My Boss Is A Pro
Even Kingsley couldn’t stifle hisugh and teased Benjamin. “I guess there are still some things you
don’t know, huh?”
Benjamin scowled in response.
Ethen turned around, trying to conceal a smile.
Bradley merely shot Benjamin a nce and dared notugh. Still, he greatly admired Arissa. My boss
is such a pro!
“Can we change hospitals?” Arissa asked Shaun.
With a nod, Shaun turned to Benjamin and began to exin after seeing thetter remain silent.
“Yes, but you’ll have to wait until Mary’s condition stabilizes. If nothing critical happens from now until
tomorrow, there won’t be any problem changing hospitals. She’ll just be transferring to Dellmoor,
anyway, not to some other hospital in Northstream.”
“Okay. I’ll let Mary know.”
Arissa nodded and returned to the ward.
“I’lle with you.”
Benjamin followed her.
Arissa paid him no attention.
She could feel the man giving her an asional nce, but she pretended not to notice.
“Are you upset?”
Benjamin’s lips curled slightly at the sight of the woman looking angry.
“I’m not!” Arissa huffed.
“You look like a puffer fish with your cheeks like that,” Benjamin remarked while pinching her face.
Arissa turned and red at him. “Did you ask Shaun to hide the truth from me?”
Benjamin’s brows knitted slightly. “Didn’t you see the report?”
The woman pursed her lips. It was true she had seen it.
“Is Mary really okay?”
Seeing how worried she looked, Benjamin gave her cheek another pinch.
“She’s fine. Shaun was telling you the truth. I initially told him not to, but that moron went against me
anyway!”
Arissa’s lips twitched. “Well, I would’ve found out sooner orter, wouldn’t I? In fact, I can take better
care of her now that I know how she’s doing!”
“Look. You’re frowning again.”
Benjamin reached for her forehead.
Evading his touch, the woman turned and headed into the ward.
Inside there, she saw only Gavin, Zachary, Jesse, and Tim.
“Where are Oliver and Jasper?”
“They went to take a poop, Mommy,” Zachary answered solemnly.
Nodding, Arissa stood next to Mary. “Is your head still hurting, Mary?”
“I’m much better now, thank you.” Mary just had her IV needle removed.
Then, Arissa noticed how the green on the back of Mary’s hand seemed to be spreading further. “Does
it hurt here, Mary?”
“Yes, from the needle.”

The elderly woman nced at her hand. She had grown ustomed to its appearance.
“We have to do something about this.” Arissa furrowed her brows tightly as her heart ached.
Will she be able to continue getting injected on this hand?
I can’t even see her veins anymore.
Tim walked over with a frown.
“This always happens to Grandma, Ms. York. Whenever she gets hurt, her small injuries turn into big
bruises. It takes about two weeks for the bruises to disappear,” he borated, feeling Arissa’s pain.
Arissa gazed at Mary in shock. “Is that true?”
“It is. I getrge bruises just from bumping into something, and it takes so long to heal,” the old woman
replied, not thinking much of her condition.
Hearing that, Benjamin exined, “This is a sign of diabetes. Even a small cut takes a long time to
heal. That’s because when your blood sugar levels are too high, your white blood cells be less
capable of fighting off infections.
Irregr blood sugar levels also cause your telets to gather excessively at the site of an injury,
which is good for stopping any bleeding, but not when ites to healing. In fact, high blood glucose
causes stiffening of your arteries and narrowing of your blood vessels, which then impair wound
healing because of insufficient blood supply.”
He continued, “Diabetes affects the nerves too, but it’s worse on the legs. You’d feel numb and weak,
and once you get hurt, you’d be increasingly less sensitive to pain.
All of these affect how your wounds heal. It’s not as bad if you get an injury on the upper limbs; you’d
probably just have a bruise. But if you get hurt on the lower limbs, every injury tends to grow into a
large patch. Your entire calf could even turn ck depending on how severe the injury is. These are
what reduce your body’s ability to heal wounds.”
