Chapter 207 Don’t Distance Yourself

At the hospital.

Kason still lay on the hospital bed, just like before, relying on nutrition fluids and various medicaldevices to stay alive every day.

Kason’s body weakened at a visible speed, especially his limbs, gradually shrinking.

He was like a lifeless flower, barely surviving on the last bit of nutrients from the soil.

Peyton had not been to the hospital for a while, and every time he saw his father, he would feel evenmore uncomfortable.

Kason’s cheeks had already started to sink, and Peyton’s tears fell onto Kason’s withered hand.

“Dad.”

She wished so much that one day a miracle would happen and Kason would wake up to see her. Allshe needed was a glance or a word to be satisfied.

“Peyton, don’t be sad.”

Kevin gently patted Peyton’s back. Peyton hung her head, not wanting to be seen in her currentvulnerability

Peyton covered her face and silently shed tears. When she looked up, she noticed that Kevin hadpicked up the stethoscope to listen to Kason’s heartbeat.

“Kevin?”

Kevin put down the stethoscope and smiled at Peyton, “I also went to medical school. I just wanted topersonally understand Kason’s

condition.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Kevin gave Kason a routine check–up. However, his expertise made Peyton suspect that he was morethan just a medical school student.

“Peyton, can I take a look at Kason’s latest medical examination report?”

“Of course, it was possible.”

Peyton handed over all the medical examination reports to Kevin. Kevin began to read them carefully.

Time passed by minute by minute. After a while, Kevin finally looked up and glanced at Peyton. Unlikehis usual gaze, Kevin’s eyes were filled with complexity at that moment.

“Peyton, Kason’s illness is not incurable. If operated by Leo, there is a high chance of a successfulsurgery.”

Peyton sighed, “I know. But I couldn’t replace him no matter how hard I tried.”

“Peyton, don’t worry. I will mobilize my contacts abroad to replace him.”

Peyton wiped Kason’s body with a warm towel by the bedside and said, “I didn’t know if my dad couldwait for that day to come.”

“He could definitely do it.”

Peyton turned her head and her gaze met Kevin’s. They both believed

in it.

Coming out of the hospital, Kevin regained his youthful liveliness. “Peyton, take me to a goodrestaurant! I’m hungry!”

“No problem! What do you want to cat?”

Peyton was an only child and had always wished for a sibling since childhood. In her eyes, Kevin waslike a younger brother.

“There was a market nearby, Peyton. Let’s go there to have some snacks.”

“Sure.”

This was a famous market, bustling in the evening. Peyton held a cup of juice in one hand and a bag offries in the other, with a paper bag hanging from their wrist filled with various snacks.

In the crowd, Peyton smiled like an innocent child, without a trace of sadness or gloom.

She hadn’t gone shopping or eaten snacks like today for a long time.

“Peyton, I remember you used to love laughing when you were little. You looked beautiful when yousmiled. The more you laughed, the younger you seemed. Remember to keep smiling in the future, anddon’t pretend to be mature.”

Peyton shook his head helplessly, “I wasn’t pretending to be mature, I was overwhelmed by life.”

“Peyton, can you become the Peyton I once knew when Kason wakes up?”

A gust of wind blew, and Peyton and Kevin both felt a cool breeze.

Peyton curved his lips and said, “I wanted to, but I couldn’t.”

The wind blew off the blossoms from the tree. Like a movie scene, a flower fell onto Peyton’s hair.

“Peyton, don’t move.”

Peyton froze. Kevin raised his hand and gently stroked her hair, removing the petals for her.

Kevin’s height had already grown enough to envelop her with his shadow. It was only then that Peytonrealized the timid little boy had turned into a young man.

The light shone on Kevin’s face. He held the petals and softly said, “You see, everything in the world isgetting closer to you, only you are distancing yourself.”
