Chapter 15 It hurts!

She tiptoed, careful not to make any loud noises. In fact, Charles was pretending to be asleep. They didn't go back as a couple, and he couldn't rest assured. Now that Remington brought Sophia back, he could finally sleep peacefully.
During the fight earlier, Sophia was hit on the back with a chair. It hurt on her back while taking a shower. After showering, she applied some medicine in the bathroom.
There were parts she couldn't reach, so she returned to the bedroom and closed the door.
Seeing Remington lying on the floor, ready to sleep, made her feel a bit embarrassed. "Um, Remington, can you help me apply the medicine? It's...on my back, and I can't reach it."
Remington frowned.
"If it's not convenient, I can manage without it," Sophia was also afraid that it would be too awkward to take off her clothes.
She had never taken off her clothes in front of a man. Even if this person is her husband on the marriage certificate, she would still feel a bit embarrassed.
"Come here," Remington sat up and patted the spot in front of him, indicating for her to sit in front of him.
"Oh," Sophia walked over and sat down. "Sorry for the trouble."
Remington looked at her beautiful and slender figure from behind. She had just taken a shower, her long hair was tied into a bun on top of her head, revealing her fair and beautiful neck like that of a swan.
Remington dared not look directly at her, avoiding eye contact, "Take off your clothes!"
"Huh?" Sophia was a bit slow to react.
Remington still couldn't look at her beautiful neck, "If you don't take off your clothes, how can I apply medicine to you?"
Sophia responded with an "oh" before unbuttoning her pajamas in front of her.
She didn't hesitate or act coy, she just needed him to apply some medicine, there was no need to make a big fuss about it. After overcoming a certain awkwardness in her heart, she confidently pulled down the open pajamas from her shoulders.
A fair and delicate back immediately appeared in front of Remington.
Because there were still two straps, those black straps contrasted with her skin, making it even more fair and smooth like jade. Her two slender and well-shaped shoulder blades also highlighted her butterfly-like collarbones, as if they could sprout a pair of angelic wings, enchanting and captivating.
Absolutely stunning!
Remington was not a saint. He couldn't completely ignore such beauty without any desire or longing. The slender and fair waist she revealed last night had tormented him the whole night, causing him to lose sleep.
Now, this fair and beautiful back made it difficult for him to remain calm. A man with normal desires and wishes couldn't truly ignore such stunning beauty. His breathing became slightly faster.
However, he had good self-control and maintained a calm expression, "The wound is below the strap, so the strap needs to be undone."
"Oh." Sophia only felt a burning pain on her back.
As if her skin had been torn off, it was extremely painful.
As she unbuttoned, she asked, "How bad is the injury?"
Remington looked at her somewhat clumsy movements and glanced at her wound, "A large area of skin was torn and the wound is a bit deep. If it's not treated, it might get infected."
No wonder it hurts so much!
When she was fighting, she was hit by a chair while protecting Lilly. After the chair broke, it was ruthlessly smashed on her back a few times. It would be strange if there were no wounds. When she reached behind her to unbutton, she felt a sharp pain in her arm, pulling at the wound on her back. Her movements naturally slowed down.
Trying to exert force, but unable to, she said while exerting force, "Those bunch of thugs were so arrogant. They dared to harass a nursing woman in broad daylight. I wonder how they would treat women if no one was around."
"Your friend was harassed?" Remington asked, "I thought it was you who was being harassed."
Sophia mocked herself, "No. I'm so thin, I don't have much flesh on my body."
"Not good-looking, probably not up to their standards. Unlike Lilly, who gained some weight after giving birth, just right, quite plump."
"Who said you're not good-looking, you're quite beautiful."
On this point, Remington did not deny. Sophia didn't say anything more. It wasn't the first time she had been praised for her looks. But hearing it from Remington's mouth felt a bit awkward.
Her back was too sore and she couldn't undo the strap hooks.
"You move like a turtle." Remington reached out and gently undid her strap.
"Hiss…" But his movements were fast and rough, and she felt a sharp pain.
"Does it hurt that much?" Remington didn't know, but after the strap hook cut her wound, it felt like being cut with a knife.
“He really doesn't have any pity for me!” She muttered to herself in her heart. But said, "It's fine, it doesn't hurt that much, can you help me apply some ointment?"
She didn't dare to be melodramatic. She had never been melodramatic with anyone before.
From childhood to adulthood, no one cared for her. Her mother left her to remarry, her father later went to work in another city and married another woman, leaving her with her grandmother.
Her grandmother resented her for being a girl, reluctantly took care of her, never showing her a good expression, giving her food, but it was like feeding a dog.
She gritted her teeth and endured. In reality, when the disinfectant wiped across the wound, she trembled with pain, but she didn't dare to tremble. She endured it without a sound, and her body became tense.
Remington felt her tense muscles and stopped his movements, "Does it hurt?"
"Not at all." Sophia gritted her teeth and shook her head.
Remington knew it hurt, she just endured it, and he said irritably, "If it hurts, just endure it. Who goes out for barbecue in the middle of the night? If you don't want this to happen again, don't go out so late."
She knew it was troublesome to call him out in the middle of the night. He was a little angry, and that was understandable.
She apologized again, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
When she said these polite words, she looked a bit pitiful, and Remington's tone wasn't as harsh, "Just endure a bit more."
He took a new cotton swab and dipped it in some disinfectant. This time, his movements became gentler and slower. Sophia clearly felt his tenderness and carefulness. In fact, this man wasn't as cold as he looked, he knew how to care for people!
Having someone to live with definitely beat being alone before.
At least when she got hurt, there would be someone to help with applying ointment. It seems that getting married was not a wrong decision.
"I've applied the disinfectant." Remington asked, "Do you have any anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medicine? I'll apply some more for you, disinfecting alone won't be enough."
"Check the box where the disinfectant is stored, there should be a bottle of Ecchymosis, it should be effective for relieving inflammation and pain."
Sophia still had her back to him.
Remington looked in the box, "No, it's not here."
"Look again, I put it in there together,"
"It's not here." Remington searched again. Sophia frowned.
Strange, it was clearly put in together. In a hurry, she turned around and looked through the medicine box, not realizing that she wasn't wearing a shirt at the moment. Her perfect and sexy upper body was fully exposed in front of Remington. Remington saw something he shouldn't have seen. The fragrant and exquisite bosom, with its incredible elasticity, was swaying in front of him.
It seemed to grip his brain and consciousness, leaving him unable to avoid staring intently.
It's a man's nature to be attracted. But he wasn't a pervert. Even though his eyes showed a certain primitive attraction, his gaze remained gentlemanly. Sophia quickly realized that he had seen her completely exposed, and quickly turned around. The embarrassment was not insignificant. This was the first time she had been seen topless by a man. But what's the use of being coy? The man in front of her was her husband according to their marriage certificate. If he saw her, so be it. After all, she had asked him to help apply the medicine.
"I'm sorry!" Remington was also very polite.
Sophia tugged at the stray hair by her ear, "It's fine."
