Interlude(1.6)

[Present]

I let out a loud cough, feeling like someone is squeezing my windpipe. Leaning forward, I open my mouth wide and inhale sharply. Harvey comes behind me and pats my back with his gloved hand, telling me to take slow deep breaths.

After a moment, the feeling goes away. I look at Harvey, wide-eyed. "What the fuck just happened?"

My throat is still stinging with pain as if a porcupine is crawling through it.

Harvey looks sideways at particularly nothing but the black glass wall. "It's nothing. Don't think much about it."

"Huh?" I scowl at him. While I feel like I am dying, this dude is saying that it's nothing. I realize that Harvey is single because of his careless attitude. "Harvey, I felt like someone was choking me."

"Then, you probably have Covid19 symptoms," He says shamelessly. "You should get tested."

I shake my head at him.
