The abrupt thought was so sudden that the food she was chewing entered the wrong pipe, causing her to cough violently.
"Wife! Are you alright?!" Garan exclaimed and immediately rubbed her back. He took out an earthenware bottle of water he had in space, carefully guiding her to drink.
When she was still coughing he paled and yelled at Betty. "Heal her right now!!!"
Innocent Betty, who was literally just there to buy some medicine, flinched.
"A-Ah, yes!" she uttered, immediately using her ability to help Althea out.
Of course, there was really not much damage for a healer to heal, so the action was mostly for Garan's peace of mind.
Soon, the bout of coughing halted, and Althea gently patted her husband's arm to calm him down. She smiled apologetically at Betty, who was ashamed of the lord's humbleness to her and wanted to cry.
Thanks for your constant support Alterans! You're the ones keeping me writing!
