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.
