Chapter 327 Pitiful-Looking Girl

Anna looked like she was about to say something, but she hesitated for a moment before keeping her mouth shut.

Then, she sighed as she rested a hand on Nicole’s shoulder. “Why don’t you bring Hayden in to see Old Mr.

Benedict? He’s awake now and he’d be happy to see you guys,” Anna said.

Nicole nodded before bringing Hayden into the house. Benedict was not lying on the bed when they visited this

time. Instead, he was sitting on the couch with his head tilted to look out at the window.

No one knew what he was looking at. He was dressed in dark green pajamas, and his entire body rested against the

couch. His hair looked even whiter than it did a few days ago.

“Hello, Great-grandpa,” Hayden uttered in a soft voice. Benedict turned around when he heard the voice. He looked

rather pale, and his lips were drained of color.

However, Benedict smiled the moment he saw Hayden. “It’s my great-grandson!” Hayden walked over carefully

and came to a stop in front of Benedict.

The child’s round black pupils fixed themselves on the old man’s face for a while before Hayden asked him a

question. “Are you sick, Great-Grandpa? You look really pale.” The child was direct—he stated his observations

without any hesitation.

Benedict reached his hand out to pat Hayden on the head. “That’s right. I’m sick, so I look rather pale now.

However, I’ll get better soon, so you don’t have to worry about it,” he said.

“Yeah. You’re going to be fine, Great-grandpa. Dad is really rich, so he’s going to cure you!” Hayden uttered with

great certainty. Nicole felt her heart skipping a beat when she heard her son’s words.

Hayden stole a glance at Nicole, and he continued speaking when he saw that she hadn’t shown any significant

changes in expression. “I heard Mom say that you took my grandmother as your daughter and that we’re all family,

Great-Grandpa.”

Benedict couldn’t help but laugh when he heard Hayden’s words. “Yeah. Madeline is a really filial daughter. Where is

she, by the way?”

Nicole clenched her fists when she heard Benedict asking about her own mother once more. She didn’t know what

to say. Hayden hurriedly addressed the old man’s question.

“Grandma passed away before I was gone, Great-grandpa. She was sick as well. But don’t worry, I’m sure you’re

going to get better.”

Hayden observed Nicole’s expression as he spoke. He knew that his mother was one of White’s apprentices, and he

knew that White had told his mother to stop using her healing skills.

Truth was, White didn’t want Nicole to use her healing skills because he was afraid that someone would attack her

since she carried the title of White’s apprentice.

It wasn’t his intention for Nicole to watch patients die without taking action. Things had been cleared up six months

after White’s passing, and White’s reputation had been restored after that. Hence, there was no longer any reason

for Nicole to be so secretive.

Nicole wore a rather stern expression as she gazed at Hayden and pressed her lips together. “You can stay here

with your Great-grandpa, Hayden.

I’ll go talk to your grandmother for a while,” she said. Upon hearing that, Hayden responded with a sweet smile,

“Sure. Go ahead, Mom. I’ll be here with Great-grandpa; you don’t have to worry about us.”

Nicole nodded and went out after that. She had come to the Gardner Residence a number of times, so she was

familiar with the layout of the house. She had just walked out when she heard the familiar voice of a woman.

“I know what I did was wrong, Mrs. Gardner. I’m really sorry about that, but trust me when I say that I’m truly in

love with Colton.” The voice sounded especially whiny and pitiful. As Nicole stepped forward, she found a pitiful-

looking girl who looked like she was begging Anna for a favor.

Nicole only took one cold glance at Queenie, who was the woman before her eyes. Queenie probably hadn’t

expected Nicole to be there, because she froze for a short while after seeing Nicole. “I didn’t know you were here

too, Nicole,” she uttered after a while.

A subtle frown formed on Anna’s face. “Alright. Since you and Nicole are family, I guess we can just let go of the

past without looking back,” she uttered.
