Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 171 Is This What You Wanted?
Peyton’s gaze gradually focused. She saw a pure white shirt. Her eyes moved upward, and then she saw Nolan’s strong jawline.
The hope in her eyes vanished in an instant. Kason was still unconscious in the hospital. How could he possibly appear here?
“Why did you have a nosebleed before?” Nolan unexpectedly asked this question.
He had a strange scent of shower gel on him. Peyton thought about last night when he slept with Helena, so she withdrew from
his embrace.
“I bumped my nose. Colette hit me right on the spot where the wound was,” Peyton answered calmly.
Nolan stared at her expression, trying to find evidence that she had
lied.
Peyton stared at him calmly. “What? You don’t believe me? Didn’t you say I’ve always been in good health? What could possibly
be wrong with me?”
“Sure.” Nolan complied, unsure if he was trying to convince Peyton or himself.
He did not notice the fleeting smirk at the corner of Peyton’s mouth.
After all, he had looked at the last medical examination report. There
were no issues.
Peyton realized that she was not at the Dalton’s home, but at the seaside apartment where she had lived before.
It seems that this farce did not go without any gains. Under pressure from the Chase family, Nolan dared not openly live with her
anymore.
“Since you are fine, you will go to work at the company tomorrow. The HR department has already arranged it for you.”
“Okay.” Peyton replied calmly, “I’m fine here. You go back first. So that the Chase family won’t misunderstand.”

This remark once again angered Nolan. His already gloomy face became even more furious. He coldly said, “Is this what you
wanted?”
Peyton calmly replied, “Yes. I don’t want to come between you and anyone else. I have done a lot of foolish things before, but
now, I don’t want to do foolish things anymore.”
Nolan gave her a cold look. “I hope you don’t regret it.”
After saying that, he got up and left resolutely. Peyton’s voice came from behind, “I hope you don’t blame others. Nolan, I
promise you, from now until death, I am only yours. Even if we are not together, I won’t change.”
The sentence made the cold–eyed Nolan soften a bit. He hesitated for a moment. “Remember what you said today.”
After the door closed, Peyton breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at her phone. Kevin sent some pictures of food, accompanied by a helpless expression.
Peyton pressed the voice key. “Sorry, Kevin. I have to go now. Thank you for what you did today. How much is the treatment fee?
I’ll transfer it to you.”
Kevin immediately replied, “Why be polite with me? If your really want to repay me, then you can treat me to a meal.”
His voice was very clear. Even the final notes carried a lively and uplifting tone.
“Okay, another day then. Thank you for taking care of Dawn.”
Kevin sent a few more emojis and ended the conversation.
Peyton pulled out another phone hidden in her bag. Then she dialed Phillip’s number.
“Any new developments?”
Phillip quickly replied, “Time was short, so there wasn’t much progress. However, I did discover something interesting.”
“What?”
“Dr. Yoder and Dwayne were once graduates of a school. Moreover, they were a famous couple during their time in school.”

“Sure enough, they knew each other.”
Peyton suddenly remembered that the nurse had said that the person who came to visit her father was tall. And Dwayne was
also tall.
Perhaps it was him who caused her father to fall into a coma.
“Yes. I also found out that the companies registered by Dwayne were all shell companies. They didn’t have any substantial
meaning.”
Dwayne appeared by Peyton’s side to introduce Jackson, the so–called detective. He deliberately made Peyton aware of the
truth, thus driving a wedge between Peyton and Nolan.
“That is to say, we are one step closer to the mastermind behind the scenes by finding Dwayne.”
“Yes, that’s right, I found some clues about Caitlyn. I left Aelford City tonight. When I come back, you can try to arrange a
meeting with
Dwayne. I will help you catch him.”
“Okay, thank you, Phillip.”
“No need to thank me. Remember, wait for me to come back. Absolutely do not startle the snake by beating the grass.”
