Chapter 44
Chapter 44 She Had Already Lost The Will To Live.
In Nolan’s mind, Peyton has always been a symbol of vitality. When he heard Lucian say that Peyton’s life was in danger, he felt
very
confused.
Lucian walked briskly to Nolan’s side and opened the blood test images on his phone. The images showed that, apart from red
and white blood cells, the values of various other cells such as lymphocytes were slightly lower than normal.
Nolan thought about the heart–wrenching sound of Peyton’s voice when he left, and he asked himself what he had done.
He became at a loss, even his response was half a beat slow, “She had a fever.”
“The situation was not good, we should have immediately taken her to the hospital.”
“Prepare the car.”
Nolan thought about the previous few times he had met Peyton, who was always wrapped in thick down jackets, which was
completely different from his behavior of only wearing woolen coats in previous
years.
So... she was not putting on a show at all.
She was really sick.
Nolan hurriedly wrapped Peyton tightly, afraid of letting even a slight breeze in.

Because of
both pitiful and adorable.
Nolan wondered why Peyton’s condition had become life–threatening this time, considering that Peyton had previously only had
a fever.
At this moment, as Nolan held Peyton, he realized that Peyton’s weight had become much lighter than before, and he became
anxious once again.
Nolan rushed Peyton to a private hospital overnight. Timothy
approached with the blood test report and said, “Mr. Dalton, I have understood the situation. Mrs. Dalton is in critical condition, so
I need to administer a white blood cell booster to her.”
Throughout the whole time, Nolan held Peyton in his arms. And Peyton, in a daze, kept muttering.
She instinctively covered her stomach with one hand and extended the other hand, saying, “Nolan, save me and save our child
too.”
Peyton was still receiving intravenous fluids. Nolan quickly stopped her to prevent the needle from coming off.
Peyton grabbed Nolan’s hand as if grasping onto the last straw, and then she finally calmed down, a smile tugging at the corners
of her mouth. “My child, I have finally found you. Are you blaming me for not protecting you? Don’t worry, I will come to be with
you soon.”
Nolan’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter, “Lucian, go fetch Chris and tell him I missed him.”
“Yes.”
Nolan was never a person who believed in fate; he only believed in himself throughout his life.

But hearing those ominous words
he started to panic. Although he hated Peyton because of his sister’s death, he had never thought of wanting Peyton dead!
As soon as Nolan arranged a series of medical examinations for Peyton, he prepared to start the tests immediately after her
fever subsided.
“Peytie, you wouldn’t have any trouble. I promise I wouldn’t let anything happen to you.”
The fact, however, was not as simple as he had thought. Timothy tried various methods, but Peyton still had a high fever.
The only result of continuing like this was.
Peyton died.
“Worthless, can’t even do such a simple task!” Nolan thundered in anger, grabbing Timothy by the collar and said, “If anything
happens to her, I will withdraw all the funding for your research team.”
Timothy was also feeling aggrieved. “Mr. Dalton, it’s not that we didn’t- want to save her, but Mrs. Dalton’s physical condition was
unique, as she had already lost the will to live...”
“You are talking nonsense,” Nolan said angrily.
Peyton’s willpower was particularly strong. Moreover, how could she bear to leave Kason behind?
Timothy explained helplessly, “Mr. Dalton, we are not shirking responsibility. The various functions of the human body are
inherently controlled by the brain, and most of those medical miracles occur because the patients have a strong will to survive.
You should understand this, even if the body is on the brink of death, as long as the brain has the will to live, miracles can
happen. But Mrs. Dalton...

she has lost the belief to keep going, I’m afraid...
After releasing Timothy’s collar, Nolan took a few steps back, with Peyton’s words filling his mind.
“Nolan, I was wrong.”
“My biggest mistake was meeting you.”
Nolan thought that Peyton must have hated him so much that she even gave up on the hope of giving birth.
Timothy saw fear on Nolan’s face for the first time. It took a while before Nolan spoke again, “I looked at her blood report, why
are the values lower than normal?”
“Generally speaking, it was highly likely that this situation had occurred...” Timothy promptly stopped himself from saying what
he wanted to say.
Chemotherapy can cause a rapid decline in various bodily data. Although he did not give Peyton a physical examination in the
past two years, Peyton was in good health before and would not have had
cancer.
Moreover, Peyton is so young. Cancer patients are usually middle–aged and elderly people.
Timothy felt that Nolan’s current situation was not good. He couldn’t say such words to add to Nolan’s psychological burden
before the examination.
“What could it be?”
“Nothing much, has Mrs. Dalton had anything unusual recently?”
“She had a serious illness recently, and her arm was injured.”

“That’s right, soine bacterial and viral infections can also cause a decline in various bodily functions. She probably hadn’t fully
recovered yet when she suddenly got drenched in cold water, which is why the illness came on so aggressively.”
Every sentence felt like a sharp stab in Nolan’s heart.
Noticing Nolan’s expression was off, Timothy added, “Mrs. Dalton had a weakened immune system now, so we must protect her
well. She mustn’t catch a cold or fall ill. I will increase the dosage of medication to ensure her fever subsides.”
Nolan slowly lowered his hands and murmured, “Hmm.”
Seaview Villa.
Helena had no idea that Nolan intended to send the child to Peyton, so she was quite happy. Chris was becoming more and
more like Nolan, no wonder Nolan liked Chris so much.
Helena felt that the more Nolan liked children, the more advantageous it was for herself. Therefore, she was not worried at all
about her position because she believed that one day Nolan would marry her.
Lucian rushed into the ward with Chris in his arms, but Peyton’s high fever had not subsided yet, making the situation very tricky.
“Papa, hug me...” Chris extended his little hand from the swaddle and looked at Nolan.
Nolan brought him over and pointed at Peyton, the woman with flushed cheeks on the bed, saying, “Look at who she is?”
Chris’s eyes lit up and he exclaimed. “Mama. Want mama.”
Nolan gently placed him next to Peyton and said, “You hold her.”

Chris was very clever. Without Nolan’s guidance, he twisted his butt and went straight into Peyton’s arms, wearing a brown teddy
bear outfit.
Chris buried his head in Peyton’s arms.
Nolan gently brushed the tear stains at the corner of his eyes and whispered in Peyton’s ear, “Don’t cry, Chris has come back.”
Peyton had been having nightmares for over a year. In her dreams, there would be a child crying and constantly asking her why
she didn’t want them. However, she never saw the face of that child.
This time, in the dream, it was very quiet, with no children, only a deep and secluded sea. She walked step by step towards the
sea.
She was very calm.
My child, you have waited for a long time, and I have come to
accompany you.
“Mom,” Peyton heard a sweet voice suddenly coming from behind.
