Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 45

Chapter 45 From Now On, We Both Moved On.

Peyton’s dream changed. She found herself in a place filled with sunflowers. There was a child running and laughing inside.

“Mom, come and chase me!”

“Child, my child.”

Peyton caught up with the child. Peyton hugged him tightly and said, “I found you, my child. I’m sorry, Mommy. Mommy will protect you well this time.”

After speaking, Peyton realized that the child was Chris.

Peyton was very surprised. At that moment, it started raining from the sky. Peyton held Chris and got soaked in the rain.

Peyton woke up from her dream. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Chris. Chris’s saliva was about to drip onto her face.

Nolan reached out his hand, trying to catch Chris’s saliva. Peyton noticed Nolan’s action. The atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

In Peyton’s eyes, Nolan was a cold–hearted person. Nolan’s actions were very different from his style.

This made Peyton feel unfamiliar. Peyton chuckled self–deprecatingly, “Is this a dream? Or am I already dead? I can’t believe I’m dreaming about you all.”

Nolan frowned and coldly asked, “Do you really want to die like this?”

“Yeah, death is a kind of relief for me,” Peyton replied. Peyton thought

she was still in à dream. She reached out and pinched Chris’s face, saying, “Being alive is too exhausting.”

Chris couldn’t understand Peyton and Nolan’s conversation. Chris. liked Peyton. As Chris tried to get closer to Peyton, he said, “Mommy, hug me.”

Chris’s words surprised Peyton. With a trembling voice, Peyton asked, “Chris, what did you just say?”

Nolan did not interrupt Peyton’s words. Nolan believed that Kason could make Peyton have some attachment to this world.

It has been proven that Nolan was right. Chris gave Peyton some

energy.

“Mom, kiss me.”

Chris could only say simple words. Strangely, he had never called Helena “mom“.

Helena tried to teach Chris several times but was not successful. This made Helena very angry.

Chris repeated his words over and over again. Peyton held Chris tightly, thinking, “Chris might be the child I lost.”

Chris reached out and embraced Peyton, pressing their cheeks together.

Peyton cried and said, “Chris, I wish you were really my child.”

Chris smiled at Peyton and said, “Mom.”

Chris’s saliva dripped onto Peyton’s neck, instantly pulling Peyton back to reality.

Peyton realized that he was now in the hospital room.

Nolan stood by the bed and asked with concern, “Peyton, are you okay?”

Peyton realized that he was not in a dream and he was not dead.

Peyton couldn’t forget what Nolan had done to her before. Therefore, Peyton said coldly, “I’m fine.”

Nolan wanted to touch Peyton’s forehead to see if she had a fever. Peyton avoided him and said seriously, “Nolan, please stay away from

me.”

“I just wanted to confirm if you were sick,” Nolan explained.

Peyton found it ironic. Peyton laughed and said, “Nolan, your behavior is ridiculous. It was you who made me sick. Shouldn’t you be happy that I’m ill? What are you up to now?”

“I didn’t know that your health had already deteriorated.”

Peyton was amused by Nolan’s words. Peyton said, “You don’t need to know. We had already divorced. You don’t have to pretend to care about me. It’s disgusting.”

Peyton didn’t know why Chris was here. But she knew she should stay far away from him.

Peyton gently pushed Chris away. Peyton then got off the bed and pulled out the IV tube from their arm.

Because Peyton’s movements were too big, the needle pricked her hand and it started bleeding. However, Peyton didn’t care at all.

“You…”

“Peyton interrupted Nolan’s words. She firmly said to Nolan,”

“Nolan, you cheated on me during our marriage and even asked for a divorce, and I endured it. Because I killed Paula. If you think that’s not enough, I can jump from here right now.”

Peyton climbed onto the balcony while speaking.

This is the seventh floor. If Peyton fell down, even if he didn’t die, he would be disabled.”

Nolan had no idea that Peyton was planning to commit suicide. He shouted, “Pevtie, calm down!”

Peyton was wearing only thin pajamas. She wasn’t wearing any shoes on her feet. A gust of wind blew and lifted the white curtains.

Snowflakes fell on Peyton’s pale face, but Peyton didn’t feel cold at all.

“Nolan, I fell in love with you from the first time I saw you. Do you remember? You once saved me. Back then, I was thinking, how wonderful it would be if I could marry you.”

“Later, I was truly with you. That was the happiest day of my life. I cherished every day I spent with you. I also worried that one day these happy days would be gone.”

“I never expected that the days of happiness would be so short–lived. In just two short years, I lost my beloved and everything I had.”

“At first, I couldn’t believe that you would betray me. I thought it was just a dream. I believed that once the dream ended, you would come back to me. But it was all real, you abandoned me, and you abandoned our child.”

“It took me a year to accept all of this. Now I respect your decision.”

“I thought everything would be over after we got divorced. But what have you done? You threatened me and even hurt those who were kind to me. Now, you hate me, don’t you?”

“This kind of life is absolutely terrible. I was already exhausted.”

“Nolan, do you know? Before marrying you, I was so free. I was willing to give up my freedom to marry you. But you still betrayed

me.”

Peyton cried. She continued, “I don’t blame you for cheating. Maybe we really aren’t meant to be together. I know you hate me. Now I’m going to jump, so you should be satisfied. From now on, we’re done. I’m going to find my freedom.”

Peyton opened her arms and jumped off the balcony like a butterfly.

“Peytie!” Nolan shouted.
