Chapter 49 Crushed To Death!

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and even the air seemed to solidify.

A war without gunfire was about to break out. Seeing this, Timothy quickly spoke up in an attempt toease the tension, “Mr. Dalton, in any case, it’s good that Mrs. Dalton is okay. The rest doesn’t matter.”

Nolan averted his gaze from Peyton, seemingly unwilling to waste another second on a woman like her.He turned around expressionless.

“Take care of yourself.”

Peyton endured and endured, but in the end, she couldn’t hold back any longer. Looking at Nolan, thisarrogant man who always believed he was right, she suddenly threw the bowl filled with soup in herhand.

“Get lost!”

She thought, “It was you who pursued me back then, it was you who wanted to marry me, and it wasyou who had such a strong possessiveness that made me give up everything.”

“Now, it’s one thing that you have made me like this. And yet, you have the audacity to accuse me ofpretending?”

The soup spilled all over Nolan’s back. The mixture of food flowed down the designer suit that he waswearing.

Nolan looked at her with cold eyes. The anger in his eyes was very

evident.

He walked briskly towards Peyton. Timothy W

with a sense of uncase.

Timothy reached out his hand in a hurry, his face filled with anxiety. “Mr. Dalton, I believe Mrs. Daltonmust have just slipped. She didn’t do it on purpose. Mrs. Dalton, won’t you say something?”

Peyton raised his head and said coldly, “I slipped.”

Timothy breathed a sigh of relief. “Mr. Dalton, you heard. Mrs. Dalton…”

Timothy hadn’t finished speaking yet when Peyton fearlessly

continued, “If it weren’t for my slippery hands, I should have smashed the bowl on the back of yourhead! It would have killed you!”

Timothy instantly didn’t know what to say.

He thought, “She was trying to make the situation worse.”

Nolan pushed Timothy aside and strode up to Peyton, gritting his teeth as he said, “Peyton!”

Peyton was furious. She grabbed a bottle of medicine from the basket on the bedside table, forcefullythrew off the covers, and jumped out of bed.

She looked very fierce. She raised her hand and smashed the medicine. bottle onto Nolan’s head.“Bastard, I’ll fight you!”

Nolan reached out and grabbed her soft hand, then twisted it behind her back.

He instantly subdued Peyton. Peyton was in his arms, her face turning red with anger and tears wellingup in her eyes. Looking at her, Nolan couldn’t describe his current emotions.

He felt that his heartache was greater than his hatred towards her.

In the end, he took a deep breath and calmed the anger in his chest.

He threw Peyton back onto the bed, gritting his teeth tightly, and squeezed out a sentence, “Rememberwhat you did today. You better pray that you never fall into my hands in this lifetime.”

Peyton’s actions were already suicidal. Nolan restrained himself from strangling her.

The words he said completely angered Peyton. “Even if I jumped from the seventh floor, I would neverbeg you.”

Nolan glared at her fiercely, then slammed the door and left, taking everyone with him.

Lucian followed behind. “Mr. Dalton, aren’t you afraid that Mrs. Dalton would commit suicide again?”

Nolan took off his coat while looking serious and said, “How could a woman like her be willing to die?There’s no need to waste any more time on her.”

Lucian frowned. As an onlooker, he saw more clearly. No one would gamble with their life.

No one would have expected that the person who jumped from the seventh floor would come outunharmed. If Nolan hadn’t held onto her at that moment, if Jayson hadn’t placed the air cushion in time,

she would have undoubtedly died.

Nolan had already concluded that Peyton was just playing hard to get with him. He couldn’t care lessabout what others said.

Timothy found a nurse to tidy up the room. He laid the bed flat and patiently reassured, “Mrs. Dalton,why can’t we have a proper

conversation? Don’t be so extreme. Mr. Dalton cares about you. He stayed outside all night watchingover you. Did you know that…”

Peyton didn’t want to hear what he said. She just asked a question, “Dr. Abbott, could the test report bewrong?”

Timothy immediately became serious upon hearing this. “Mrs. Dalton, you can say anything you want,but you cannot insult my profession. The experts who conducted the examination are all professionals,how could the results be wrong?”

He breathed a sigh of relief. “I was startled when I found out last night. that your white blood cell countwas so low. I thought it was… By the way, Mrs. Dalton, you haven’t undergone any treatment recently,have you?”

Out of his duty as a doctor, Timothy asked her a question.

Thinking of Nolan’s gaze, Peyton answered bluntly, “No.”

“That’s good. Your symptoms were just caused by a virus. Mrs. Dalton, you can be discharged from thehospital after a few days of observation.”

Timothy felt relieved and proceeded to persuade Peyton a few more times. Seeing that she kept herhead down and ignored him, he had not choice but to leave.

Peyton had stomach cancer and had undergone a biopsy, which was a fact. However, this time theenhanced CT scan did not reveal any issues with her body.

She had only undergone chemotherapy once. Even if the chemotherapy had been effective, her tumorwould only gradually shrink, rather than disappear overnight.

It is obvious that there was a problem with the inspection results. The

only ones who could tamper with the inspection results are the internal staff of the hospital.

Peyton thought, “It takes quite a bold person to do something like this right under Nolan’s nose.”

“Who would do this? Helena?”

“She felt that what happened at the grave was not enough, and now she is tampering with myexamination report.”

“Although there wouldn’t be anyone else besides Helena, I always felt that there was somethingpeculiar about this matter.”

“If it wasn’t for Helena, then this person would be too terrifying.”

“Many things that have happened in the past two years seem

coincidental, but upon careful reflection, they appear eerie, as if there was a hand manipulating me.”

“If I had relied on Nolan, I could have easily found out the identity of the culprit. But now, in Nolan’smind. I am just a fraud. He only thinks that I am making up stories. And if I were to mobilize a largenumber of people to investigate, it would only raise the culprit’s suspicion.”

Peyton didn’t dare to disturb Timothy. She could only secretly go to the radiology doctor.

Grace Hospital was the Morris family’s property. Peyton already had a guess in mind.

Although the incident that happened last night has been sealed off, Bruce has already heard about it.

Peyton had not taken any action yet, but Bruce came to visit her proactively.

Bruce and Timothy are different. Timothy is dedicated to

pharmaceutical research and development, while Bruce joined his

hospital before graduating. In just three years, he has already become a director.

Bruce had some idea about her and Nolan’s affair. A warm smile still lingered on his face.

“Peyton, I never expected to see you again so soon. Is your body doing well?”

“My fever has already subsided. Thanks for your concern, Bruce.”

Peyton’s face was still somewhat pale, and she appeared weak as she spoke while lying in the hospitalbed.

Seeing her dry lips, Bruce handed her a glass of warm water and said gently, “Have some water tomoisturize your lips.”

“Thank you,” Peyton said as she took the water and took a big sip. She swallowed too quickly andstarted coughing uncontrollably.

Bruce put a pillow behind her and gently patted her back.

“Don’t rush. Drink slowly.”

“Bruce, you are still the same as before,” Peyton was not as indifferent as in front of Nolan.

Bruce’s eyes filled with pity. He asked the question that was on his mind, “Did you drop out of schoolfor Mr. Dalton back then?”

Peyton smiled helplessly, “Was I foolish? I thought the future would be bright, but when I threw myselfinto the struggle, I realized how wrong I was.”

“As long as you are willing to walk, the path is there,” Bruce said

gently. “Your journey is still long.”

His warm tone, as always, gave Peyton some courage. “Bruce, considering that we were onceclassmates, could you do me a favor?”

“Peyton, you tell me. As long as it is within my capabilities, I will give it my all.”

Peyton looked around and made sure there was no one before lowering her voice, and then brieflyexplained the situation.

She had thought that Bruce’s initial reaction would be to uphold the image of the hospital and deny her.

He put away Peyton’s report card. His expression became less gentle and more serious.

“Peyton, don’t worry. If anyone in my hospital dares to deceive or falsify, I will punish them severely.”

Peyton told Bruce about her concerns. Bruce patted her shoulder. “It wouldn’t be beneficial for thehospital if this matter escalated. I will handle it discreetly and give you an explanation.”
