Chapter 511 Heard Everything?

Even though Hayden had now gone out of his mind, he would quietly sit at the side if there was nothinggoing on, and he wouldn’t even make a fuss.

Colton smiled and said, “Queenie said that Hayden was playing by himself when he accidentally felland got injured.”

“Queenie?” When Nicole heard Queenie’s name, her expression turned even worse. She frowned andsaid in a low voice, “Are you saying that Queenie has been alone with Hayden before?”

Colton nodded.

For some unknown reason, Nicole suddenly got mad, and she immediately began reprimanding Colton,“How could you leave Hayden alone with Queenie? You should know what sort of woman she is!”

Looking at Nicole, who was a little worked up, Colton reached out and patted her on the shoulder. Hethen comforted, “Don’t worry, nothing serious happened to Hayden.”

Hayden’s condition was like a heavy piece of iron that weighed upon her these days, and it wasthreatening to crush her. Now, even the smallest thing could stir the woman’s emotions.

“Nothing serious? Can’t you see that large red mark on Hayden’s body?”

Nicole sniffled and continued with her eyes red, “We both know what sort of person Queenie is. Shewants to marry you, so Hayden and I are the biggest obstacles in her path!”

Colton fell silent. He probably never thought that Nicole would get so worked up. He was about to say afew words to comfort her, but he soon swallowed them.

“Okay, I won’t leave Hayden alone with Queenie in the future. Don’t worry.”

Nicole also realized she was getting too emotional. She adjusted her temper, dabbing at the tears inthe corners of her eyes as she said quietly, “I didn’t mean to act like this. I just couldn’t control mytemper when I thought about Hayden getting hurt.”

Nicole found that she was more prone to anger these days, and she would make a fuss out of thesmallest matters.

Now, Nicole’s mind was tense like a taut line, and she couldn’t bear any provocations.

Seeing how weak and fragile the woman was in front of him, Colton softened his expression andreached out to hug Nicole. He pulled her in his embrace as he comforted her by saying, “It’s okay, myresearch lab is finalizing their study, and they are confident that this illness can be cured.”

A stunned Nicole looked up at Colton and her voice trembled as she asked, “Really?”

Seeing Nicole’s hopeful look, Colton felt as if his whole neck had stiffened. He couldn’t shake his headas he smiled and nodded.

“Yes.”

Joy bloomed on Nicole’s face as she sniffled and said, “Thank you, Colton.”

Colton didn’t say much. He looked at Nicole’s exhausted face and said quietly, “Go back and rest well.I’ll have Hayden cured as soon as possible.”

Nicole was truly too fatigued, and she didn’t want to move at all. As such, she nodded.

When Nicole left, Colton went back to his room. As soon as he opened the door, he found Haydencrouching beside it. He seemed to be listening in on the conversation.

Colton smiled, then reached out and carried Hayden back to the bed. Even though there was a thickcarpet on the floor, it still wasn’t ideal to walk around bare-footed.

He looked at Hayden on the bed and asked, “When did you wake up?”

Hayden seemed to be a little upset as he replied in a low voice, “I woke up when Mom came in.”

“So, you heard everything between Nicole and I?” Colton asked.

Hayden nodded. “Yes.”

Seeing his grave face, Colton knew that Hayden was thinking of coming back, so he asked straightaway, “When are you giving up on this act?”

“Tomorrow.”

Hayden’s reply was resolute. He originally wanted to fake it until Queenie’s wedding, but seeing howtroubled his mother was about his own condition, as well as how out of sorts she was, Hayden couldn’tkeep up the act anymore.
