Chapter 501 Get to the Bottom of the Truth
Nevertheless, Hayden remained unaware of his mother’s sadness with an innocent look on his face. In the
meantime, Colton, who was standing aside, had nothing to say while staring at the boy in bed.
A few moments later, Nicole finally stopped crying and pulled herself together, turning her attention to Colton
before she tearfully said, “Colton, could you please bring the chowder over here? Hayden is probably hungry now.”
Colton nodded and walked out the door as Nicole helped Hayden sit up straight. Although Hayden was mentally ill,
Nicole was grateful that he didn’t behave like a loose cannon and only sat down quietly.
As she fixed her gaze on the child, Nicole failed to fight back her tears, which gushed out of her eyes. Nevertheless,
she quickly sniffled and suppressed the sadness within her, forcing a brittle smile the next minute to hide her
emotions.
“Hayden, no matter what you become, you’ll always be my boy. I’ll make sure you get cured, and even if you don’t,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI’ll keep you fed for the rest of your life.” Nicole expressed her feelings while resting her forehead on her son’s.
Despite Hayden’s mental illness, Nicole was grateful that he was still in good physical health. When she fed her son
with his meal, he seemed to behave obediently even though his eyes looked soulless and lifeless.
As soon as she was done feeding the boy, Julia, who was accompanied by Richard, happened to come in at that
moment.
When Julia showed up, Nicole immediately noticed her rosy cheeks and flustered ears, which indicated that she
might have had an intimate moment with Richard.
In the meantime, Julia, who noticed that Hayden had come to his senses, walked up to him to check on him, but
when she saw his soulless eyes, she was stunned. It wasn’t until a few moments later that she shifted her gaze to
Nicole and said, “Nicole, is Hayden…”
While Nicole smiled bitterly with a nod, Julia’s mind went black for a while until something came to her mind. She
then went on to say, “Don’t worry, Nicole.
From what I remember, Code:Z is being kept in the research center; perhaps I should go back and look for it. Who
knows we could synthesize an antidote for it?”
In actuality, Julia wasn’t confident that she could find a cure for the virus, but as she fixed her gaze on Nicole’s
sympathetic look, she was overwhelmed by her pity right away. Furthermore, she was able to put herself in Nicole’s
shoes more than ever before now that she was pregnant.
Nicole nodded while seizing Julia’s arm. “Thank you so much, Julia.”
Not long after it was dawn, the news about Hayden’s mental illness had reached the ears of the entire Gardner
Family, shocking every single one of them.
After all, Hayden, who used to be every adult’s favorite child in the family, had now seemingly become unsound due
to his impaired ability to properly speak. He could only utter a few incoherent words, not to mention his soulless
eyes.
When Anna woke up and heard about that news, she was so devastated that she nearly fainted. “W-What did you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmjust say? Tell me one more time. Hayden… Hayden is…” Anna had a hard time calming herself down.
At the same time, Colton seized Anna’s arm, assisting his mother as she tried to stand up. After all, she hadn’t fully
recovered from the injury she sustained from the accident last time. “I hate to break it to you, Mom, but this is what
it is.”
Anna then turned her attention to the child, noticing his soulless eyes and unusual behavior. When Hayden saw
visitors in his ward, he looked up and smiled, giggling in a strange manner.
Seeing the boy’s reaction, Anna had no idea what to say as she only placed her arms on Colton’s shoulder in a
helpless manner. Her voice trembled as she said, “I want every single person in the Gardner Family investigated. I
want to know what happened to Hayden!”
She took a deep breath and continued, “Someone must have tried to harm Hayden, or that poor boy wouldn’t have
ended up like this. I want to know everything about everyone who came to the Gardner Residence yesterday.
The culprit who harmed my grandson will not go unpunished!” Despite Anna’s mild-mannered temper that was a
result of her decent upbringing, her anger still made her intimidating.
