Chapter 292 Even If It Costs My Life
âI donât want my daughter to follow the same path as her mother and me. Even if you wonât deprive her
materially, your heart is not with Peyton. You canât give her love. Day after day, year after year, one day
she will end up like her mother.â
âNolan, even if you consider our friendship over the years, please do me this favor.â
Nolan looked at Elbertâs pleading expression and felt touched. No one knew better than Nolan that
even when Elbertâs legs were brutally broken and he was shot multiple times, with only a breath left, he
never surrendered.
Now Elbert even wants to kneel down to Nolan! Elbert is an elder whom Nolan respects, and Nolan
cannot remain indifferent.
Although Nolan was very tempted by the proposal, he also knew that Peyton was extremely
disappointed with Colette.
Nolan did not want to sacrifice Peyton for his own interests.
You should know that he had hurt her enough.
But Elbertâs request left him with no choice. Nolan found himself in a dilemma.
Seeing Nolanâs hesitant look, Elbert was even about to bend his knees and kneel down.
Nolan quickly caught hold of him, âElbert, you donât have to do this.â
âNolan, do I have to kneel down for you to agree? Or what else do you want? Whatever I can give you,
even if itâs my life, I can
Peyton spent several comfortable days on the sea island. Every day, he ate and slept, and his quality
of life instantly improved.
She ran barefoot on the beach, holding a bucket in her hand. Every now and then, she would spot one
or two sand crabs and quickly use a pair of tongs to catch them and put them in the bucket.
Dawn originally wanted to come down and help, but as soon as she jumped down, she found that the
ground was too hot for her feet, so she quickly pulled her legs back up.
Peyton caught many small sand crabs and walked towards the livestock area. He dumped the crabs in,
which attracted the chickens, ducks, and geese to chase them madly.
Seeing these vibrant lives, Peytonâs mood improved a lot.
Peyton returned to the room and took a shower, getting ready to eat. Just then, he received a call from
Kevin, âPeyton, are you okay?â
âIt was great, the food was delicious, the drinks were good, and the sleep was good too, without
worrying about being
kidnapped.â
âThatâs good. I wanted to let you know that Mr. Schmitt arrived safely at the sea island. Just now, the
doctor on the island examined him and his condition is very stable.â
Peyton heard this and finally let go of the hanging heart. He hurriedly asked, âKevin, have you
confirmed with Leo on this side?â
âConfirmed, he will come over soon. However, Mr. Schmittâs side still needs to do some preoperative
preparations, and the surgery is expected to take about two weeks.â
After receiving a positive response, Peytonâs mood improved. âThe surgery has a high risk factor, and I
want to stay by my dadâs side.â
At that time, Peyton was not concerned about the truth, but rather about Kason not having any family
members by his side during the surgery.
âPeyton, I specifically tried to locate you based on your phone
signal, but the signal source on your end was deliberately concealed, and I couldnât find any
information at all.â
âItâs useless, you wonât find the small island I was on the map.â
âItâs okay, Peyton. In a few days, I will personally go over to take care of Mr. Schmitt for you. I will do
my best to protect him.â
âThank you, Kevin.â
âWhy is Peyton being so polite to me? I have always felt guilty for not being able to take you away with
me this time. Donât be afraid. Next time, I will definitely not give him a chance to catch you again.â
Kevinâs voice was gentle, âYou must take good care of yourself and make sure to take the medicine I
gave you on time. As long as you donât give up hope, you will definitely see the sunshine.â

Peyton hung up the phone and looked at the distant sunset, inspired by Kevinâs words. Her once
shattered psychological construction was gradually reshaped.
She believed that everything would get better.
Of course, what Peyton wanted most was to be able to be with Kason.
After Peyton finished eating, he proactively dialed Nolanâs
phone number. Since Nolan left, the two of them had not been in contact.
If it werenât for everyone taking good care of her, Peyton would have felt abandoned on a deserted
island.
The phone was answered and Nolanâs voice came through, as always, deep and low, saying, âHello.â
In the past, whenever Peyton heard Nolanâs voice, she would feel her heart flutter, but now only
calmness remains.
Peyton spoke, âHow long do you plan to keep me locked up?â
Nolan frowned, âIs the island not fun?â
This island was specially built by Nolan according to her preferences, almost perfect.
Peyton honestly replied, âItâs great, I even want to stay here forever. But I want to come back once, I
also canât rest assured about my dad.â
She whispered, âNolan, can I come back for a while?â
Nolan rubbed his forehead. He couldnât refuse her request.
âWait a few more days, I will arrange for someone to pick you up.â
