Full Body Checkup
Arielle was aware that Susanne was looking forward to her having children but did not realize how
much the latter was anticipating it. I guess I’ll have to talk Vinson into letting me conceive no matter
what.
“Thank you, Mom!” she said with a bright smile. Vinson happened to hear Arielle thanking his mother
as he was coming downstairs, and he immediately raised his eyebrow. “What are you thanking Mom
for?”
When Arielle heard his question, she wanted to disregard him because of what had happened earlier
but found it inappropriate to express her displeasure because Susanne was there.
However, that did not stop her from shifting her gaze to look at him slyly as she replied, “For her
willingness to help raise our children, of course. Mom said that we should have as many kids as we can
and that more than five is ideal. She’ll assist us in raising them.”
When Susanne heard Arielle’s words, she thought the latter was deliberately teasing her son, so she
played along and said with a nod, “That’s right. When the time comes, you both can go to work and
leave the children to me.”
Vinson was aware of how much Arielle and his mother desired children, but he genuinely could not
handle the consequences of childbirth. Sonia’s incident had affected him too much.
She only had a chance of surviving because Arielle was there to save her at that very moment, but
what will happen when it’s Arielle’s turn? If she faces the same situation, who can come to save her?
He dared not think about Arielle giving birth as he could not stand the thought of losing her.
However, with Susanne around, he could not reveal his anxieties.
“Thank you in advance, Mom.” As Vinson spoke, he glanced at the watch on his wrist. “I have a
meeting at the company later, Mom, so I’ll head there first.”
When Arielle, who was still angry with him, heard that he was leaving for the company without eating,
she promptly stopped him. “Breakfast is ready. Can’t you leave after that?”
“There’s not enough time for that. You need not worry. I’ll get Rayson to order a takeaway after the
meeting.” After saying that, right before Susanne’s eyes, he walked up to Arielle, bent down, and
kissed her forehead before turning around and heading out.
Vinson’s actions caused Arielle to blush. Susanne could tell right away that her daughter-in-law was
embarrassed and commented with a smile, “You’re so easily embarrassed. I’m a very open-minded
person, so there’s no need to feel shy because I’m here.”
Despite Susanne’s words, Arielle still felt very embarrassed and scolded Vinson inwardly.
Helma soon finished preparing breakfast and brought it to the table. Remembering that Susanne was
going to do a full body checkup, Arielle suggested that she refrain from eating because some of the
tests might require her to fast.
Susanne did not object, and after Arielle had taken a few bites, she brought her mother-in-law to the
hospital.
Arielle refused when Susanne asked her to go for her checkup first and told the older woman that she
wanted to accompany her mother-in-law for the checkup. Susanne could not convince her otherwise,
so she had no choice but to allow it.
The hospital they went to belonged to Nightshire Group, and the director immediately provided them
direct access when informed that the two had come for a checkup.
“Give my mother-in-law a full body checkup, and pay special attention to her head. She occasionally
suffers from headaches,” Arielle instructed with a frown.
In actuality, she was very worried about Susanne’s health. It’s not too bad if I can heal whatever ailment
she has, but if even I am powerless…
She did not dare to think further and could only hope that the results were good.
