here!”

The old man cleared his throat and pried Austin’s hand away. “Do you think they can keep me here against my will?”

“Then—”

“I want to stay, okay? Just drop it.” Dominic did not look like he was forced to stay at all. “Just go back and tell Alexander what I said. Oh, yeah, Lily is fine too.

Don’t worry.”

“You saw her?” Austin asked despite himself.

“Yes, I see her often. Just don’t worry, okay?” Dominic nodded. “Don’t get too anxious. When we’re done, we’ll go back. What we need most is time.
