Chapter 207 Don’t Distance Yourself
At the hospital.
Kason still lay on the hospital bed, just like before, relying on nutrition fluids and various medical devices to stay alive every day.
Kason’s body weakened at a visible speed, especially his limbs, gradually shrinking.
He was like a lifeless flower, barely surviving on the last bit of nutrients from the soil.
Peyton had not been to the hospital for a while, and every time he saw his father, he would feel even more uncomfortable.
Kason’s cheeks had already started to sink, and Peyton’s tears fell onto Kason’s withered hand.
“Dad.”
She wished so much that one day a miracle would happen and Kason would wake up to see her. All she needed was a glance or a word to be satisfied.
“Peyton, don’t be sad.”
Kevin gently patted Peyton’s back. Peyton hung her head, not wanting to be seen in her current vulnerability
Peyton covered her face and silently shed tears. When she looked up, she noticed that Kevin had picked up the stethoscope to listen to Kason’s heartbeat.
“Kevin?”
Kevin put down the stethoscope and smiled at Peyton, “I also went to medical school. I just wanted to personally understand Kason’s
condition.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Kevin gave Kason a routine check–up. However, his expertise made Peyton suspect that he was more than just a medical school student.
“Peyton, can I take a look at Kason’s latest medical examination report?”
“Of course, it was possible.”
Peyton handed over all the medical examination reports to Kevin. Kevin began to read them carefully.
Time passed by minute by minute. After a while, Kevin finally looked up and glanced at Peyton. Unlike his usual gaze, Kevin’s eyes were filled with complexity at that moment. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Peyton, Kason’s illness is not incurable. If operated by Leo, there is a high chance of a successful surgery.”
Peyton sighed, “I know. But I couldn’t find him no matter how hard I tried.”
“Peyton, don’t worry. I will mobilize my contacts abroad to find him.”
Peyton wiped Kason’s body with a warm towel by the bedside and said, “I didn’t know if my dad could wait for that day to come.”
“He could definitely do it.”
Peyton turned her head and her gaze met Kevin’s. They both believed
in it.
Coming out of the hospital, Kevin regained his youthful liveliness. “Peyton, take me to a good restaurant! I’m hungry!”
“No problem! What do you want to cat?”
Peyton was an only child and had always wished for a sibling since childhood. In her eyes, Kevin was like a younger brother.
“There was a market nearby, Peyton. Let’s go there to have some snacks.”
“Sure.”
This was a famous market, bustling in the evening. Peyton held a cup of juice in one hand and a bag of fries in the other, with a paper bag hanging from their wrist filled with various snacks.
In the crowd, Peyton smiled like an innocent child, without a trace of sadness or gloom.
She hadn’t gone shopping or eaten snacks like today for a long time.
“Peyton, I remember you used to love laughing when you were little. You looked beautiful when you smiled. The more you laughed, the younger you seemed. Remember to keep smiling in the future, and don’t pretend to be mature.”
Peyton shook his head helplessly, “I wasn’t pretending to be mature, I was overwhelmed by life.”
“Peyton, can you become the Peyton I once knew when Kason wakes up?”
A gust of wind blew, and Peyton and Kevin both felt a cool breeze.
Peyton curved his lips and said, “I wanted to, but I couldn’t.”
The wind blew off the blossoms from the tree. Like a movie scene, a flower fell onto Peyton’s hair.
“Peyton, don’t move.”
Peyton froze. Kevin raised his hand and gently stroked her hair, removing the petals for her.
Kevin’s height had already grown enough to envelop her with his shadow. It was only then that Peyton realized the timid little boy had turned into a young man.
The light shone on Kevin’s face. He held the petals and softly said, “You see, everything in the world is getting closer to you, only you are distancing yourself.”
