"I'll ask the chef to prepare something delicious for you." The elder brother, Christopher Lin, coaxed his sister who had turned beet red after what had just taken place.
The true prowess of her growling stomach had been witnessed by three people now so it was without a doubt that she felt her face burn in embarrassment.
However, her stomach grumbling in hunger was expected as she had only eaten a single bite before her allergic reaction wrecked their dinner plans.
Once she started showing symptoms, she was rushed to the hospital after which she had been unconscious for the past five hours.
Therefore, the elder brother was more than understanding when his younger sister who was twelve weeks pregnant now displayed signs of having a rebellious stomach that demanded to be fed.
'Pregnant…' Christopher repeated in his mind while staring at her belly which was still flat for now.
Until now, everything that had taken place had been too surreal for him but now the gravity of the situation was beginning to dawn on him.
His baby sister was going to become a mother soon and he, an uncle to the child that would soon be born.
Just thinking of the newer and heavier responsibilities that would fall onto his shoulders, he felt a strange pit in his stomach which filled him with anxiety.
Nevertheless, he could not deny that there was also excitement and anticipation concealed somewhere within the plethora of emotions he was experiencing right now.
While he was coming to terms with the fact that their lives would soon be changing forever, he noticed his sister pushing herself up to get off the bed.
Just as he was about to support her, she smiled before shaking her head in refusal as she could manage herself.
"I want to get changed," Camille explained while pointing at the hospital gown she was made to wear after she had been admitted as a patient.
Since the doctor had already given her the green signal, there was no longer any reason for her to stick around.
Therefore, she had decided to get changed at the earliest so that they might leave this place.
Her feet especially hastened when she thought of the loud growls her stomach had let out just a few moments ago, embarrassing her before her brother and the rest.
This added to her reasons for running away as quickly as her feet could move.
Hence she did not wait for her brother's reply and rushed toward the bathroom connected to the private room she had been in.
Christopher Lin, the elder brother who had been with her all along, shook his head when he saw the haste with which she had picked up her clothes that were neatly folded and placed next to her bed before she escaped from the room.
He could guess what had caused her to behave this way so he did not stop her but chuckled secretly once she was out of earshot.
Looking around the hospital room, he decided to gather the items they would need to take along with them when they leave.
Inside the well-lit bathroom, Camille stood before the mirror as she finally got the opportunity to take a proper look at her new appearance.
In the transmigration novels she had read, the female lead who enters a different world often brings along with her, the stellar appearance she possessed in her previous life.
Though there were also cases where she would gain a new body that could only be described as ethereal due to its otherworldly beauty.
However, her situation did not follow either of these cases as her current body and appearance was neither ethereal nor was it identical to how she appeared in her previous life.
In the mirror, Camille stared at the reflection of a young woman whose long and silky brown tresses were tangled and messy after everything she had gone through in the last few hours.
Lowering her gaze, she found a pair of wide and expressive violet eyes which caused her to pause in surprise.
This particular pair of violet eyes was something she was extremely familiar with as she had seen them every single day of her life.
After all, this was the only feature that bore any resemblence to her original body that belonged to the previous world.
This made Camille stare at them, admiring their beauty for a while longer before she returned to her senses.
Moving further downward, Camille realized that nothing else matched her previous face except for those eyes.
In her past life, she had a plain and indistinguishable face that could blend in with any crowd and not stand out by any means.
The only redeemable feature she possessed in her previous life were those eyes that brought attention to her face.
However, now this did not seem to be the case as the body she had acquired after moving into this world seemed to have a certain charm about it.
Anyone who laid eyes on this face would assume that she was a naive young lady who has not encountered the complexities of life.
There was a certain innocence in those wide eyes and demure features that even drew her into them.
Scanning herself, Camille realized that her figure was petite in size which only enhanced the naive and innocent appearance she possessed,
'Not even past five-six…' She clicked her tongue in dismay after noticing how short this body was.
For someone who had been five feet and nine inches until a while ago, this surely was a downgrade.
However, considering that she had no choice but to be grateful for this second chance at life, Camille was willing to accept everything she was given with open arms.
Once she had assessed and observed her new face and height, it was now time for her to get changed so that she might leave this place at the earliest.
Therefore, she picked up her pace as she took off the flimsy hospital gown before putting on the clothes the former owner of this body was wearing when she was brought into the hospital.
The hospital gown was loose-fitted and tacky but once she changed into the outfit this body had worn today, Camille was finally able to admire this body's appearance to its fullest extent.
The sleek black pants were snug against her waist and it was an appropriate match with the navy blue cardigan that was a couple of sizes bigger than her usual fit.
The original owner was worried that her brother would notice something odd about her figure and discover her secret so she opted for oversized clothing.
'What good did that do?' She sighed as the original Camille's secret had been exposed after all.
Thanks to this hospital visit, her brother was now not only fully aware of her secret pregrancy, he was also against it initially which made her shake her head in dismay at the conversation they had earlier.
However, she did not have time to mull over these matters when she heard sounds of footsteps coming from outside.
Realizing that her brother was waiting for her, she glanced at her reflection in the mirror one last time before deciding to head out.
Since there was no comb here, she could only use her fingers to tidy her messy hair and soon was ready to leave.
Camille took a deep breath to mentally prepare herself before she pushed the door open and stepped out of the bathroom.
The moment she returned to the hospital room, she noticed the presence of someone new.
There were not one but two men waiting for her which was not what she had expected to find when she returned.
However, the curiosity to know who this second person was lasted for only one second as the memories she had attained solved this mystery for her.
"Hello, Assistant Dory." She smiled, greeting the man who grimance the moment this name echoed in the otherwise silent room.
