An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 952

"Goodbye, my love …"

Despite being unconscious, Dustin heard a familiar voice speaking to him.

He wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't no matter how hard he tried. It felt like his body had fallen into a bottomless pit and was still falling.

Fear and despair washed over him in the dark world.

He didn't know how long he'd been in this state.

A year? Ten? Or maybe even a hundred?

Just as Dustin was about to break down, he saw a burst of light in the distance.

Like a drowning man yearning for air, he 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 he had been reborn.

He took a moment to check himself and realized that the poison had miraculously disappeared from his body!

Although he 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 he panted exhaustedly.
