The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 148

Alina's POV:

The magnificent palace was as cold as ice, and I felt it was freezing me to the bones. I lay on the bed and turned over in pain. A thick layer of gauze was wrapped around my neck. Rufus had strangled me so hard that my windpipe and gullet were both injured. So now, I could only eat some liquid food.

Queen Laura had sent her servants to call me many times, but I lied that I had a headache. I couldn't show myself to her. If she saw the bruises on my neck, she would definitely know that I was the one who danced with Rufus at the ball.

Although I knew that she was on my side, I wouldn't dare to gamble. It would be so embarrassing if she knew.

I didn't want Queen Laura to think that I was an idiot. I was afraid that she would throw me away. Besides, she just stood aside that day and didn't even defend or save me.

Thinking of this made me angry.

I heard the heavy door being pushed open, and Coco came in with the food cart.

I propped against the headboard. "What is today's food?"

"Pumpkin porridge." After saying this, Coco lowered her head, carefully took the porridge out, and put it in front of me.

"What? Pumpkin porridge again?" I took the spoon from Coco's hand and stirred the porridge in the bowl vigorously. "How many times have I eaten this thing?"

I was lying in the palace every day now, and I could not see anyone. My only hope was to eat something good. I didn't expect Coco to send me this cheap pumpkin porridge every day.

"But the doctor said that you can only have porridge for now."
