Chapter 497 Spasm
Nicole had just lain down in bed when her phone rang with her son’s call. Upon realizing that it was an emergency call that was activated by the button on Hayden’s wristwatch, she quickly got up and rushed over to his room.
Since her child was responsible, she knew that he wouldn’t deliberately press the button without any reason. Furthermore, it was already late at night now. When she opened the door to Hayden’s room, she felt her heart break into a million pieces.
There, the sight of Hayden foaming at his mouth with his body spasming greeted her. Brokenhearted and with tears in her eyes, she hurried to his side and held him in her arms. “Hayden! Hayden, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me!”
As Hayden’s eyes remained dull, his body continued to spasm in Nicole’s arms. Fortunately, due to Benedict and Anna’s current condition, the Gardner Family had set up a specialized medical room, so she hurriedly brought Hayden downstairs. After she put Hayden on the bed, she called Julia with her hands trembling. “Julia, come quickly to the Gardner Residence. Hayden looks like he’s been poisoned and is spasming violently.”
This was the first time Julia had heard Nicole speaking in such a tearful manner. She immediately pulled herself together as she replied, “Okay, I’ll come over right now.
Nicole, I need you to check Hayden’s mouth if he had eaten something without you knowing. If not, then it might be airborne, so you’ll have to help him put on an oxygen mask in that case. I’m on my way right now.”
Although White, the master in surgery, was Nicole’s mentor, she was still somewhat unfamiliar with what to do in such a situation. Following Julia’s instructions, she tried her best to calm her shaken heart as she checked on her son with her face full of tears. Since her son was everything to her, if anything happened to Hayden, she might lose her will to live.
In no time, Julia arrived at the residence. While Hayden’s spasms were no longer violent, his body was still trembling slightly. After she checked on his condition, she had a sullen expression as she asked Nicole to go find medicines for her.
Within the long list of medicines, none of it was common, but would often be stocked up in the Hull Family’s research center. Nicole remembered that Colton was still in Gardner Corporation, which was located near the research center. Calling someone there to help pick up the medicines would be faster than her going on her own.
Hence, she hurriedly gave Colton a call. Fortunately, the call was connected rather quickly. “Colton, I need you to listen to me. Hayden’s been poisoned and needs medicine for his treatment.
I need you to go pick them up at the Hull Family’s research center, please…” Her tone shifted to a pleading tone near the end of her sentence as she started to sob uncontrollably. Looking at Hayden foaming at his mouth while his body continued to spasm, she couldn’t hold her emotions back.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Colton immediately stood and replied, “Send the list of required medicine to me. I’ll head over there immediately. Don’t worry, I’m here with you.”
“Okay…” Nicole replied stiffly before she sent a text message with the list of medicine.
Noticing the serious expression on Colton, Tony knew that something must have happened, so he said while walking beside him, “President Gardner, F&R Enterprise wants the collaboration proposal by tomorrow. We still need to do a follow-up on the proposal to see if any changes need to be made.”
Colton couldn’t be bothered with the subject at the moment as he rubbed his brows and said, “I’ll leave it to your judgment for that matter. If I don’t come back here, then just send them the proposal we made previously.” Having said that, he left the company posthaste.
With his attention on the report in his hand, Tony sighed lightly as he pondered on how the entire proposal needed to be revised as it was leaked to Kohlberg Group. This was the reason why Colton had been working overtime these past few days.
