    Chapter 400 Surprise


    “T-That’s awesome, Hayden.” Nicole eventually spoke the words that were forming at the tip of her


    tongue,plimenting 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’te by her sess 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 hisptop all the time. So he’s been epting jobs


    lately. No wonder he was always with hisptop.


    “I’m d 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 couldplicate 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 tutge, she had many experiences studying various types of drugs and


    medicines. Therefore, her presence in the research teamrgely 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 vine 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. In fact, Hayden had managed to identify the person whom White’s patients met before


    the protest with the help of 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 ncy! 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 spected 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.
