The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher) novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197 

Cecilia didn’t recognize the doctor, but she knew his identity from his name tag

She immediately got up and asked anxiously, Are there any abnormalities in the blood panel and liver and kidney function tests?” 

The doctor handed the test reports to Cecilia and said in a deep voice, The hematopoietic function is abnormal, and the quantity of aminotransferase is higher than normal.” 

pyruvate 

In other words, Christopher was not only poisoned, but it also caused damage to the liver

The doctor didn’t know that Cecilia had medical knowledge. Hence, he was about to explain it in layman’s terms when she asked, Have you found out what the poison is?” 

Not yet. Further detailed tests are underway, and the results will not be available until evening at the earliest.” 

Okay, I see. Thank you.” 

Before the doctor left, he handed his business card to Cecilia

If you have any questions or doubts, please feel free to contact me.” 

Cecilia took the business card and said, Okay. Thank you.” 

After the doctor left, Elaine comforted her immediately, Ceci, don’t worry. Once Christopher leaves the operating room, we will transfer him to the military hospital. It’s not only equipped with advanced equipment but also has the leading doctors in Clusia. We will definitely cure Christopher.” 

Thank you, Grandma Elaine. Then I shall look through the test reports 

first.” 

Okay, take your time.” 

As soon as Elaine finished speaking, Cecilia remembered something

She took a sealed bag out of her pocket

The bag contained cotton balls stained with Christopher’s blood

She handed the sealed bag to the butler. Bruce, please go to the military hospital and send this to the laboratory for a detailed toxicology test.” 

The butler took it respectfully and said, Yes, Ms. Yancey.”

After saying that, he told Elaine his assigned task and left the hospital. Seeing Elaine’s tired expression, Cecilia said, Grandma Elaine, you are not in good health. Why don’t you wait at home?” 

I’ll only be even more anxious if I go back to wait. How about you tell me about you and Christopher instead?” 

Cecilia knew that Elaine was trying to distract her, so she nodded

Grandma Elaine, Christopher and I are truly fated” 

She talked about her first acquaintance with Christopher in Erihal, how she met him again after joining the Peacekeeping Forces, and what they had done since her return to the Yancey family

Elaine was surprised

Ceci, I didn’t expect that you not only met Christopher but also saved him when you were still in the assassin organization.” 

She knew that Christopher had been an instructor for Cecilia

After all, she had done an extensive background search on him because of Cecilia

But she didn’t know that they had met each other when they were children. The two really were fated

The mention of her past had Cecilia smiling. I guess you could say Christopher and I saved each other.” 

At that time, she saved Christopher’s life, but he also rescued her from hell

Elaine held Cecilia’s hand and patted it gently

I know that Christopher is a good man and is someone worthy of entrusting the rest of your life to, but I still want to test him. Now that I know your past together, I have decided not to make things difficult for him. It wasn’t easy for you to get together. Promise me you’ll be happy.” 

Cecilia nodded. Thank you, Grandma Elaine. If it wasn’t for Christopher today, I would have been poisoned.” 

Elaine didn’t know all the details of the major accident

Hence, upon hearing Cecilia’s words, she asked anxiously, What exactly happened?” 

Just as Cecilia was about to answer, the door of the operating room opened

Grandma Elaine, I’ll tell you about it later. Let’s find out Christopher’s condition first.” 

Then, she got up from the lounge chair and stepped toward the sweaty 

surgeon

Doctor, how is Christopher?” 

The doctor took off his surgical mask and said, The patient is not in lifethreatening danger for the time being, but he is too seriously injured. He may have a high fever at any time due to his wounds getting inflamed, which will then cause his condition to deteriorate. He needs to be sent to the ICU for observation for several days.” 

When will he wake up? Can I transfer him to another hospital now?” 

The doctor was stunned for a moment before he replied, If the patient’s condition doesn’t worsen, he should wake up tomorrow morning. But it’s hard to say because several of his tests are not good.” 

After saying that, he answered her second question of whether it was okay to transfer Christopher

According to the patient’s current condition, he can be transferred to another hospital, but everything will need to be properly disinfected, and he needs to be in a sterile environment when transferring to avoid bacterial infection of his wounds.” 

Okay, I see. Thank you.” 

The doctor said, If you want to transfer him to another hospital, it’s best to do so now. Otherwise, it will be harmful and unfavorable to the patient’s recovery.” 

Cecilia nodded. Okay, I’ll arrange it now.” 

Half an hour later, Christopher was transferred to the military hospital and admitted to the best sterile ward, attended by professional nurses

Christopher’s bodyguards were also transferred to the hospital, but they were admitted to the general ward

Although it was the general ward, they were given the slightly better double rooms

Ten bodyguards were seriously wounded, occupying exactly five rooms. Meanwhile, Cecilia stood outside the sterile ward and looked through the glass at the pale man with various instruments connected to his body. Her eyes were full of worry

Elaine walked over to her and said, Ceci, don’t worry. Christopher has professionals looking after him. He will be fine. Why don’t you come home with me first?” 

Thinking that Christopher would not wake up today, Cecilia nodded and agreed. Okay, let’s go home.” 

Before returning to the Shaw residence, she went to the police station to reclaim her giftladen car

The modified car had remarkable endurance. Even after being in such a serious accident, there was no damage, only some paint peeling off

Sitting in the car, Cecilia looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar street views on both sides of the street and said, Acocester has changed a lot.”
