But she didn’t think too much either, because she could hear the sound of wheels rolling and it was most probably the nurse who was pushing the trolley t o her room.
Sure enough, it was a nurse who came.
The nurse helped her remove the existing drip and replaced it with a new one. She then asked Yvonne about her body condition and left after confirming that everything was alright.
Not long after the nurse left, Yvonne felt a little drowsy.
She didn't fight against the drowsiness. After she adjusted her sleeping position laboriously, she finally fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already night time.
Sam was sitting next to Yvonne's bed as he held something in his hand and was staring at it attentively. He heard a muffled voice so he immediately put down the thing in his hand and said, "You're awake?"
"Brother?" Yvonne moved her neck and called out in a hoarse voice.
The way she called him "brother" sounded more natural than earlier today.
Sam smiled, "Are you hungry?"
Yvonne shook her head. "I want some water."
"Wait a minute." Sam helped her up and grabbed a pillow to cushion her back before letting her lean on the head of the bed. He then poured her a glass of water.
Yvonne took the straw and thanked him before drinking slowly while holding the straw.
After drinking the water, Sam pulled the straw back and placed it on the bed with the glass. He then picked up the thing that he put down earlier and stuffed it into her hand. "Guess what this is?" i
Yvonne's hand was severely burned and the bandages were still tightly wrapped. She couldn't feel anything o n her hand at all.
But since he said so, there must be something in her hand.
"I don't know," Yvonne replied truthfully.
Sam smiled, "Here are your identification card, passport, and visa."
Yvonne was a little surprised to hear that. "It's done already?"
She thought it would take at least one day before it was done.
"Dad and the head of the embassy are friends, so the process was very fast," Sam explained.
Yvonne nodded and said, "Unfortunately, I can't see what the passport in my hand looks like. Brother, when can I remove the bandage off my eyes?"
"The doctor said that your eyes were also heavily affected by the smoke, so that's why he put bandages o n you. But it should be removed soon-I'll ask the doctor." He then pressed the emergency button on the bedside.
Within two minutes, the doctor came and he was breathing heavily as if he had just run over, "What happened to the patient?"
Sam pointed to Yvonne and said, "The patient is okay. I just want you to take a look at my sister's eyes."
When Yvonne heard him calling her "sister,” she felt a little shy but she was moved.
"Eyes?" The doctor was shocked. "Is there any problem with her eyes?"
"No, my sister is going to see someone tomorrow and she wants to remove the bandages on her eyes. Can you please take a look and see if you can remove it?" Sam asked.
When the doctor heard this, he walked to Yvonne and said, "I'll take a look at the patient's eyes."
"Okay, thank you." Sam nodded.
The doctor took out a pair of medical gloves from the pocket of his lab coat and put them on. He then reached out and touched Yvonne's eyes.
The doctor may have accidentally pressed on the burn near her eyes, and she shrank her body in pain.
When Sam saw this, he put his hand on her shoulder and said softly, "It'll be okay. Just hold it in."
"Okay," Yvonne answered.
Sam looked at the doctor. "How is it?"
"I’ll remove some of the bandages and let her feel the light source. If her eyes tingle a little but she has no blurry sight, she can remove the bandage on her eyes," the doctor replied as he took out a small pair of scissors from his pocket.
When Sam realized that he was about to cut the bandage, he moved a little to the side to give the doctor more room to perform the cut.
Soon, the bandages on Yvonne's eyes were cut open, revealing her beautiful almond eyes.
