Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Do You Think I Did It?

Peyton put down the basket of flowers and explained, "I'm a friend of hersI'm here to see herI'll go soon."

"There's no need for thatStrangers will only stimulate herMsSchmitt, please leave."

Caitlyn shoved a pillow into Peyton's arms in grief. "Take my baby and goYou have to raise her, and I'll hold these people off for youRun!"

Then Caitlyn picked up the fruit basket Peyton had brought and smashed it fiercely toward the attending doctor. "I'll kill you, you devilYou're the one who wants to take away my childI'll kill you!"

Security guards in helmets carried shields and rushed to the doorThey used electric batons to knock Caitlyn downFour men then threw her onto the bed and quickly tied her up.

Caitlyn was still shouting, "Give me back my baby!"

As the tranquilizers were injected into her, she gradually lost her strength and fell asleep within moments.

Peyton, who witnessed this, only felt shockedRather than a hospital, this was a prison

They were not doctors but guards.

Caitlyn looked so harmless as she passed outPeyton was asked to leave the roomShe failed to get anything out of Caitlyn.

Peyton looked back as she left just in time to see Marlie Yoder, the doctor, cursing the nurses for letting Peyton in.

During the time Peyton lingered, Marlie looked up at herTheir eyes metMarlie quickly looked away and stopped cursing.

Peyton felt something was wrongMarlie had obviously never seen her before, but Marlie seemed to know her.

According to Nolan's information, Caitlyn had an accident after the college entrance examShe was abandoned by Kason, had an abortion, and went insaneLater, she was brought to the hospital for treatment.

But Caitlyn was clearly in a strange state just nowShe yelled "baby" but didn't mention anything about the baby's fatherPeyton wondered, "Could it be because Dad hurt her too much?"

Peyton went to Caitlyn's house, wanting to ask Caitlyn's parents about what had happened back then.

By the time Peyton arrived at the Nash's house, there were new tenants, and Caitlyn's parents emigrated a year ago.

"They left their daughter behind and went abroad?" Peyton thought, feeling even more confused.

The Nash family was ordinary, even though their youngest son's grades were good

Peyton wondered, "Where did they get the money to go abroad?"

Peyton asked Dwayne out again, and Dwayne was as respectful as before. "MsSchmitt."

"Dwayne, there's something else I want to trouble you aboutDo you know Caitlyn?"

"YesShe is quite pitifulTwo years ago, she was suddenly diagnosed with a mental illness, probably because her family gave her too much pressureNowadays, children are patheticOnce they are not mentally strong enough, something may happen to them."

"Dwayne, I want to ask if Caitlyn has a boyfriend."

Dwayne immediately waved his hand, "NoShe took her studies very seriously and kept a distance from males at all timesThe only male she was close to was MrSchmitt, who was kind and often helped them unconditionally, including Leilani, Caitlyn, and Annie Conley, who diedIt's just that all of them are unluckyMrSchmitt helped them in vain."

"As far as I know, Caitlyn's family is not well offWhy did they suddenly emigrate?"

"Her mother remarried a rich man

Caitlyn applied for a foreign university, but it is a pity that something like this suddenly happenedIf MrSchmitt knew this, he would feel very sorry for Caitlyn! He was so good to Caitlyn and had high expectations for herWhat a twist of fate!"

Peyton inquired about a few more people, and Dwayne's answers were no different from the information provided by NolanShe had wanted to make it up to those girls, but they had either moved or gone back to their hometowns, and none of them could be found.

Peyton had to call it quits for nowShe would make a trip to the hospital when Caitlyn had enough rest.

Peyton chatted with Dwayne for a while before partingAfter looking at the sky outside, Peyton took a taxi home.

It was the evening rush hour, and Peyton was leaning against the window, her eyes closedWhen the local news was broadcast on the taxi's radio, she heard that someone had jumped off Fellony Psychiatric Hospital's building.

Peyton opened her eyes and asked the driver to turn up the sound... She thought, "Isn't that the psychiatric hospital I visited today?"

She took out her cell phone and searched on the internet

The deceased was Caitlyn, whom Peyton visited during the dayIn the photo, Caitlyn was wearing a thin hospital gown and jumped down from the top floor with an eerie smile on her face.

The moment Peyton saw the photo, she felt a chill down her back, and goosebumps broke out all over her body.

The driver said, "Miss, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"

"Oh, I just feel sorry for this girl."

"She had a mental illnessIt's normalMy cousin's kid is depressed and has committed suicide a few timesIt's a relief for them to leave this world."

Peyton begged to differ, thinking of the young girl who had been bound to the bed and sedated.

Peyton went home unhappilyNolan hadn't returned yetPeyton leaned back on the couch, feeling exhausted.

All she could think about was the image of Caitlyn jumping off the building.

Thinking about her upcoming end, Peyton wondered, "Will it be like this when I die? I have no relativesWill Nolan be sad or feel relieved?"

Peyton turned on her phone and began to look up tips for traveling in North City

She had to make the most of her remaining days.

That night, Nolan came back latePeyton took the notebook which she had written on for a long while and went up. "When can you go to North City with me? I have chosen the hotel and flightLet's go to..."

Before Peyton could finish, the notebook in her hand was slammed hard on the groundShe then realized that Nolan was full of angerHis eyes were cold.

The smile on Peyton's face froze as she asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"

Nolan leaned over and stared icily at Peyton.

"Have you been to Paula's grave?"

Peyton nodded. "Yeah, I visited Paula's grave when I went to visit Grandma'sI know you hate my father, but I'm still qualified to visit her grave, right?"

"Visit?" Nolan grunted before flinging a pile of photographs toward PeytonThe gravestone that had been standing under the plum tree was in pieces, and the scene was a mess.

Peyton froze. "How did it become like this?"

Nolan met her shocked eyes, his face frosty. "Now you are still pretending? Peyton, in the past, although you are occasionally a bit arrogant, you are kind and gentle

I have been merciful to you many times, but you are so vicious! Paula did not enjoy a single happy day when she was alive, and she had to be treated like this after she died."

Peyton responded a moment later with incredulity on her face, "Do you think I did this?"
