It seems that the toxin within him had finally stabilized. But things still weren’t looking up for him.

When Dustin turned around, he found Natasha sitting by his bedside. Worry was evident on her beautiful face.

“Poisoned? What happened?” Natasha asked, furrowing her brow.

“It’s just a little poison. It isn’t serious. I’ll be fine after taking some medications.” Dustin chuckled. “Are you sure?” Natasha was doubtful.
