Cameron felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. He thought the current predicament was far more complex than the previous one. Lena was entirely under the drug’s influence now.
“Cameron, what should we do next?” Peggy asked, her heart racing at Lena’s seductive state.
“Lena must have been dosed with a potent aphrodisiac. The antidote requires specific acupuncture needles, which I don’t have with me. We need to return first,” Cameron explained seriously.
He regretted not carrying the lifesaving needles for such emergencies. He had to get back as soon as possible.
“What about Lena?” Peggy asked anxiously.

“Hey, wait!”
Peggy tried to stop him, but Cameron was already gone.
“How dare he leave me here alone!”
