Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire

Chapter 1597 The Operation Went Well

If Linda had not heard those noises coming from the phone, she would have been very happy to hear that she was going back, but now, it felt ironic to her. Here she was working hard for him, but he was there fooling around with another woman.

Although she was unhappy, she had no right to control him. After all, she was only one of his many women. However, she had been the only one to serve him in the office, but obviously, that was not the case anymore.

"Did you hear me?" The Duke frowned impatiently when he heard no reply from her.

"Yes, I did. I'm going back right away."

Feeling down in the dumps, she replied to him and hung up the call. Then, she walked to the room where Susanne was confined. As she looked at Susanne, she recalled the harshness of his voice whenever he mentioned Susanne and Vinson. She took out a gun from her pocket and was about to shoot Susanne when the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Let's escape through the window. They'll be here any moment." As a burly man spoke, he picked her up and placed her on the window sill. Before she jumped out of the window, Linda pointed the gun at Susanne and pulled the trigger once. Then, she jumped out together with the man.

The moment Vinson and Arielle alighted the car, they heard the sound of a gunshot. Anxious, they ran inside. The surrounding residents heard that too and they came out of their houses, looking around curiously.

With bloodshot eyes, Vinson asked them which unit Linda was staying at.

As Linda was the only foreigner living there, her place was not difficult to find. Before long, a young man led them to her house.

Vinson and Arielle hurriedly went inside, searching for Susanne. When they saw her with a bullet wound to her chest, they quickly carried her and ran outside. At this point, they had to get help for her as time was crucial.

However, because they were in a slum, the cars had difficulties entering the place. As such, Vinson had to carry his mother and ran for three minutes to reach where their car was parked.

"Go after my mother's kidnappers." After giving the instruction to Rayson, Vinson and Arielle brought Susanne to the hospital, where she was sent into the emergency room straight away. Arielle changed and went inside as she was the one going to perform the surgery.

Under normal circumstances, relatives were not encouraged to perform surgery on a patient. However, Arielle did not want anyone but herself to do it, for she was confident that she could save Susanne. She took a deep breath and started the surgical procedure. Her calm and composed voice filled the operating room, while all the other doctors and nurses worked together with her during the operation. Three hours later, the operation was completed, and even the final stitches were done by her own hands. After all, the patient undergoing surgery was her mother-in-law, and she had to do her best. With tearful eyes, she looked at Susanne who was lying on the operating table. The bullet had just narrowly missed her heart. Otherwise, not even the gods could save her. Luckily, the shooter missed their shot.

Soon, the door of the operating theatre was opened, and Susanne was pushed into the observation room nearby where family members were not allowed in.

"Sannie, how is Mom doing?" Seeing Arielle coming out from the operation theatre, Vinson quickly stepped forward and asked.

Even though he may appear calm, he was actually on the verge of going crazy with worry. He knew that should anything untoward happen to Susanne, he would never be able to forgive himself.

"Her surgery went well," Arielle replied and continued after some hesitation. "The bullet just missed her heart. She will be kept under observation for a day. If all goes well, she will be transferred to a normal ward."

A shiver ran down Vinson's spine when he heard how his mother had narrowly escaped death.
