The Queen's Back

Chapter 169

"Maxwell, apply the medicine first. I'll explain the reason later, Mona said,

At that moment, the skin on Mona's side waist was fully exposed to the air, and Maxwell's intense gaze on her, it felt a

bit awkward.

"Mm," Maxwell replied sofily.

He was worried that he might press too hard while applying the medicine and cause Mona pain. He instructed, "If I use too much strength later, you have to let me know."

Mona buried her head in the pillow and nodded gently.

Maxwell poured some of the medicine into his hand, rubbing it to warm it up before placing his palm on Mona's bruised back to begin applying it

He wanted to push the bruise away but was concerned that Mona might not be able to handle the pain. His grip fluctuated between light and heavy, making it difficult for him to find the right strength.

Maxwell's palm was warm, and Mona could feel the heat radiating from him. When he pressed down, the medicine stung sharply, making her side burn.

"Maxwell, hurry up, and don't touch me so randomly, Mona said, her face flushed.

She felt that Maxwell was not applying the medicine for her in a proper way.

I'm not touching anything inappropriate. I'm applying medicine seriously. Maxwell said.

When Mona did not say anything. Maxwell had not considered that aspect. However, once she spoke, his gaze instinctively shifted upward. Her skin was exceptionally smooth, white, and translucent like pearls, without a hint of excess fat, showcasing a graceful curve. It formed a stark contrast to the bruised skin below.
