Colton brought Hayden's favorite food, and Anna had been taking good care of the boy. When Colton went inside, Anna was feeding the boy some grapes. She then stood up upon seeing her son's arrival. "I'll need to talk to him alone, Mom. Why don't you get something to eat?" asked Colton softly.
Anna smiled and left without saying much.
By now, Hayden had made a full recovery. He was sitting cross-legged on the bed and scrolling through his phone.
"Anything you want to eat? I can buy them for you." Colton looked at the boy and saw some scraps of fruit on his face. He then pulled a tissue to wipe his cheeks off.
Hayden raised his head to look at Colton. His eyes were solemn, unlike how he was when he faced his grandmother. "How are Mom's wounds?"
The man went frigid for a moment. He thought he'd been keeping that a secret well, but the boy still found out.
"She's alright. Just some shallow wounds," answered Colton honestly.
Hayden fiddled with his phone and looked closely. A moment later, he tucked his phone away. "She fell from the third floor and lost her baby. It's the work of Undercity." He might be young, but he was serious when he spoke of that.
It was surprising the boy would investigate this much, and Colton was at a loss for words.
Hayden hung his head low and gritted his teeth. "They poisoned me and hurt Mom. Unforgivable."
Hayden stared down and answered, "She must have her reason to keep it a secret. I don't want to waste her thoughts."
He's so young, but he's already so considerate. Hayden was his only child, but he did raise another kid: Wendy. Wendy was a lot younger than he was. Back when she was Hayden's age, all she did was mess around. "She's fine. She's not hurt too badly. All she needs is rest," said Colton.
"Did Evelyn do this, Dad?" the boy blurted.
The question took Colton by surprise, and he had no idea what to say.
Hayden continued, "I saw the surveillance footage. After Mom met up with Evelyn, she went to the other building and fell. It must have something to do with Evelyn."

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
