"Jasmine, are you okay?" Avery asked in concern.
She had been eating her food perfectly fine at first but had started to slow down.
Avery had noticed this but did not think that it was anything to be worried about. He figured that she was just trying to savor the meal.
Now though, he figured that there must have been something wrong.
Jasmine was perfectly healthy, and with her augmentations it would have been extraordinary for any serious medical issue to suddenly occur.
"I don't know why, but for some reason, my head hurts. Avery help me…"
As Jasmine started to weekly ask for assistance, she turned towards Avery and stopped midsentence.
A moment later, she yelped out in fear and pushed him away.
This came as a complete surprise to Avery. Yet, when he noticed that her pupils were dilated and she was sweating profusely, it was apparent what was going on.
'She's been poisoned!' Avery thought, glancing at her half-eaten meal.
