Chapter 254 Leave with Me
Despite Kevinâs thorough preparation and Peytonâs early contact with those people, there was still an
unexpected incident when transferring
Kason.
At the appointed time, Kevin had not returned.
Tonight, the night was thick as if soaked in ink. Not a single star could be seen in the sky.
The courtyard remained warm. Under the soft light, cherry blossoms danced. Peyton specially made a
ball and hung it on a tree branch for blessings.
The wind blew the bells hanging on the ball, causing them to sway from side to side. The continuous
ringing of the bells made Peyton nervous. Peyton sweated for Kevin.
âDing ling lingâ¦â
As the bell shook violently, the small red ball that was originally hanging steadily on the tree branch
was blown off by the wind, emitting a very unsettling sound.
The red ball rolled round and round on the white pebble road. Before Peyton could reach out to grab it,
the ball had already rolled to the feet of a person.
Kevin reached out and picked up the red ball, flashing a brilliant smile at Peyton under the tree lights.
âPeyton, Iâm back.â
Peyton ran a few steps towards him. Her face was filled with anxiety. âKevin, are you okay?â
Kevin shook his head. He played with the red ball in his hand with his long slender fingers. âHow could I
be in trouble with your sincere. prayers? Although it took some effort, luckily I managed to take your
father away. I just sent him to a safe place. Thatâs why it took some time. Iâm sorry for making you
worry.
Upon hearing this, Peyton finally breathed a sigh of relief. âWhat kind of trouble did you encounter?â
âBesides our people, there were several groups of individuals. Those people even had the audacity to
shoot innocent civilians. Nolanâs people also arrived.â
Peyton felt a chill down her spine. âIt must be her. She wants to use my dad to force me out! Is anyone
hurt?â
Kevin thought about the person who had fallen to the ground. The white walls were stained with blood.
But the smile on his lips remained innocent. âIt was chaotic at the time. I was only concerned about Mr.
Schmitt. I didnât pay attention to those people. Fortunately, the people I hired this time were
mercenaries. And the few people you left behind cleared a path for us. Otherwise, Iâm afraid I would
never see you again.â
Seeing Kevin hunching his shoulders unnaturally, Peyton quickly stepped forward. âAre you injured?â
âNo, donât worry.â
âKevin!â Peyton crossed her arms, already smelling the strong scent of blood.
When she turned around to Kevin, she discovered that a layer of blood red had stained his white coat.
âYou were bleeding.â
âItâs not a big deal. I got a minor injury. I have already bandaged it. It must be because I was in a hurry
just now, so I didnât do it properly.
Iâ¦â
Peyton grabbed Kevinâs hand and led him into the house. âCome with me!â
The moment Peyton entered the room, he did not notice the slight upward curve of Kevinâs mouth.
Peyton hurriedly brought the first aid kit and then tore open Kevinâs clothes.
She saw him casually tear open his shirt and bandage the wound. The wound was hideous, exposed
right in front of her. Peyton couldnât help but scold, âSuch a long wound. How did you get it? And you
say itâs nothing?â
Kevin stuck out his tongue and looked helpless. âIâm sure it was because I was too focused on
protecting your dad when we came out, so I got slashed. Look, am I not perfectly fine here? I donât
have any issues, do I?â
Salty tears splashed onto Kevinâs back. He slightly turned his body to look at her.
Peyton wiped her tears with her hand. However, she hesitated not a bit to bandage him. Muttering to
herself, she said, âIâm sorry, Kevin. I didnât mean to drag you into this. Now youâre hurt because of me.â
Peyton was filled with regret, afraid that Kevin had also provoked that
crazy woman.
âPeyton, it was my own carelessness. What does it have to do with you? Stop crying, as long as Mr.
Schmitt is fine. I am young and strong. The injury will heal quickly. I am fine.â
He turned around and reached out to touch Peytonâs tearâstreaked
cheek. His eyes, however, held a different kind of seriousness. âMr. Schmitt has been rescued. You can
leave Aelford City with me without any worries, right?â
