Anya and Phil had gotten on well for two days since they took the baby back home from the hospital. Then Arthur arrived in Ustistan with Abigail.
Abigail made a diagnosis for Anya and gave a prescription to nurse her health. Anya thought it would be a lot of trouble to have Chiobar's herb. She even had to boil the herb herself, but she didn't know how to do it at all.
But Abigail told her one of her friends was running a Chiobar's Medicine Clinic here and could help boil the Chiobar's herb. She first gave the prescription for one month and told her friend to boil it and bring it to Anya's apartment. What Anya needed to do was store it in the fridge and drink it three times per day.
She had to give Anya a diagnosis again one month later and make some adjustments to the prescription. Abigail said she would come to visit her again by then.
Anya didn't have the heart to see Abigail travel long distances only for her treatment, then she said, "I'll be on holiday in a month. I'll return to the country to visit my mother and I can go for you then."
Anya had been back to the country only one time since she went study abroad. In fact, she had planned to return to the country to give birth to the baby. But the accident happened and she couldn't go back.
She always wanted to return to visit Lorie on holiday. Lorie had been worried about her. She thought Lorie would be a bit relieved if she went back to visit her.
Phil heard it and couldn't help raising his eyes to glance at her. He hadn't heard that she would like to return to the country to visit Lorie. Somehow, he couldn't bear to see her go back to the country and he just didn't want to part with her.
Since he went to Ustistan to stay with her and wait for the delivery of the baby, he had spent all the time together with Anya except that he had been on a business trip in Nortopia for some time.
Now he had a hard time accepting it when he suddenly heard that she was gonna return to the country, though she would leave one month later.
Though he was the one to suggest they should break up with each other and keep their distance from each other.
Abigail smiled and patted Anya lightly on her hand, "Don't feel guilty or stressed about it. After all, I always keep myself busy. Brandon and I travel around the world and provide medical assistance in places of war and poverty. We've been used to the life of flying around."
"Now Arthur and Jean can take care of the baby on their own, so Brandon and I will continue with our job of volunteering."
Abigail and Brandon were the best doctors ever. They didn't care about their own life and security. Instead, they would go to any place where they were needed.
Sometimes, people asked them whether they were afraid of dying in any accident. After all, the places they had been to were too dangerous for normal people. Most people treasured their own lives and they would rather enjoy themselves in a stable and safe place.
They were at the age of retirement and they could enjoy life and live out their lives comfortably. But they started their job providing medical assistance and went to places of war and poverty, which was hard for others to understand.
Whenever they were asked about it, they would explain peacefully that they loved their job as doctors and they were ready to die for it. Most importantly, they were doing it with the loved one and neither of them was left behind to keep waiting and worrying about the other. They had been going through thick and thin together and made a happy couple themselves.
Arthur was their only child and he got married and started his career. He lived happily and had run the hospital much better than they did. So, they had nothing to worry about.
As a doctor, Arthur understood his parents' choices and supported them. It didn't matter what others thought as long as they understood and supported each other as a family.
