The Queen's Back

Chapter 342

Mona asked Maxwell to turn around as she prepared the medicallon. She applied it to his bruises, saying, "You said it doesn't hurt, but you're all bruised. How could they be so cruel? Maxwell was it Gordon who captured you?" Ultimately, Mona's suspicion that was Gordon was just a guess and she couldn't be sure if she were right.

Maxwell nodded, feeling the pressure of Mona's hands as she applied the medication, occasionally sensing her breath against his back. "I didn't see Gordon, but they showed me daily photos of you being bullied by the imposter. They wanted me to see you lose your love for me and fall into despair. It has to be Gordon behind this."

Mona nodded as she continued to apply the medication, using a gentle touch to avoid causing him any pain. "He's evil, thinking he could marry me. I will never marry him!" she declared firmly.

Mona spoke angrily, unaware that Maxwell's expression had darkened at her words. He thought, 'Gordon Carter is truly despicable for thinking he could marry my wife. How infuriating He turned around, gently gripping Mona's chin as he said, "Mona, you need to remember what you just said: you will never consider marrying him at all."

Mona quickly kissed Maxwell on the cheek, smiling as she said, "Got it! I know how jealous you are." Then, leaning closer, she whispered in his ear, "Nothing happened between me and that imposter." Mona thought that either the imposter didn't like her or it was something Gordon had instructed. Maxwell's lips brushed against her earlobe as soon as the thought crossed her mind. "Yeah, that feels nice." In truth, even if something had happened between Mona and that impostor, it wouldn't change how he felt about her; he would only ensure that those who had bullied her faced the consequences they deserved. A tingling sensation spread throughout Mona's body, causing her to shiver slightly, but she couldn't push Maxwell away. It had been too long since they had been close, and she felt even more sensitive now.

She wrapped her arms around Maxwell's neck with the cotton swab in hand, thinking, 'This is so nice; Maxwell is here by my side.'

After a moment, Mona pulled away from Maxwell. "Turn around; I still need to finish applying the medicine!"

"Oh, okay!" Maxwell obediently turned around, presenting his back to Mona.

After a considerable amount of time, Mona finally finished applying the medicine to Maxwell. Fortunately, he only had injuries on his back and ankles, with no other areas affected.
