Chapter 54 No Next Time
Nolan thought that Lucian had brought him clothes, so he walked out. Nolan turned his head and, unexpectedly, it was Alwyn.
Nolan raised an eyebrow at Peyton and said, “Are there any guests?”
Peyton was wearing pajamas. Nolan was wrapped in a towel. What they were doing was the most ordinary behavior between a couple.
Alwyn was not a fool, he left in a daze after putting down the gift.
Peyton did not explain. The deeper Alwyn got involved, the more dangerous it became. Such an outcome was good for both Peyton and Alwyn.
Nolan coldly watched those gifts. “Was I not generous enough?”
A breakup fee of 160 million dollars.
Peyton replied, “Later, I will give it to the garbage collector.”
Nolan snorted coldly, “Does he come often?”
“He came when he had a cold.‘
“There won’t be a next time,” Nolan’s voice was decisive and cold.
Peyton paused for a moment and obediently replied, “Okay.
When Nolan finished packing up and left, Peyton couldn’t help but ask, “What about Leo?”
“I found the answer for you.
The door closed.
It was easy for him to find someone.
Kason was saved.
Peyton sat on the couch, tilted their neck back, closed their eyes, and let out a sigh of relief.
Afternoon.
Alwyn received a phone call from his family. His father mentioned that there was an opportunity for him to study abroad. If he went away for a few years and then returned, he could directly take over the position of the dean.
“Sorry, Dad, I didn’t want to go abroad for now.” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“This was such a great opportunity. I tried my best to fight for it for you. There were only three spots available nationwide.
Alwyn mocked with a laugh, “This opportunity was given by Nolan, right?”
“I don’t know what happened between you and Mr. Dalton. Mr. Dalton personally informed me. You should not only think about yourself but also consider the Russell family and your younger siblings.
The usually obedient Alwyn fell silent. Alwyn’s father sensed the low spirits on the other end of the phone and slowed down his tone. “You know about ForeverLena Hospital, right? The highly sought– after project in Aelford City. He actually volunteered to collaborate. Do you understand what this means?”
“I knew.”
Not getting a response from Alwyn, Alwyn’s father asked helplessly.

“What is here that you can’t leave?”
Alwyn stood up from the chair, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at the busy scene of nurses and patients outside the window. He sighed softly and said, “I want to accompany someone on their final journey.”
Alwyn’s father was a bit ‘speechless. Alwyn was very well–behaved. As an open–minded father, he shouldn’t have meddled in Alwyn’s personal
matters.
But he couldn’t afford to offend the Dalton family. He especially kept his distance from Nolan.
Alwyn thought about the scene he had witnessed in the morning. As early as the dinner party, he should have realized Nolan’s terrifying possessiveness towards Peyton.
Even though they divorced, Nolan would not easily let go of Peyton!
The more Alwyn wanted to get closer to Peyton, the more trouble he brought to Peyton.
Realizing this, Alwyn closed his eyes and said, “Dad, I won’t make things difficult for you. I will go for further studies.
“Okay. I will arrange it for you immediately.‘
Peyton finally managed to escape from that terrible period. Her life was finally back on track. The next morning, she went to the hospital to see Kason.
The caregiver was wiping his face. Peyton took the towel. “Let me do
it.”
The caregiver did not stop either. Peyton saw two bouquets of sword orchids that Kason liked placed by the hospital bed.
“Has anyone come?”
“Well, yesterday Dr. Russell came to visit Mr. Schmitt. I happened to overhear him talking to Mr. Schmitt’s attending physician while I was cleaning the room. Dr. Russell mentioned that he will be going abroad for further studies. We won’t be seeing him for quite some time.
Peyton’s hand holding the wet cloth tightened slightly. She knew exactly what the reason was.
“Okay.”
The caregiver couldn’t see her expression and continued, “Dr. Russell was a good person.
“Lknew.”
“If Ms. Schmitt wanted to start a family, I think she…
