Derek's response was immediate.
"I told her to never lie to me. That's all. This way, I don't have to worry about her faking her reactions or deceiving me."
Liam's expression shifted as he took out a small vial containing a luminescent serum. "Alright, let's focus on the serious matters."
He held up the vial between them. "You have talk to Layla, so you should know what this is."
Derek nodded, his anticipation palpable. "Yes, it's one of the reason I still awake. I'm want to awaken as soon as possible."
Liam placed the serum on the table. "Are you prepared for the pain?"
With a nod, Derek grasped the vial. Swiftly, he uncapped it and raised it to his lips, swallowing the substance in one gulp.
The moment the serum touched his tongue, a sensation akin to swallowing molten lava assaulted him.
