Assessing Her New Appearance

"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 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 flat for now.

Until now, everything that had taken place had been too surreal for him but now he was beginning to face the reality of the situation.

His baby sister was going to become a mother soon and he, an uncle to the child that would be born.

There was a strange pit in his stomach when he thought of the heavier responsibilities that would fall on his shoulders.

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, he noticed his sister getting off the bed.

Just as he was about to help her up, she smiled before shaking her head.

"I need 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 need 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 she could.

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 while she was out of earshot.

Looking around the now empty room, he decided to gather those items which they would be needing to take along with them before they could leave.

___

Standing before the mirror inside the well-lit bathroom, Camille finally got the opportunity to take a look at her new appearance.

In the transmigration novels she had read, the female lead who moves to 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 wasn't in accordance with either of these cases as her current body was neither ethereal nor was it identical to her previous appearance.

In the mirror before her, all Camille could see were long silky brown tresses that were unkempt and shuffled after everything she had gone through in the past few hours.

Looking lower, her gaze met with a pair of expressive violet eyes which she was stunned to find.

After all, this pair of eyes was the only feature that resembled the appearance she possessed in her previous life.

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 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 to 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 that even drew her into them.

To match the naive and innocent appearance she had, her body too was petite in size.

'Not even past five-six…' She clicked her tongue after estimating how tall this body was.

For someone who had been five feet and eight 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 which had led her to opt for bigger-sized clothing.

'What good did that do?' She sighed as the original Camille had been caught either way.

Her secret pregnancy had been exposed to her brother thanks to the hospital visit so she could only shake her head in dismay.

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 sort out her messy hair and soon was ready to leave.

Camille mentally prepared herself before she pushed the door open but just as she stepped out of the bathroom, 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.

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 while greeting the man who grimaced when his name echoed in the silent room.
