Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 219

Chapter 219 Everyone Makes Mistakes

Peyton felt that human hearts were very simple. Despite being hurt by Nolan and Colette, she was healed just because Kevin cooked a

delicious meal.

The more lacking in love a person is, the easier they are to be warmed by a little bit of kindness from others.

Kevin noticed her sadness and asked, “Peyton, is there something that is making you unhappy?”

“I needed to undergo a surgery, but there was no one to sign for me. Am I a failure?”

Peyton casually uttered these words, while a glimmer of pain flowed in Kevin’s eyes.

“Peyton, everyone has a different definition of failure. In my opinion, you are the most outstanding sister and have never failed. An unfortunate marriage is simply a mistake made in life.”

“Life is so long that no one has the ability to predict and not make mistakes.”

Peyton furrowed his brow and asked, “Do you know about me?”

“Last time on the boat, I knew it was you in Mr. Dalton’s arms. That day at the hospital, actually, I overheard snippets of your argument in the crowd. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop.”

Peyton smiled bitterly, no wonder he had been gone for so long to buy food.

“It’s okay, that was the truth.”

Kevin pushed the finished dessert in front of her. “Peyton, if you don’t mind, I can sign for you. What surgery are you going to have?”

Peyton whispered, “Stomach removal surgery.”

Kevin said in surprise, “Peyton, you couldn’t possibly be…”

“It’s just as you thought.!

“How could it be? You are so young, how could you have such a terminal illness?”

Looking at his panicked face, Peyton raised her hand and rubbed his head. “Kevin, I’m fine. I’m prepared, and the situation isn’t as bad as you think. I’ve undergone chemotherapy once before, and it worked well.”

Kevin’s face was like a blank sheet of paper, clearly displaying his emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

Kevin’s fair face was filled with worry, with a hint of redness at the corners of his eyes. Choking back his voice, he said, “Peyton is the best person in the world, and I’m sure he will be safe.”

Actually, she was quite pessimistic, but the words she spoke out turned out to be comforting.

“Well, I thought the same way too.”

“Peyton…” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“It’s okay, everything will be okay,” Peyton muttered, unsure if she was trying to convince Kevin or reassure herself.

In the following days, she followed the doctor’s advice and almost cut

off all contact with the outside world.

Even Spencer’s matter, she temporarily ceased investigating, not wanting these unrelated matters to affect her mood.

The only thing that she couldn’t stop worrying about was Phillip. Since the day he left, Phillip’s phone has been turned off. Up until now, there has been no news, and Phillip’s fate remains unknown.

The weather has been nice recently, and the seagulls were freely flying over the sea. The cherry blossoms in the neighborhood downstairs. have also fully bloomed.

Occasionally, she would go downstairs for a stroll, as if she had walked through a cherry blossom rain, stunningly beautiful.

She would unknowingly imagine Nolan and Helena’s engagement scene in the past, surely extravagant and beautiful to the extreme.

Since that day, Nolan never came to see her again, and the two of them finally went back to their own paths,

Even if she deliberately avoided and didn’t care about their news, she could still hear some rumors about them from passersby.

Everyone thought that Nolan was a good man.

Whenever the girls excitedly discussed how good he was to Helena, Peyton always nonchalantly walked by.

It seemed like they had never known each other.

Peyton spread out her palm, allowing cherry blossoms to fall onto her hand. She wondered if the cherry blossoms on the island had already bloomed.

Sensing a gaze behind her, Peyton turned around cautiously, only to

meet a pair of profound eyes. She hadn’t had time to conceal the deep

emotions in her eyes.
