Alex's heartbeat hastened on hearing Catherine's words and beads of sweat started to trickle down from his forehead.
'How did she know?'Alex pondered for a moment.
"Alex, you can stop your act," Catherine spoke with a stern voice.
'Sure enough, she isn't the daughter of the Goddess of Wisdom for nothing.'
Alex opened his eyes slowly and saw Catherine's expression which had a mix of worry and anger.
Swallowing his saliva, Alex opened his dried lips to speak.
"Ummmm!!"
When Alex opened his lips, he struggled to speak and a raspy voice came out. Even though it was a muffled sound, it was clear and audible.
Alex looked at Catherine's gaze with a bitter smile on his face.
"I just woke up when Riya started to clean me," Alex muttered and before he could say anything else, Catherine stuffed the spoon into his mouth.
Gulp!
