The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher) novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119 

Evan calmed down immediately after hearing Cecilia’s question. 

“Ceci, you know discipline. There are some things I can’t say, but you can rest assured that you are not alone.” 

Cecilia had always known. 

A smile appeared on her face again, “Evan, you have arranged everything. Don’t worry about me.” 

“No matter how well I arrange things, there will be some omissions, and you only have one life!” 

“Who said that? I have nine lives and can turn misfortune into good fortune!” 

Cecilia had come close to death many times, but she always survived. 

If she were in front of him, Evan would definitely flick her on the forehead and tell her, “You have already lost eight lives. You should cherish the last one.” 

But they were thousands of miles away, so he could only say to the phone, “Be careful no matter what.” 

“Don’t worry. My life has just begun. I will live well.” 

Evan noticed the joy in Cecilia’s tone and asked in surprise, “Ceci, your illness…” 

“I feel much better. I’ll go back to Acocester in about half a month and see Dr. Jayne.” 

“Is it because of Christopher?” 

Cecilia gave a hum of acknowledgment. 

Evan, who was always serious, smiled and said, “Ceci, I’m glad you were able to find the right person.” 

He had been worried that Cecilia would live alone for the rest

of her life, but now she became the first person in the Shaw family to get married. 

“Evan, don’t be so engrossed in your work. It’s time for you to think about marriage.” 

Hearing this, Evan immediately diverted the question to someone else. 

“You should tell that to Aiden. He’s 33 years old and still single.” 

Cecilia stuck out her tongue and said, “I dare not. I’m afraid of Aiden the most. You tell him.” 

“He is my boss. I’d be more afraid than you. By the way, how is the Yancey family treating you now?” 

“They regret it and want me to go back.” 

“So, what are you going to do?” 

“Evan, you know me. I won’t forgive those who hurt me.” 

Evan chuckled and said, “You can do whatever you want. Anyway, it’s not like you don’t have a family.” 

They casually chatted for a while more before hanging up. 

Cecilia lay on the sofa and sorted out what had happened recently. 

After clearing her head, she sat up and called the keeper of the herb plantation in the countryside. 

Although she had sold the herb plantation to Jonathan and also gave him the workers in charge of growing the herbs, the workers still listened to her as she was the one who personally trained them. 

The phone was quickly answered, and a mature man’s joyful voice came through the speaker. 

“Good evening, Ms. Yancey.” 

Cecilia said in a business–like tone, “Mr. Fraser, good evening. How is everyone? Are you all okay?”

“Everything is fine. After you sold the herb plantation, our new employer treated us well and raised our wages. It was just that the herbs would soon be out of season. If they aren’t sold soon, their efficacy would be greatly reduced.” 

Alexander Fraser knew that herbs were precious and difficult to cultivate, so he didn’t want such good herbs to go to waste like this. 

“I’m calling to talk about that. You call the new owner and tell him about this. Make the situation sound more serious, and I will take care of the rest.” 

“Okay, Ms. Yancey.” 

After hanging up, Alexander called Jonathan’s assistant. 

He actually called every other day regarding this issue, but they always told him to wait. 

He thought today’s result would be the same, but he didn’t expect the other party to say, “The herb plantation will soon be returned to Cecilia. You can call her and ask her to deal with it.” When Alexander relayed this to Cecilia, she was not surprised. The Yancey family felt that they owed her, so they would definitely try their best to treat her well and make up for the damage they had done. 

But she didn’t need it! 

So after getting back the herb plantation, she planned to sell it to a herb seller at half price and donate the money to a charity foundation. 

When Cecilia woke up the next day, she checked her phone immediately and found that the hospital had sent her a message in the middle of the night. 

“Juliana is out of the operating room but is still in a critical state. I have done as you asked.” 

She replied with satisfaction: [Okay, I’ll speak to the neurology

professor with the highest authority in the country. You can take your sick husband to a consultation tomorrow.] 

When Cecilia finished washing up, she received a reply. 

It read: [Thank you.] 

Cecilia deleted the message, changed her clothes, and prepared to make breakfast. 

As soon as she got to the kitchen, there was a knock on the door of her condominium. 

She thought it was Christopher, but it turned out to be his bodyguard carrying several breakfast bags. 

“Ms. Yancey, Mr. Christopher Forte asked me to buy these. I also bought the sandwich from your favorite shop.” 

The last accident didn’t affect the sandwich shop. The boss closed the shop for only one day. 

Cecilia took the breakfast and asked, “Would you like to come in and have a bite?” 

The bodyguard immediately stepped back and said, “Ms. Yancey, we’ve already eaten.” 

They didn’t dare to be in close proximity to Christopher’s 

woman. 

Cecilia didn’t force them to come in. After finishing breakfast, she gave Christopher a call. 

As soon as the call connected, it was picked up. 

“Your body needs rest. Why did you wake up so early?” 

Christopher had no habit of sleeping in. He woke up at dawn and was having breakfast. 

“My wound is much better after applying your medicine. Have you eaten breakfast?” 

“I’m eating it right now. Thank you.” 

“There’s no need to say thank you between us. Today is your
