Chapter 1189

Anna's eyes moistened the instant she saw the way Colton looked; even her nose twinged. She sniffledand replied with a sob in her voice, "I'm here to see you, of course. I can't believe I had no idea thatsomething so serious happened to you! Look at you, Colton, you've lost so much weight." Having agentle nature, she couldn't help but tear up at seeing him like this. In just a moment, her eyes reddenedwith tears.

Seeing the way she looked, Colton couldn't help but let out a sigh. He raised his voice, saying, "Don'tworry, Mom. I'm okay."

Anna slightly composed herself, while Hayden came over and called out in a soft voice, "Daddy…"

Hearing the boy's tender voice, Colton instinctively lowered his eyes to him. The little face before himlooked very much like himself, but he couldn't seem to remember this boy. He tried to search in hismemory, but his head immediately hurt as if it were going to split. Suppressing it with a frown, he askedwith a hint of puzzlement in a deep voice, "Is this my son?"

Anna's pupils dilated at once. Listening to his puzzled voice, she asked in a trembling voice, "Y-Youdon't remember Hayden anymore?"

Colton nodded.

A hurt look instantly flashed across Hayden's eyes when he saw the distant look on Colton's face.Looking anxious, he gingerly asked, "Daddy, did you forget about me?"

Anna's heart ached when she saw how pitiful her grandson looked. She said, "No, Hayden, Daddy'sjust joking with you. Now go to Mommy first."

Hayden was no fool, though. He knew Anna was saying that to comfort him, but he didn't expose it.Instead, he nodded and turned around to go to Nicole.

After he had left, Anna asked, "What in the world happened? How did you forget about Hayden?"

Colton clapped his hand over his head and replied in a husky voice, "I'm not particularly sure either, butfrom what I heard, I seem to be suffering from amnesia after being infected with a voodoo bug."

"So, now you…" Anna hesitated to finish her question.

Colton simply admitted it. He confessed with a nod, "Yeah, I forgot about Nicole and that boy. Thesememories are very alien to me, and I can't recall any of them."

A look of worry flickered across Anna's eyes. She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Seeing how worried she looked, Colton knew what she was thinking. Summoning up a smile, he slowlyreplied, "Don't worry, Mom. I'll get better as soon as I can."

Anna looked at the man. This son of hers had never made her worry; whatever happened, he hadalways taken it upon himself. However, this also caused him to have an aloof personality, and therewas nothing she could do about it. She slowly let out a breath and patted him on the shoulder, saying,"It's okay, just take your time. You'll eventually remember them one day."

Meanwhile, Nicole was still lying unconscious in her room. She had overtaxed herself to lure out thevoodoo bug for Colton, and this, coupled with her pregnancy and the sudden impact brought on by thebug, caused her to remain unconscious until now.

Siobhan was also present when Hayden arrived. At seeing the boy, she picked him up and said with asmile, "So you're here, Hayden."

Hayden nodded with a flicker of worry in his ink-black pupils. Then, his gaze fell immediately on Nicole,who was lying in bed. "How's Mommy doing?"

"She's fine. She'll be okay with some rest," replied Siobhan in a gentle voice.

Hayden was still worried, though. His face screwed up, and his ink-black eyes blinked. He asked, "Howdid Mommy get like this?"
