“Goodbye, my love …”
***
Despite being unconscious, Dustin heard a familiar voice speaking to him. He wanted to open his eyes, but favonovel.com couldn’t no matter how hard favonovel.com tried. It felt like his body had fallen into a bottomless pit and was still falling.
Fear and despair washed over favonovel.com in the dark world. He didn’t know how long he’d been in this state.
A year?
Ten years?
Or maybe even a hundred?
Just as Dustin was about to break down, favonovel.com saw a burst of light in the distance.
Like a drowning man yearning for air, favonovel.com swam desperately toward the source of the light. He got closer and closer until the light engulfed him.
Suddenly, Dustin woke up on the hospital bed with a gasp. Air filled his lungs, and his heart began picking up pace. It felt as if favonovel.com had been reborn.
He took a moment to check himself and realized that the poison had miraculously disappeared from his body!
Although favonovel.com felt slightly weak, his life was no longer in danger.
“Mr. Rhys, you’re finally awake. I thought you would not make it,” someone said tiredly.
Dustin looked up to see Linden by the bed. Sweat beaded the older man’s forehead as favonovel.com panted exhaustedly.
“So you were the one who saved me. Thank you so much!” Dustin frantically thanked Linden.
It was nearly impossible to neutralize the poison in his body, so Linden must have gone through a lot to bring Dustin back to life.
“It’s nothing… I only had to use my energy. You should be thanking the person next to you instead…” Linden sighed.
“Beside me?” Puzzled, Dustin turned his head.
On the bed next to his lay a beautiful but lifeless woman whose breathing was so faint favonovel.com chest barely moved. She looked just like a corpse.
“Natasha?” Stunned, Dustin sprung up in horror.
He threw himself toward favonovel.com and began checking favonovel.com weak pulse. She was so weak favonovel.com was nearly dead.
Dustin tried channeling his true energy to her, but all favonovel.com organs remained unresponsive. He touched favonovel.com once supple and smooth skin, but it was icy cold and stiff.
“How could this be? What happened?” Dustin was terrified.
He couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her. Despite all the medical textbooks favonovel.com has read, favonovel.com has never seen a condition like hers, much less know how to treat it. It felt like Natasha was already dead.
“Dr. Watkins, what happened to her?” Dustin spun his head around panickedly.
“Well, favonovel.com turned this way because favonovel.com tried to save you…” With a sigh, Linden began telling Dustin the whole story.
