Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire
Chapter 1525

Chapter 1525 Must Not Stay Alive

Vinson, who initially refused to get his wounds treated, changed his mind upon hearing the doctor's 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 Vinson's 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, Vinson's 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, Dylan's hair had turned gray at a rate that was visible to the naked eye.

"Sannie is still in a coma. You must take good care of yourself so that you're able to care for her needs better," 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 Dylan's advice with a laconic reply.

Right when he was about to hang up, he recalled something. "Dad, have you been investigating Arielle's assassination attempt?"

After Dylan recalled all of the information he had gotten in the past few days, his gaze dimmed. "Nothing 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 replace any clue."

Vinson fell silent as a vicious glint flashed across his eyes. If I knew who did it, I'd make the person pay for it a hundredfold.

"Aaron is still missing. I'll visit Sannie when she's awake." Dylan's voice sounded distinctively different as if he had aged a decade.

Vinson's heart sank at his words. It's been two days since the accident. Yet, Aaron's body is still nowhere to be seen. Is there still hope for him?

"Leave Sannie to me. Aaron is the priority now." After a brief pause, Vinson added, "Please take good care of yourself. You don't want Sannie to worry about you when she wakes up."

Meanwhile, at the palace, the queen mother made a phone call when she found out that Arielle had been transferred to the regular ward.

"After all these years, this is the first time I'm looking for you. I only have one request, and all you need to do is to help me accomplish just one thing." A layer of gentleness laced the queen mother's voice. Afte hearing the other party speak over the phone, the queen mother's expression changed. She uttered, "Arielle shall not live to see another day."
