Chapter 55 Miracles Only Happen In Novels
Peyton stopped her action and spoke in a slightly stern tone. “Ma’am, you are overstepping. I need to talk to my dad. Please leave first.‘
“Okay, Ms. Schmitt,” the caregiver gently closed the door.
Peyton patiently cleaned Kason’s body, trimmed his hair and nails as usual.
If it weren’t for the steady heart rate on the electrocardiogram beside him, Peyton would almost have thought he had left this world.
The weather was nice today, a change from the previous blizzard. Peyton pulled back the curtains and let the warm sunshine pour in.
“Dad, I couldn’t stay with you for long anymore. If you don’t wake up soon, you may not see me again. By the way, Nolan and I got divorced.
Peyton spoke softly. The sunshine fell on the smile at the corner of her mouth. She continued, “Although he treated me badly in the past two years, he was quite generous when we got divorced. He gave me the house, the car, and the stocks. Now I am a wealthy woman.
“I remember when my mother left, you told me that life requires regrets. Only then can we learn to cherish. Since then, I have cherished everything and everyone around me. But in the end, I still couldn’t keep anyone.
“Dad, there’s more good news. I found out that Jaxon Carrington, who bought the Schmitt family’s house, plans to auction off the Schmitt family. I will buy the house back. By the time Leo cures you, you can spend the rest of your life there. I have to go ahead and can’t be there
for you in your old age.
Peyton talked incessantly for an afternoon. When the sun had disappeared from the horizon, she still hadn’t seen any signs of Kason waking up. She helplessly chuckled to herself, “Miracles really only happen in novels.
On her way home, she came across a news article that read, “The president of the Dalton Group spent a fortune on a custom–made dress for his fiancée.” A picture of the dress, the “Starry Dress,” was included.
Even though Peyton had urged Nolan to get married and have children in the past, she still felt a bit uneasy when she saw this dress.
There were so many dresses in the world. Why did it have to be this one?
Three years ago, Peyton lounged on the couch lazily after taking a shower, pointing at the dresses from a certain high–end fashion show of the new season. “Wow, I love the dresses from this designer the most. Each one is unique and luxurious without being ostentatious, showing off their nobility. It’s a pity that you and I didn’t have a wedding ceremony.
Nolan habitually held her in his arms. “Even though we didn’t have a wedding, can’t you still wear one? If my wife wants to wear it, she has to wear a unique dress. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
A month later, she found a sketch of a dress in the study. There were countless other works in the sketchbook. He stayed up late every night just to draw sketches for her.
“Do you like this one?” Nolan came in without her noticing, hugged her from behind, and gently rested his chin on her shoulder. The atmosphere was warm and romantic.

“This is what you drew. Of course, I liked it.”
“I had already communicated with the designer. It would take approximately three years from selection to completion. Can you wait?”
“Don’t say three years, even if it’s thirty years, I can wait. So many diamonds. Otherwise, let’s call it ‘Starry Dress“?”
“Okay.”
“I only wore this dress for you to see in the future.
The scene of Peyton and Nolan’s agreement was vivid in her mind. Whenever she closed her eyes, she could picture his upturned mouth and the soft light in his eyes, like the stars in the sky.

Peyton never did receive the dress he was waiting for, but instead he received the opportunity to give it to his fiancée.
Peyton had sorted out her emotions before going home. Kadence had hastily packed and come over yesterday.
After Kadence got home, she hummed a song and waved a big spoon while cooking in the kitchen..
During the years when Kadence was saving money and supporting her boyfriend, she developed excellent cooking skills.
The boiled soup was bubbling in the clay pot. Kadence sprinkled a handful of fresh green onions. The fragrance of the green onions mixed with chicken and other ingredients instantly filled the entire room.
Peyton seemed to have crawled back from hell to earth. She only then felt the joy of being alive.
The aroma of the food smoothed over Peyton’s previous discomfort.
Kadence stirred with a spoon a few times, scooped up a spoonful and blew on it at the lips, then tasted it in small sips. “Not bad. Peytie will like it.‘
“I certainly liked the meals you made.”
Peyton walked into the kitchen. At that time, the only person left by her side was Kadence.
“You came back. How was your father?”
“It was still the same as before.”
“Don’t worry. He would get better. I donated the money for you today. It was so much money. You are so generous. You donated so much money at once.
Peyton smiled and said, “Why are you so stingy? I have money, but I need to have a life to spend it. If I don’t have a life, then all the money is just a pile of useless paper. I’d rather use it to benefit more people.”
“That’s true. Anyway, it was all money from a scumbag. You might as well spend it. He’s going to give it to that woman to spend anyway. Don’t even mention that man. I’ll remember the grudge of being kicked down the mountain for a lifetime. I’ve been dreaming of kicking Nolan these days.
Peyton smiled at her joke.
“Don’t move, don’t move,” Kadence pulled out a camera from somewhere. “Stay like that. That smile is perfect.
Peyton covered her face with her hands. “You know I don’t like taking pictures,” she said.
“I just wanted to take more photos of you while you were feeling well, so that I could have something to remember you by if you were to leave
in the future…
As the conversation went on, Kadence’s voice became quieter and quieter. Peyton took the camera initiative and smiled gently, “You have to add a filter for me. You know girls love to look beautiful. I want to smile more. You’ll feel better when you see it later.‘
