Chapter 274 You Should Experience It Yourself
In the howling wind, Peyton did not fall into the sea. Nolan and Kevin acted at the same time, grabbing her hand.
Although it was their first collaboration, the two of them had an unspoken understanding and smoothly brought her to the shore.
Nolan pulled Peyton into his arms, holding her cold body tightly. “Peytie, I’m sorry.”
Peyton did not respond to him. Nolan picked up her body and carried her back to the cabin.
As Kevin brushed past, the two exchanged a glance. Kevin wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
He remembered the words Peyton had whispered on the deck not long ago, “Kevin, I will save you in an extreme way later. After we separate, you should leave City A as soon as possible and not come back for a while.”
“Peyton, don’t mess around. I’m fine. I had already prepared myself for failure a long time ago. Don’t worry about me.”
Peyton’s lips curved into a helpless smile, but their eyes gleamed with unwavering determination.
“Don’t worry, I will keep my life to uncover the truth. I won’t die.”
Peyton coldly said, “If the dosage of this medicine was too light, we would all be finished.”
Kevin only realized at that moment why Peyton had acted in this play. She wasn’t actually seeking death, she was seeking life.
She wanted to find a way for Kevin and herself in this manner.
If she were to be captured by Nolan again, as she was before, what awaited her would be a life of endless imprisonment.
Peyton resorted to this desperate plan and staged a scene of attempting suicide.
This was the only way she could manipulate Nolan. But the consequence was that Kevin would never see her again in a short period of time.
Nolan was scared by Peyton’s consecutive actions recently. His biggest fear was Peyton leaving.
Finally, Peyton was saved, at least for now, he dared not imprison her again.
Nolan carried Peyton to the bed, gently blow-drying her damp hair and softly wiping away the tears on her face with a warm towel.
Finally, he searched through Peyton’s luggage and found a set of pajamas for her to change into.
Dawn kept a scrutinizing gaze on Nolan. Peyton knew he didn’t like pets with fur.
Otherwise, when they got married, she would have taken Dawn with her.
Nolan’s gaze fell on Dawn several times. He only glanced a few times before looking away, without saying much.
After Nolan had finished everything, Lucian brought a bowl of freshly cooked ginger soup.
Nolan brought the soup to the bedside and comforted softly, “Don’t worry, I didn’t touch that kid.”
Saying so, he scooped up the ginger soup with a ladle and blew it cool, then handed it to her lips, “Be good, take a sip.”
This scene made Peyton feel both familiar and unfamiliar. She thought of the time when they had just gotten married, and he had specially found an old doctor to help her regulate her body and prepare for pregnancy.
Her least favorite thing is traditional medicine. Every time, she would pout and refuse.
Nolan fed her spoonful by spoonful. Her mouth was extremely bitter, but in the end, she held the bowl and finished it in one breath.
Peyton had just taken advantage of him, and she understood the principle of seizing opportunities.
She didn’t refuse and took a small sip, lowering her head. It still had the taste she disliked, causing her eyebrows to furrow involuntarily. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Was it so difficult to drink?”
Peyton thought, “I wonder how many slices of ginger the chef put-in, they didn’t even add a pinch of sugar, so my tongue was spicy.”
She frowned and said coldly, “Whether it’s good or not, you can
taste it yourself.”
“Okay, I tasted.”
Nolan, however, leaned in and covered her lips with his, holding the back of her head.
