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 showeddaily photos of you being bullied by the imposter. They wantedto see you lose your love forand 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 betweenand 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.

As she reflected on it, she realized that when those people attacked him, he must have crouched down to protect his head, which explained why the injuries were concentrated on his back It was already late, with only a few hours left until dawn. Mona lay nestled in Maxwell's arms in the double bed, the two sharing whispers. From Maxwell, Mona learned that after Haley and the others entered, the guards watching him had all fallen asleep. Once inside, Haley had been trying to find a way to remove the chains from his ankles. The guards didn't have any keys on them, suggesting that they had hidden them after Maxwell's escape attempt yesterday, Maxwell wanted them to leave and return the next day with the necessary tools to rescue him, but Haley was unwilling to leave, insisting that Mona was waiting for them at the door. So, they searched the villa and found a pair of pliers to cut the chains from his ankles, which caused a delay.

He gently stroked Mona's soft hair and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry." 1/3 Chapter 342- 65%0 Mona nodded in Maxwell's canbrace, tightening her hold around his waist as she felt his warmth. "Yeah, I was worried. I was afraid Haley and the others wouldn't be able to get you out or that you wouldn't be in this villa. I wouldn't have known what to do or where to look for you" "I'll be more careful about my safety in the future and try not to make you worry, Maxwell reassured.

"Then tellhow Gordon let that imposter replace you," Mona aid.

Maxwell recalled feeling disoriented right after his car accident in the operating room, he saw someone who looked exactly like him. Thinking back, he realized he had encountered the inposter during his early days in Welintern, but he hadn't paid much attention, assuming it was just an illusion.

When Maxwell regained consciousness later, he found himself in a basement, chained up, with just enough length to reach the door. He overheard the guards mentioning that Mona was already with the imposter.

At that time, Maxwell didn't understand the significance of that statement. However, as each day passed, he would watch videos of Mona in which another person looked exactly like him. From their conversations, he realized that this other version of himself had amnesia, and Mona hadn't recognized him.

Maxwell saw how the imposter continuously hurt Mona's feelings as tpassed. He realized he couldn't just sit by and let this happen, which led to his escape attempt yesterday.

Reflecting on it now, he understood that Gordon wanted Mona to lose faith in him and seek a divorce, intending to make them suffer. Fortunately, Mona could see through the ruse and recognize that the other Maxwell was an imposter.

After hearing what Maxwell said, Mona felt a lump in her throat. She held onto his waist tighter, understanding without him having to say that he had been through an adamant tduring their separation.

"Honey, I never want to be apart from you again," Mona said softly, feeling the security Maxwell had given her.

Maxwell gently pinched Mona's earlobe, his breath brushing against her neck as he said, "Darling, I don't want to be apart from you either." He intended to continue with his plans, ensuring that the Carter Group would no longer be present in Nathontown, eliminating any power Gordon had to challenge him.

Mona looked up and met Maxwell's gaze. His eyes sparkled like stars, making her heart race Before she' realized it, her soft soft lips pressed against his. Their breaths mingled, and she felt that familiar closeness with him again after a long time.

Maxwell's lips felt as soft as she remembered, surrounded by his Okept clean scent, making Mona's heart race even faster. A gentle smile crept onto her lips; it had been so long since she felt this happy. Having Maxwell by her side again felt so right. The kiss was long and tender.

Maxwell's strong hand cradled Mona's head, deepening the kiss slowly. When they finally pulled away, Mona buried her face in Maxwell's neck, feeling an overwhelming softness in her heart. Maxwell let Mona rest on his arm, a smile gracing his face in the darkness. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's sleep; we have much to take care of tomorrow." Maxwell gently covered Mona's eyes with his long, slender fingers as he spoke. She gradually fell asleep in his embrace, her breaths steady and peaceful.

He unconsciously tightened his arm around her, cherishing having her by his side e again, It felt so good-no one knew the worry and fear consumed him during those days apart.
