That afternoon, Susanne was accompanied by Vinson and Arielle to do an MRI scan. Two hours later, the report was out and confirmed that the older woman's tumor was a benign one. It was such a relief for the three of them.
“Mom, Vinson had already arranged for you to be admitted. If nothing goes wrong, I'll operate on you and remove that tumor tomorrow,” Arielle informed in a gentle voice as she held Susanne's arm.
“I know. I trust you.” With a smile, Susanne patted Arielle's hand.
During the examination, the doctor said that if the tumor weren't discovered in time, it would've turned into a malignant one in the future. When that happened, even an operation wouldn't be able to save Susanne. At most, she would only be able to live a couple more months.
That was why she was very grateful for what Arielle did. If the younger woman hadn't insisted that she went for a checkup, she wouldn't have found out about the tumor.
As the women spoke, Vinson returned and brought his mother into the VIP ward upstairs. After Susanne changed into a patient's garb, Arielle brought dinner for her. It was the same dish she had asked Maureen's Kitchen to prepare for Susanne in the past.
After Susanne finished her dinner, she chased the couple away. “You two should head back quickly. I may be in the hospital right now, but nothing's happening to me. You two can stay and accompany me after my operation is over.”
After all, the hospital had plenty of doctors and nurses taking care of her. Thus, she didn't need the couple to stick around.
Since Arielle had something to talk to Vinson about, she decided to listen to Susanne and returned home with Vinson. Before they left, she told her mother-in-law a bunch of things and reminded her to call for a nurse if she felt any discomfort1. Susanne complained about their nagging and sent them away.
As the couple hadn't eaten dinner yet, Arielle went straight into the kitchen after they returned to Nightshire Manor.
