The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher) novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207 

Cecilia stood by the window and looked at the dark night, frowning slightly. 

“It’s not a known poison. Is it easy to cure?” she asked. 

The head of the laboratory said, “I can’t give you an accurate answer because the poison is unknown. I can only do my best to do the detoxification experiment and cure the patient as soon as possible.” The official answer was not satisfactory to Cecilia. 

This was because Christopher’s body was deteriorating. If he was not detoxified soon, it would cause irreversible damage to his body and may be life–threatening. 

“Send me the toxicological test report and detoxification experiment data together.” 

“Ms. Yancey, this… I can’t decide.” 

“I’ll ask Grandma Elaine to contact the director. You will receive an 

instruction soon.” 

“Okay, I’ll arrange the detoxification experiment first.” 

After the call, Cecilia went to Elaine’s room. 

Seeing that Elaine was not there, she went to the living room again. 

Elaine was washing the raspberries, but she did not eat any. There was a small plate with cute and fresh raspberries beside her. 

Cecilia walked over quickly and asked, “Grandma Elaine, why don’t you rest but deal with the raspberries here?” 

“Zachary gave it to me to cool down my body temperature. Come and have a try.” 

“You can eat it. I’ll peel it.” 

“There are only a few left. I can do it myself. When Charlie was young. he always picked raspberries for me to eat and even made me jam.” 

Hearing this, Cecilia withdrew her hand and asked tentatively, “Grandma Elaine, do you think Charlie is still alive?” 

She did not tell Elaine that Zachary was Charlie because she wasn’t sure whether he was an enemy or a friend. 

Elaine washed the last raspberry.

“I hope he is alive,” she said. 

By implication, Elaine had no hope that Charlie was still alive. 

She knew very well that since he fell into the hands of those demons, there was a low chance of Charlie surviving because they had no reason to keep him alive. 

Elaine pushed the small plate with raspberries to Cecilia. “Ceci, why did you suddenly mention Charlie?” 

“I thought of Charlie when I saw Zachary today.” 

As Cecilia said it, she took a raspberry and ate it. It was really sweet. 

She did not dare to say more. Worried that Elaine would notice something, she immediately changed the topic. 

“Grandma Elaine, the toxicology test result from the hospital has been obtained. The hospital can’t detoxify Chris for the time being. I want to follow up on the progress of the detoxification experiment from time to time. Can you call the director to notify the laboratory?” 

Elaine looked worried. “Is that poisonous? Is Christopher going to be all right?” 

“Grandma Elaine, don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to him.” 

“Then I’m relieved.” 

After saying that, Elaine immediately called the director of the military hospital. 

The director agreed. 

Soon, Cecilia received a login account from the laboratory and could check the progress of the detoxification experiment at any time. 

She could not wait to have a look and said, “Grandma Elaine, let me help you go back to your room.” 

Elaine knew that Cecilia was worried about Christopher, so she patted Cecilia’s hand. 

“I slept for a long time in the afternoon, so I’m not sleepy now. Don’t worry about me. Go to work.” 

“Okay. You are not well. Don’t stay up too late.” 

“Don’t worry. With the butler and housekeeper watching, I won’t be able to sleep late.” 

After saying that, Elaine remembered something. “Ceci, did you find out 

anything when you tested Zachary before” 

It was a critical time now. Elaine had to keep an eye on everyone except her own family. 

“He is not a trustworthy guy. He said that he liked me, so he went back to Acocester. He also asked me to expand his pharmaceutical company with him. I almost beat him up again.” 

“Do you think he’s telling the truth?” 

Cecilia shook her head affirmatively. “No. When he mentioned the pharmaceutical company, he said there was a powerful pharmacologist in his company who could save Chris. It is strange.” 

There were surveillance cameras everywhere in the Shaw residence, so there was no need for Cecilia to hide the conversation with Zachary. 

As for their communication with Morse code on the stone table, they were covered by their bodies at that time and would not be recorded. 

Elaine also felt that there was something wrong with Zachary. 

“Ceci, don’t risk yourself just to test Zachary, okay?” 

Looking at Elaine’s serious eyes, Cecilia promised, “Grandma Elaine, don’t worry. I will protect myself. I’ll go back to my room first.” 

“Go ahead. Don’t work too late and exhaust yourself.” 

After Cecilia went back to her room, she immediately checked the toxicological test report sent by the head of the laboratory. 

As soon as she read the beginning, a sentence written by Charlie in Morse code came to her mind: [If you want to save Christopher, trust me.] 

Cecilia thought, “Trust?” 

Of course, she did not believe Charlie now. 

However, Charlie was indeed a shortcut to save Christopher, and she should not miss this chance. 

Thinking of this, Cecilia stopped reading the report but called Evan. 

At this time, Evan was still checking vehicles on the highway. 

His eyes were dry with bloodshot. 

The familiar ringtone of his phone rang, which diverted his attention. He immediately went to the side and answered it. 

“Ceci, what’s the urgency of calling me so late?”
