Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 34 Visit My Tomb

The days after the divorce were not as hard as Peyton had thought. Kadence stayed at home with Peyton for a few days and cooked different meals to nourish her body. Peyton gradually looked better.

The side effects of chemotherapy on Peyton were getting smaller and smaller. Although she couldn’t return to her former state, at least she wouldn’t pass out frequently.

The wound on her arm was scabbing again. Her hair fell more slowly. Everything seemed to be getting better.

Kadence was happy for Peyton. After all, Peyton had been sleeping next to her for the past few days rather than curling up in the crib. Kadence was confident that Peyton would slowly go through this.

Seeing that Peyton had recovered well, Kadence suggested. “Bruce will throw a reunion party. Anyway, there is nothing to do. Let’s go together.”

“I…” Peyton was just about to refuse when Kadence interrupted her.

“Most of our old classmates have successful careers. Don’t you want to find a better doctor? Maybe the bigwigs among our classmates know some good doctors.

“Besides, you say every day that you don’t have much time left. So you shouldn’t waste time at home. It’s good to go out and have a look around.”

Seeing the embarrassment on Peyton’s face, Kadence immediately understood what she was thinking. Once upon a time, Peyton was not only a rich kid but also a promising student in her mentor’s eyes.

Compared to her old classmates, the current Peyton had no

achievements. The Schmitt family went bankrupt, and she didn’t even finish her studies.

“You’re too thin–skinned. I gave up being a doctor and became the best house salesperson. I’m not ashamed. What are you afraid of? At least, you have 160 million dollars. Oh, that scum also gave you the Dalton Group’s shares, right?”

There were a lot of terms in the divorce agreement. Nolan was generous. Although Peyton did not get half of his property, she could never use up the money he gave her. Just the annual dividends from the Dalton Group were tens of millions of dollars, not to mention the real estate.

Whether it was to compensate Peyton or make a clean break, at least in this regard, Nolan was not scum.

Peyton really could not refuse Kadence’s request.

Looking at the online news of Nolan’s engagement party in a month, Peyton felt Kadence was right. No matter how long she could live, it was time for her to move on.

“OK.”

“That’s more like it. So many people had crushes on you back then. Maybe there is a handsome guy who’s still infatuated with you. Be good to yourself. You need to enjoy yourself while you’re young.

Peyton thought seriously for a moment and asked, “Will Melvin Jensen come?”

“Of course, but Melvin… Although he’s nice, he’s not good–looking. Is there something wrong with your taste after you were tortured by that scumbag?”

Peyton shook her head. “No. It’s just that I’ve heard that he inherited his father’s career after graduation and that he is doing well in the funeral industry, so I think that since we are old classmates, I can ask him to keep a good spot for me, right?”

Peyton spoke in a very calm tone, but Kadence felt heartbroken. “Don’t say such unlucky words.”

Peyton took her hand and said gently, “Kadence, this is the truth. You have to try to accept it. Everyone will die.”

The sadness returned. Kadence cursed angrily, “Then how come Helena, that home wrecker, is living happily?”

“This is fate. Probably my baby misses me too much. Don’t feel bad. Just think of it as a race. I will finish it first. Take your time.”

To dispel the sadness, Peyton teased, “After I die, come to visit my tomb often. Tell me about the latest TV dramas, movies, fashion, hot songs, and gossip. Otherwise, I’ll feel bored and out of date.”

Kadence smiled, “Then I have to watch a lot of TV dramas and movies, listen to new songs, pay attention to fashion and gossip. Well, this is heavy work.”

Peyton narrowed her eyes and chuckled, “You’re so sweet.”

Because of the reunion party, Peyton dressed carefully. She had short hair and matured a lot. When she was not smiling, she looked noble and elegant.

In Kadence’s words, even if Peyton didn’t talk and just stood there, she was so charming.

On the way to the hotel, Kadence asked, “Peyton, what are your plans for the next few days? Do you want to travel around the world? Anyway, we don’t lack time or money now.”

Peyton supported her head with one hand, looking at the scenery flashing by outside the car. She then said in a calm mood, “I want to set up a charitable foundation. There are a lot of patients in this world. who are suffering from terminal illnesses, just like me. And I also want to help the village children who can’t go to school.”

Kadence couldn’t say anything, only feeling sorrowful. Peyton had a huge amount of money. She could save a lot of people, but she couldn’t save herself. Peyton didn’t blame others for her misfortune, and she was willing to help strangers. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Peytie, you…”

Peyton smiled softly, “Just think of it as atonement for my father’s sins.”

“Peytie, one can tell whether someone is kind or evil at most times. I think that your dad is a good person. Have you ever thought that the evidence is fake?”

“I didn’t believe my dad would do something like that either until I saw the evidence. Nolan didn’t want that outcome any more than I did. He would have disproved it if there had been the slightest possibility, but in the end, even he accepted it. The evidence is unlikely to be fake.”

“Could it be that he plotted this to cheat on you?”

Peyton smiled even more resignedly, “Kadence, he’s Nolan. Do you think he’d take so much trouble for a divorce?”

“Fair enough.” Kadence sighed, “Even though there is hard evidence, I feel there is something wrong.”

“I have the same feeling. My dad was recovering well before. I was ready to discharge him from the hospital after a while. How did he have a heart attack? And after I went to visit Caitlyn, she jumped off the building that day. I only went to the cemetery once and was

photographed. I don’t believe all these were coincidences.”

Soon, Peyton’s expression returned to normal. “Then I figured it out. I can’t deny it just because I can’t accept reality. The day my dad had a heart attack, I went to check the visiting list. No one else had come. Maybe my dad was stimulated by my family’s bankruptcy. As for Caitlyn’s matter, it was just a coincidence. Helena must be related to what happened in the cemetery. Her goal was to force me to divorce. Nolan. Now that she has gotten her way, she won’t make trouble for me anymore.”

Kadence wrinkled her brow. “That’s not necessarily true, Peytie. You have to be careful and wary. Some people are evil, and some things might be schemes. Nothing is impossible.”

Peyton looked at the distant scenery and muttered, “If there is really someone behind all this, that will be terrifying. What a huge trap!”
