"You..." Claudia Ross opened her mouth to speak when suddenly her throat became very uncomfortable. She quickly covered her mouth, coughing as if her heart was ripping apart.
Wyatt Perry, already psychologically scarred, turned pale with fear at the sight of Claudia coughing.
He frantically grabbed a bottle of purified water for Claudia to drink and clamored to go to the hospital for a full-body check-up immediately.
Seeing Wyatt so worried about her, Claudia laughed, "I'm okay... cough... it's just a sore throat... cough, cough..."
After taking a big gulp of water and finally stopping the cough, Claudia took a relieved breath.
She told Wyatt, "Last night, a drink bottle went up in flames and I inhaled some fumes, so my throat is a bit uncomfortable, but it's nothing serious."
"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?" Wyatt was still not at ease.
Claudia shook her head, "No, I'll be fine after drinking some water. Are you hungry? Let's go eat!"
"Are you really okay?"
