“She seemed familiar. I just wanted to confirm if she’s an old friend.”

“I understand. Let me check with her and see if she’s willing to speak with you,” the doctor offered before heading back into the office.

“Doctor, we try to keep her safe, but my daughter is a little whirlwind. The second we take our eyes off her, she’s up to some mischief,” Mary said, attempting to justify the situation.

“There’s no need to worry. I’ll administer medication to fight the infection. The fever is just her body’s way of reacting to the illness. With the medicine, she’ll recover quickly.”
