The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 319 Lie Down, I’ll Apply the Medicine for You

Neera was momentarily caught off guard, quickly standing up and instinctively taking a couple of steps back. “No, there’s no need…”

After all, the injury was on her lower back. That night, in a moment of confusion, she had lifted her clothes to let him examine the injury. However, now that she was completely clear–headed, it felt a bit inappropriate.

Furthermore, the injury was not even his fault…

Anticipating her thoughts, Jean furrowed his brow and spoke firmly, “Why are you so embarrassed? I’ve seen every inch of skin on your back. Since you’re injured, it’s important to treat it promptly.”

Neera was silent.

What is he saying?

Her face grew warm, a mixture of embarrassment and irritation causing her to glare at him, The intended fierceness in her gaze inadvertently took on a flirtatious quality. “It’s alright, it was just a minor bump, and it’s already much better.”

Jean brushed aside her polite refusal, his tone taking on a persistent undertone. “If it’s just a bruise, that’s good. It might be difficult for you to apply the medicine on your own. I can help you with that. That way, it’ll heal quicker.”

With that, he began to approach her once more.

Neera felt her cheeks burn, and she stumbled over her words in her flustered state. “No, really, you don’t need to do that…”

Seeing her continued resistance and sensing a certain vulnerability, Jean’s patience waned, and he decided to take a more direct approach, taking back what she said.
