Chapter 669 Applying Medicine for Her
Chapter 669 Applying Medicine for Her
Laura threw him a bitter glare.
“Oh, you have the nerve to mention that?”
Max smiled. He reached out and tenderly caressed the wound on the corner of her mouth, then said,
“Sorry. I was too excited last night. I’ll take you to see a doctor.”
Laura’s face turned redder when she heard she would go see a doctor.
Through clenched teeth, she yelled, “Shut up! I won’t go. You go if you want!”
To Max, Laura’s angry look was not threatening but sexy.
He felt that the desire he tried to repress was surging up again.
To prevent himself from doing anything out of line to Laura again, Max quickly changed the subject.
“We’ll go back this afternoon. Do you have any more places you wanna visit before we leave?”
Laura deliberated for moments. She had finally had a day off. She just hoped to stay in the room and
sleep instead of going out.
What was more, after what Max did to her in bed last night, every part of her body was sore today. She
didn’t have the strength to go out for sightseeing.
Therefore, she shook her head.
Max didn’t press her to go out then. After confirming their return time, they had lunch and went home.
The servants were all there when they got back to Orchid Villa.
Laura didn’t get enough sleep last night. Thus, she went to her room to sleep as soon as she was back.
Max had work to do in the afternoon, so he went off to the company.
Laura didn’t sleep tight in the afternoon. She woke up several times. But she lied in bed for a long time
and didn’t fully wake up until seven o’clock in the evening.
Daytime was longer than nighttime in the summer. Thus, though it was seven in the evening, it was not
completely dark outside.
After waking up, Laura squinted, got out of bed, and drew the drapes. Seeing the view outside at dusk,
she stretched her body a little.
Her stomach growled. Then, she found she was starving.
She changed and then went downstairs. Just then, she saw Max coming back from outside.
She glanced at the clock on the wall and asked, “Why did you come back so late?”
Max went out soon after they returned at two in the afternoon. But why did he spend hours dealing with
a little bit of work?
Max looked at her and said, “I could have been back by six. But I went to buy something on my way
home.”
As he spoke, he changed into slippers and walked over. He then grabbed her and pushed her into the
bedroom.
Laura knitted her brows with discontent. “What’re you doing? I’m hungry. I want dinner.”
Max said to her, “Just wait. Trust me. I’ll be quick.”
Thus, Laura was forced to go back into the bedroom.
She thought Max was planning to do it with her again. But he fished out an ointment from his pocket.
On a closer look, she found that it was exactly the kind that could heal the wound on the corner of her
mouth!
Her face instantly turned tomato red. She looked up at Max, who was wearing a smile. Then, Max
explained patiently, “I went to a doctor in St. Peter's Hospital to get this. It’s said that it’s very effective.
Your wound will heal after you apply this. It will no longer hurt when you have dinner in a moment.”
Laura balled her hands and snarled through gritted teeth, “Max Nixon!”
To not irk her, Max hurriedly said soothingly, “Sorry, I’m sorry. It’s all my bad. I lost control of myself for
a moment. But there won’t be a next time. I promise.”
Laura couldn’t object. She thought of how she grimaced with pain at lunch today, so she let Max apply
it to her wound.
The ointment had no strong smell. It felt pleasantly cool on her skin.
Then, she went to look into the mirror, but she noticed nothing on her mouth. It seemed that the
ointment melted as soon as it was applied. That was good.
No one would notice her wound now, so she wouldn’t be mortified.
With that in mind, she didn’t complain. After applying the medicine, she went downstairs with Max for
dinner.
It was nicely prepared. Max specially called the cook to make some healthy food before he came back.
Therefore, all the dishes on the table were lightly seasoned.
Laura didn’t know why all the food was so light at first. But later, Mrs. Rowling came to serve a salad
and said to her with a smile, “Mrs. Nixon, vegetables are good for your health. You should eat more.”
Laura was stunned. She looked at Mrs. Rowling in bewilderment.
She thought to herself, “Since when do I have to watch out for my health?
But soon, she thought of one possible explanation.
She subconsciously lifted her hand to touch the wound on the corner of her mouth. Then, she turned to
look at Max, who was biting his lip to prevent himself from laughing out loud. She immediately cottoned
on.
A look of rage fleeted her face. But with Mrs. Rowling here, she didn’t have the face to lose her temper.
At last, she just snorted heavily and said, “I see. Thank you, Mrs. Rowling.”
Mrs. Rowling went off with satisfaction. Soon, the bitter gourd was served.
Looking at the man before him, Laura smiled sinisterly and remarked, “Max, you should eat some more
veggies too.”
Max instantly froze.
Everyone knew he hated vegetables.
Looking at them, he smiled wryly and said, “Honey, I don’t think I need them.”
“You do! You've got bad breath. You have pimples.”
Max didn’t know what to say.
Mrs. Rowling and the other servants on the side tried so hard not to laugh.
“Never knew Mrs. Nixon cared about her husband so much. She’s even noticed those details.
“They’re truly a couple in love.”
However, Max felt wronged.
“When have I had any of those things? She’s making things up!”
However, seeing Laura’s menacing eyes, he didn’t dare to say or ask anything.
He had to reap what he sowed.
In the end, almost all veggies entered Max’s stomach.
It was so bitter that Max hurriedly took several bites of watermelon after eating that dish.
Seeing Max frown deeply after tasting the bitter gourd, Laura finally felt her sullenness recede.
The next day was her last day off.
She thought about how she would spend the day. Since there was nothing else, she asked Natalia to
go shopping with her.
Natalia was very busy lately. But this day, she finally had some leisure time.
Since Victoria’s new movie was about to be released, she had been busy with the promotion of the
movie, so she had not spent time with Laura recently.
But Laura happened to call her when she finally had time. Thus, she agreed to go shopping together.
The two went to Central Square and each bought several new outfits.
There were several brand-name stores that celebrities liked to visit. Laura had had her eye on a dress.
Just as she grabbed it and planned to go to the fitting room, Natalia’s phone rang all of a sudden.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
