Female Novel
Chapter 986
On the mountain, the campfires were still burning.
Two naked figures were lying on the ground.
The man was on the bottom while the woman was lying on top of him. Both had no clothes on, and
their positions were incredibly intimate.
Maxine could feel James’ lips against her cheek, and her face blushed red. She wanted to stand up but
could not move a muscle.
James was unable to move as well. He could only keep embracing Maxine. He could feel the warmth of
Maxine’s body.
Both of them were embarrassed by the situation and remained silent.
A sense of awkwardness filled the atmosphere.
Time passed by slowly.
The two stayed in the same pose for three hours.
After three hours, Maxine realized she could move and quickly jumped off James. Then, she picked up
her clothes and covered her body.
Her clothes were ripped and could not be worn anymore. She could only use the scraps to cover
herself slightly for the time being.
James got up and wanted to put his clothes on. However, he found that his clothes were shredded to
pieces. On top of that, he had severe injuries, and his treatment had been delayed treatment for three
hours. When he moved, his injuries were triggered, and he spat a mouthful of blood.
Maxine did not dare look at James.
However, when she heard the movements, she turned around. Seeing James vomiting blood, her
expression quickly changed. She held onto her torn clothes and promptly rushed over to James.
“Are you okay, James? How are you feeling?”
“I’ve sustained internal injuries and have to heal.”
Continuing to delay treatment would put James' life at risk.novelbin
He did not have the time to worry about being naked. Sitting in a lotus position, he quickly circulated his
True Energy to heal his wounds.
Maxine saw Crucifier around his arm and quickly said, “I can use Crucifier to help heal your wounds.”
“Okay.” James did not refuse. He waved his hand, and the wire slid off his hand. He picked it up and
touched it, causing the wire to scatter into needles.
Maxine was also from the Cadens and was proficient in medicine. However, she was unsure of where
James’ injuries were.
She asked, “Where do I insert them?”
“In my chest.”
“Okay.” Maxine did as he said.
She inserted seven to eight needles consecutively according to James’ instructions.
After the eighth needle, James showed signs of improvement.
Maxine put the needles away.
She moved aside and hugged her knees.
James looked at Maxine, who only had some parts of her body covered with scrap cloth. Noticing her
tearful expression, he apologized, “I’m sorry that you got dragged into this.”
Maxine shook her head. With a choked-up voice, she said, “It’s not your fault. Mr. Gabriel intended to
frame me. He wanted to destroy the relationship between the Cadens and the Blithes. Ah… What do I
do? What am I going to do when I return to the Capital? Grandpa is going to beat me to death!” Maxine
cried.
She looked like a little girl who had been wronged.
James frowned. He thought for a moment and said, “I’ll explain things to Tobias.”
“It’s useless. Even if grandpa believed us, the Blithes would never. Madelyn would surely leak the
photos she took.” Maxine shook her head vigorously.
James said, “We’re innocent. We were framed. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
“You don’t understand! Reputation is the most important thing to ancient martial families! If Madelyn
shared the photos, I’d be ruined! The Blithes wouldn’t want this marriage, and Grandpa’s plan would be
ruined! The Cadens would be thrown into hell, and grandpa would never forgive me!” Maxine sobbed
softly.
James sat opposite her.
Maxine had always seemed like an all-powerful individual to him.
However, at this moment, she looked helpless.
James sighed.
“I-Is there anything I can do to help?”
