Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 254 Leave with Me

Despite Kevin’s thorough preparation and Peyton’s early contact with those people, there was still an unexpected incident when transferring

Kason.

At the appointed time, Kevin had not returned.

Tonight, the night was thick as if soaked in ink. Not a single star could be seen in the sky.

The courtyard remained warm. Under the soft light, cherry blossoms danced. Peyton specially made a ball and hung it on a tree branch for blessings.

The wind blew the bells hanging on the ball, causing them to sway from side to side. The continuous ringing of the bells made Peyton nervous. Peyton sweated for Kevin.

“Ding ling ling…”

As the bell shook violently, the small red ball that was originally hanging steadily on the tree branch was blown off by the wind, emitting a very unsettling sound.

The red ball rolled round and round on the white pebble road. Before Peyton could reach out to grab it, the ball had already rolled to the feet of a person.

Kevin reached out and picked up the red ball, flashing a brilliant smile at Peyton under the tree lights. “Peyton, I’m back.”

Peyton ran a few steps towards him. Her face was filled with anxiety. “Kevin, are you okay?”

Kevin shook his head. He played with the red ball in his hand with his long slender fingers. “How could I be in trouble with your sincere. prayers? Although it took some effort, luckily I managed to take your father away. I just sent him to a safe place. That’s why it took some time. I’m sorry for making you worry.

Upon hearing this, Peyton finally breathed a sigh of relief. “What kind of trouble did you encounter?”

“Besides our people, there were several groups of individuals. Those people even had the audacity to shoot innocent civilians. Nolan’s people also arrived.”

Peyton felt a chill down her spine. “It must be her. She wants to use my dad to force me out! Is anyone hurt?” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Kevin thought about the person who had fallen to the ground. The white walls were stained with blood. But the smile on his lips remained innocent. “It was chaotic at the time. I was only concerned about Mr. Schmitt. I didn’t pay attention to those people. Fortunately, the people I hired this time were mercenaries. And the few people you left behind cleared a path for us. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would never see you again.”

Seeing Kevin hunching his shoulders unnaturally, Peyton quickly stepped forward. “Are you injured?”

“No, don’t worry.”

“Kevin!” Peyton crossed her arms, already smelling the strong scent of blood.

When she turned around to Kevin, she discovered that a layer of blood red had stained his white coat.

“You were bleeding.”

“It’s not a big deal. I got a minor injury. I have already bandaged it. It must be because I was in a hurry just now, so I didn’t do it properly.

I…”

Peyton grabbed Kevin’s hand and led him into the house. “Come with me!”

The moment Peyton entered the room, he did not notice the slight upward curve of Kevin’s mouth.

Peyton hurriedly brought the first aid kit and then tore open Kevin’s clothes.

She saw him casually tear open his shirt and bandage the wound. The wound was hideous, exposed right in front of her. Peyton couldn’t help but scold, “Such a long wound. How did you get it? And you say it’s nothing?”

Kevin stuck out his tongue and looked helpless. “I’m sure it was because I was too focused on protecting your dad when we came out, so I got slashed. Look, am I not perfectly fine here? I don’t have any issues, do I?”

Salty tears splashed onto Kevin’s back. He slightly turned his body to look at her.

Peyton wiped her tears with her hand. However, she hesitated not a bit to bandage him. Muttering to herself, she said, “I’m sorry, Kevin. I didn’t mean to drag you into this. Now you’re hurt because of me.”

Peyton was filled with regret, afraid that Kevin had also provoked that

crazy woman.

“Peyton, it was my own carelessness. What does it have to do with you? Stop crying, as long as Mr. Schmitt is fine. I am young and strong. The injury will heal quickly. I am fine.”

He turned around and reached out to touch Peyton’s tear–streaked

cheek. His eyes, however, held a different kind of seriousness. “Mr. Schmitt has been rescued. You can leave Aelford City with me without any worries, right?”
