Chapter 1525 Must Not Stay Alive
Vinson, who initially refused to get his wounds treated, changed his mind upon hearing the doctorâs
words. Immediately, he proactively requested surgery to retrieve the bullet.
Before getting himself admitted, he called Dylan and asked him to send more people to guard Arielle.
Otherwise, he would not be able to rest easy.
After getting the updates about Arielle being transferred to the ICU ward, and Vinson undergoing
surgery, Dylan immediately gave an order to his men at the military base.
An army soon arrived at the hospital to protect Arielle. Seeing so, Vinson heaved a sigh of relief and
followed the doctor into the operating room.
The doctor examined him carefully and discovered that the bullet had gone straight into his bone. He
sucked in a sharp breath, extremely impressed by Vinsonâs level of tolerance. How did he manage to
keep a poker face and endure the pain like nothing had happened for so long?
Upon injecting the anesthesia in one smooth motion, the doctor proceeded to perform the surgery.
The process was not as long as the one Arielle went through. It was completed in just two hours.
Thereafter, Vinson rejected the idea of resting in the ward assigned by the doctor. He insisted that the
nurse prepare a bed for him outside of the ICU, for he wanted to be nearer to Arielle.
He was resolute and unswerving, leaving the nurse with no choice but to do as he had requested. With
that, the nurse set up a folded bed outside of the ICU ward and also gave him a new set of pillow and
blanket.
As Vinson lay down with his eyes wide open, he kept thinking about Arielle and could not fall asleep at
all.
Two days later, Arielle got transferred from the ICU ward to a regular room. In view of her positive
recovery, Vinsonâs anxious heart was finally at ease. He quickly called and shared the great news with
Dylan, who had been checking in on Arielle multiple times a day.
Dylan was instantly relieved when he heard the news.
He had been mentally exhausted in the recent two days.
With his daughter staying in the intensive care unit and his son yet to be found, Dylanâs hair had turned
gray at a rate that was visible to the naked eye.
ââSannie is still in a coma. You must take good care of yourself so that youâre able to care for her needs
better,ââ advised Dylan.
He was well aware of how much the couple loved each other. Hence, he was worried that Vinson would
focus too much on Arielle and neglect his own well-being.
Vinson knew his good intentions, so he acknowledged Dylanâs advice with a laconic reply.
Right when he was about to hang up, he recalled something. ââDad, have you been investigating
Arielleâs assassination attempt?ââ
After Dylan recalled all of the information he had gotten in the past few days, his gaze dimmed.
ââNothing much was found. Many of my men are looking into it but to no avail. It seems like all the
evidence has been wiped clean, making it ultra difficult to find any clue.ââ
Vinson fell silent as a vicious glint flashed across his eyes. If I knew who did it, Iâd make the person pay
for it a hundredfold.
ââAaron is still missing. Iâll visit Sannie when sheâs awake.ââ Dylanâs voice sounded distinctively different
as if he had aged a decade.
Vinsonâs heart sank at his words. Itâs been two days since the accident. Yet, Aaronâs body is still
nowhere to be seen. Is there still hope for him?
ââLeave Sannie to me. Aaron is the priority now.ââ After a brief pause, Vinson added, ââPlease take good
care of yourself. You donât want Sannie to worry about you when she wakes up.ââ
Meanwhile, at the palace, the queen mother made a phone call when she found out that Arielle had
been transferred to the regular ward.
ââAfter all these years, this is the first time Iâm looking for you. I only have one request, and all you need
to do is to help me accomplish just one thing.ââ A layer of gentleness laced the queen motherâs voice.
After hearing the other party speak over the phone, the queen motherâs expression changed. She
uttered, ââArielle shall not live to see another day.ââ
