Chapter 268 Please Cooperate with the Inspection

Peyton leaned against the door. Her face was pale, and her body trembled uneasily. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Peyton’s mind flashed back to the incident when Nolan held Chris on the sea island. Nolan entered so forcefully, threatening Peyton’s life along with everyone else on the sea island.

That day, Peyton humbly begged Nolan. Peyton, in exchange for never leaving Nolan for her entire life, managed to save the people of the sea island.

But Peyton broke the appointment.

In Peyton’s mind, Nolan’s cold face and the words he had once said flashed by.

“I said, you couldn’t escape!”

Kevin saw Peyton standing by the door, pale–faced and with disheveled hair, and quickly went over to greet him.

“Peyton, why do you look so pale? Did your stomach start hurting again?”

Upon hearing Kevin’s words, Peyton snapped out of her thoughts. She was chilled by the sea breeze, shivering as she whispered, “Kevin, I regret it.”

Looking at Peyton, who looked like he was about to cry, Kevin felt extremely sorry for him.

“Peyton, what are you saying? We were just one step away from

freedom. If you hold on a little longer, we will soon achieve victory.”

Peyton shook her head. “No, it’s not like that. Nolan won’t let me go. You take me back, I promised him I would never leave Aelford City in my lifetime. If he catches me, he will definitely blame you.”

“Peyton, I said it was just the routine execution of duties by the coast guard. Don’t overthink it, think about Mr. Schmitt, you will be able to reunite with him soon.”

Kevin patiently said, “I had someone clean up the sea island properly. It is beautiful there, with many roses of different colors intertwined, blooming beautifully.”

“There were many coconut trees planted by the roadside. You casually asked someone to pick a coconut and inserted a straw to drink it. I had a taste, and it was both fresh and sweet.”

“The seawater there was exceptionally clean, and you could see the sea fish swimming around with just one glance. Don’t you like diving? I will accompany you to go underwater, and we can go see the beautiful coral reefs and butterfly fish.”

“You and Mr. Schmitt just take good care of yourselves on the island, sleep as long as you want, okay?”

That was the life Peyton had dreamed of, a glimmer of longing appeared in her eyes. “Can we really go there?”

“Of course, Peyton, I never lied to you. Alright, it’s windy outside, let’s go inside first.”

Peyton was asked back to the room, and with Kevin’s reassurance, she gradually calmed down.

Peyton chuckled self–deprecatingly, “Nolan probably didn’t know where I was.”

At this moment, two male and female coast guards boarded the ship.

Two maritime police officers first presented their credentials, indicating that they were investigating a group of drug smugglers and requested cooperation from everyone on board for inspection.

The captain smiled very kindly. “We are law–abiding citizens and will definitely cooperate with your inspection.”

“Thank you.”

The policewoman gave a signal to the policeman and he walked towards the cabin.

Seeing the coast guard approaching the door of the room, the captain explained, “Our family members are staying in this room. They are currently resting and may not be able to undergo inspection.”

“Sorry, we were on official duty, please cooperate.”

After speaking, they went straight into the room.

Peyton lay in bed, with a blanket covering their face.

The policewoman walked to the bedside with an expressionless face and reminded, “Miss, please pull down the blanket to cooperate with our inspection.”
