An Understated Dominance

When Dustin finally opened his eyes again, he was in the hospital.

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

“You’re awake, dear?” a surprised voice sounded beside him.

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

“Natasha, why are you here?” Dustin was shocked.

“I heard from Nelson that you fainted. Of course, I had to come over to check on you. What’s the matter? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?” Natasha asked, concerned.

“I’m fine. I guess I was just exhausted, so I dozed off.” Dustin pretended to be relaxed.

“Exhausted? Poisoned, more like,” Nelson muttered.

“Shut up!” Dustin glared at him.

“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.
