[Emma] Becoming Jane Fairfax

Y city hospital in 2016

The young girl with all kinds of tubes inserted was pale, and her chubby cheeks were sunken when she was sent to the hospital. She lay motionless, as if she was asleep, without even moving her eyelashes.

Three months ago, she had a car accident.

"Is she still unresponsive today?" The doctor stood in front of the bed and took notes.

The nurse gave the girl a sympathetic look and shook her head: "No, there is no reaction at all."

The doctor frowned: "Didn't you move your fingers twice yesterday?"

"Yes, but there is no response today." The nurse tucked the corner of the quilt and sighed, "It's been almost three months since it was delivered, except for a few of her classmates and friends, now even her parents are gone. How pathetic."

The doctor who was used to seeing life and death twitched his mouth: "Her parents are divorced, and each has a family. You see, before she was asked to pay the operation fee, her parents pushed her back and refused to take the money. Alas, let's go."

Miss Bates held her niece's white and thin hand, and murmured confusedly.

"My poor Jane, she left us since she was a child. Fortunately, Colonel Campbell's family are all respectable people, otherwise they would have to suffer with us. Oh, my poor Jane, after finally coming back, she was caught in the rain on the road, I have a high fever, why hasn't Dr. Perry come yet? I haven't dared to tell my mother that Jane is sick. If my mother knows, she will be in a hurry. There can't be another patient in the family at this time. Why hasn't Dr. Perry arrived yet? Poor Jane, red and hot, must be suffering."

"Mr. Wei, hello, I am the attending doctor of your daughter Wei Lai. Wei Lai's current situation is like this... Mr. Wei, you have misunderstood. I am not here to urge you to pay the bill. Of course, your daughter's hospitalization fee is indeed not enough... ..You are on a business trip, when will you come back... Hey, hello, Mr. Wei, Mr. Wei..."

"Ms. Li, hello, I am Wei Lai's attending doctor, and Wei Lai's current... oh, you are also on a business trip?When can you come to the hospital?Looking for your ex-husband?This is... hello, hello, Ms. Li..."

"I've never seen such an irresponsible parent!" Just as the doctor hung up the phone, the nurse rushed in panting: "No. 51, Wei Lai, something is wrong!"

"Dr. Perry, you are finally here. Come and see my poor Jane. Hush, please keep your voice down. My mother didn't know that Jane was sick. Yes, I didn't dare to tell her, otherwise my mother would be in a panic When did you have a fever? Last night. Jane came back yesterday afternoon. In the evening we made stewed pork leg, which was sent by Mr. Knightley. Mr. Knightley is a good man. He also made baked apples. Loves baked apples, but last night she didn't even finish half of them. Oops, I'm so stupid, I should have thought that Jane was sick. I didn't realize she had a fever until I went to bed at night, and I was so anxious , did not sleep all night, and I sent Patty to fetch you at dawn. My poor Jane."

drop----

The piercing sound expanded infinitely in the ward, and the girl's electrocardiogram became a terrifying straight line.

She lay there quietly, as if asleep.

Highbury, England, late 18th century

Miss Bates' surprised and delighted voice sounded in the small dim room: "Jane, you're awake. Dr. Perry, Jane's awake! I really don't know how to thank you, let's have some baked apples, you said before Baked apples are very good for the body..."

Amid Miss Bates' noisy chatter, Wei Lai woke up.

The whistling wind and the pattering rain filled her ears, and the small cluster of dying fires in the dark room pulled Wei Lai's thoughts.The woman beside her was still talking about something: "That's great, my poor Jane..."

This is……

Isn't she dead?

Also, she heard... English?

Before Wei Lai pinched himself to see if he was dreaming, the woman suddenly grabbed her arm, held her cold hand and rubbed it up and down.

Wei Lai was completely dumbfounded.

Warm, rough, so real touch.

No, this is not her room, let alone a ward.The room was not big, with only a small window. There was only a small candle that was about to be used up in the room. The light was dim, and there was a faint musty smell.

The things in this room looked a bit old, but everything was in the western and retro style she had seen in British dramas.

What's more, the woman holding her hand is still a foreigner, with deep eye sockets, high nose bridge, dense freckles on both cheeks, and flaxen hair protruding from the brim of the white hat. Stop saying something.

Wei Lai collected himself and finally understood her words.

"Jane, would you like something to eat? Something to drink? Let me warm up the stewed pork leg last night, no, no, no, Dr. Perry said that you should eat something easy to digest now, not greasy, you Want some baked apples? Your favorite baked apples, you..."

Miss Bates sat on the edge of the bed, tightly holding Jane's hand, and finally realized that there was something wrong with her niece's expression.

Looking into her eyes was like looking at a stranger.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Are you uncomfortable? Dr. Perry shouldn't have gone far, I'll go out and stop him now, oh no, maybe he'll be gone by the time I get out, Dr. Perry walks very fast, I'm still calling him here, hoping he'll hear."

As soon as Miss Bates stood up, she was stopped by Wei Lai.

"simple?"

Wei Lai took a deep breath: "Jane?" She frightened herself as soon as she opened her mouth.what's the situation?Why English?Still English!It sounds so good!

This unscientific!

She's not from the English department, and she barely passed the fourth grade after taking the exam three times!The sixth grade simply didn't pass the exam!In terms of her poor English, it's normal not to be able to understand or speak.What's going on in all this?Didn't she die in a car accident?How could it be in such a strange place?

There is a small palm-sized mirror on the bedside table on the left. From the mirror, Wei Lai saw her current appearance.

...It almost scared her to faint.

She changed from a yellow-skinned Chinese to a white-skinned foreigner!

What is the situation?America in the next life?

What happened in this short period of time was enough for Wei Lai to ponder for a long time. It seemed that something unscientific happened to her.She put the mirror back on the bedside table and tucked in under the covers, when there was a knock at the door, Miss Bates stood up and looked worriedly at her sick niece.

"I don't know who is here. Jane is sick." Miss Bates went out to open the door while talking.

After a while, she returned with the two young girls.

"Jane, look who is here. It's Miss Woodhouse and Miss Smith. Miss Woodhouse also specially brought apples and pork leg. Miss Woodhouse, you are so generous." Apple and pork leg The arrival of Meat and Miss Woodhouse made Miss Bates very excited, and when she was excited, she chattered more and talked non-stop.

Wei Lai could clearly see the two girls standing beside her bed by the dying candles in the room.

The girl standing in front was tall, a little plump, just right for her height, with golden curly hair pulled back, a slender neck, big and bright eyes, green eyeballs as beautiful as glass beads, absolutely Undoubtedly, she was beautiful, a beauty of natural self-confidence, and she must have been Miss Woodhouse who brought the apples and pork shank.

Miss Smith who stood behind was shorter and thinner, her face was as pale as the sick Jane, not as confident and generous as Miss Woodhouse, she was a little timid, standing behind Miss Woodhouse, Wei Lai almost None of them noticed her.

I don't know if it's her illusion. Although this Miss Woodhouse is polite and thoughtful, she doesn't seem to like Jane very much.

Miss Bates, who was pulled from the pork leg to her mother's glasses, seemed to realize suddenly that the two guests hadn't been given chairs and tea, which was a very rude reception.

Her mouth only stopped for a second or two, and then began to move again: "Miss Woodhouse, Miss Smith, I'm so sorry, I'm so confused, I'll go get a chair and make tea right away, and please forgive Jane for being sick I can only lie on the bed and rest. Dr. Perry just came. He said to take a good rest briefly. Seeing that I have said so much, Miss Woodhouse understands me. I like talking the most. I should go get a chair... ..."

Miss Woodhouse probably didn't like the noisy lady very much either. Wei Lai was keenly aware of her impatience with the noisy lady, but she still had to smile politely, her face froze.

"Miss Fairfax, are you feeling better?" Miss Woodhouse took the initiative to ask, her voice was brisk, and she was a lively girl.

It turned out that the girl whose body she occupied was Jane Fairfax.

and many more……

Jane Fairfax? ? ?Why does it sound familiar.

Wei Lai didn't have time to think about it, and he didn't know how Jane fell ill or what kind of illness he had, so he replied casually, "It's much better, thank you for your concern."

Miss Woodhouse breathed a sigh of relief as if she really cared about Jane: "That's good. We heard that you came back from London a few days ago, and we wanted to invite you to our dance, but you suddenly fell ill. It's a pity, but yesterday's ball was a very good one, and everyone had a good time, Harriet, don't you think?"

Harriet Smith nodded hastily: "Yes, it's very exciting. It's a pity that Miss Fairfax didn't participate."

Wei Lai made a regretful expression: "Is it really that wonderful? What I said made me feel even more regrettable."

After finishing speaking, the three of them seemed to have finished talking. They didn't know what to talk about to continue, so they could only smile at each other and waited for Miss Bates' tea.

Fortunately, the silence didn't last long, and Miss Bates' familiar voice came in time to resolve the embarrassment: "Miss Woodhouse, Miss Smith, I'm so sorry for making you stand for so long, please sit down, please wait a little longer, I made tea, and baked apples, very nice baked apples, but not from Miss Woodhouse, but from Mr. Knightley."

"Mr. Knightley?" Miss Woodhouse's eyes widened.

"Yes, Mr. Knightley is a generous gentleman. Knowing that Jane is back, he specially sent apples and pork leg. We stewed the pork leg he sent last night. Unfortunately, Jane was ill and didn't eat much. The pig The leg meat is very tasty and not greasy at all."

Miss Woodhouse drank her tea in silence, smiled, and said nothing.

Wei Lai glanced at her expression with the end of his eyes, and thought: There should be no love between Jane and Knightley, if she remembers correctly.

Yes, Wei Lai remembered when Miss Bates mentioned Mr. Knightley.

Her university major is journalism, and because the journalism department has few students, she is arranged in the same dormitory building as the English department, which also has few people. One of her roommates is an English department student, and she once told them the story of "Emma".Although it has been a long time, she has long been unable to remember the specific plot, but she has a deep memory of Mr. Knightley, who can be compared with the famous Darcy in Jane Austen's characters.

This Miss Woodhouse, then, is the heroine, Emma Woodhouse.

Suddenly a cloud of dark clouds floated in the sky, a few gusts of wind blew past, and a torrential rain fell.

Emma looked out the window, confirmed that the rain had stopped temporarily, and said goodbye to Miss Bates and Wei Lai: "I don't know when it will rain again. Harriet and I didn't bring an umbrella, so we should say goodbye."

"Leave now? Thank you very much for visiting Jane with Miss Smith, and bringing such good apples and pork leg. I really don't know how to thank you. I dare say that because of your visit, Jane's illness has passed All right, isn't it, Jane? Listen, she's coughing up now."

After Emma said something like "You're welcome" and "You're welcome", she took her bag and hat, and stood at the door to say that she really wanted to leave.

Before she left, she thought of something, turned to Wei Lai and said, "Mrs. Weston told me that Frank Churchill is coming back. There will be a dinner party at the Weston's house the day after tomorrow. I think Miss Bates has received Weston's An invitation from my family, Miss Fairfax, and I hope you will be well enough to attend by then."

Frank Churchill…

A bolt of lightning exploded in Wei Lai's mind!

Isn't that the fiancé to whom Jane Fairfax is secretly engaged!
