Chapter 513 Recovery
Anna walked up and looked at Hayden, feeling distressed. “Let me have a look at you, Hayden. I’m glad that you’re alright,” she whispered.
Hearing her words, Hayden blinked his eyes and nodded, knowing that she was concerned about him. “I’m fine. I just feel a slight pain here.” After finishing his words, he rubbed his waist, which was where Queenie had pinched him.
Then, he thought for a moment before continuing his words. “I had a nightmare, Grandma. I dreamed of a bad woman wearing a light blue dress. She pinched me.” He tugged on Anna’s sleeve and looked at her innocently with his big doe eyes.
When Anna heard Hayden’s description of the woman, she knew immediately that he was talking about Queenie as she was wearing a light blue dress when she came to the Gardner Residence!
At that moment, Anna was fuming in anger. Yesterday, she kept insisting that Hayden fell on his own. I didn’t know that she was lying to me! she thought.
When he saw how furious Anna was, Hayden deliberately asked, “What’s wrong, Grandma? You look like you are mad.”
Noticing that he realized she was angry, Anna immediately regained her composure and looked at him gently. “No, I’m not angry. Since you have woken up, go for a walk with Mommy. I’ll see if there is any food in the kitchen,” she said.
“Okay. Thank you, Grandma.” Hayden nodded his head and gave her a sweet smile.
When Anna left the room, her face was gloomy. However, she did not make a huge fuss as Queenie’s wedding was just around the corner, and she would ruin Queenie’s reputation by then. As such, she suppressed her anger and waited for the time to come.
Nicole had been hugging Hayden ever since she saw that he was awake. There were so many things she wanted to say to him, but now, she couldn’t get any words out of her mouth.
“Don’t be sad, Mommy. I’m fine,” said Hayden obediently as he patted her back.
Listening to his words, she hummed in response and didn’t say anything else.
To be honest, Hayden was feeling guilty since he had been lying to her. Fortunately, Nicole didn’t find out about it, or she would be really mad at him.
On the other hand, Colton wanted Anna and Nicole to keep Hayden’s well-being a secret. After all, Hayden was Queenie’s target. If she were to know that he had recovered, she might hurt him again.
When Anna heard his words, she furrowed her brows and fell into deep thought. After a moment, she felt that Colton was right and nodded. “This should indeed be a secret. Otherwise, we won’t be able to catch the mastermind behind this,” she said.
Likewise, Nicole did not oppose the idea. She did not have any opinions on anything else since she was still excited about Hayden’s recovery.
Only the Gardners knew about Hayden’s situation. The servants had no clue about it as Hayden spent most of his days inside the room, and his food was being served to him.
Since Hayden was getting better, Nicole was at ease.
At nighttime, she received a call from the research center, telling her to show up at tomorrow’s vaccine press conference since she was a member who helped with it. Then, she remembered that Norman was still denying his crimes in prison while Pierre was out in the open.
If Pierre were to save Norman, he would find a chance to bring her down. At this time, the best moment for him to attack was at the press conference. Thus, she agreed to be there as she was ready to fight back.
The next morning, Nicole dressed up and went to the press conference. Most of the members that participated in the research were already there. However, the meeting had yet to begin since it would only commence at 9.00AM. When Nicole looked at the time, it was only 8.00AM.
