Chapter 238

Chapter 238 Unable to Have the Best of Both Worlds

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s gaze instantly focused on Nolan.

Helena continued to shout at the top of her lungs. Jimmy’s voice also came through coldly, “What are you hesitating for? Tell her, you choose Helena.”

Elbert patted Nolan’s shoulder and said, “You make the decision on this matter. I won’t blame you no matter who you choose.”

Inside the panda plush toy, there was a hourglass placed at some point. “You have one minute to think. If you can’t make a decision by then, I will choose for you.”

The sand in the hourglass flowed rapidly, just like the time that flew by in the present.

Nolan remained silent and simply watched the two individuals.

Helena kept asking for help, while Peyton remained silent.

When Colette spoke just now, Peyton at least had to say two more sentences to try. Does she have nothing to say to Nolan?

Nolan saw a scene from the winter a year ago. That night, the sky was filled with large snowflakes.

Peyton and Helena fell into the sea at the same time. Nolan’s first thought was that Brodie had sacrificed his life to save himself.

Lucian also jumped down with them. Nolan was absolutely confident that he would save Peyton, so he didn’t hesitate or turn back to save Helena.

But Nolan didn’t know that Peyton’s foot would get entangled in a fishing net, causing a delay in the rescue and resulting in premature birth.

These were all things Nolan didn’t want to see.

He never explained a word to Peyton, from beginning to end, the only person in his heart was Peyton.

The current situation is obviously different from back then and cannot be both satisfactory.

With his eyes closed, Nolan could still see Brodie smiling at him, blood flowing incessantly. “Don’t, don’t cry. The general cannot die. I am willing to die for you.”

“I… I entrust my wife and children to you.”

After speaking, Brodie slowly lowered his hand.

They were cousins and grew up together since childhood. Brodie and Nolan had some similarities, so Brodie also became Nolan’s substitute.

There were many substitutes like Nolan. They hid in the shadows, ready to sacrifice themselves at anytime and anywhere.

Brodie was the only brother he had spent the most time with and shared a close blood relationship.

Nolan owed Brodie a life, so he indulged Helena’s arrogance and allowed her to seize everything that belonged to Peyton.

The formal attire, the house, the hospital, and even Mrs. Dalton’s

position.

Although there was no love between them, Nolan gave Helena everything.

But today, when Helena and Peyton’s lives were put on the line.

Helena’s weight was Brodie’s death, while Peyton’s weight was Nolan’s love.

No matter how Nolan chose, he had to take responsibility for someone.

Helena hadn’t heard him speak for a long time, so she shouted, “Nolan, don’t forget your promise. You said you would always protect me!”

Peyton’s side remained as silent as death.

Everything should have ended. No one would have chosen Peyton.

Rather than begging for mercy, Peyton would rather meet death calmly.

One time was enough for her to experience the same thing.

Was this minute so long? Peyton watched as the gravel fell to a close.

The panda toy chuckled, “Mr. Li, the time has come. It seems you have made a choice.”

“With my life, I exchanged their lives.”

Nolan stood with his hands behind his back, his face showing no signs of panic, making it impossible for anyone to discern his thoughts.

But his answer surprised everyone.

Nolan didn’t choose just one person like Colette did, but he chose both

of them.

If one must disappoint someone. Nolan would rather it be himself

“I died, they lived, how?”
