The virus in Damien Valerius's body first flared up three years ago, erupting without any warning. After he was rushed to the hospital, the top specialists at major international hospitals were helpless in the face of these unprecedented toxic cells. They could only attempt to suppress the condition.
Fortunately, that was the first outbreak, and the number of toxic cells in his system was still at a manageable level. But to the surprise of both the doctors and Damien Valerius, the toxic cells reproduced at an astonishing rate. Gradually, the hospital's conservative treatments became completely ineffective.
If Joanna Jacobs hadn't developed a preliminary antidote in time to temporarily stabilize the rampaging toxic cells in Damien's system, he likely would have died three years ago.
