Chapter 462 Passport
But she didn’t think much of it, for she heard the sound of wheels rolling, and it must have been the nurse pushing a trolley, coming to check on the room.
Sure enough, the person who came was a nurse.
The nurse helped her remove the original needle and replace it with a new one, then asked about her physical condition and left after confirming that it was correct.
Christine White felt a little drowsy not long after the nurse left.
And without pushing herself, she laboriously adjusted her lying position and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was nighttime.
Bess Camp was sitting next to Christine White’s hospital bed, holding something in his hand, looking at it intently, when he heard a muffled grunt in his ear, and he put the thing in his hand down, “Awake?”
“Brother?” Christine White called out to him in a hoarse voice as her neck twitched.
She shouted this brother, even more naturally than she had done during the day.
Bess Camp smiled, “Hungry?”
Christine White shook her head, “Want some water.”
“One moment.” Bess Camp helped her to her feet and took a pillow behind her to cushion her against the head of the bed before she went to pour the water.
Christine White took the straw, said thank you, and sipped slowly with it in her mouth.
Finishing her water, Bess Camp drew the straw back and set it on the bedside along with the cup before picking up what she had just downed and shoving it into her hand, “Guess what this is?”
Christine White’s hand was so badly burned and the bandage was still wrapped so tightly that she couldn’t feel if there was anything on it.
But since he says there is, there must be.
“I don’t know.” Christine White returned truthfully.
Bess Camp smiled, “Here’s your identification, passport, and visa.”
At that, Christine White was a little surprised, “So soon?”
She’d thought it would be faster, at least tomorrow.
“Dad’s friends with the embassy’s curator, so it’s quick to go flowLand.” Bess Camp explained.
Christine White nodded indistinctly, “Unfortunately, I can’t see what the passport looks like in my hand… Brother, the bandage on my eye, when will it be removed?”
“The doctor said your eyes were also badly smoked by the smoke, that’s why they put bandages on you, but it should be soon, I’ll ask the doctor.” With that, he pressed the emergency button directly above the bed.
Not two minutes later, the doctor arrived, panting slightly, seemingly running, “What’s wrong with the patient?”
“The patient is fine, I just want you to take a look at my sister’s eyes doctor.” Bess Camp said pointing to Christine White.
Christine White listened to his cry of sister, her heart was shy and warm at the same time.
“Eyes?” The doctor flinched, “What’s wrong with the eyes?”
“No, my sister is going to meet someone tomorrow and wants to remove the bandage from her eye, can you see if you can remove it, doctor?” Bess Camp asked.
The doctor listened and walked over to Christine White, “I’ll take a look at the patient’s eye recovery.”
“Yes, please.” Bess Camp nodded.
The doctor pulled medical gloves from the pocket of his white coat and put them on, then reached out and touched Christine White’s eyes.
Perhaps the doctor had accidentally pressed the burn near her eye, and she shrank in pain.
Seeing this, Bess Camp put her hand on her shoulder and softly soothed, “It’s okay, bear with me.”
“Uh-huh.” Christine White answered.
Bess Camp looked to the doctor, “Well?”
“Let’s take it apart a little bit first so she can feel the light source, if her eyes don’t appear foggy in her vision when she opens them other than a little stinging, she can remove the bandage from her eyes.” The doctor replied, while also pulling out a small pair of scissors from his pocket.
Bess Camp knew he was about to cut the bandage and stepped slightly to the side, making room for him to have more room to cast.
Soon, the bandage over Christine White’s eyes is cut away, revealing her beautiful almond eyes.
It was just that at the moment her almond eyes were tightly closed, while the corners of her eyes were bloody next to each other, which made her look a bit scary.
“Ms. White …”
The doctor had just opened his mouth to call out to Christine White before he had a chance to say the words that followed. It was interrupted by Bess Camp, “Doctor, her last name is Tim, please call her Miss Camp from now on.”
“Eh?” The doctor froze, “Ms. Camp, isn’t the last name White?”
Christine White gave a laugh, “I changed my name.”
“I see, well then, Ms. Camp, you do as I say and open your eyes when I tell you to, understand?” The doctor looked at her seriously.
Christine White nodded without hesitation, “Understood.”Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
It was her eyes that were at stake, so naturally she wouldn’t mess around.
With a satisfied hmmm, the doctor pulled open a small drawer at the foot of the bed and removed a compact flashlight from it.
The flashlight was turned on, a strong glow came on, and the doctor shone that light over Christine White’s eyelids and asked, “Do you feel anything?”
“There’s a light, and it’s blinding!” Christine White returned.
Even with her eyes closed, she could feel a bright circle of light in the depths of the darkness.
“It’s good to feel something, so now try to slowly open your eyes.” The doctor encouraged her by turning off the flashlight.
Bess Camp stood by, not saying anything, but one of her raised hands was clenched in obvious concern.
Christine White blinked at the doctor’s words and slowly opened her eyes.
Just as she opened a slit, the glare stung her and she frowned, immediately closing her eyes again.
“What’s wrong?” Bess Camp asked eagerly.
Christine White shook her head, “It’s fine, it’s just a little harsh.”
The doctor explained, “It’s normal, her eyes have been blindfolded all this time, and when they are suddenly liberated, there will be some discomfort, try a few more times, and she’ll be fine once she gets used to the light.”
“Hmmm then I’ll try again.” Christine White took a breath and tried once more to open her eyes.
The light still stung his eyes this time, but it was still much better than the first time.
After that, she opened and closed her eyes so repeatedly before finally adjusting to the light and opening them fully.
The vision faded from blurry to clear and Christine White thought of something and raised her eyes toward Bess Camp, her eyes curved at the concern on Bess Camp’s face, “Brother!”
“See?” Bess Camp took one look at her and knew she had seen it.
Christine White nodded, “Saw it, it was clear, no foggy state like the doctor said.”
“That’s good.” The doctor duly picked up.
Bess Camp’s inner worry finally dropped, “That means no bandages on the eyes huh?”
“Yes, rest and don’t overuse your eyes for the rest of the day, and you’ll be basically fine.” The doctor took his gloves off and returned.
He then gave a couple of other instructions on what to look out for and left.
“Well, you heard what the doctor just said, get some rest.” Bess Camp stepped forward and tried to help Christine White lie down.
Christine White, however, refused, “No brother, I just woke up not long ago, where can I sleep, you show me the passport in, I just didn’t even see it.”
“Good.” Bess Camp raised an eyebrow and didn’t object, bringing her passport and visa back to her.
This time Christine White finally saw what her passport and visa looked like. Visa aside, the green passport, which was different from her old brownish-red passport, put her in more of a trance.
“After that, I’m not from Z?” Christine White looked up at Bess Camp.
Bess Camp gently nodded her head, “The Camp Family migrated in the last century, all of Chinese descent, but their nationality was foreign, now that you are a The Camp Family person, naturally your nationality has changed.”
“I know.” Christine White put her passport back, “I’m just a little sad that I’m suddenly a foreigner all of a sudden.”
“Just get used to it.” Bess Camp said.
Christine White hmmm’d, then asked about something else, “By the way brother, have you made any arrangements for me to meet Baird tomorrow?”
