The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher)

Chapter 195

The first thing the fake highway policeman had said to Christopher after he was seriously injured by the

explosion was, “You are Cecilia’s weakness. Once we have you, she will naturally fall in line.”

While Christopher was struggling to hold off his opponent, the assassin added,

“Cecilia is calling you. Reply to her quickly. I can’t wait to capture her.”

Christopher believed in Cecilia’s skills and knew that she would not be caught easily.

Even so, the assassin had a gun, and Christopher was worried that Cecilia wouldn’t be able to handle

it.

The sharp point of the knife punctured the skin of his neck, and blood overflowed and dripped down.

His badly injured arm trembled; he was gradually losing strength.

At this time, Cecilia and the bodyguards‘ shouting were getting closer.

A wicked smile appeared on the face of the assassin as he exerted more force, causing the knife in his

hand to go deeper.

“It seems that Cecilia really cares about you. She knew it would be dangerous to come here for you,

but she still came.”

Anxious beyond measure, Christopher suddenly gained strength.

He grabbed the man’s wrist and turned it over quickly.

The knife slashed across his neck, aggravating the injury.

But he didn’t seem to feel a thing. He raised his elbow and hit the corner of the assassin’s eye.

The assassin reacted quickly. While avoiding the attack, he also broke free from Christopher’s grip.

He shouted, “Christopher, go to hell!”

This was deliberately said loud enough for Cecilia to hear.

By then, Cecilia was close to them and came quickly after hearing the

voice.

She knew it might be a trap, but she couldn’t resist going.

Christopher grew anxious, and his potential exploded. He was originally

losing, but he now appeared to be gaining the upper hand.

Astonished at Christopher’s endurance, the assassin quickly avoided it. The next second, he took out

his gun and pointed it at the fuel tank of the car beside him.

“Don’t move, or I will shoot.”

If he fired, he would die, but at least Christopher would be dragged into the afterlife with him!

As for Cecilia, she would be seriously injured if she didn’t die.

Christopher’s face changed dramatically before he shouted, “Ceci, don’t come here. Leave!”

Before he could finish his words, the assassin turned around and aimed his gun at Cecilia, who was

running over.

Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger.

Cecilia was so close that she couldn’t dodge it, especially since she was caught off guard.

Her eyes suddenly widened.

It wasn’t because a bullet was shooting at her.

No, it was because Christopher had moved in front of the gun at the last

moment.

Bang!

The gunshot hit Christopher in the shoulder, causing her heart to wrench.

“Christopher!”

Cecilia roared and dashed toward the man who was about to fall.

The assassin gave Cecilia a wicked smile. “Once again, there’s nothing you can do!”

After saying that, he pulled the trigger.

However, he was a beat too slow.

Cecilia rushed to Christopher’s side at an inhuman speed.

While catching Christopher’s falling body, she raised her leg and kicked the assassin in the wrist.

Before the bullet could even be fired, the assassin’s wrist fractured with a loud crack from the kick.

The gun flew out of his hand and was caught by Cecilia. The next second, she shot at the assassin

mercilessly. With a bang, a hole appeared in between his eyebrows. When the man fell to the ground,

his eyes were full of disbelief.

How could anyone be so fast?

He wouldn’t have thought so if he had seen the news of a mother rushing to catch her child who fell

from the building in time despite being far

away.

Because the human potential was infinite!

Cecilia stopped caring about the dead man and held up Christopher, who was badly wounded.

As she felt the man’s breath, she asked anxiously, “Chris, are you okay?”

By then, Christopher had reached his limit, so he could only say weakly, “Ceci, don’t worry. I still want

to grow old with you. I won’t let myself die.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Cecilia’s back suddenly tighten.

This was the body’s instinctive defense against danger.

He didn’t know where he got the strength to switch positions with Cecilia.

Before he could steady himself, a sharp pain burst from his back, and he fainted completely.

Cecilia looked at the tranquilizer dart stuck on Christopher’s back with a strong killing intent.

The dart was used to anesthetize large animals, but she was sure it wasn’t filled with tranquilizer.

“Find out who fired the shot!”

She said this to the bodyguards, but no one moved.

They were all on guard in case anything else happened.

The recent series of events had happened so suddenly that they weren’t able to do anything. Now that

the dust was settling, they felt regretful and self–reproachful.

“Ms. Yancey, the safety of you and Mr. Christopher Forte is more important. There’s no hurry to find the

shooter now.”

Cecilia calmed down and said, “Help me carry Christopher into the car

The modified car was much safer than remaining out in the open, so she

could treat Christopher’s injuries with peace of mind there.

Just as the bodyguards were about to lift Christopher, the sound of sirens came from far away.

Hearing that, Cecilia knew that the people Evan had arranged for were coming, so she felt a little

relieved.

“Never mind, don’t put him in the car. Take Christopher to the clearing near Acocester, and an

ambulance will be here soon.”

The items in the first–aid kit were limited and could only be used to treat simple external injuries. More

serious injuries required a trip to the hospital.

The bodyguards answered in acknowledgment.

As they carried Christopher away, Cecilia withdrew the dart from his back and prepared to find the

shooter.

Seeing that she didn’t follow them, a bodyguard hurriedly said, “Ms. Yancey, Mr. Christopher Forte

really needs your company now.”

They knew that they couldn’t persuade Cecilia, so they had no choice but to use Christopher as an

excuse.

However, Cecilia was a rational woman. She knew clearly that people in a coma had no awareness of

the outside world.

“I’ll be right back. You all just need to focus on protecting Christopher.”

After saying that, she ignored the bodyguard’s protests and walked in the direction where the dart had

been fired from. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

When Christopher was shot, she had been observing carefully. After ruling out a few people, only two

were left as suspects.

Cecilia pointed the gun at one of them and said, “From your position, you should have seen how I killed

that assassin. Would you like to experience that for yourself?”

Although there was residual temperature on the barrel of the gun, it was not high, but the woman still

screamed in terror.

“It wasn’t me. It really wasn’t me!”

“Did you see who did it?”

The woman didn’t dare to lie. She shook her head vigorously and said, “I was so scared that I didn’t

see anything.”

Just then, the captain of the highway police rushed over and immediately became alert when he saw Cecilia with a gun in her hand.

“Please put down the gun!”

Cecilia immediately threw the gun to the captain.

The captain breathed a sigh of relief, but his relief was short–lived when he saw Cecilia sticking a

tranquilizer dart into the woman’s neck.

Just a few words had Cecilia convinced that this woman had shot the

dart.

The pain from her neck had the woman’s expression falling before she screamed, “Help me! Take me

to the hospital!”

Although the contents of the dart had been injected into Christopher’s body, the residue was not to be

underestimated!

Cecilia grabbed the woman’s collar and asked coldly, “What is in the dart?”
