Ex-husband Unmasked He’s a Billionaire novel Chapter 342

"Yes, Ms. Jones!"

Peggy shuddered. She knew who Laura wanted to meet in Yrando. Hurriedly, she packed her stuff and boarded the private plane with Laura, flying toward Yrando.

…

"Does it still hurt here, Dakota?"

In the bedroom, Cameron carefully applied the medication on Dakota. His eyes flashed with concern and pain at the sight of the bruises on her arms and back.

Facing her back to him, Dakota shook her head. "No, it doesn't."

With Cameron by her side, happiness was all she felt despite the burning pain from her injuries.

"You silly lass." Aware that Dakota was silently tolerating the pain, he gently stroked the skin around the injury. Although he appeared calm, his heart was wrenching in pain.

"Hmph, you're the one who's silly." She wriggled her petite nose, her eyes gleaming brightly with an adorable, dreamy light.

Cameron took a deep breath and composed himself quickly. Gently, he spread the special balm on her bruises.

A burning pain emanated from her injury the moment the balm made contact. She winced but didn't make a sound.

From the way her body stiffened a little, Cameron reckoned that she was bearing the pain, and the guilt in his eyes deepened. "I'm sorry, Dakota. It's my fault—"

"Don't be stupid. It's not your fault. Aren't you a victim, too?" Dakota said gently.

"Phew…" A deep breath escaped Cameron's lips. If it had occurred to him earlier that the Zimmers were that scheming, Dakota wouldn't have to suffer so badly because of him.

"Cameron, I forbid you to be sad anymore!" Sensing that he was blaming himself, she suddenly spun around and gazed at him solemnly.

"That's the way to go!" Dakota smiled and turned around.

After composing himself, Cameron continued applying the balm on her.

Maybe it was because the conversation they just had had pumped strength into their hearts, or maybe the medication was beginning to work. Whatever it was, Dakota felt that the bruises on her body weren't hurting anymore.

Cameron was serious in his task at applying the medication on Dakota. However, he couldn't reach some because they were located at her lower back, which was covered by the skirt of her dress.

"Um… Dakota, there are a few bruises on your lower back… I think the skirt… has to be removed," his voice, tinged with embarrassment, echoed in the room.

Despite the fact that his relationship with her was more than friends, what he was about to do next was still a little intimate.

Upon hearing his words, Dakota quivered and closed her eyes. After taking a few breaths, she said with a flushed face, "Then… I'm sorry to trouble you."
