Chapter 291 Even If It Costs My Life

Seeing that Nolan did not answer, Elbert continued, “Donating bone marrow is different from donating a

kidney, there is no harm to the donor. I know Peyton is still upset about the previous kidnapping

incident, but they are still mother and daughter after all. Just let me meet her, there are some things I

want to say to her in person.”

“Elbert, I didn’t restrict Peytie, including her phone having a signal. If she wants to go, you don’t need to

come find me, right?”

Nolan exhaled a puff of smoke, “Since she has already made her decision, I will respect her. She

suffered significant

psychological damage during the last kidnapping incident, and I don’t want anything else to disturb

her.”

The conversation between the two has always been brief, but when it comes to Colette, Elbert had no

choice but to gather up his courage.

“Nolan, I could tell that you didn’t have Helena in your heart. Did you marry her to gain the support of

the Chase family, right?”

“I do not deny that there was this reason.”

“Okay, let’s make a deal.”

Elbert turned around and faced Nolan, “I will take the

responsibility to cancel this marriage arrangement on behalf of the Chase family, and ensure that the

Chase family stands by

your side during the election. You just need to persuade Peyton to donate bone marrow to her mother.”

There was no significant change on Nolan’s face. “You know very well how much your daughter wants

to marry me, yet you use her lifelong matter as a bet. In a way, you and Helena are quite similar.”

They were all very selfish and were willing to do anything for love.

“If the person lying in the hospital bed today were Peyton, I think you would only do more than I did, not

less.”

Elbert sighed, “If you truly love Helena, how could I make this decision? I am a person who has been

through it, and I know all too well how terrifying a marriage without love can be. People call this kind of

marriage a grave, and that is absolutely correct.”

“I once married Helena’s mother while suffering from amnesia, only to remember everything after she

became pregnant. During that time, I tortured myself every day, trying to convince myself to cherish the

present moment, but my heart couldn’t resist missing Colette.”

“I tried my best to be a good husband and father, but even touching her felt like a betrayal to Colette. I

thought as long as fulfilled my duties and maintained the marriage, it wouldn’t matter if I didn’t love her.”

“But no matter how well I treated her, respected her, and treated her with reverence, I couldn’t change

the fact that she was gradually withering away. Women are like flowers, and a man’s love is the most

important nourishment. In the end, she was still melancholic and died.”
