Chapter 503 Don’t Worry About Him
“You don’t say! I’m trying to y dumb while waiting for her to make a mistake so that I can catch her
red-handed,” Hayden answered.
Upon hearing the kid’s reply, Colton was surprised by Hayden’s wits, wondering why he had failed to
notice his son’s intelligence all this while. However, he quickly shifted the focus of their topic as he
stared at the boy and asked, “What about your mother? Do you know how disappointed and
heartbroken she is to see you be so mentally ill?”
Hayden kept his head down in a guilty and sympathetic manner when he was reminded of Nicole. At
the thought of his mother’s tearful look, he couldn’t help but feel a stab of pain in his chest.
However, he knew he had no choice but to y dumb, or his enemy would immediatelye after him.
“I’m sure Queenie is behind his, and the only way to catch her red-handed is for me to be patient while
ying dumb,” Hayden said confidently.

Colton sighed upon hearing his son’s words as he begrudgingly acknowledged Hayden’s quick wits
despite his young age. “In that case, do what you think is right, but mark my words, boy—don’t
disappoint your mother.”
As Hayden imagined Nicole’s angry look once she discovered that he was ying dumb, he rolled his
eyes around with a sympathetic look on his face. He then grabbed Colton by thetter’s sleeve, pitifully
calling out to the man. “Daddy…”
Colton looked down and fixed his gaze upon the child, his left eyelid twitching non-stop as he had a
feeling that Hayden was up to something. Thus, he pursed his lips and carried the boy in his arms.
“Speak up your mind. What’s the matter?”
Hayden curled his lips upward, showing a sweet and innocent smile. As he stared at Colton, he slowly
began to express his feelings on the inside. “Daddy, I think this is how I’m going to ‘recover’.
You’ll find an antidote at some point and give that to me in the future. After taking the medication, I’ll
recover and be normal again.” Perhaps Mommy won’t find out that I’ve been ying dumb this
way. Therefore, she won’t be angry.
Colton was amused when he heard his son’s suggestion. Seriously? This kid even has a n to cover
his tracks, doesn’t he? The man raised his eyebrows, smiling ambiguously while asking, “Why should I
help you?”
Hayden pouted, seizing Colton’s sleeve with both of his hands as he spoke in a childish manner.
“Because you’re my Daddy.”
As soon as Colton heard Hayden’s words, his mood was lifted because he was happy to hear how his
son referred to him as his father. At that moment, he finally understood why Hayden was so well liked
by his mother and sister, for the child was an absolute sweet talker. The next moment, Colton rubbed
Hayden’s nose with a smile. “This is thest time.”
Hayden’s smile faded away when Colton finally agreed to help him. He then patted the man’s shoulder
and said, “Take me back to where I was, then. It won’t be good if Mommy finds me missing.”
Feeling helpless, Colton had no choice but to carry Hayden back to where they were. However, just
when they were about to walk through the door, they bumped into Nicole, who happened to wake up
not long ago.
Nevertheless, Hayden was quick enough to y it off by pretending to be ill again, weakly resting his
head on Colton’s shoulder. At the same time, Nicole walked closer to the father and son and fixed her
gaze on the child, who in turn had his eyes glued to the man.
“He wanted to use the bathroom when I came in, so I took him there,” Colton exined.
Nicole believed Colton’s words as she carried the boy who was pretending to be asleep in her arms
and put him on the bed. “Thank you.”
Colton curled his lips upward and waved his hand. “I’m Hayden’s father, so don’t mention it.” He then
paused and gazed at Nicole’s heartbroken look, adding, “No matter what bes of Hayden in the
future, I’ll always be a good father to him and love him unconditionally.
The Gardner Family has a professional medical team on standby, so perhaps I could get them to work
on a cure. Thus, don’t worry too much about him.”
