Nathan monitored her condition. When it looked like the circulation had become normal, he stepped back, retracting all her power.
*Cough!*
*Cough!*
Khlina coughed hard, making Hgahuku panic.
But before he could open his mouth, Nathan said, "Calm your breath. Slow down. It's your new heart, so try to control your breathing first."
Khlina felt like there were thousands of ants crawling in her chest, but she endured it and gradually built a new rhythm. It was just a temporary one, but this was probably the first time she felt breathing was so easy.
"This…" Khlina coughed a few more times, but she looked surprised. Her complexion had also changed for the better. "Pardon me. I'm trying to hold back my cough."
"It's fine. It must be unbearable. It will settle down eventually."
"Y-Yes." Khlina took a deep breath. "Is this how… normal people breathe?"
"Well, you have to ask the others, not us." Nathan chuckled and finally walked back.
