Fate's Dark Side Chapter 709

"What is that?" Susan asked him.

"The antidote. This poison is from my lab. I think my days of experiments have come to an end. Yuri has outdone himself this time. Devin is a strong man to be still alive," He said; everyone was focused on Devin, hoping to see signs of improvement.

"Do not worry, he will get better, and even if they shoot him with it again, it will never affect him again, except for the silver, of course. That will always affect him. I would have to administer this to all of you to prevent this from happening to any of you. My freedom depends on everyone in this room; I can't let Yuri spoil things for me. I have never wanted him dead before, but now, that is all I look forward to. This is extreme," he said, and I could hear the rage in his voice.

It was indeed extreme seeing that Sylvester planned to fix all the wrongs committed against Stepanovs. Yuri was just plain wicked.

I saw the blue veins begin to disappear and colour return to Devin's face. I have never felt relief with the intensity I felt in those moments, watching the signs of life returning to my friend's body.

You genuinely do not know how much someone means to you until you are close to losing them or you lose them.

I did not think I cared so much about Devin until tonight. He was the brother I never had.

We had met on the wrong foot, but he had become my closest friend. We have been through thick and thin together. Yuri would pay for what he did tonight.

I felt Black relax.

Claudia checked on Devin; her smile gave us all peace of mind.

Claudia smiled and cried at the same time. Finally, releasing her emotions.

"He is in the clear," She said, and Vino went to hold her.

She was, indeed, a strong woman. To have carried on all the while so that she could treat Devin. I commended her for her effort and her strength. She held on to Vino tightly and wept.

"Don't leave me! Do not die," She said repeatedly, which brought tears to my eyes because I knew what she was feeling.

Amelia held on to me and squeezed tightly; her heartbeat was still fast. Words did not need to be spoken between us. I understood how she felt.

Theodore handed me shorts, and I realised I was naked all along. I collected the shorts and wore them immediately. No one cared. We were all worried for Devin, but now that he was in the clear, I could feel the tension in the room ease up.

Just then, Alexei, Clay, and Nelson entered the room, looking worried and confused.

"What happened?" Alexei asked, looking at Devin where he lay. Susan held Devin's hands tightly, and her tears were still falling. Only Devin could comfort her, but I saw Tamia trying to ease her mind.

"He will be fine and stronger than he was," Erik said, and no one spoke. David, Nicole, and Dominic joined.

I wondered if Katya would come too, but it didn't seem so. There was a possibility she was asleep, and Avery too. I wanted to tell Amelia to go to bed, but I did not bother.

Vino told them what happened, and I wondered where the Kappa that survived was.

"Did you see the Kappa?" I asked Vino.

"He is fine; He got here after you arrived with Marcel. He wasn't hit, but he was traumatised," Sylvester said, and I was glad that the man made it.

"I have to commend you for your quick thinking, Leo. You all would have been dead if you had not told them to get out of the car and run." Sylvester said, and I could see gratitude in his eyes. He masked his emotions well, but I saw that he was scared, and just like all of us, he was hanging by a thread.

Sylvester looked at Erik with a stern expression. I could see he was calculating in his mind.

"Do you have more of what you just gave Devin?" He asked him, and Erik nodded.

"Of course I do. That is what I came here to produce, and I came with lots of samples. Hence why I offered to administer it to all of you," He said, and I frowned; likewise did Sylvester.
