The More the Merrier

Arissa merely replied to Mary, “It’s not tiring, Mdm. Mary. I have to prepare breakfast for Gavin and the rest anyway, so it was no trouble to make a little extra! Gavin and Zachary helped out too. Don’t worry about it!”

Mary smiled at the young woman’s efforts to reassure her.

Once they arrived at the examination room, Arissa accompanied Mary inside.

Mary advised, “Why don’t you wait outside, Issa? The doctor and nurse will tend to me.”

“It’s fine. I don’t have anything else to do, so I’ll sit with you.”

Arissa promptly refuted Mary’s arguments and assisted the old woman onto the hospital bed under the doctor’s instructions.

She eventually sat with Mary throughout the entire examination while Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper waited outside.

Outside, Shaun reminded the four boys, “Be good boys while you wait here. I’m going to check on Mdm. Mary.”

He did not trust the doctor in this hospital to do a careful enough job of examining Mary.

Gavin quickly piped up, “Don’t worry, Mr. Bailey. Hurry on inside!”

He promised he would look after his younger brothers.

Shaun glanced at them before telling a bodyguard to keep an eye on the boys. Then, he entered the examination room.

Once he was inside, he coaxed, “Please relax, Mdm. Mary.”
