    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 momentster, 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 be, you’ll always be my boy. I’ll make sure you get cured, and even


    if you don’t, I’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 apanied by Richard, happened toe


    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 hade 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 momentster that she


    shifted her gaze to Nicole and said, “Nicole, is Hayden…”


    While Nicole smiled bitterly with a nod, Julia’s mind went ck 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 be


    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 just 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 identst 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 ced 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.
