Chapter 498 Poisoned
Hayden’s condition wasn’t looking good, as Julia had been wearing a sullen expression ever since she checked up
on the child. Although she knew it to be cruel to say the words now, she needed to make sure Nicole had prepared
herself for the worse.
“Nicole, my guess to the identity of Hayden’s poison is the Code:Z virus. Just a slight amount in one’s system would
cause dementia in a person. If it was administered through the mouth, then he would face a risk of losing his life.”
Gritting her teeth, Nicole tried her best to control her emotions, but she couldn’t stop her tears from running down
her cheeks as though her eyes were a faucet that couldn’t be turned off. Sniffling with her reddened nose, she
looked at Julia with her eyes red. “Are you saying that Hayden is…”

been dead on the spot. Since his vitals are still responding, we can only see if his brain activity would be affected
after treating him,” Julia replied sternly.
Nicole sobbed uncontrollably as she watched her child still spasming slightly on the bed. How did things turn out like
this? He was still alive and well during lunch, yet he’s like this now, she thought as her attention was fully focused on
Hayden. For a well-behaved child like him to become a demented child… She didn’t dare imagine any further and
immediately closed off that line of thought.
Colton was quick as he returned home in no time with Richard in tow. Since Hayden’s condition was of the utmost
importance right now, Julia didn’t bother picking a fight over the matter with Richard as she quickly blended the
medicine that was brought to her and administered it to Hayden via an injection. Perhaps it was due to the
effectiveness of the medicine that Hayden finally stopped foaming at his mouth and his body’s spasm stopped.
The child looked incredibly adorable with his small body and his long, thick eyelashes. For such a cute child to
become a demented child in the future… Her tears flowed once more at such thought.
As the commotion grew, Anna heard it and called for Edith to escort her downstairs. Once she came down, she saw
Hayden lying unconscious on the bed and Nicole crying beside him. With her eyes focused on Hayden, she hurriedly
asked, “What happened here?”
Realizing that Anna was awake, Colton went and held her arms and said in a tone as calm as possible, “Hayden was
poisoned but has been given treatment for it. However, there’s no guarantee what will happen after he wakes up.”
With her jaws slightly dropped and her face in disbelief, Anna grunted in surprise and, with her eyes laid squarely on
the child, walked toward Hayden with Colton’s support. Although the child was no longer spasming, his small tender
face was now as pale as a sheet, as though he had just recovered from a grave illness.
“How could this have happened? He was still fine moments ago. Did he eat something he wasn’t supposed to?” she

“This was someone’s doing. Hayden was infected by inhaling the poison. Fortunately, the amount he inhaled is
small, and the treatment was given promptly. Otherwise, his life would have been in danger,” Julia replied.
When Anna heard the word ‘treatment,’ she heaved a sigh of relief before she turned to Julia and asked while
nodding, “So he’s safe now?”
Just as Julia was about to answer, Nicole stopped her and smiled stiffly at Anna as she said, “Yes, Hayden will be fine
when he wakes up tomorrow. Mrs. Gardner, you’re also recuperating from your injuries right now, so you should go
and take a rest. There won’t be any problems with Colton and me here.”
Although Anna was worried about Hayden, her body couldn’t take the extra stress. Now that she was told that his
condition was nothing serious, she immediately felt relieved. Hence, she nodded and said, “Alright, it’s good that
he’s going to be fine. Colton, I’ll leave this to you.”
