Chapter 1828 Brain Tumor
“I’m listening,” Susanne replied casually as she stared at Arielle’s belly. I wonder when I can hold my grandchild. When she imagined a couple of children calling her Grandma in the future, her lips couldn’t help but curve upward slightly.
“After you went through a checkup at the hospital yesterday, the doctor sent us a report saying that there’s a tumor in your brain, Mom.” Knowing that he couldn’t hide the matter at all, Vinson went straight to the point.
“Oh, okay. Got it.” Seeing how calm his mother appeared to be, he quickly added, “Don’t worry. With Sannie around, you’ll be fine.”
“Worry? Why would I need to worry?” A confused expression was visible on Susanne’s face as she turned to Vinson.
“Yes, there’s nothing for you to worry about.” Vinson let out a sigh of relief inwardly when he saw how composed his mother was. While he was pretty certain his mother would take the news well, he was still worried that she wouldn’t.
“In that case, we’ll head to the hospital later and do another CT or MRI scan. This way, we’ll know if your tumor is benign or malignant.” Arielle held Susanne’s hand.
“What do you mean by that, Arielle? What’s benign or malignant?” The older woman stared at the younger woman, stunned. “Are you saying there’s a t-tumor in my head?”
“Mom, you…” Seeing Susanne’s response, Arielle spoke hesitantly. “Didn’t Vinson just tell you that you have a brain tumor?”
Susanne immediately let go of Arielle’s hand when she heard that. I got a brain tumor! Will I be able to live long enough to see my grandchild? See them walk and go to school?
The instant Arielle saw her mother-in-law acting like that, she knew the older woman didn’t hear what Vinson said clearly. Quickly, she grabbed Susanne’s hand and said in a serious tone, “Don’t you trust my medical skills, Mom? With me around, you’ll definitely be fine. Right now, we just need to relax and focus on the treatment. You’ll surely recover.”
“Death no longer scares me, Sannie. It’s just that I haven’t seen you and Vinson’s children yet. If I die before I meet them, I’ll have regrets, and I won’t know how to face Vinson’s father when I go to the afterlife.”
“With me around, there is no doubt that you’ll be able to live a long life, Mom,” Arielle said resolutely. I need to find a chance to have a proper talk with Vinson. Regardless of what kind of tumor is growing in Susanne’s head, I must make Vinson cooperate with me and conceive a child. It’s not just my idea. It’s Susanne’s too. She’s getting pretty old now, so I don’t want her to keep waiting for the chance to spend time with a grandchild.
“You must believe in Sannie’s medical skills, Mom.” It was apparent to Vinson that his mother didn’t hear him correctly the first time around.
Since Susanne was still staying silent, Arielle spoke up. “If you’re still worried, I can ask my foster parents to come over. Will that put you at ease?”
“Your foster parents?” The older woman shook her hand. “There’s no need to trouble them.”
“It’s not that big a deal. I’ve already asked them to open a clinic here. It’s being delayed for the moment because they still haven’t found a good spot yet. If I ask them to come, it’ll just advance the plan ahead of schedule.”
Since Arielle had said that, Susanne found no reason to refuse. Although, it was quite obvious the latter was feeling down.
