Hayden had gotten the phone from a servant, and now he had to keep it on him every day.
That was because he had to dial that number over and over again every day. However, the call had never gone through, not even once.
All he ever heard was the dial tone indicating that the device he had called had been turned off.
Hayden really did not know how things had become like this in such a short time.
He'd gone from having a grandmother and father with him to only having servants by his side.
Cecilia and Selina were both gone, and a servant had said that they had gone far away.
Just a few days ago, Cecilia and Selina had called, saying that they would come back soon. They had even said that there was good news for him.
But Hayden was not excited at all.
What good news could there be? He didn't have a father anymore. What could possibly make that better?
Not to mention, Natalie was gone as well.
Hayden's long eyelashes suddenly trembled.
Not long ago, Natalie would come to see him every day and bring him all kinds of Ultramanshaped bread.
But one day, Natalie suddenly stopped coming by. Hayden had thought that he would not care at all. However, when he saw that Natalie never showed up again, Hayden felt as if a hole had suddenly opened up in his heart, with wind constantly blowing.
A few children came over to play on the slide as well. They did not play with Hayden.
Hayden had been very quiet during this period of time. He had not spoken to or responded to anyone.
The children who used to play with him no longer did so.
After the children had tired themselves out, they got together to chat.
As they chatted, they talked about their respective fathers.
"My dad bought me a huge Ultraman model yesterday. It's even bigger than me."
"My dad lifted me up on his head and let me ride on his shoulders like a horse. It was so fun." "My dad told me that if I'm a good kid, he will take me to ride a hot air balloon in Turkey during the holidays."
Listening to them bragging about their fathers, Hayden suddenly flew into a rage.
"Stop talking! I won't allow you guys to talk anymore!" Hayden pointed at them angrily and shouted.
The other children were all stunned.
There were two girls among the children, and one boy.
The girls were terrified into silence by Hayden's actions, but the boy was somewhat dissatisfied. "Why can't we talk?"
"You just can't!" Hayden retorted in rage.
The two girls tugged at the boy's clothes and said, "Jacob, let's go. Don't say anything more."
The little boy called Jacob did not want to leave.
"Just because you don't have a dad, does that mean you can stop us from talking about ours? What right do you have? I'll talk about it if I want to."
"You're the one who doesn't have a dad!" Blue veins bulged on Hayden's tiny hand.
"You don't!" Jacob said loudly. "I haven't seen your dad pick you up for a long time, and I heard about the explosion that happened. I heard your dad was
in there!"
Hayden could no longer bear it.
He rushed forward and got into a fight with Jacob. "Stop, stop, stop! I have a Daddy, my Daddy is the best, most handsome Daddy in the world, he wasn't involved in some explosion!"
When the two girls saw them fighting, they started crying. They ran off to call a teacher.
The teacher forcefully separated Hayden and Jacob from each other.
Neither of them had gone easy on the other, and both of them were beaten and bruised.
The matter had gotten out of hand and the teacher had no choice but to inform the parents of both parties.
Naturally, the teacher had informed Jacob's parents, whereas for Hayden, the nanny who usually sent him to and from school was informed.
Jacob's father arrived, and he was a strong and powerful man.
