Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Can You Accompany Me Before My Death?

Peyton was certain that Nolan was devastated after his sister's deathThose two years made him more and more insaneJust now, he wanted to kill Peyton and die with her to accompany his sister.

Kadence hadn't come yetAnother light illuminated the landscape in the distance, and the car stopped not far from her.

With Nolan's intelligence, he must have quickly realized that she hadn't left yet, so he turned backThe door opened, and Nolan hurriedly got out of the car, looking around as if he was searching for something.

Soon, he was walking in Peyton's directionPeyton huddled there, too afraid to moveHer fingers were tugging at the corners of her clothes.

Hearing Nolan's footsteps getting closer, Peyton held her breath in fear and closed her eyes.

Peyton wondered what Nolan would do when he found her, thinking, "Will he kill me to avenge Paula's death?"

Her beloved man was now a different person, and today, it was the first time she felt frightened by him

Her heart was beating extremely irregularly with the sound of his footsteps.

Peyton was scared.

The scary crunching sound of Nolan stepping on the snow was getting closer and closer.

Peyton's face went paleWith a hundred-year-old tree between them, Nolan stopped.

After a few seconds, Peyton only heard the rustling sound of Nolan leavingHe hadn't noticed herShe was relieved at that moment.

But soon, she realized that she was surrounded by a few drops of bright red bloodThey looked clear on the snow-covered ground, so how could he not have noticed her?

Peyton wondered what Nolan had been thinking when he paused for a few secondsIt was obvious that he had spared her.

Peyton carefully peeked out and watched Nolan's back as he left in the moonlightShe couldn't see the expression on his faceA mist hung around the man.

She suddenly had a feeling that maybe this was his silent goodbye.

When Kadence picked her up, Peyton was covered in snow, with some blood on her clothes

Kadence was scared to the point of squealing, "Did Nolan do this? I'll teach this bastard a lesson! Does he think he can do anything just because he is wealthy? He cheated on you and even beat youI'll contact the gossip magazines tomorrow and publicize all his crimes!"

Peyton gave a wry smile and stopped Kadence, who was about to pry the bumper off the car to smash Nolan's door.

"Take me to the hospital firstThis has nothing to do with himHe doesn't know I'm sick."

"Sick? What have you got?" Kadence asked.

"It's a long storyI'll tell you slowly when I have time."

By the time Kadence rushed Peyton to the hospital to get her wound treated and went back, it was after midnight.

Back at Peyton's apartment, Kadence sat across from her with a stern face. "Tell me what you're hiding from me! How did you get that injury on your arm?"

"Kadence, be prepared for what I'm about to say."

Kadence casually lit a cigarette with a haughty look. "What? Don't underestimate me

What kind of big event have I not experienced? Just say itI won't be scared."

"I won't live long."

Kadence froze as she heard thisThen Peyton continued, "I have stomach cancer."

Kadence was stunned for a few seconds, choking and coughingWhen she recovered herself, she hurriedly put the cigarette outShe cried from the coughing.

She was so panicked that she accidentally knocked over the glass on the table, spilling water all over it.

Kadence hurriedly drew out a tissue and wiped the tableHowever, she wiped it so hard that everything on the table was pushed to the floor.

A bottle of stomach medicine that hadn't been capped yet collapsed on the tableA few pills were scattered on the ground, and the white bottle cap swirled around on the ground.

Kadence muttered, "I'm so stupidI'm so young, but I can't hear clearlyI just actually heard you say that you have stomach cancerI must have gone crazy because of that bastard..."

Peyton pressed the back of Kadence's hand and gently said, "Kadence, face reality."

Kadence stopped moving and raised her teary eyes. "You're joking, aren't you?"

However, Peyton's eyes were serious. "You know I never joke

I cut my hair short because I had to undergo chemotherapy."

The tears in Kadence's eyes slid downShe grabbed Peyton's hand and still couldn't believe it. "It's a misdiagnosis, right? It must be a misdiagnosis! You're so young and strongHow could you possibly get this disease?"

Peyton helped Kadence sit down and told her what had happened.

Kadence's face was full of tearsShe had always felt that cancer was far away from themWhen such a thing happened to her best friend, Kadence felt it was like a dream.

"Don't worryModern medicine is very advancedYou just need to cooperate with the doctorsYou will be fine."

Kadence wiped her tears with the back of her hand. "I'm sorryI didn't even know about all these thingsI'll accompany you for chemotherapy in the futureI'm rich now, so I can take a year offI'll be around you until you're cured."

Peyton just gently shook her head and looked out the window with empty eyes. "Go to see the aurora borealis with me..."

"Okay

When you get better, not to mention the aurora borealis, I'll get all the stars in the sky for you if you want."

"Someone also said he would get stars for me back then."

Kadence was annoyed. "You love-struck idiot! He doesn't want you anymoreWhy are you still thinking about him? If I were you, I'd defeat the disease and find a dozen boyfriends to piss him off."

"Kadence, he's not to blame for thisHe's sick."

"He has stomach cancer too? I hope it's terminalStand him a while longerAfter he dies, all the property will be yours!"

Peyton was amused by her. "Come hereI'll tell you slowly."

That night, the two slept on the same bedPeyton told Kadence everything.

Her voice was very nice, just like a comforting breeze on a summer evening.

Kadence was silent for a moment after listening. "So he blamed you for his sister's death? And he cheated on you in order to get back at you? What a jerk!"

Yet Peyton said, "I can understand his love for his sister and sense of guilt

If such things happened to me, I wouldn't be able to keep calmHe is more agonized than we imagined."

"Peytie, this cannot justify what he didYou are love-struckSince he plans to let you go, just divorce him, take the compensation, and go far away."

"Kadence, have you let go of your feelings for Ruben Caldwell?"

Kadence was silent.

She had loved Ruben for so many yearsIt was not easy for her to forget him.

"I need timeTime can heal all the woundsJust like it can swallow solemn vows and pledgesThere is no unforgettable love in this world."

Peyton murmured, "But I don't have enough time."

"Don't give up on the treatment."

"Kadence, do you know what chemotherapy feels like? It feels like someone has drained me of everything inside my bodyI ached all over and had no strength, like an invalidThat's just the first phaseAs it goes further, the drugs will penetrate into my bone marrowIt will be excruciatingly painful.

"My father is in a coma in the hospital

My mother has long since remarriedThe only man I love dearly is in love with another womanNow there is nothing in this world that I am attached toKadence, can you accompany me before my death?"
