The More the Merrier novel Chapter 507

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.”

He also checked the ultrasonogram.

At the same time, Shaun caught the doctor’s attention and pointed at the ultrasonogram, “Move the wand a bit. Look over here!”

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 Mary’s abdomen and helped her to her feet.

She also asked, “Can Mdm. Mary use the restroom now, Mr. Bailey?”

“Right, remember to collect samples of her urine and feces,” reminded Shaun.

Arissa grabbed Mary’s crutches and assisted the woman as she walked.

Meanwhile, Mary knitted her brows and asked Shaun, “Were there any major issues during the examination?”

Calmly, Shaun answered, “Everything’s fine. There might be some inflammation, but it’s not a big deal.”

That earned him a disbelieving stare from Mary, which prompted Shaun to insist, “Everything’s really fine. It’s just some inflammation. We’ll need to do some more tests to check on everything else.”

With that, Shaun hastily helped Mary to hobble out of the room.
