“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

“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.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn 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.”
Vinson 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.
