An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 826

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.

"What? Don't you trust my medical skills? I can't say that I can bring the dead back to life. But I'm confident I have what it takes to treat illnesses and remedy poisonings." Dustin looked confident.

"You've got a point there." Natasha sighed in relief.

Ever since she got to know Dustin, he could handle all sorts of complex illnesses. A little poison shouldn't be of too much concern.

"Alright, don't worry about me. You should take better care of yourself! Look at you. I haven't seen you in a few days, and you're already starting to look exhausted." Dustin changed the topic.

"I look exhausted? Do I?"

Natasha immediately pulled out a compact mirror to have a look at herself. Women were always very concerned about how they looked.

"Nelson …"

Right then, a pregnant lady walked in with a little girl who looked around five years old.

"Why are you here?" Nelson obviously hadn't expected to see them.
