Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 707

The next morning, Ariana got up early and prepared breakfast.

Though her cooking skills left something to be desired, she could still manage a simple breakfast.

Even though Gracie was being looked after by Assistant Hills at the hospital, how could Ariana rest easy after what had just happened? Of course, she had to return to the hospital. So after making breakfast, she quietly left the house and hitched a ride with Lambert to the hospital.

Naturally, she didn’t wake the children.

Deep down, Ariana wanted them to sleep a little longer. She only informed the butler, instructing him to tell the kids once they woke up.

And so.

When Carson woke up and caught the scent of breakfast wafting from downstairs, his eyes lit up the moment he learned his mother had made it. He immediately dashed toward the stairs with eager little footsteps. The butler blinked in surprise and called out, "Young Master? Where are you going?"

Carson turned back. "I’m going to find Mom."

The butler chuckled helplessly. "Madam isn’t here—she’s already returned to the hospital to take care of your little sister. But don’t worry, Young Master. She’ll be back by evening, and she’ll bring your sister home too."

In an instant, the excitement on Carson’s face vanished without a trace.

His small hands tightened around the stair railing, his lips pressing into a thin line as he stood frozen at the top of the stairs for a long moment. Then, slowly, he trudged back down.

The butler assumed the young master was just throwing a tantrum and thought little of it, moving on to wake the other children.

By the time Lucian and Kevin came downstairs, they found Carson silently eating his breakfast.

The gloom radiating off him was so thick even a blind man could tell he was in a foul mood.

As the eldest brother, Lucian naturally had to ask.

He blinked and asked, "Carson, what's wrong with you?"

Carson ignored him.

Kevin frowned, wanting to remind him that his attitude wasn't appropriate, but then seemed to think better of it and pressed his lips together, staying silent.

Seeing his younger brother like this, Lucian became even more convinced that something was amiss. He quickly asked, "Did something happen? If there's anything, tell your big brother."

Carson clutched his sandwich for a long moment before finally looking up at Lucian. "Big brother."

Lucian: "Hmm?"

"Can we ask Great-Grandmother to take care of little sister at her place?" Carson gazed at Lucian with wide, pleading eyes, his dark pupils brimming with hope.

"...Why?"

"Isn't it said that little sister isn't in good health?" Carson lowered his lashes, obscuring his expression. "So Great-Grandmother would definitely take better care of her."

He had done his best to phrase it as delicately as possible.

Though he knew the news itself was unpleasant, none of the other doctors had dared to deliver it, leaving him as the unlucky messenger.

The thought made him want to curse.

The Stone family’s private medical team paid exceptionally well—at least ten times more than a standard hospital. Of course, that was because they were top-tier professionals. But no matter how skilled he was, he didn’t want to leave a bad impression on his employer. Where else would he find such a high-paying, low-stress job that even allowed him to focus on research in peace?

Just as expected, Ariana's face instantly paled.

She glanced at the doctor, then forced herself to steady her voice. "Are you saying Gracie has a heart condition?"

The doctor pressed his lips together. "For an adult, this would be a minor issue—just a course of medication would suffice. But as you know, the young lady was born premature and has always been frail. Given her age, though it's not a major problem in general, for her, it's quite serious."

Ariana's hands clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

She lowered her gaze to her daughter, sleeping peacefully, looking so sweet and innocent. Her heart ached as if gripped by an invisible fist. Suppressing the surge of dark emotions rising from within, she turned back to the doctor with forced composure. "Tell me what we need to watch out for."

The doctor instinctively studied Ariana's expression, relieved to see no overt distress before continuing cautiously. "Normal play and emotional fluctuations are fine. Please don’t overthink it, Madam. The main concern is ensuring she doesn’t sustain any major injuries—like fainting from a hard impact or severe suffocation. In other words, until she’s ten, it’s best to avoid activities that could cause even brief breathlessness, such as swimming.

For most people, it wouldn’t matter, but for the young lady, even a single second could be fatal."
