Chapter 263 Are You Sick?

Mentioning Peyton, Kadence’s smile faded. “Mr. Dalton does have quite an imagination. Why don’t you go write a novel?”

Nolan said word by word, “I heard that you had two steaks, two bowls of soup, and three dishes last night.”

“Am I not allowed to have something nice to eat after working overtime?”

“Before this, you lived each day like a zombie. You couldn’t even finish half a steak every day. Yesterday, you even went out to buy a new dress.”

Kadence wanted to argue, but she saw Nolan’s eyes staring at her, as if he had already seen through everything she was trying to hide.

“Tell me. Where did you see Peytie?”

The tone was not tentative, but certain.

Kadence slammed the table and stood up. Anger filled her face. “Are you sick? You remember everything I eat every day so clearly. Why don’t you also keep track of my menstrual cycle?”

Nolan sighed. Kadence was startled. He actually sighed!

“Kadence, you knew everything about me and Peytie. Her being kidnapped was not something I wanted to see. I have been searching for her these days. If you have any information, I hope you can provide it to me.”

The man who used to be high and mighty actually lowered his head!

Kadence found it very strange.

Nolan spoke again, “Although Peytie and I have separated, I still loved her and wanted to protect her. Now, besides me, there are others also looking for her. It is dangerous for her to be alone outside.”

“You said the person kidnapped her?”

“Yes, that was a highly formidable organization internationally. They killed without hesitation. If Peytie fell into their hands, the outcome…”

Kadence regained a serious expression. She pondered for a while before answering, “Actually, I didn’t see her, I only knew that she had come to visit me.”

“Since you didn’t see it, how can you be sure that she came?”

Kadence took out a crumpled piece of paper from her wallet and unfolded it. “You should recognize whose handwriting this is.”

There were only two words above: Take care.

Nolan’s eyes were stinging fiercely.

Sure enough, Peyton wanted to leave. She came specifically to say goodbye!

Kadence looked up and saw Nolan’s crimson eyes. She dared not shake her leg anymore. “Um…”

Nolan put down a business card and got up to leave. “If she comes looking for you, contact me immediately.”

He quickly left the coffee shop and looked at the gloomy weather

outside.

Aelford City was neither big nor small. However, the person he had

been longing for could not be found no matter what.

Jayson asked cautiously, “Mr. Dalton, what do we do next?”

“Go to the hospital.”

Kason had disappeared. The only person left in this city who had a true blood relationship with her was Colette.

The news of Colette’s serious illness had already spread. If Peyton

really wanted to leave, he would definitely come to see her.

That was his only chance to wait for the rabbit by the stump.

In the hospital.

Within a short period of time, Colette became much thinner. Her mental state was very poor. Whenever she closed her eyes, she would dream of Peyton rushing towards her, shouting loudly that she should pay with her life.

Under the dual blow of physical and psychological impact, Colette’s body quickly collapsed.

When Nolan arrived, she spent the whole day in tears. Her mental state

was very poor.

Seeing Nolan, she wiped away her tears, mustered up her spirits, and forced a smile. “Nolan, you’re here.”

Nolan had no feelings for her at all. However, she was Peyton’s birth mother. When his gaze fell upon that face, he still felt a bit disgusted.

Nolan suppressed his resentment and asked, “Are you feeling better now?”

“It seems like it couldn’t get any better.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Colette chuckled bitterly, “This is karma. This is the punishment for abandoning that child.”

The nurse pushed the cart in. “Madam, it’s time for your routine check- up.”

“Okay.”

Nolan was about to get up to avoid suspicion. The nurse opened the toolbox and picked up a children’s watch. “Whose prank is this?”

Colette saw the expression on the watch change dramatically. “Peytie!”
