Peyton stayed for another two days. As long as her phone was turned on. Elbertâs messages would
come pouring in. She decided to simply turn off her phone.
Peyton lay on a soft bed, gazing at the sea horizon.
Although it was nice staying here, she still wanted to go back.
I really wanted to go back.
After all, Kason was about to undergo surgery.
Peyton dialed Nolanâs phone number once again, and a slightly weary voice came from the other end,
âWhatâs up?â
âI wanted to come back, Nolan.â
âWait a moment, I will come and pick you up myself.â
âBut⦠I wanted to come back now.â
âGive me a little more time,â Nolan couldnât tell her what he was doing. Only when he completely
cleared the obstacles, Peyton would be safe.
âIf there is anything that must be done, you can tell me,â Nolan said patiently.
It would be better if fewer people knew about Kasonâs life and safety, so she didnât tell Nolan either.
âItâs nothing, just that I havenât heard from my dad and Iâm a bit
worried.â
âPeytie, as long as you donât show up, your father will definitely be safe. Stay on the sea island and
wait for me.â
Nolan repeatedly had people investigate the events of that night. He knew that the group of people who
took Kason away were somewhat similar to the Poisonous Bug.
Since it was an organization, how could they send two teams of people?
The whole incident was like a massive web, where the truth seemed to be right in front of us, yet there
were many strange points everywhere.
Nolan recalled many things about the janitor. The janitor had always been very caring towards him.
Once, he fell ill with a cold and cough. The cleaner heard about it while cleaning the office and brought
her secret remedy the next day.
Nolan did not refuse the kindness of his elders and drank it on the spot. Strangely, even ordinary
Western medicine takes two days to stop coughing, but after drinking that bowl of medicine, he didnât
cough again that day.
There were many small concerns like this, she seemed to care a lot about herself, afraid of getting hurt.
But this kind of concern has nothing to do with romantic relationships between men and women.
Instead, it is more like a family bond. Therefore, he has always taken care of her and never looked
down on her because she is a cleaner.
Lucianâsaw his furrowed brow and couldnât help but speak up, âMr. Dalton, itâs getting late. You should
rest early.â
âI will take another look.â
Nolan felt that there must have been something he had overlooked.
âMr. Dalton, why didnât you agree to the conditions proposed by Mr. Chase? Donating bone marrow
wouldnât harm Mrs. Daltonâs body anyway.â
âBut it would hurt her heart, Lucianâ¦â
Nolan pinched his brow and lowered his head, whispering, âI never want to hurt her again.
â
âBut it was not easy to have the opportunity to dissolve your marriage with Ms. Chase, and there wonât
be such a legitimate reason anymore.â
In the eyes of others, this was clearly a harmless choice, but surprisingly, Nolan did not agree.
Nolan even risked offending Elbert by rejecting his proposal.
âThe bond between me and Helena was never just the Chase family.â
But it was not Brodieâs promise, but Nolanâs promise to Brodie. Nolan had promised to take care of
Helena in Brodieâs place!
âMr. Daltonâ¦â
âStop talking and go help me with something. Peytie is in a hurry to come back, and I donât have time to
deal with them slowly.â
Lucian was a bit helpless, âYes, Mr. Dalton.â
Nolan looked at the pitchâblack night and thought, âPeytie, I will make up for everything you lost.â
Hospital.
âMr. Chase, Mrs. Chaseâs condition was not good. It deteriorated
rapidly during this period, and it was necessary to find a suitable bone marrow as soon as possible.
âI knew.â
Elbert left the directorâs office with a heavy heart.
Elbert didnât expect Nolan to be so heartless. He pleaded with Nolan so sincerely, and even offered so
many benefits.
Elbert thought sadly, âIf this continues, Colette will really die!â
He was in a daze, preparing to return to the ward, when someone hurriedly bumped into him.
When he realized, he found a card inserted in his front pocket.
The person who bumped into him had long disappeared into the crowd. Elbert lowered his head and
saw that the card depicted a map.
The sea island was outlined by a red pen.
