Chapter 167 Celebrating Your Love

The moment Peyton saw Colette, she had one thought. They had a little bit of fate, but not much.

When Peyton turned around to leave, Colette quickly caught up. “Peytie, wait. I really have something

to say to you.”

Peyton not only did not stop, but instead walked even faster. It wasn’t until Peyton heard another

nurse’s urgent voice coming from behind. “Mrs. Dalton, slow down. Your heart cannot handle you

exerting yourself like this!”

Peyton stopped in his tracks upon hearing these words. Colette successfully caught Peyton’s hand and

gasped, “Peytie, wait.”

Peytie had no makeup on. Her complexion was visibly pale. Even her lips had a slight purplish hue.

“Mrs. Chase, I thought we had finished our conversation.”

“Peytie, just five minutes. Just five minutes,” Colette pleaded.

The nurse on the side busily advised, “Miss, Mrs. Dalton has a weak heart. Please do not upset her.”

Peyton disagreed, and that was final,

“Okay. Just five minutes.”

Peyton entered his hospital room first. Colette hurriedly followed.

The two of them sat on the sofa. Colette moved to Peyton’s side and then grabbed Peyton’s hand.

Peyton earned tivice. She was afraid of stimulating Peyton again, so she had to give up.

“It seems that Elbert was not that interested in you either. At least your health was not bad when you

were with the Schmitt family.”

Heart disease, apart from being congenital, has nothing to do with her acquired unhealthy lifestyle

habits.

There was only one reason. It was due to mental reasons being too overwhelming.

Colette shook her head. “Elbert was very kind to me.”

It was probably because Colettet was afraid that Peyton would feel uncomfortable, so she immediately

changed the topic. “When I left you back then, you were still young. There are some things that maybe

your dad wouldn’t tell you. Peytie, don’t you want to know why I left?”

Peyton’s other hand tightly gripped the sofa. “Isn’t it because you fell in love with someone else?”

“Peytie, let me tell you a story.”

The story in Colette’s mouth was not so stunning, but more dramatic.

They grew up together since childhood. The Chase family has been serving in the military for

generations. Colette is no exception.

He started carrying out classified missions when he was in his teens. He promised Colette that he

would come back and marry her once the situation stabilized.

Later, news of Elbert’s death in battle reached. Colette was devastated. The Stuart family married her

off to Kason.

Kason gave her three years to forget Elbert. Under Kason’s devoted

waiting, Colette had no way to disappoint his kindness and, urged by her family, married Kason.

But Colette only had Elbert in her heart. Not to mention three years, even after seven years, it

remained the same.

Elbert was Colette’s first love.

Just as Colette was getting ready to accept her present life, she received another message from Elbert.

It turned out that Elbert had been saved by someone when he was injured and had temporarily lost his

memory.

After recovering from his injury, Elbert married the woman and had children. By the time Colette

received the news, Elbert’s children had already grown up.

The lovers eventually had regrets. This matter became a burden on Colette’s heart. Even though

Colette became pregnant and gave birth, she remained immersed in past emotions.

In those years, Colette ignored everything around her. Colette’s heart had long had a problem.

Later, Elbert’s wife unexpectedly passed away. He regained his memory. Colette, not wanting to have

any regrets in this lifetime, rushed towards Elbert regardless of everything.

After listening to all this, Peyton laughed so hard that tears came out. “So you want me to applaud for

your tear–jerking, undying love?”

She was wrong. Peyton had thought that Colette would feel a tiny bit of guilt when she saw her

bleeding.

At this moment, Peyton just realized. This middle–aged woman had been spoiled since childhood and

had a smooth sailing life except for some ups and downs in love. She was loved throughout her life.

Colette lived in an ivory tower even as she grew older, sharing with her the hardships she had endured.

“Mrs. Dalton, did you ever feel like you couldn’t survive without Elbert in your life?”
