Chapter 30

• Palpitations of the heart, muscle tremors, weakness, excessive sweating, and disorientation. These were the symptoms Damiano felt from the side effects of the drug injected into his system by Valentim.
• His dry throat made the simple process of drinking water difficult, and he felt constant nausea due to disorientation. His body was in chaos, literally. He had neither the physical strength nor the structure to stand, nor the energy needed to rescue Victoria from whatever evil she might be involved in.
• Nevertheless, he was determined. It was his duty, after all, since he understood that he had a large share of the blame for being in his current state.
