Danielle forced a smile. Ever since she learned about this poison, she had gotten used to the constant torment it caused her body. It was nothing new, but recently, the toxins had become increasingly uncontrollable.

"I’m fine," Danielle said.

Everyone in the room stared at her, especially David, whose eyes were filled with uncontrollable concern.

Jason blinked, caught off guard. "Controlled it? How exactly? Tell me more." He rubbed his hands together, eager like a student waiting to hear a story.
