Chapter 252 Unable to Meet for a Lifetime

Peyton’s head jerked up. Her eyes stared straight at Kevin. “Really? Kevin, can you really replace Leo?”

When she heard these words, she didn’t quite believe them. After all, Leo was someone who couldn’teven be found by Nolan.

But Kevin didn’t seem like someone who would lie, and his heart still felt like a small flame had beenignited.

“Yes. Earlier, I inquired through someone and found out that Leo has offended some people abroadand is currently hiding. He is not easily traceable by ordinary people. Fortunately, I have someconnections.”

Peyton understood it all. No wonder Nolan said he couldn’t replace Leo. Nolan wasn’t lying.

“That was my father’s surgery…”

“Peyton, your safety cannot be effectively guaranteed in the country. Since that person can put you in alife–threatening situation, they can also harm you again, and even Mr. Schmitt would be in danger if hestays with you. My suggestion is for you to go abroad with Mr. Schmitt. This way, you can avoid risksand also provide medical treatment for Mr. Schmitt.”

Peyton frowned. This was something she had never thought of before.

Rather than saying Peyton didn’t have this idea, it is more accurate to say she didn’t dare to think aboutit.

Nolan was like a mountain standing in her heart. He invisibly imprisoned her with multiple chains,making it difficult for her to

move even an inch.

“Peyton, I have many friends who studied medicine abroad. They were all top experts in the field ofmedicine. It cannot be guaranteed that your stomach cancer will be cured, but your survival rate willdefinitely be higher than that of doctors in your home country.”

Kevin licked his lips and continued, “I can tell that you have moved on from your ex–husband. What isthere left for you to cling onto here? You can completely start a new life abroad.”

Peyton was like a frog that had been stuck in a dry well for a long time. She murmured in disbelief,“Can I…?”

And Kevin was a little bird on the branch, constantly persuading her about how vast the world outsidethe well was.

“Of course! Who are you?”

Kevin placed both hands on her shoulders. “You were Peyton. You were a brilliant medical student. Youonce gave up your brilliance for that man. Don’t you want to reclaim the life you abandoned?”

Peyton’s pupils kept dilating and flickering. Kevin encouraged, “The Peyton I know is not a resentfulwoman abandoned by men. She is a strong person who remains determined even in the face ofsetbacks. Peyton, you are not afraid of death, so why would you be afraid of a fresh start?”

Peyton closed her eyes, and her thick, long eyelashes trembled incessantly. “You don’t know, thatperson wouldn’t let me leave Aelford City. If I failed, I would pay a huge price. This is a price I cannotafford.”

She let go of Dawn and covered her face with both hands. “I am no longer the free–spirited Peyton whocould sail anywhere she pleased. Kevin, what you see now is a battered and chained prisoner,

with every step.‘

“Peyton, if you were a captive bird, then I would be the knife that cuts your chains. I will arrangeeverything for you and Kason. We will be overseas before anyone replaces out.”

Peyton looked conflicted. “I…”

“Even if they guessed that you were still alive, they wouldn’t know where you went, let alone that youwould go abroad. Peyton, let’s leave by sea. Leo can’t show up in Aelford City, but he can come tointernational waters. We can complete Mr. Schmitt’s surgery on a deserted island, and you can alsorecuperate there after the surgery. Nolan will never replace you in his lifetime.”

Speaking of urgency, Kevin reached out and grabbed Peyton’s wrist. “What do you have to be afraid offor someone you can never see again in your life? If Mr. Schmitt is your only weakness, then I’ll keephim by your side. You don’t have to be threatened by anyone anymore, and you don’t have to fearbeing kidnapped. You can start over and live a new life.”

Peyton’s heart fluttered. Kevin’s qualities were truly irresistible, to the point where she had no words toargue against them.

“Kevin, I could leave with you, but I still have one thing to do.”

“What? Peyton, tell me.”

“I didn’t want my father to always bear an undeserved bad reputation.”

A touch of hatred suddenly appeared in Peyton’s eyes. “As long as I’m alive, I will catch that ghost!”
