Chapter 255: Chapter 256

Chapter 256 Do you have someone you need to bid farewell to?

The night fell. However, Peyton had no sleepiness at all.

She leaned against the window and watched the cherry blossoms. Dawn lazily stretched under the

tree, extending her paws to scratch under the tree.

Peyton had agreed to leave with Kevin. For some reason, her heart always felt anxious and uneasy.

She was well aware that the suggestions and choices proposed by Kevin were the best for her.

The longer it dragged on, the more dangerous her father’s health became. If Kevin could find Leo, he

could also have others treat her stomach cancer. Her departure was a good thing.

However, after Peyton made this decision, there was a heavy feeling in his heart, as if it was shrouded

in a layer of lingering mist that couldn’t dissipate.

She always felt that something was not right.

There suddenly came a piercing scream from Kevin’s room.

“Don’t hit me!”

Peyton busily pushed open the door. Kevin’s room was messy, and he was hiding in the corner,

trembling like a pitiful stray dog.

“Kevin, don’t be afraid. It’s me.”

Peyton cautiously approached him. He suddenly embraced her like a big dog.

“Peyton, I dreamt about the night when our mother died again. He was holding an iron and laughing

like a devil.”

Peyton reached out and avoided his wound, gently patting hist shoulder. “Don’t be afraid. It was just a

dream.”

Peyton felt the unfamiliar embrace with a strange warmth. Then Peyton reached out and touched his

forehead.

“You had a fever. Lie down quickly.”

This should have been a high fever caused by an infected wound. Peyton was busy trying to lower his

temperature.

Kevin slept restlessly from beginning to end, constantly clutching her hand and calling out her name.

She looked at him pitifully. It turned out that unfortunate people in thist world are all alike. And she had

never been the most miserable one.

Peyton patiently stayed by his side and took care of him for two days. and two nights. He only

recovered from the fever then.

The morning sunlight streamed in through the cracks. Peyton’s eyelashes trembled.

Looking at the empty bed, she hurriedly pushed the door open.

In the yard, Kevin stood under the cherry blossom tree, wearing a clean white shirt, and smiled at her.

His face still had a sickly paleness, without a trace of color.

When the sunlight fell on him, casting a backdrop of cherry blossoms

behind him, Kevin’s exquisite face looked as if it came from a painting.

Peyton breathed a sigh of relief. “Kevin, you really scared me. I thought something had happened to

you.”

“Peyton, I am feeling much better. I came out for some fresh air. Didn’t you want to go see Mr. Schmitt?

I can take you there.”

”

Peyton still wasn’t quite reassured. “Don’t pretend to be strong. Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet.”

“It’s okay. I had a sense of propriety.”

Kevin suddenly took her hand and said seriously, “Peyton, you are my only family now. Please never

leave me in the future, okay?”

Peyton’s heart skipped a beat. A hint of paranoia flickered in his dark pupils.

She licked her lips. “Okay.”

Kevin laughed. His laughter was exceptionally pure.

He dressed her up and took her out. Since she faked her death, she had been confined to this yard.

Seeing the long–lost scenery, Peyton’s mood became extremely complicated.

She was soon going to leave this land that she both loved and hated.

All these complex emotions disappeared when she saw Kason.

Kason was placed in a villa on the outskirts, closely guarded by over a dozen people.

His face became old and withered. Peyton’s heart felt like it was being

fiercely pulled.

“Dad.”

Kason breathed steadily, as if he had fallen asleep.

Kevin patted her shoulder. “Peyton, I had someone perform a thorough examination on Mr. Schmitt.

Besides being unconscious, he is fine. As long as Leo is willing to treat him, I can guarantee he will

recover.”

“As for Leo, I have also made arrangements. He will arrive early at the designated island to perform the

surgery on behalf of Mr. Schmitt. If you have no objections, Mr. Schmitt will have to leave Aelford City

today.”

Peyton was surprised. “Today?”

“Yes, he took the lead. Three days later, we left.”

Kevin looked at her gently. “Peyton, after this departure, perhaps we won’t come back for a long time.

Do you have anyone you need to say goodbye to?”
