Frank composed himself and applied more essence on his palm as he slowly and gently massaged it over Noel's back.
"Ah…" She frowned and gasped—the bruise on her back was larger than the rest, and Frank had accidentally touched a part that hurt.
"Bear with it. It'll be over soon," Frank said, directing liquid vigor to his fingers to clear the bruises.
In seconds, Noel gave in and moaned in a way that would lead thoughts astray.
All her pain was gone, replaced by a gentle warmth that comforted her exceedingly.
"Darling, I have a favor to ask…"
A familiar voice could suddenly be heard from the door, and none other than Vicky Turnbull herself strode in.
Frank and Noel both looked up at the same time, while Vicky trailed off.
The staring lasted for a moment between the trio, before the air around Vicky seemed to flare. She glared at Frank and Noel hostilely as she snapped, "What are you doing?!"
Forget a man and a woman being alone in a room—the woman only had her underwear on as she lifted her shirt, while the man was rubbing all over her back.
What else could it be about?!
"Ahem… Just, calm down, Vicky," Frank quickly said. "Noel had some bruises over her skin, so I'm treating her."
Even as he explained, he felt exceedingly guilty—even he would misunderstand seeing this.
That was when Vicky sighed. "It's not just me… Helen's feeling sick too."
Unable to tell what was wrong, Frank asked blankly, "What are you talking about?"
"What am I talking about?!" Vicky stood akimbo as she snapped exasperatedly and sarcastically, "Hah! Can't you see that we're both suffering from an unfaithful husband? The way I see it, you should just change your name to Don Juan!"
"Don Juan?" Frank raised a brow, smiling exasperatedly.
Honestly,Vicky was unhinged as ever—what was she even talking about? He was just helping Noel, not womanizing!
"Ms. Turnbull, you're really misunderstanding here." Noel leapt to Frank's defense, seeing that even Don Juan was mentioned. "He's just testing the longevity essence that he'll be using at the farm resort."
