Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1012 They Know

Since Hayden was being serious, Colton told him the truth. "Sasha was the one who made Nicky fall, but Evelyn was the one who led her there." Hayden's face fell, and he clenched his fists angrily. "I'll make them pay for what they did!" There was fury in his voice.

Colton looked at him and smiled. "You should focus on healing up. I'll handle your mother's business."

Hayden was then reminded of something, and he looked at his father. "Evelyn grew up in the Wrenn Residence. Did they capture her?"

That's my son. Straight to the point. "No. Siobhan sent her abroad, and their residence is guarded. No one can infiltrate them that easily," said Colton.

Hayden got a little agitated, and he tried to stand up. Colton held him, worried that he might fall.

"So, the Wrenn Family is taking her side?" Hayden's eyes went wide with disbelief. Angry at them for his mother, he hissed, "But Mommy's their daughter, and Evelyn was in the wrong! She hurt Mommy and took away her unborn child. How could they take her side?" Hayden's fury mounted further. "Even if they want to play favorites, there should be a limit for that."He's so angry. Colton chuckled. "This is not what you need to worry about. Your mother kept it a secret for a reason, so let's keep it that way. She's healing up and will be fine in a day or two."

Hayden pouted, but he nodded and said nothing.

Colton came back out of the ward and saw his mother sitting on the bench outside. She was wearing a white shirt and a pair of white pants, and she looked exhausted.

Hayden had been in the hospital for days, and Colton had a lot of work to do, so Anna was the one taking care of the boy all this while. Colton approached her. "The medical staff will take care of Hayden, Mom. You don't have to push yourself."

Anna stood up. She looked tired, but she still put on a smile. "It's alright. I don't have anything to do at home anyway, so I can stay with him. It makes me happy to see him get better." Colton wouldn't argue with that.

Anna asked, "What about Nicole? She seems upset." Anna had seen Nicole as well, but Nicole looked sad. Anna didn't ask her why, just in case she brought up the wrong topic.

"It's about what happened to her. Evelyn was involved, but the Wrenns decided to cover for her and things got tense," said Colton.

"Cover for..." Anna was puzzled. "If Evelyn did do such a thing, then it's..." She frowned. No wonder she looked so sullen. I thought it was because of her miscarriage. I see. It's because her own mother chose Evelyn over her. I can understand her pain. Her own mother covered for the murderer of her child. No one can accept that.
