Gina's face turned red instantly as she held her throat and took two steps back. There was even white steam emerging from her head. She had a pained expression as if she had just swallowed a piece of hot coal.
"Are you alright, Gina? Are you scalded? Or choked?" Mag was shocked too. He swiftly put down the knife and got a glass of ice water. After some quick thinking, he tossed in a pinch of sea salt before giving it to Gina.
"Gulp, gulp~"
Gina took the glass and downed the water in a few big gulps.
Mag seemed to hear a "shhh" sound as if hot coal was extinguished by water.
Gina put down the glass and heaved a long breath in relief. Her red face was full of sweat and satisfaction.
She thought she had swallowed a ball of fire earlier, and it was burning all the way down her throat. The seawater reserve in her body was almost all depleted, but that glass of ice water doused the huge fire instantly like a rainstorm.
