Chapter 400 Surprise
“T-That’s awesome, Hayden.” Nicole eventually spoke the words that were forming at the tip of her tongue,
complimenting her son begrudgingly.
In the meantime, Hayden seized his mother’s arm and scrutinized her reaction for a while before he asked, “Are
you sure you’re not going to be mad, Mommy?”
Nicole reacted by hugging Hayden, speaking in a serious manner, “Of course not.” While Hayden had always been a
mature child to her since he was younger, Nicole didn’t come by her success overnight. Instead, she went through
a lot before she got this far, sailing through many hardships even when she had to raise Hayden all by herself.
Despite all the challenging adversities, Nicole was proud of herself for having surpassed every single one of them to
create a better life for herself and her son. “Why would I be, Hayden?

I’m happy to have such a brilliant son like you, on the other hand,” Nicole smiled and said, finally understanding why
Hayden was seen to be around his laptop all the time. So he’s been accepting jobs lately. No wonder he was always
with his laptop.
“I’m glad that you’re not mad, Mommy. Actually, the reason I didn’t tell you that was because I was afraid that you
would get worried. I didn’t hide it from you intentionally.”
Hayden acted like a kid who had just been caught red-handed for misbehaving, speaking carefully with every word
that came out of his mouth while looking at Nicole.
Nevertheless, Nicole didn’t berate her son but was instead calm upon learning about Hayden’s secret. “I’m happy
that my son is such a genius.” After knowing her son was a talented hacker, Nicole went ahead and asked Hayden
to search for the patients White got in touch with when he was being framed.
Meanwhile, Hayden’s face turned sour when he heard about the assignment his mother gave him. While it wasn’t a
tough job, it was troublesome for the child to search for the information Nicole wanted, which could complicate the
searching process. However, Hayden agreed to help his mother, who rewarded him with candy. Thus, Hayden put
the candy in his mouth and proceeded to start typing on his keyboard.

For the next few days, Nicole was busy doing her work in the medical research facility. When she was previously
under White’s tutelage, she had many experiences studying various types of drugs and medicines. Therefore, her
presence in the research team largely contributed to the progress. After all, she was able to offer a lot of insights
and advice to the team as the members struggled to keep up with their schedules.
While the vaccine was expected to be created in three months, they hadn’t even reached 10% of the progress after
a month. Nevertheless, Nicole’s contribution helped the team speed up their progress by prompting them to run
tests in the direction she suggested.
To everyone’s surprise, the result they obtained was positive. Impressed with how Nicole’s opinion could benefit
them so much, the research team members were even happier to have her on board. Because of the huge
breakthrough, the atmosphere in the research facility was lightened up as everyone was permitted to take a day
off.
When Nicole returned home, she spent her time going through the information Hayden found and compiled for her.

some data surveys.
While the person was not Pierre, it was instead a man who was tall and skinny. Hayden then found a video of the
man and showed it to Nicole, whose face turned pale when she made out his face.
This man! He is my mentor’s junior—Norman Clancy! Unable to believe her eyes, Nicole struggled to convince
herself that Norman would do something like that because he was close to White back then.
No way! How can this be?! As her lips shook, she squinted and pondered for a second, whereupon she shivered and
speculated about why Norman was seen there. “Perhaps he was there to do an interview or something…”
Upon noticing the pale look on his mother’s face, Hayden quickly went through the other videos until he found a
few shots that could seem to give her some useful clues. In the video, Norman was seen holding a huge paper bag
in which the content was unidentified before he gave it to the patients’ family members.
