Arissa merely replied to Mary, âItâs 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. Donât worry about it!â
Mary smiled at the young womanâs efforts to reassure her.
Once they arrived at the examination room, Arissa accompanied Mary inside.
Mary advised, âWhy donât you wait outside, Issa? The doctor and nurse will tend to me.â
âItâs fine. I donât have anything else to do, so Iâll sit with you.â
Arissa promptly refuted Maryâs arguments and assisted the old woman onto the hospital bed under the doctorâs instructions.
She eventually sat with Mary throughout the entire examination while Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper waited outside.
Outside, Shaun reminded the four boys, âBe good boys while you wait here. Iâm going to check on Mdm. Mary.â
He did not trust the doctor in this hospital to do a careful enough job of examining Mary.
Gavin quickly piped up, âDonât worry, Mr. Bailey. Hurry on inside!â
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, âPlease relax, Mdm. Mary.â
He also checked the ultrasonogram.
At the same time, Shaun caught the doctorâs attention and pointed at the ultrasonogram, âMove the wand a bit. Look over here!â
Arissa grew nervous as she observed Shaun frowning and appearing more serious.
She would have asked if something was horribly wrong if Mary was not in the room.
The examination was completed ten minutes later. Arissa cleaned the ultrasound gel off Maryâs abdomen and helped her to her feet.
She also asked, âCan Mdm. Mary use the restroom now, Mr. Bailey?â
âRight, remember to collect samples of her urine and feces,â reminded Shaun.
Arissa grabbed Maryâs crutches and assisted the woman as she walked.
Meanwhile, Mary knitted her brows and asked Shaun, âWere there any major issues during the examination?â
Calmly, Shaun answered, âEverythingâs fine. There might be some inflammation, but itâs not a big deal.â
That earned him a disbelieving stare from Mary, which prompted Shaun to insist, âEverythingâs really fine. Itâs just some inflammation. Weâll need to do some more tests to check on everything else.â
With that, Shaun hastily helped Mary to hobble out of the room.
Arissa coaxed her, âDonât worry, Mdm. Mary. Letâs just focus on the tests for now!â
âAll right!â Mary nodded in response.
After helping Mary into the restroom, Arissa left to retrieve some sample cups.
Still, she called out worriedly, âCan you support yourself in there, Mdm. Mary?â
âYes!â
Mary received the sample cups from Arissa and entered a cubicle. âJust wait outside, Issa!â
âIâll wait here. Once youâre done, pass the sample cups to me under the cubicle door. Iâll hand it to the doctor for further tests.â
At the same time, Arissa explained the usage instructions of the sample cup to Mary.
Horrified by Arissaâs lack of disgust, Mary sputtered, âItâs fine. Really, Iâll do it myself! Itâs too dirty.â
Arissa merely smiled and reassured her, âItâs fine. Donât hold it in for too long, Mdm. Mary. Itâs not good for your body.â
Mary eventually relented and collected her urine and feces samples.
âOnce youâve urinated, Mdm. Mary, pass me the urine sample cup first. Be careful not to spill it.â
âIâll give it to the doctor!â Mary did not want Arissa to dirty her hands touching the sample cup.
Arissa stood her ground. âItâs fine. Quick, pass it out to me, or Iâll stay in the restroom until you do so!â

The younger woman placed it in a basket before calling out, âHave something to clean your hands, Mdm. Mary!â
Then, she passed two pieces of wet wipes under the cubicle door.
âAll right, Issa. Off you go now!â
Mary immediately urged her to leave after receiving the wet wipes.
âYou have enough tissues inside, right?â
Arissa only left with the urine sample cup after Maryâs confirmation.
She shouted, âJust wait for a bit once youâre done, Mdm. Mary. Iâll be back in a jiff!â
With that, Arissa finally left the restroom.
Shaun was waiting right outside the door and said, âYou can hand it to me.â
He was surprised that Arissa did not mind touching the sample cup at all.
