The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher) novel Chapter 224

Chapter 224 

Yvette asked so suddenly about his “girlfriend” that Evan didn’t think too much about it. 

“I don’t-” 

After he uttered these words, he suddenly realized that he almost said that he had no girlfriend. 

He reacted quickly and continued, “She’s always out on missions. If she knew something happened to me, she might get distracted and get herself hurt.” 

The brief pause did not arouse Yvette’s suspicion. 

“Then, I’ll hire a caregiver for you, Evan. Take it as thanks for saving me.” 

Connect time out! 

Evan refused. “No, it’s fine. A nurse is enough.” 

He was going back to Acocester tomorrow, so there was no need to hire a caregiver. The nurse could help him with eating and drinking. 

Seeing that Evan was very cold to her, Yvette didn’t stay. 

“Then, have a good rest. I wish you a speedy recovery.” 

“The same goes for you. Ceci is worried about you.” 

Evan deliberately mentioned Cecilia to tell Yvette that he only uttered those words of concern because of Cecilia. 

Yvette nodded. “I will.” 

After she went back to her ward, she called Cecilia. 

Cecilia was in the laboratory. 

The laboratory technicians were very effective. They had prepared the antidote, but there were some side effects. 

She was working with them to find ways to reduce the side

effects. 

Seeing Yvette’s call, Cecilia immediately walked to the corner and answered it. 

“Yvie, are you awake? How do you feel?” 

Yvette leaned against the head of the bed, held her painful neck, and said, “I’m fine. It’s just a superficial wound that will heal after some rest. Ceci, did you ask Evan to save me? He’s badly hurt, and I feel very guilty.” 

She had been talking since she woke up, and every word she said made her neck hurt like a knife was stabbing it. 

Cecilia noticed something wrong with Yvette’s voice and hurriedly said, “Yvie, your neck is badly hurt. Try not to say anything. Evan is a policeman. It’s his responsibility to save you. Don’t blame yourself.” 

Yvette said in a muffled voice, “Even so, no one has the 

obligation to risk their lives to save others.” 

In the past, Cecilia had gotten herself injured to save her, and Yvette had felt guilty over that for a long time. 

Cecilia could understand Yvette’s feelings. 

“Yvie, if you really want to do something for Evan, just bring him lunch and dinner today.” 

It happened that Evan had no one to take care of him, and Yvette didn’t need two meals. 

Yvette bit her pale lips. 

“Cecilia, Evan is very repulsed by me. He won’t accept the meal I send him.” 

She really didn’t harbor any ill intentions toward Evan, nor did she intend to use the kindness of saving her life to approach him. She just wanted to return the favor as much as possible.

Liking someone didn’t mean being together with them. Sometimes, it was fine as long as they were well. 

“I’ll talk to Evan. He has serious internal injuries, and there are certain foods he can’t eat. Please ask your chef at home to cook…” 

Cecilia announced the names of several dishes and asked, “Yvie, did you get all that?” 

“I do. Ceci, Thank you.” 

“Stop talking. When you feel better, we’ll have a good talk.” 

Yvette nodded and asked before Cecilia hung up the phone, “Ceci, how is Mr. Forte?” 

Cecilia looked at the busy laboratory technician and said, “I won’t let Christopher get hurt.” 

She deliberately concealed Christopher’s state of health so that he could be a surprise ace like her. 

Yvette didn’t know the truth and looked worried. 

But thinking of Cecilia’s ability, she was relieved. 

“Cecilia, you and Mr. Forte must be safe. Goodbye.” 

After the call with Yvette ended, Cecilia called Evan and told her that she had asked Yvette to bring him lunch. 

“Evan, Yvie doesn’t mean anything else. She just wants to do something for the one who saved her life. It’s only two meals. She won’t bother you too much.” 

Since Cecilia had said so, Evan had no choice but to agree. 

“Got it.” 

After agreeing, he asked in a low voice, “Is there any news from Charlie?” 

“Not yet. I can’t keep in touch with him too often as it will arouse unnecessary suspicion.”

“Got it. Let’s wait until I get back to Acocester.” 

They hung up the phone without saying a word. 

Cecilia put her phone in her pocket and walked towards the laboratory technician who was doing the experiment. 

After taking two steps, she remembered something and took out her phone again. 

She found the contact information for Quilton’s largest herbal pharmacy and called. 

It was picked up by a young lady, probably the clerk. 

“Hello, can I help you?” 

Cecilia said directly, “I’m Cecilia. I gave you a prescription for a trauma ointment before. Is it still on sale?” 

The clerk knew about Cecilia because the ointment made the pharmacy much more famous. 

“Hello, Ms. Yancey. Our pharmacy is about to sell the ointment with the formula you provided. The sales volume is good. Don’t worry. Our boss didn’t make a profit by using the prescription and only added a little staff fee on top of the cost of herbs.” 

The cost of making ointment was too high, so the price it was sold at wasn’t low. Only a few people could afford it. 

Cecilia replied, “Help me send two boxes to the Central Hospital and give them to Ms. Yvette Yates. I’ll transfer the money to you later.” 

“Just a moment, please.” 

The clerk thought it was wrong to take Cecilia’s money, but she couldn’t make the decision and called the boss out. 

She gave a brief account of the situation. 

The middle–aged boss took the phone and said to Cecilia, “Ms. Yancey, I won’t charge you for the two boxes of ointment you

asked for. Take it as a gift for giving us your prescription.” 

Cecilia knew that the owner was not short of these 6,000 dollars, so she didn’t refuse.
