Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 50 Life In Danger
In the following days, Nolan did not appear again, only Kadence took care of Peyton. Kadence took care of Peyton while
scolding, “What is Nolan going crazy about? One moment he wants to divorce you, the next moment he can’t stand seeing you
with other men. And now he’s saying you’re faking illness to deceive him. Why don’t you find a doctor to have him checked?”
Peyton appeared indifferent. “He was not in his right mind.”
After a few days of rest, Peyton had basically recovered to normal, except for his stomach problem.
Bruce suggested that Peyton have another check–up, but she smiled and declined. She said she had already had a check–up at
another hospital and was undergoing treatment.
Bruce didn’t think much about it. After secretly investigating for a few days, he brought the answer to Peyton.
“Kadence, are you here too?” Bruce was wearing a white lab coat, with a white shirt and a black tie underneath. He was also
wearing black trousers, looking very handsome.
Kadence stopped speaking ill of Nolan, raised an eyebrow, and whistled. “It’s really surprising. When the hospital uniforms are
worn by others, they look like expert directors. But Bruce, when you put on this uniform, why do you look so charming?”
Bruce smiled warmly and pointed to the badge on his chest that belonged exclusively to the hospital experts. “Kadence, you can
question my appearance, but you cannot question my expertise.”

Kadence made a few jokes and Bruce kept smiling. He said, “Peyton, let’s do one more check before you’re discharged. If the
results are normal, you can be discharged.”
“Kadence, wait for me for a moment, I’ll be right back.”
Kadence stuffed cherries into her mouth. “Do you want me to accompany you?”
Peyton waved her hand. “No need. It was just a routine check.”

Saying that, Peyton and Bruce walked out one after the other.
They arrived at the inspection room.
The doctor in the examination room had already left, leaving only the two of them in the room.
“Sit.” Bruce extended his hand.
Peyton was a little anxious and quickly spoke after sitting down, “Bruce, it seems like you found something.”
Bruce nodded and concealed the smile on his face.
“Peyton, you were right after all. Someone indeed tampered with it in secret.”
“Who was it?”
Bruce said in a low voice, “On that day, my brother arranged for experts from the hospital to conduct your examination. However,
the doctor who was originally responsible for your CT scan, David Wallace, suddenly had diarrhea. He was afraid of delaying
your examination time, so he handed the job over to his assistant, intern Keyon Carter. After Keyon finished the CT scan for you,
he was preparing to send the results to the radiology room when he was called

out by a nurse. It was at that moment that someone took the opportunity to enter the room and switched your CT films. The CT
scan signed by Dr. Wallace did indeed show normal results, but that report was not your pathology test report.”
Bruce handed Peyton a glass of warm water and continued, “That person was impressive, skilled in computer operations, and
even hacked the surveillance. The radiology room was already understalled, and he managed to take advantage of that.
Fortunately, the janitor saw it and provided all the details.”
Peyton took a sip of water, set down the cup, and asked, “Was that person a man or a woman?”
“According to the description given by the cleaning staff, the person was wearing a hospital uniform, male, tall, approximately
1.85 meters, with a strong build, and also wearing a large pair of black–framed glasses. The cleaning stall did not get a clear

look at his appearance.”
“Did he have any special signs?”
Bruce nodded. “Yes. He has a mole on his right car. He seemed guilty, as he left in a hurry and almost slipped when he passed
the freshly mopped floor. The janitor noticed a tattoo of an eagle on his hand from his sleeve. She didn’t think much of it at the
time, but it later dawned. on her. Hospital staff undergoes checks before employment, and generally, we do not allow employees
to have tattoos on their hands.”
Peyton looked at the water cup and pondered, “It’s just a tattoo, I’m afraid we won’t be able to determine his exact identity.”
“Peyton, don’t worry, I have already submitted the surveillance footage that he hacked to the expert hackers. I believe the
content of the surveillance video will be restored soon. I will inform you as soon as possible.”

Peyton showed gratitude. “Thank you, Bruce.”
“Don’t thank me. It was the hospital’s fault in the first place. If this matter gets out, it will bring a significant negative impact to the
hospital.”
Peyton was very clear about one thing. “This matter was targeted at me by someone with malicious intentions, and it has nothing
to do with your hospital. I will not speak about it to anyone. At the same time, I also hope that you can keep it confidential,
including Timothy. Please do not mention it to him. I don’t want to alert the wrong people.”
Bruce nodded, clearly understanding her concerns. “This matter is not the most important at the moment, Peyton. My suggestion
is that you can undergo another comprehensive examination. This time, I will conduct the examination for you. If there are any
issues with your body, we can address them as soon as possible.”
Peyton smiled and said, “There wasn’t anything major wrong with my body. Bruce, don’t worry.”

“Alright. These hospital equipment do emit radiation, so it’s not advisable to undergo frequent examinations in a short period of
time. If you want to have a follow–up check–up in a few months, feel free to contact me anytime.”
“Okay.”
Bruce smiled gently and said, “Your body is fine, you can be discharged from the hospital. I have already arranged for someone
to handle your discharge procedures. Also, let’s exchange contact information.”
Peyton and Bruce added each other as friends on Facebook, and she bid him farewell while holding her discharge certificate.
Bruce personally saw her off at the hospital. Kadence exchanged a few

jokes with Bruce before leaving.
When Peyton was in the car, she kept thinking about this matter. She thought, “This matter must be related to the hospital’s
internal staff. If the person who did this is not very familiar with the hospital, they cannot accomplish the task flawlessly.”
“But after all, I didn’t have concrete evidence. Bruce didn’t want to make a big fuss about this matter, as it would tarnish the
hospital’s reputation, so he couldn’t extensively investigate every department. The entire hospital, including doctors, nurses,
permanent staff, interns, and temporary workers, amounted to thousands of people. How could he possibly investigate?”
“So, the surveillance footage is the only clue. As long as I can recover the surveillance video, I will be able to catch the person
who switched my CT scan.”
Peyton reached up and pinched his nose bridge, his face full of exhaustion.
Kadence chattered away by Peyton’s side for a while, but Peyton remained unresponsive. Unable to resist, she reached out and
tapped Peyton’s shoulder.
“What’s wrong? Are you thinking about that jerk again?”

Peyton remembered Nolan’s expression when he left. At that time, his eyes were filled with anger.
She had completely fallen out with Nolan. At this point, she only wished to have no further involvement with him.
“No,” Peyton answered, looking out at the scenery outside the window. She didn’t know when the results from Bruce’s side would
be available.
However, just a few days into her rest, she received a call from the

hospital. “Ms. Schmitt, Mr. Schmitt’s condition is very critical. His heart rate suddenly dropped, and he is experiencing respiratory
failure. He has just been rushed to the emergency room. Please come to the hospital as soon as possible.”
In the hospital corridor, Peyton anxiously waited outside the operating
room.
The caregiver busied herself with comforting words, “Ms. Schmitt, you need to be prepared. Considering Mr. Schmitt’s condition,
he could. anytime and anywhere...”
Peyton clenched her fingertips into her palm. Her voice was hoarse. “I knew.”
“You’ve had it tough,” the caregiver said helplessly.
The caregiver looked at Peyton. Peyton was about the same age as her daughter and very young, but Peyton already had to
shoulder the burden of life.
Peyton was already married, but the nurse had never seen Peyton’s husband. Peyton was always alone outside the hospital
room. She was clearly becoming thinner day by day, and her frail body evoked pity.
After the operating room door opened, Peyton immediately went up to greet him.
