Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 502

Chapter 502 Play Dumb

“Understood,” replied Colton, nodding in response. When Anna saw Hayden, she sympathetically limped closer to the boy, her eyes filled with pity as her hand gently caressed the child’s head. “Can you hear me, Hayden? It’s me, Grandma.” Anna called out to Hayden in a soft voice, but her grandson couldn’t seem to hear her at all.

Instead, the boy only giggled in a silly manner seconds before he slowly began to drool. However, Anna wasn’t disgusted by that at all as she grabbed the napkin beside her and wiped Hayden’s mouth.

At the same time, she closed her eyes, her face written with exhaustion. “I’m going to get to the bottom of the truth myself and find out who did this to my grandson! No one can stop me from finding the wicked culprit!” Anna showed her determination angrily as Colton watched with his head down in silence.

After finishing her words, Anna turned around and walked out the door right away.

In the meantime, Nicole proceeded to feed Hayden with his meal and took him back upstairs. Although Hayden was mentally ill, he didn’t appear to be hyperactive as expected from those who were mentally impaired.

Nonetheless, Nicole still took care of Hayden just like how she did when he was first born. Because of that, she was so tired—both physically and mentally—that she unknowingly fell asleep on the bed.

On the other hand, Hayden returned to his sound self when he saw Nicole asleep. As he squinted, he peeked at his tired mother and whispered, “I’m sorry, Mommy.”

Just when the boy extended his hand to caress his mother’s cheek, a man showed up at the door and had his eyes glued onto the boy. When Hayden turned around, he saw Colton staring at him.

At that moment, Colton curled his lips upward and slowly walked closer to the bed to comfort Nicole before he wrapped his arms around Hayden and carried him. Then, he took the child to his own room, squinting as he spoke in a deep voice.

“Why are you pretending to act like a fool?” In fact, Colton had long seen through Hayden’s pretense, but since he had no idea what the boy was up to, he decided not to expose the child and instead observed him first.
