    Chapter 20


    When Juliana went to the ssroom, she suddenly stumbled and instantly fell down the stairs.


    Her head was bleeding from the fall, and she crashed into a trash can in the corner of the staircase.


    Inside the trash can, there was dirty garbage and broken ss, which instantly cut Juliana’s delicate


    skin.


    A warm–hearted student immediately brought her to the infirmary.


    Juliana bumped her forehead several times on the steps and felt dizzy.


    Seeing that Juliana was seriously injured, the doctor was also worried that she had a concussion. He


    immediately called the emergency number and asked the school administration to inform her family.


    When the ambnce arrived at school, Jonathan, who happened to work near Quilton University, also


    came.


    He rushed into the infirmary. Looking at Juliana, who was covered with injuries, Jonathan was in


    distress. “Julia, don’t be afraid. I’ll apany you to the hospital.”


    Juliana was dizzy. There were bandages all over her body, and tears ran down her face.


    Seeing that Jonathan was worried and blocked the medical staff, the doctor hurriedly said, “Mr. Yancey,


    Ms. Yancey fell down the stairs. She may have had a concussion, and her leg was cut by ss. She


    lost too much blood and needed stitches. Let the medical staff send her to the hospital immediately.”


    Jonathan returned to his senses and instantly stepped aside.


    When he left the infirmary, he saw Cecilia enjoying the scene among the crowd.

    Recalling that the doctor mentioned Juliana had lost too much blood, Jonathan subconsciously


    ordered, “Cecilia,e here!”


    Cecilia looked at Jonathan like he was an idiot.


    “When you go to the hospital, get a brain CT scan and see if there’s something wrong with your head.”


    After saying that, she turned around and left.


    Only then did Jonathan remember that Cecilia had left the Yancey family and would not care about


    Juliana anymore.


    He red at Cecilia’s back before driving to follow the ambnce.


    After the sirens of the ambnce faded away, the onlookers also dispersed.


    Suddenly, someone said, “Cecilia is a Yancey and knows Mr. Yancey. Is she one of the Yancey


    family?”


    The question got approval from many people.


    “I also think so. But why haven’t I ever heard that Cecilia is from the Yancey family?”


    “She might be from an unfavorable coteral branch of the family. Mr. Yancey’s attitude just now was


    like ordering a servant around.”


    “But Cecilia’s attitude is so strange. She scolded Mr. Yancey directly. Does the family member of the


    coteral branch have the courage to do that?”


    Everyone was talking about it but was unable to figure it out.


    Cecilia, who left, called Philip. “If nothing goes wrong, Juliana will be at the hospital soon. Find a


    chance to convince the Yancey family to go through a physical examination on her and expose her


    from pretending to be ill.”


    Philip was momentarily stunned and said worriedly, “Professor Yancey, don’t take risks anymore. It’s


    enough to start


    investigating Juliana’s medical records.”

    “It’s not me. It was an ident.”


    Cecilia did intend to hurt Juliana and force her to go to the hospital.


    However, she did not have the chance to do it.


    She was sure it was not an ident when Juliana fell down the stairs. It was proved by the broken


    ss in the trash can.


    Philip was relieved. “Professor Yancey, are youing to the hospital?”


    He figured out the rtionship between Cecilia and the Yancey family through Juliana’s medical


    records.


    Thinking of a genius in the medical field like Cecilia had be Juliana’s blood bank and almost


    drained her blood, Philip felt angry and heartbroken.


    “I’m not going. Just tell me the result afterward.”


    Cecilia knew very well that even if she exposed Juliana from pretending to be ill, thetter could coax


    the foolish Yancey family.


    Thus, the show would not be very interesting.


    “Okay, I’ll go back to work,” said Philip.


    After hanging up the phone, Cecilia immediately checked the surveince footage of the academic


    building, but there was nothing abnormal.


    The ss was identally broken by the janitor and thrown into the trash can.


    However, Cecilia still felt something was wrong. The incident was too coincidental.


    From the previous day to that day, there seemed to be


    someone behind who was sparing no effort to help Cecilia destroy Juliana.


    She thought, “Who could it be?”

    Cecilia was so deep in her thoughts that she almost bumped into someone.


    She immediately stopped in her tracks and caught the strong fragrance of roses.


    Looking up, she saw a handsome boy holding a bouquet of red roses. He was looking at Cecilia


    gently.


    “I’m sorry, Cecilia. I’ve brought you trouble. This is an


    apology,” said the boy.


    Cecilia looked at him coldly. “Since you know you’re trouble, stay away from me.”


    The boy was Devon. The previous day, Cecilia was tricked by a hopeless romantic girl because of


    Devon.


    Devon had chased a lot of girls. He knew he had to be shameless and keep pestering when pursuing a


    cold and elegant beauty.


    Moreover, he was really interested in Cecilia.


    Holding out the flowers again, Devon flicked his hair.


    “Cecilia, I promise no more girls wille to trouble you. Give me a chance. Let me make it up for you,


    okay?”


    Cecilia was not interested in watching Devon and directly bypassed him.


    Devon’s voice came from behind. “Cecilia, I like you. I won’t give up!”


    The loud confession caused a lot of people to cheer.


    Cecilia nced at them coldly. Everyone immediately shut up, pretended to be busy, and walked


    away.


    Everyone was dissatisfied with Cecilia snatching Juliana’s opportunities. At that moment, they had a


    worse impression of


    her.


    They thought she was too arrogant.

    Cecilia did not care what others thought of her.


    She looked at Devon and warned, “If your feelings disturb me, don’t me me for what happens next.”


    Devon watched Cecilia’s retreating figure obsessively and liked


    her even more.


    At that moment, Juliana had been sent to Quilton Central Hospital.


    Sophia arrived at the hospital first and arranged everything.


    As soon as Juliana arrived, she was sent for a physical examination by the doctor and nurse who had


    already been waiting for her.


    Worried and distressed, Sophia trotted with the moving bed in high heels.


    “Julia, I’m here. Don’t be afraid!”


    Juliana held back her tears and nodded. “Mom, slow down. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. It’s just a fall.”


    Sophia felt more distressed to hear Juliana’s constion, even when she was hurt badly.


    “You silly. You only care about others even at moments like this.”


    “Mom, you’re not an outsider. I don’t want to see you sad,” replied Juliana.


    Soon, Juliana was sent to one of the departments for an MRI. Jonathan parked his car and rushed


    upstairs.


    Looking at the anxious Sophia, heforted her, “Mom, Julia will be fine. Please sit and wait.”


    Then, he brought up Cecilia. “Mom, I met Cecilia. She ispletely different now.”


    Sophia felt a headache when she heard it was about Cecilia.


    “She’s capable now. How dare she team up with Yvette and


    11:49


    The True Lady Strikes Back


    openly snatch Julia’s opportunities? Jonathan, do you think Cecilia caused Julia’s injury?” asked


    Sophia suddenly.


    Thinking that Cecilia was indifferent and had a hint of gloating, Jonathan thought it was possible.


    “Mom, if Cecilia did it, I won’t let her go! Besides, Julia’s opportunities must not be snatched away by


    Cecilia. Let Jerry and Jay use their fans to pressure Yates Corporation.”


    “Don’t worry. They’re already working on it.”


    While they were talking, Juliana’s examination results came


    out.


    Besides the concussion, there were many abrasions on her body. Her arm was slightly fractured, and


    at least six stitches were needed for her leg, which was cut by ss.


    Sophia almost fainted after hearing the doctor’s words.


    Jonathan was calm and asked, “My sister has a blood disorder. If she loses too much blood, will it


    trigger the illness? She has a Rh–negative blood type. Does the hospital have any spare?” The doctor


    replied, “It depends on the actual situation to trigger her illness. As for the spare, you have to ask the


    attending doctor.”


    Juliana was sent to the consultation room.


    She looked at Kevin, the attending doctor, and ordered, “As usual, tell them my situation is worse than


    the actual. You’ll benefit from this.”


    Looking at the miserable Juliana, Kevin was so frightened and gulped. He was afraid that he would be


    the next target.


    He calmed down and said deliberately, “Ms. Yancey, you’ve been pretending to be ill for so long. It’s


    time to stop. Otherwise, you’ll be found out sooner orter.”


    “It’s none of your business. Just do as I say.”


    “But I’m scared. Professor Foster took your medical records.


    11:49

    He probably noticed something,” said Kevin.


    Hearing that, Juliana immediately became emotional. “What did you say? Didn’t I tell you to hide my


    medical records?”


    Kevin looked at Juliana innocently. “It was Mrs. Yancey who told me to do that. I had no choice.”


    “Then why didn’t you inform me in advance?”


    Kevin responded, “Mrs. Yancey said you were too busy to let Professor Foster treat your illness, so she


    asked me to give him the medical records. She was worried that Professor Foster couldn’t treat your


    illness and made you excited over nothing. So, she told me to keep it a secret from you. If Professor


    Foster is capable, Mrs. Yancey will tell you the good news in person and surprise you.”


    Juliana was furious.


    She did not want a surprise at all.


    “Are you dumb? Don’t you know about my situation? If you had told me earlier, I would have figured it


    out. What should we do now?”


    She was so emotional that she ripped apart the wound on her leg. Then, blood stained the gauze red.


    Thinking of what Philip had told him before, Kevin directly stopped pretending. “It’s simple. I’ll tell the


    Yancey family about you faking the illness for a year.”


    “1


    Juliana’s eyes widened. “How dare you!”


    Kevin waved his phone. “I’ve recorded the conversation just now and give it to Mrs. Yanceyter.”


    “Are you crazy? Aren’t you afraid that I will tell your wife that you have an extramarital affair?” Juliana


    held that against Kevin to make thetter hide her condition.


    “It’s just an affair. It’s not more important than my life. Juliana,


    11:50


    The True Lady Strikes Back

    you’ve messed with someone you shouldn’t.” After saying that, Kevin took the tranquilizer he had


    prepared and flicked the needle.


    Juliana had no strength to resist. She could only watch the transparent liquid in the needle injected into


    her body.


    Lying on the hospital bed, she noticed her consciousness gradually faded and fell asleep.


    Kevin was so nervous that his heart raced. When he stitched up Juliana’s wound, his hand shook and


    caused a few more


    injuries.


    He helped Juliana deal with the wounds and gave her a blood transfusion. Then, he sent a message to


    Philip and left the


    room.


    Sophia and Jonathan immediately walked forward and asked, “Dr. Fowler, how is Julia? Is her illness


    triggered?”


    “Ms. Yancey is fine and doesn’t show any signs of getting triggered. But she was too emotional just


    now. I gave her a sedative. Now, she’s asleep.”


    Sophia breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s good to hear that.”


    As soon as she finished, the hospital broadcast rang out in the corridor. “Medical staff who have the


    honor to participate in Professor Foster’s medical records analysis, please go to the conference room


    immediately. The analysis will start in ten minutes.”


    Hearing the news, Sophia instantly realized it was an excellent opportunity to treat Juliana.


    She immediately phoned Philip. “Professor Foster, do you have time to treat my daughter? She’s in


    Central Hospital now. She was injured.”


    After hesitating for a while, Philip said, “Mrs. Yancey, if you don’t mind letting Ms. Yancey be a living


    example of the case analysis, I can treat her now.”

    Sophia did not want to make Juliana’s illness known by all. “Professor Foster, patients have their


    privacy.”


    “Although the case analysis is public, you don’t have to worry because the patient’s identity is


    confidential. If you don’t want to, you can forget it. I’ll treat Ms. Yancey next time when Ie to


    Quilton.”


    “When is the next time youe here?” asked Sophia.


    “I’m not sure. It may be after a year or over ten years.”


    Hearing that, Sophia changed her mind. “Professor Foster, please treat my daughter and protect her


    privacy.”


    Philip had expected it would result that way. He promised, “Sure.”


    After ending the call, Philip told Cecilia the good news.


    Then, he dyed the medical records analysis for an hour. Philip would first perform a detailed


    examination on Juliana, who was in a deep sleep.
