son who only cared about her own safety and ignored the lives of others.

Making her sit in the car doing nothing would make her uncomfortable.

Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief. She opened the door and said, "A simple first aid will be enough."

Christopher got out of the car with her, went to the trunk, and took out the medical kit.

As he handed it to Cecilia, he cautioned, "Ceci, saving people is important, but taking care of yourself is equally important. The mastermind might be among the injured."

The chain rear-end collision was not an accident; it was deliberate.

The results were so devastating that it definitely was not the work of just one car obstructing the road.

Although Cecilia was eager to help the injured, she remained calm.

She replied, "Christopher, don't worry about me. I'll take care of myself. You go and check on the bodyguards. Contact me if anything comes up." Christopher agreed, "Okay, if there is an emergency, just shout loudly. I will come to you as soon as possible."

Cecilia nodded, took the medical kit, and ran in the direction of the

screams.

Christopher quickly directed the uninjured bodyguards to follow and protect her.

He himself retrieved another first aid kit from another car and began assessing the injuries of the bodyguards.

A chain rear-end collision on the highway was the most frightening because of the high speeds involved, leaving no room for evasive action. They had to accept it.

The targets of this chain reaction had the most severe injuries.

Fortunately, the bodyguards had strong ment*l composure, and in the midst of the accident, they remained calm, doing their best to avoid getting injured.

So, the good news was that no one had died.

However, the bad news was that a large majority of the bodyguards had been injured, with over half of them sustaining serious injuries.

Christopher applied first aid measures to the severely injured bodyguards while keeping an eye on Cecilia's situation.

They were not far away, but on the highway, there were scattered vehicles in all directions.

Some of them had smoking engines, further obstructing visibility.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Leak... There's a fuel leak, run!"

A leaking fuel tank, combined with the high temperatures, could easily lead to an explosion.

Many people started running in all directions, causing even greater panic among the already anxious crowd.

Some of the wounded lying on the ground were ruthlessly trampled.

Cecilia's face darkened when she saw it and shouted, "Stop running, the car with the fuel leak might not explode!"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a loud explosion, and a wave of heat rushed over.

Cecilia immediately bent down, shielding a patient whose abdomen had been pierced by glass shards.

Debris from the car flew in all directions, injuring several people, and the pungent scent of blood filled the air.

The cries of the injured grew even more intense.

Cecilia was not far from the explosion point, and her arm had been scratched by a piece of metal, causing blood to flow.

She did not have time to attend to her own injury and continued to provide first aid to the wounded.

A few of the bodyguards formed a protective barrier around her, allowing her to treat the injured without disruption.

"Ms. Yancey, we will protect you with our lives," one of the bodyguards said.

Cecilia, as she bandaged the wounded, responded, "I don't need you to risk your lives. I hope all of you make it out of this alive."

Just as she finished speaking, one of the injured coughed up black blood, struggling to breathe.

She recognized it as a pneumothorax. If the accumulated air in the chest. cavity were not released timely, the person's life would be at risk.

The medical kit did not contain the right tools, but Cecilia had a pen.

She removed the pen's core, held the empty pen firmly in her right hand, and stabbed it into the man's chest.

The tapered pen barrel penetrated the skin and submerged into the chest. cavity. Blood spurted out from the pen barrel, and the man's complexion was no longer ashen.

Cecilia heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

When the man lying on the ground opened his eyes, the bodyguards could not help but smile, elated that Cecilia had saved a life.

But in the next moment, their smiles froze on their faces.

They saw the man reach for a knife in his pocket and lunge at Cecilia. The situation changed too quickly, and the injured man's actions were so aggressive that the bodyguards could not stop him in time. Watching Cecilia about to be harmed, their hearts raced, and their eyes. widened.

"Ms. Yancey, be careful!"

Before the words were out, the knife was already approaching.

Cecilia's hand that was wiping her sweat accurately grasped the man's wrist holding the knife. She forcefully bent it downward.

With a crack, his wrist was broken.

After narrowly avoiding danger, Cecilia gripped the pen that was halfway inside the man's chest and pushed it down, quickly ending the man's life. She had no mercy for anyone who wanted to kill her. The bodyguards, who had just broken into a cold sweat from fright, were now astounded by Cecilia's dramatic counterattack, and their tension gradually eased.

"Ms. Yancey, don't worry about these people anymore."

Although Cecilia had just faced danger, she did not regret saving people.

She could not abandon those who needed medical attention just because she had encountered one bad person.

Cecilia replied. "Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to myself. Just keep an eye on the surroundings."

The people she saved all had one foot in the grave, and even if someone wanted to harm her, they wouldn't be able to.

The subsequent medical treatment went smoothly without any surprises.

After treating the last of the severely injured, Cecilia stood up and looked

In truth, she was more interested in why Evan's people had not shown up yet.

The bodyguard explained. "Ms. Yancey, this car accident is quite severe. and the highway is completely blocked. There's heavy traffic, and the highway police have been delayed. They're currently on their way on foot.

Cecilia furrowed her brow. "I wonder how long it will take to clear a path?"

Although she gave first aid to the seriously injured, they would still die if they were not treated in time.

The bodyguard thought about it carefully and replied, "It's not difficult to clear the road. Twenty minutes is enough. But with the ambulance stuck behind, it might take an additional 20 minutes or more." After hearing this, Cecilia immediately contacted Evan.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

She felt something was wrong and asked worriedly, "Evan, are you all right?"

Evan assured, "I'm fine. I just had a minor situation that has been resolved. How about you and Christopher? Are you both okay?"

Evan knew that there was a major rear-end collision that occurred on the highway, and he guessed it was related to Cecilia.

Since the accident location was close to Acocester, he contacted the local police to intervene.

However, the police chief was away for a meeting in Jacaster, and Evan could not get in touch with him. The deputy chief was afraid of The True Lady Strikes Back

shouldering the responsibility and insisted on following the official procedures.

He then contacted the police headquarters to issue direct orders to the district police station, which resolved the situation.

Cecilia responded with a hum and continued, "Christopher and I are fine, but the scene is quite gruesome with many seriously injured people." Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the highway police arriving. "Evan, the highway police are here. I'll go and communicate with them first. Let's talk later."

Evan was just about to warn Cecilia to be wary of the highway police in case someone impersonated them, but she hung up the phone.
