Chapter 94

Josh's pov

"Please open your eyes." A feminine voice panicked as she cried out to me, and I felt a hand slapping against my cheeks. I could feel my head on a soft surface that smelled like a garden of flowers, the smell intoxicating my head and filling my senses, but as I tried to open my eyes, I let out a cough instead as I grabbed my neck.

I couldn't stop coughing as it felt like my throat was being strangled. The moment my eyes opened wide, I regained my full consciousness while my hands were still holding my neck tight.

"Thank heavens," the voice cried, as I felt a soft hand caressing my forehead. The voice didn't sound familiar, and the person bawling her eyes out in front of me was someone that I had never seen before, but by the way she dressed, I could tell that she was a maid.

"You're alive," she cried, covering her mouth with the palm of her hands while tears streamed down her smooth brown cheeks.
