After dinner, Nathan went upstairs to take a shower, and while he was detained, a car pulled up in the driveway. Helen's family doctor had arrived, and he had several of his assistants with him.
When Nanny Elma saw the car, she called Helen into the living room and said, "Helen, your family doctor is here. Mrs. Bush has ordered regular, daily examinations for you, along with some regular tests like taking your temperature and blood pressure."
"Okay." Helen sat down on the couch and said, "Let him in."
