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.
“Okay, please send it as soon as possible. Thank you.”

After saying that, she hung up the phone and devoted herself to research on reducing the side effects
of the antidote.
Half an hour later, Yvette got the ointment from the herbal pharmacy.
The ointment emitted a faint medicinal fragrance. When she applied it to the wound, it felt cold and
comfortable and relieved the needle–like prickly pain.
Selene helped Yvette apply the medicine, and the resentment she had against Cecilia gradually
disappeared.
Justin, who was standing next to them, thought the same thing. Although Cecilia was the reason for the
accident with his two daughters, it wasn’t completely her fault. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Cecilia didn’t deliberately get close to the Yates family, nor did she let his daughter suffer on her
behalf.
To put it bluntly, they were all victims.
After the couple sorted out their thoughts, they no longer felt as depressed and upset.
It was noon in a flash. The butler of the Yates residence came to deliver lunch.
The three Yates family members got a large portion of food, and Evan got a small one.
Yvette originally wanted to deliver it in person, but she didn’t think Evan really wanted to see her, so
she asked the butler to deliver it.
The butler also sent dinner to him.

Evan thought it was fine because he didn’t have to deal with
anyone.
Around eight o’clock in the evening, a succession of members. from the special operations unit came to
see him.
They used a special passageway and were dressed in simple. disguises. No one recognized them.
After greeting them, the group left and happened to run into Yvette, who came to deliver supper, at the
door.
Yvette had played the role of a policewoman before.
It was an important supporting role. She had filmed the show at the police station, with the special
forces, anti–terrorism unit, and anti–drug squad. Hence, she had seen many police officers. before.
Although the team members were in disguises, they couldn’t hide it from her, a person who was
proficient in acting.
She had recognized four of them. One was from an
anti–terrorism unit, one was a police officer, and two were from the special forces.
One of them had even taught her how to hold a gun professionally.
Since these people came to see Evan, it proved that he was not an ordinary policeman.
