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.

As he watched, Maxwell's hand unconsciously halted, his eyes fixated on Mona's back..

He leaned down and pressed a kiss against her back.

When the softness of his lips made contact, Mona's back tensed, her face buried in the pillow, leaving her speechless.

After a long moment of stillness, Maxwell still had not resumed his movements. Unable to bear the tension, Mona asked, "Maxwell, have you finished applying the medicine?

Snapping back to reality, Maxwell replied softly, "It will be done soon.

As soon as he finished speaking, Maxwell continued to apply the medicine on Mona

After Maxwell finally finished applying the medicine to Mona, he helped her put down her clothes. Maxwell felt extremely tired and struggled to endure it.

Mona was the same. She was very shy, and Maxwell's gaze was too intense, like a burning fire about to consume her.

"Mona, it is done." As soon as Maxwell finished speaking, Mona took a phone from the pillow beside her and placed it in Maxwell's hand, enduring the pain in her body as she sat up. "This is probably my mother's phone, Maxwell Get someone to see if they can something. Mona explained

"So the wound on your waist came from your phone?" Maxwell sked subconsciously,

Mona nodded. "When I rolled down. I was afraid my phone would completely break, so I used my hand to protect it. That is why that area is more seriously injured. In fact, my hand was also badly hurt." "You must not do that again. Your body is more important than any so-called evidence, Maxwell said seriously as he looked into Mona's eyes.

God knew that his heart was in his throat when he saw Mona rolling down the stairs. When he saw her lying on the ground, sweat on her face from the pain, Maxwell felt that he hated himself.

It was because of this so-called phone that her back ended up like this. Maxwell was a little angry.

He did not know what he was angry about; he just did not want Mona to do this.

Mona saw some anger on Maxwell's face and knew that he was worried about her health. She quickly comforted him "Maxwell, look at me. I am fine. Do not worry.

"Do not be so impulsive next time, Maxwell's voice softened

Mona hurriedly nodded, like a student being taught by a teacher She was very obedient.

After saying that, Maxwell asked again, "Did Barbara push you down the stairs?"

She did not intend to hide anything from Maxwell. She said honestly, "She did not push me. I fell down on purpose."

As soon as Mona said this, she saw Maxwell's expression change, his brows furrowing tightly together..

She quickly grabbed Maxwell's hand and said aggrievedly, "If I had not fallen myself, Barbara would have fallen. Then, she would definitely frame me and say that I pushed her down. Coupled with what she said previously, I could not explain myself. I could only fall down myself and give her a taste of her own medicine."

It was just that the price was a little too high. It hurt so much.

"If you tell me, I will believe you. Do not do this next time, Mon. Remember, no matter what, your body and your life are the most important" Maxwell held Mona's hand.

No matter what Mona said to him, he would believe her. Then, he would find evidence for her. Mona did not need to do this

"Alright, I understand. I will not do this again. Do not feel bad. It does not hurt."

Before Mona could finish speaking. Maxwell lowered his head and kissed her lips, Slowly, the kiss blended with her breathing, giving him a moment of peace.

Mona looked up, accepting Maxwell's kiss. She nestled into his embrace, slowly comforting his emotions..

After the kiss, Maxwell lightly brushed his thumb over Mona's lips and said, "Mona, don't mess around with your body like that again. You're someone I can't lose."

If he had never known light, he could have lived in darkness forever. But after experiencing light for so long, how could he ever go back to living without it?

for you, Mona Mona nodded, knowing that his decision this time had been rash. At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and Jane's voice sounded outside. "Mona, Maxwell. Can I come in now? I made soup

"Sure, sure. Grandma, wait a minute. Mona quickly responded.

As Maxwell went to open the door, Mona quickly hid Emily's phone under her pillow. After she obtained the evidence, she

planned to tell Jane. She did not want to disappoint Jane if the phone was broken.

As soon as the door opened, Jane walked in with Barbara,

Barbara placed the soup on the bedside table and apologized, "Mona, I am sorry. It is all my fault for accidentally pushing you down the stairs. If you are angry at me, you can hit or scold the but do not ignore me. If that happens, I will not be able to take it." By the end of her words, Barbara's tears were almost flowing, her expression showing that she felt greatly wronged.
