Chapter 466 – Going Abroad
Christine White nodded with a heavy heart, and it would have to do.
Soon the call was answered.
Baird Lane’s low voice came through, “Which one?”
At the sound of the man’s voice, the tip of Christine White’s nose instantly soured.
If she hadn’t been too afraid to reveal that she was still alive right now, she would have wanted to just grab the phone and talk to him, ask him what was going on, between him and Molly Bort!
“President Lane, it’s me.” Bess Camp spoke back.
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the line for a few moments before Baird Lane’s voice reemerged, “Uh, what can I do for you?”
Listening to the strangely detached tone, Bess Camp felt something subtle, like something was wrong, but couldn’t quite put her finger on that point.
“It’s not much, I just heard that President Lane has been on good terms with Ms. Molly Bort for the past two days, are you guys together?” Bess Camp asked.
He asked bluntly.
Christine White’s heart skipped a beat, worrying that Baird Lane would be offended if he asked so bluntly.
However, her fears proved to be somewhat redundant, and Baird Lane was not angry, but rather bemused.
“Where did Chief Camp hear I was close to Molly?” Baird Lane asked without answering.
The sound of this Molly made Christine White’s heart go cold and she couldn’t help but bite her lip.
Molly …
What an extra familiar and distant name.
She remembered that was what he called Molly before he and Molly Bort had broken up.
But now that he has called out that exclusive name for Molly Bort, doesn’t that say it all?
He’s just getting back together with Molly Bort, why else would he call it so close.
“Brother …” Christine White called out to Bess Camp in a thin whisper.
Bess Camp looked over at her, asking with her eyes what was wrong.
Christine White laughed hard, tears welling up in her eyes, “Hang up, don’t ask.”
“…” Bess Camp was silent for two seconds, “Are you sure you don’t want to ask?”
“There’s no point.” Christine White laughs to herself.
Bess Camp sighed, “Good.”
After agreeing, he brought the phone back to his ear, “Sorry President Lane, my sister’s in a bit of a sad situation and I need to go enlighten her, that’s all for the call, bye!”
As the words left his mouth, he cut off the call and tossed the phone aside.
Christine White closed her eyes, her voice undisguised sadness and loneliness, “In fact, I really don’t understand, what is a man’s heart made of in the end, and what am I to Baird Lane in the end? When I was there, he still cared about Molly Bort, in order to Molly Bort, he wanted my bone marrow, and then he fell in love with me, so he stayed away from Molly Bort, but … ”
She choked back a sob at that, blinking slightly up as if trying to hold back tears, “But now that he’s taken up with Molly Bort as soon as I’m gone, does that mean that the person he loves the most is still, in fact, Molly Bort?”
Bess Camp listened to her words, unsure of how to take them.
Christine White huffed, “Brother, can you calm me down for a minute?”
“Yes.” Bess Camp nodded, “But I’ll only give you an hour, and in an hour, we’re leaving.”
“Uh-huh.” Christine White answered softly.
Bess Camp lifted his foot out of the hospital room, and naturally Assistant Land followed him out with him.
Outside, he asked, “Did President Lane’s side say when Christine’s funeral would be?”
“Said it’s tomorrow.” Assistant Land returned.
Bess Camp hmmm’d, “Don’t tell Christine about this, she can’t take too many hits already.”
Assistant Land obliged, “I know, but I just think it’s ridiculous that President Lane is going to put up a monument to Ms. Obviously she didn’t die, it’s just …”
“It can’t be helped, as far as President Lane and the others are concerned, Christine is indeed dead.” Bess Camp interrupts him.
Land assistant scratched his hair, “I know, that’s why I’m more surprised, to President Lane they, Miss is indeed dead, but also just not dead for a long time ah, how did he and Miss’s enemy and good, the most critical thing is, that Molly Bort and Miss is a real sister ah, President Lane President Lane, what is the difference between this and marrying the Queen of England!”
Bess Camp didn’t answer, her eyes much colder, her usual gentleness all but invisible, “There’s got to be some reason here that we don’t know about, but they’re hiding too deep for us to find out for a while, but we can’t afford not to.”
“Then when we return home, just arrange for a group of people to stay here specifically to investigate in secret, and when we’ve investigated clearly, just have them transmit the results abroad.” Assistant Land proposed.
Bess Camp pinched the bridge of her nose, “It’ll have to do, I’ll leave this to you, make it look good.”
“Don’t worry Chief Camp.” Assistant Land patted his chest.
In the time that followed, the two talked a little more about The Camp Family and waited until the hour was up before Bess Camp re-entered the ward.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“Calm down yet?” He asked.
Christine White looked up at him, her whole being uncharacteristically calm, “There.”
Bess Camp shot her a few glances, “Is everything okay?”
Christine White smiled at him, “It’s okay, let’s go brother.”
“Is it really okay?” Bess Camp was still a little uneasy.
It’s only been an hour, and even if you’re calm, you can’t be calm like this.
Instead, such calmness made him even more worried.
“It’s really fine, I’ve already decided, when I get abroad, if the doctor says I can recover, I’ll contact Baird Lane personally and tell him that I’m still alive, I want to hear a word of explanation from him in person, if he still has me in his heart, I’m sure he’ll come to me.” Christine White said in a light voice.
Bess Camp looked at her, “So what if …”
Christine White knew what he was going to say and her eyes sank, “Let’s go brother, if we don’t, we’re going to miss our flight.”
She changed the subject as if she didn’t want to talk about not being cured.
Bess Camp could see that she was avoiding it and sighed inwardly and went along with her not mentioning it, walking over and taking her out of the hospital bed and placing her in a wheelchair and pushing her out of the hospital room.
On the way to the airport, Bess Camp had been keeping an eye on Christine White’s movements.
He would have thought that she would have suddenly reversed herself, perhaps, because she couldn’t bear to part with Baird Lane, because she was between Baird Lane and Molly Bort, and then said she wouldn’t go abroad.
Unexpectedly, she had been very quiet looking out the window, not even saying a word, and even when she got off the bus at the airport and received her boarding pass, she was very quiet.
Looks like she’s really set on going abroad.
It’s better this way, going abroad is the only option she has at the moment, and it’s what’s best for her.
“Christine, boarding the plane, I’m going to give you one last chance to backtrack and stay or not.” Bess Camp, though already aware of Christine White’s firmness, gave her a chance to choose before boarding the plane.
Instead of answering him immediately, Christine White turned her head in the direction of the airport gate before turning her head back in the direction of the boarding checkpoint and smiled abruptly, “I’m coming with you!”
Bess Camp smiled back, “Now that you’ve made your choice, I’ll also tell you that I won’t grant you permission to return until you’ve recovered from your injuries, understand?”
“I understand, and I’m prepared.” Christine White nodded.
“In that case, we’re boarding.” Bess Camp pushed her, heading for the ticket gate.
Behind them, Land’s assistant strains to keep up, pushing several suitcases.
After checking their tickets, the trio boarded the plane without incident.
Bess Camp had ordered first class, and there were just the three of them in the cabin.
Christine White sat in the window seat, her eyes looking out with both anticipation and confusion, anticipating that the injuries she had sustained on this trip abroad would be cured, and confused as to what she would do if they weren’t.
Soon, the plane took off, and Christine White collected those thoughts for the moment, waiting for the plane to finish taxiing and take off high into the sky.
The moment before the plane flew high into the sky and disappeared into the clouds, she took one last look down through the window at the land where she had been raised, and said in her heart.
Baird Lane, goodbye …
