Zander helped Odessa to board the carriage. He just sent a message to his mother that they would go out to see a doctor. Renaria and Baroness Munchefort were both busy in the kitchen of the manor. The Baroness would be returning soon, and Renaria was teaching her how to cook the dessert that the Baroness came to love.
Zander thought that Odessa was feeling competitive and only wanted to be the first patient to be checked. He could not think of any other reason.
Odessa somewhat guessed what Zander was thinking. She could choose to let it slide, but she felt that he should understand something.
"Zander, I want to be the first one that the doctor would check to ease my worries of possible infection. I'm not sure if the patient before me has no communicable disease that the doctor might accidentally transfer to me. If I'm the first patient, I can feel more at ease."
