The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher) novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223 

Knowing that her parents had misunderstood, Yvette hurriedly explained, “Dad, Mom, what are you thinking? It’s not that scumbag, Jayden, who saved me but Cecilia’s third elder brother from her adoptive family.” 

Yvette did not know it in specific, but she had coincidentally met Cecilia’s brother once before, and thus Cecilia had talked about him briefly to her. 

Justin and Selene were greatly surprised. They did not expect that the person who had saved Yvette was Cecilia’s elder brother from her adoptive family. 

Selene asked, “Yvie, do you know Cecilia’s brother?” 

“I met him once before. I was planning to pursue him, but he has a girlfriend.” Then, she asked worriedly, “Dad, Mom, how is her brother now? Did he get hurt?” 

Annoyed, Justin said, “Why do you keep mentioning the word ‘brother‘? Doesn’t he have a name?” 

He thought that it would be dangerous to get too close to Cecilia, so he did not want Yvette to have anything to do with the people around Cecilia. 

As for Evan’s life–saving favor, Justin thought to repay in other ways. He would not let Yvette get involved in it! 

Yvette knew what Justin was worried about. 

She said, “Dad, if it weren’t for her brother, I would have been already dead. Also, I would have died long ago if it weren’t for Ceci. Besides, I don’t know his name, so I can only address him as her brother.” 

After hearing her words, Justin and Selene were left speechless. 

Selene sighed and explained, “Yvie, your dad and I are not

ungrateful. We just don’t want anything to happen to you again.” “Mom, I know what you’re worried about. I am not a shameless. person. I will never take advantage of his life–saving favor to pester him. I just want to know how he is.” 

Yvette did not have a clear memory of her fall from the building. 

She was so desperate that she just wanted to die. 

Plus, she had excessive bleeding and was half unconscious at that time. 

She only remembered that she had used all her strength to move herself and fell from the building. Afterward, she was pulled into the arms of the man she liked. 

There was no perfume on him but only the faint scent of soap. It smelled fresh and pleasant. 

His embrace was warm, and his body was hard, which made her feel a little pain bumping into it. 

At that thought, Yvette blushed uncontrollably and showed a trace of shyness like a young girl. 

To her, the fact that she could have close contact with the person she liked could be regarded as a perfect end to her first love that had ended before it began. 

When Justin and Selene saw Yvette acting like a cat in heat, their expression darkened. 

They naturally believed in Yvette’s character and knew she would not be a third wheel in others‘ relationships. But they were afraid that she would get stuck in an impossible love and not be able to get out of it. 

Justin cleared his throat gently to pull Yvette’s senses back. Then, he said, “Yvie, being in the police force is a dangerous career. Even if Cecilia’s brother doesn’t have a girlfriend, your

mom and I won’t allow you to be with him.” 

He had said that to dispel Yvette’s thoughts completely. 

But after hearing that, Yvette suddenly made a decision that surprised Justin and Selene. 

“Dad and Mom, I want to suspend from school and enlist in the army.” 

As a college student, she could apply for suspension of schooling and join the army when the country enlistment application opened as long as she passed the physical examination. 

She did not want to follow Evan. It was just that she suddenly wanted to do something exciting after she had nearly experienced death. 

She knew that she was not fit to be a police, so she wanted to be a conscript. 

Justin thought that Yvette had a clouded mind and was talking 

nonsense. 

“Yvic, let’s talk about the enlistment after you have completely 

recovered.” 

Yvette knew that it would be hard for her family to accept that she wanted to give up a bright future to join the army. 

She would give them time to process her words and agree on her decision. She would let them know that she was not on a 

whim. 

“Dad, Mom, how is the condition of Cecilia’s brother?” 

Justin answered, “I went to see him yesterday and asked his attending doctor about his condition. He has severe internal injuries…” 

He briefly explained Evan’s physical condition to Yvette.

Yvette felt heartbroken after hearing about his condition. “I was too impatient. If I had fallen later, Cecilia’s brother wouldn’t have had to risk his life to save me and get hurt.” As if her heart was clogged by cotton, she felt particularly uncomfortable. 

Selene hurriedly comforted, “Yvie, don’t overthink about it. You were forced to fall from the building because of the situation at that time. You didn’t even know that you would be saved before falling.” 

Despite her words, Yvette was still very upset. She felt that she had hurt Evan. 

“Dad, Mom, I want to see him to thank him in person.” 

Justin disagreed. “Your neck is seriously injured. You can’t move around until you feel better.” 

“No. I want to see Cecilia’s brother in person now.” 

As Yvette said that, she put her hands on her side and slowly supported herself up. 

Selene hurriedly helped her and said to Justin, “Yvie is stubborn. Just take her to have a look, or she won’t have a good rest.” 

“Wait. I’ll rent a wheelchair.” 

Not long after, Justin pushed Yvette, who had changed into a hospital gown, to the next ward.
