Be prepared?
What does she mean?
My heart aches, and I take a step back to balance myself.
I am nervous to hear what she's going to say.
But my eagerness to see him defeats the fear. I can't wait.
I grab Linda's hand tightly and say in a low voice.
"Where is he now? How is he? Could he be..."
He can't be dead!
But overdose often leads to death.
Frances is unconscious when he is taken away. He could die from oxygen deprivation.
I feel a twinge in my heart.
I can't imagine.
Linda stares at me for a while before she sighs, "Forget it, go and see with your own eyes."
"I thought I couldn't see him." I ask her in doubt.
Having begged that policewoman for so long, I'm told this is secret.
Now I don't even know if he's alive or dead.
I have a lot to say to him. I have a lot to do with him. I have a long life to share with him. He has to be
fine.
"Trust me, I know what to do." Linda gives me a comforting look and says in a low voice.
With Linda's assurance, I can't wait for a moment longer and urge her to bring me over immediately.
When we arrive, I find myself at the military hospital. Is he in there?
Guards can be seen patrolling every day, which can guarantee Frances’ safety.
When the car stops, I want to get inside and see him as soon as I can.
I must see him today!
"Slow down, don't rush in."
Linda holds my hand and we stand aside, waiting.
Why can't we go in?
I can't wait anymore.
But Linda has her reason.
I have no choice but to stand there with her and wait.
A doctor comes out and walks towards us.
He looks familiar, but I don't have the heart in knowing who he is. I think of only Frances now.
When Linda calls him brother, I realize that it turns out he looks like Linda!
He is Linda's brother!
No wonder she says she knows what to do.
"Frances is your patient, right? Can she pretend to be a nurse and go in with you?"
Linda whispers to her brother.
I have so many hopes in him.
Finally, I can see Frances!
He looks at me and frowns in embarrassment, "One of my nurses happens to be on leave. But there
are strict rules in military hospital. She looks nothing like that nurse."
"Easy. Just show me her picture."
Her brother takes out his phone and gives Linda the picture.
Linda goes out and makes a phone call. Then the special effects makeup artist comes soon later.
Asians look way different from Caucasians. But with the help of the makeup artist, I can even play a
man. To play another woman is as easy as pie.
Not long after, the makeup is done. Wearing a wig, I look much like that nurse.
Dressed as a nurse, I put on a mask and a nurse's cap, and follow the doctor into the hospital in
trepidation.
