Chapter 292 Even If It Costs My Life
“I don’t want my daughter to follow the same path as her mother and me. Even if you won’t deprive her materially, your heart is not with Peyton. You can’t give her love. Day after day, year after year, one day she will end up like her mother.”
“Nolan, even if you consider our friendship over the years, please do me this favor.”
Nolan looked at Elbert’s pleading expression and felt touched. No one knew better than Nolan that even when Elbert’s legs were brutally broken and he was shot multiple times, with only a breath left, he never surrendered.
Now Elbert even wants to kneel down to Nolan! Elbert is an elder whom Nolan respects, and Nolan cannot remain indifferent.
Although Nolan was very tempted by the proposal, he also knew that Peyton was extremely disappointed with Colette.
Nolan did not want to sacrifice Peyton for his own interests.
You should know that he had hurt her enough.
But Elbert’s request left him with no choice. Nolan found himself in a dilemma.
Seeing Nolan’s hesitant look, Elbert was even about to bend his knees and kneel down.
Nolan quickly caught hold of him, “Elbert, you don’t have to do this.”
“Nolan, do I have to kneel down for you to agree? Or what else do you want? Whatever I can give you, even if it’s my life, I can
Peyton spent several comfortable days on the sea island. Every day, he ate and slept, and his quality of life instantly improved.
She ran barefoot on the beach, holding a bucket in her hand. Every now and then, she would spot one or two sand crabs and quickly use a pair of tongs to catch them and put them in the bucket.
Dawn originally wanted to come down and help, but as soon as she jumped down, she found that the ground was too hot for her feet, so she quickly pulled her legs back up.
Peyton caught many small sand crabs and walked towards the livestock area. He dumped the crabs in, which attracted the chickens, ducks, and geese to chase them madly.
Seeing these vibrant lives, Peyton’s mood improved a lot.
Peyton returned to the room and took a shower, getting ready to eat. Just then, he received a call from Kevin, “Peyton, are you okay?”
“It was great, the food was delicious, the drinks were good, and the sleep was good too, without worrying about being
kidnapped.”
“That’s good. I wanted to let you know that Mr. Schmitt arrived safely at the sea island. Just now, the doctor on the island examined him and his condition is very stable.”
Peyton heard this and finally let go of the hanging heart. He hurriedly asked, “Kevin, have you confirmed with Leo on this side?”
“Confirmed, he will come over soon. However, Mr. Schmitt’s side still needs to do some preoperative preparations, and the surgery is expected to take about two weeks.”
After receiving a positive response, Peyton’s mood improved. “The surgery has a high risk factor, and I want to stay by my dad’s side.”
At that time, Peyton was not concerned about the truth, but rather about Kason not having any family members by his side during the surgery.
“Peyton, I specifically tried to locate you based on your phone
signal, but the signal source on your end was deliberately concealed, and I couldn’t find any information at all.”
“It’s useless, you won’t find the small island I was on the map.”
“It’s okay, Peyton. In a few days, I will personally go over to take care of Mr. Schmitt for you. I will do my best to protect him.”
“Thank you, Kevin.”
“Why is Peyton being so polite to me? I have always felt guilty for not being able to take you away with me this time. Don’t be afraid. Next time, I will definitely not give him a chance to catch you again.”
Kevin’s voice was gentle, “You must take good care of yourself and make sure to take the medicine I gave you on time. As long as you don’t give up hope, you will definitely see the sunshine.”

Peyton hung up the phone and looked at the distant sunset, inspired by Kevin’s words. Her once shattered psychological construction was gradually reshaped.
She believed that everything would get better.
Of course, what Peyton wanted most was to be able to be with Kason.
After Peyton finished eating, he proactively dialed Nolan’s
phone number. Since Nolan left, the two of them had not been in contact.
If it weren’t for everyone taking good care of her, Peyton would have felt abandoned on a deserted island.
The phone was answered and Nolan’s voice came through, as always, deep and low, saying, “Hello.”
In the past, whenever Peyton heard Nolan’s voice, she would feel her heart flutter, but now only calmness remains.
Peyton spoke, “How long do you plan to keep me locked up?”
Nolan frowned, “Is the island not fun?” NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
This island was specially built by Nolan according to her preferences, almost perfect.
Peyton honestly replied, “It’s great, I even want to stay here forever. But I want to come back once, I also can’t rest assured about my dad.”
She whispered, “Nolan, can I come back for a while?”
Nolan rubbed his forehead. He couldn’t refuse her request.
“Wait a few more days, I will arrange for someone to pick you up.”
