Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 278

Chapter 278 The Least Qualified Person to Touch Her

On that night, Peyton was in Nolan’s arms. Accompanied by thunder and occasional gentle swaying of the ship’s body, Peyton inexplicably slept soundly.

She had been unable to sleep well for a long time, and she was afraid of being kidnapped again even in her dreams.

She would have been dead if she had been kidnapped again.

In his sleep, Peyton kept murmuring, “Who are you exactly? Why do you want to kill me?”

“Ah!”

Nolan held her tightly, whispering softly in her ear, “Peytie, don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

Peyton’s emotions gradually calmed down, but Nolan couldn’t fall asleep at all.

In the dim light, he looked at Peyton’s thin figure and touched her slender hand.

He couldn’t help but picture Peyton’s past appearance in his mind. She was clearly such a girl who loved to smile.

When she just married him, her face still had some baby fat, and her features carried a hint of innocence.

Unlike now, she had lost a lot of weight in the past, and her

facial features appeared more delicate, but she didn’t look like she used to.

He recalled their recent encounters, each of which ended in tragedy. It had been a long time since he had seen her genuine smile.

Nolan knew it all too well. If it hadn’t been for the trials and tribulations of the past two years, Peyton, with her strong and sunny disposition, shouldn’t have withered away so quickly.

Nolan reached out to touch her face. However, he stopped when he was just an inch away from her cheek.

The overwhelming guilt in his heart swept over him, and he unexpectedly became timid.

Even though he had prepared himself to spend the rest of his life healing her, the thought of the pain she had endured over the years made him feel unworthy of touching her.

Peyton slept for a long time, as if trying to make up for all the sleepless nights these days.

When she opened her eyes again, the thunderstorm outside had already disappeared. She looked out through the window and saw a sunny and beautiful weather.

Not only was Nolan not around her, but even Dawn in the cat’s nest had disappeared.

Peyton changed into a different set of clothes and went out, only to find that the ship had already docked. However, the ship was not in the harbor but anchored on a small island.

Dawn sat upright on the deck, squinting her eyes, enjoying the gentle breeze of the evening. The scene reflected against the distant blue sky and white clouds, appearing incredibly harmonious.

Peyton heard a familiar voice, “Peytie.”

Peyton turned his head towards Nolan, somewhat slowly. Nolan was standing by the shore, dressed not in a suit but in a white shirt and casual pants.

The setting sun’s rays scattered over him, casting a shallow golden glow upon him.

The sunshine took away all the hostility from him, making him appear much gentler. It was as if she was amazed when she saw him on the playground before.

He still held a coconut with a straw in his hand. While she was lost in thought, he had already walked up the stairs. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

He handed the coconut to her and said, “A coconut just picked. I tasted it, and it tastes good.”

Peyton slept for twenty hours unexpectedly, and she was indeed a bit hungry.

She was surprised to find that her stomach didn’t hurt, if it were in the past, it would have started hurting already.

Did Kevin’s medicine work on her?

Kevin said it was a medicine specifically for treating stomach cancer. Although there was no manufacturer or medication information on the medicine, Peyton believed him

wholeheartedly. These days, she consumed the medicine without missing a single dose.

At first, she didn’t feel any effect. But the first time she went without food for over twenty hours, her stomach didn’t hurt at all.

She took a sip of the coconut that Nolan had brought to her.

This coconut does not have the strong flavor like coconut candy. Its taste is very light and refreshing, with a hint of sweetness, and not at all greasy.

Peyton gulped down a lot.

Nolan reached out towards her, “Didn’t you want to see the deep blue sea? Come with me and see if you like it.”
