Chapter 1826

Treatment

“What’s the matter?” Upon seeing his frown, Arielle placed her hand on his. Instead of replying verbally,
Vinson handed the phone to her.

The instant she read the content of the text, she understood why he had that expression. If she were in
his shoe, she also wouldn’t know what to do.

After all, Gaspar was Vinson’s brother. As much as Vinson didn’t want to admit it, both of them were
related by blood. The situation was just like the one between her and Aaron. While she really didn’t
want to regard Aaron as her little brother, she still did it in the end because it felt pretty good to have an
additional family member.

The difference between her and Vinson’s situation was that this half-brother of his was very hostile
toward him. Time and time again, Gaspar tried to kill Vinson. That was totally unacceptable to her.

“What’s your plan? Are you going to do as this message instructed?” Staring at Vinson, Arielle assured,
“I’ll support whatever you decide to do.”

“I need to go back and ask Mom what’s the problem with him before I decide how to deal with this
matter.” He sighed. Susanne didn’t give a clear explanation on the phone last time. If he wanted to
understand the details of the situation, he had to go back and ask her about it.

Then he turned to Arielle. “What did you want me to see?”

She turned on her phone again and handed it to him.

He had no medical background, so he didn’t understand what he was reading. “What does this mean?
Is she feeling unwell somewhere?”



After staring at Vinson for a while, Arielle uttered with a dark expression, “It’s likely that Mom has a
brain tumor.”

“B-Brain tumor?” Vinson, who was usually calm, couldn’t maintain his composure when he heard that.

“Yesterday, Mom mentioned she gets mild headaches occasionally. So, I took her to the hospital for a
checkup.” Holding his hand, she continued in a serious tone, “Let me handle Mom. I’ll do my best to
treat her.”

What was still unknown to her at that point was whether the tumor was benign or malignant. Things
would be okay if the tumor were benign. However, if it was malignant…

In any case, she still had to come up with a plan to take Susanne to a comprehensive checkup.

“Do you think we should tell Mom about her condition?” Arielle asked. She really had no idea what
excuse she could use to bring Susanne for a checkup. After all, once the checkup was done, Susanne
would need to receive treatment. Arielle didn’t actually like the idea of hiding the matter from her.

“I don’t think we can hide it from her since she’ll need to receive treatment. She has a strong mental
strength, so I think she can handle it.” In the first few years after Vinson’s father’s passing, Vinson was
still young, so Susanne was the one who carried the burden of managing Nightshire Group on her
shoulder. That was why he believed his mother could handle it.

“So… I should break the news to Mom?”

“We’ll do it together.” He didn’t want Arielle to handle the matter alone. After all, he should be
responsible for his own mother.

After taking care of his things, Vinson returned home with Arielle. When Susanne, who was watering
the plants, saw both of them returning at the same time, she was surprised.



“Let’s talk inside the house, Mom. There are some things Vinson wants to ask you about.” Arielle
approached the older woman before grabbing the watering can in Susanne’s hand and putting it on the
side. Then, she held her mother-in-law’s hand and entered the house together.

“What do you want to ask me about?” Susanne had a very strong feeling that something was going on,
considering the couple had returned together.
