Unlike his father who follows his advice not to bother his uncle to pick him up, Mrs. Rivers instead insists that her relatives have to fetch him. She keeps asking Stairmount about the time when he departs for Jadeite. In the end, Stairmount is forced to tell Mrs. Rivers, and just as he expects, her relatives send a message that they will fetch him at the terminal while he is on the flying bus.
"Schynn, I am Aunt Ashley. Your uncle can't fetch you because he has some business, so it is me who fetch you."
Aunt Ashley is Mrs. Rivers' sister-in-law, the one who is closer to him must be his uncle since he is Mrs. Rivers' brother, so that it must be his uncle who fetches him. Stairmount sends a telepathic message. "Ouch, I am so sorry for bothering you, Auntie..." He feels uneasy about bothering them.
Arriving at the terminal, he quickly finds that Aunt Ashley is waving at him, "Schynn! You are Schynn, right?!"
"Yes, I am. And you, Aunt Ashley?"
The woman in her late forties nods. Aunt Ashley is very fashionable, with very elegant makeup as well. Too fashionable and elegant, even Jupiterian people themselves rarely dress like her. She immediately approaches Stairmount, says cheerfully, "That's right, it's you! Gosh, we never met before, huh! I only saw you from the news on the cyber monitor!"
Stairmount just curves a little smile as response. "How are you, Auntie?"
Aunt Ashley takes him into her flying car. "Well... not in good condition, Schynn. Your grandma falls sick, so your uncle has to look after her. That's why he can't come to fetch you."
Aunt Ashley presses the button on the dashboard, then the flying car immediately flies rapidly. Stairmount asks, "Grandma falls sick? Of what kind of disease?" Different from his grandpa and grandma from his father's relatives who have passed away, his grandma from his mother is still alive.
"The doctor says, Fuxa."
"Grandma has got Anti-Pathogen?"
"Yes, so complete. She has even got the specific one, for Fuxa Z. Are you the one who suggests the importance of taking the specific Anti-Pathogen? Your mother always cautions us to follow your advice!"
"Ah, yes..." Stairmount smiles sheepishly. Her mother is sometimes more exaggerated than her father when it comes to being proud of him. Stairmount feels bashful, anyway, since Mrs. Rivers always forces her entire family to absolutely follow his advice in the healthcare sector - just like obeying the order of God.

"But how come somebody can still get Fuxa, they have got complete anti-pathogen, anyway?..." Aunt Ashley looks confused.
"How is Grandma now?"
"She feels unwell. Her condition drops day by day. That's why no one dares to leave her alone." Aunt Ashley is mused. "So strange, then what's the benefit of taking anti-pathogens, after all?"
"Where is Grandma right now?"
"At home, doing self-isolation."
"Can you take me there?"
"But your grandma is in self-isolation. No one can visit her, you know. And aren't you afraid of getting infected?"
"Not a big problem. I'm not afraid of Fuxa," Stairmount says reassuringly. "Besides, I've been researching anti-pathogens all this time, the purpose is to help people, then how come I don't use it to heal my own grandmother? It's my duty to heal my own grandmother."
"You are a real filial grandson, Schynn. I am so proud of you. Alright! Let's go to your grandma's house!"
***
Despite being in self-isolation at home, since Stairmount's grandmother is eighty-eight years old, Mrs. Rivers' relatives are worried about leaving her only by herself at home, especially as her condition is getting worse day by day. Mrs. Rivers has two brothers and a sister, including Uncle Alan, her younger uncle, and Uncle Andrew the husband of Aunt Ashley, so the three of them take turns in taking care of her while staying in another room.
"Has Mom been informed about this?" Stairmount asks as he enters the house.
Uncle Andrew nods. "I just told her yesterday."
Stairmount steps into his grandmother's bedroom. The elder woman is surprised as she sees him, "Eh, you?..."
"I am Schynn, Grandma," Stairmount replies quickly.
"My goodness, how do you get here?... And, I am now doing self-isolation, don't come in! Or else, you'll get infected!"
"No problem, Grandma. I indeed want to examine you." Stairmount takes a seat next to his grandmother's bed. "Well, I'll examine you for a moment, okay?"
Stairmount soon examines his grandmother, but a moment later, he gawks. "This... is not Fuxa..."
"Not Fuxa? But, the doctor says, Protomoeba Test has shown that this is Fuxa?"
"Are you feeling better after taking the medicine?"
"Eh... it is getting even worse instead..."
"It must be... Antivyroxin shouldn't be used in this situation... This... I don't understand what's going on... but it seems that this pathogen will be fiercer if we use Antivyroxin!"
*) Antivyroxin = similar to Antibiotics on Earth, but on this Planet the doctors use this to diminish the Pathogens.
"Really!?"
Stairmount comes out of his grandmother's room and immediately approaches Uncle Andrew. "Uncle Andrew, Grandma is not infected by Fuxa!"
"But, the doctor says, according to the results of the Protomoeba Test, this is Fuxa!"
"It does look similar with Fuxa... but the symptoms... it's not the symptoms of Fuxa..."
"Really!??!"
"Who's the doctor in charge of Grandma?" Stairmount urges. "I want to ask him."
