What Illness Did She Have?
Kadence’s first reaction upon seeing Nolan was to shrink her neck. The reason she had been so bold
at the table earlier was twofold: firstly, because alcohol gives people courage, and secondly, because
Peyton was by her side.
She had witnessed Nolan’s doting on Peyton with her eyes. The more he adored Peyton, the more
ruthless he was towards outsiders.
Kadence still remembers two years ago when she took Peyton to a pub. Nolan personally came to pick
up Peyton and gave Kadence a cold look when Peyton wasn’t paying attention, leaving only four
words, “No next time.”
When he left, Kadence had already been drenched in cold sweat. For several days in a row, she had
nightmares of Nolan’s eyes.
“Click.”
He closed the lighter lid and looked faintly at Kadence. That kind of fear struck again.
Kadence cleared her throat and her voice lowered by a few decibels, “Um, Mr. Dalton, I was looking for
Peytie. I won’t bother you anymore.”
Nolan casually flicked off the ash from his cigarette, glancing at her sideways, “Wanna chat?”
Kadence didn’t think Nolan would catch up with her. She politely declined, saying, “My mom says good
girls have to be home before dark. Maybe next time, next time.”

Speaking, she planned to run away, but she
bumped into another person, who happened to be Lucian, the enforcer whom Kadence used to secretly
refer to as Nolan.
“Ms. Fletcher, please.”
Kadence wanted to cry but a few minutes later she was invited to the nearby café.
Although she was sitting, her legs never stopped shaking, causing the coffee on the table to ripple.
Nolan intended to pick up the coffee, but he saw the latte art on top of it being shaken and distorted by
her Nolan’s hand froze in mid–air.
There was a hint of awkwardness in the air, Kadence raised an awkward yet polite smile and handed
over the coffee cup attentively, “Mr. Dalton, please.”
After doing all this, she secretly cursed herself for falling into her professional habit again.
After she handed over the coffee, the atmosphere became even more awkward. Nolan placed the
coffee aside and spoke up, “I wanted to know about Peyton and Alwyn.”
Kadence didn’t know that Nolan was sick, but she knew that Nolan. was possessive.
As her ex–husband, Nolan was still inquiring about Peyton’s current situation, clearly indicating that he
still had feelings for her. Kadence immediately spoke up, saying, “Mr. Russell should have a liking for
Peytie, but Peyton has no interest in him, otherwise I wouldn’t have made efforts to match them.”
Nolan’s gaze towards her noticeably grew colder as the words “matchmaking” were mentioned.
Kadence, with a submissive

demeanor as if facing a superior, cautiously looked up at him, keeping her neck tucked in.
“Um… Mr. Dalton, you didn’t… still have feelings for Peytie, did you?”
This question clearly involved his forbidden territory. He didn’t answer, tapping his index finger lightly on
the table, “How far have they developed?”
“No, no, I can assure you, there was nothing between them. Peytie was feeling very down after the
divorce, and she didn’t leave the house for many days. Today, I convinced her to come out and take a
break. As for Mr. Russell’s appearance, it should be related to our class monitor making plans with him,
it has nothing to do with Peytie.”
Nolan remained silent, his eyes as deep as black holes. Kadence watched in fear and uncertainty,
unsure if he believed or not.
Kadence really didn’t know how Peyton got along with him. This person was completely poker–faced,
showing no signs of joy or anger!
Others couldn’t tell what he was thinking at all.
“If you don’t believe me, I can swear that if there is anything between Peytie and Mr. Russell, let me go
out and get hit by a car.
Nolan raised his eyelids, but didn’t make any other response. Kadence gritted her teeth and added,
“Then let me be single for the rest of my life.”
Wasn’t this oath vicious enough? Nolan added, “I’ll be broke for the rest of my life.”
Damn it, Nolan! He immediately seized Kadence’s fatal weakness. Kadence managed to squeeze out a
few words, “Fine, then leave me penniless.”

Nolan believed to some extent because Kadence didn’t dare to deceive.
him.
“Did she get sick recently?”
“Yes, at that time I broke up with the scumbag and ignored her, but luckily Mr. Russell cooked for her
every day.”
Kadence wanted to tell Nolan the truth, but the relationship between Peyton and Nolan was so
complicated that even Peyton couldn’t explain it clearly. Kadence also didn’t know what kind of
consequences revealing the truth would bring to them, so she had to follow Peyton’s decision.
Thinking of Peyton’s pale face during that time, Nolan asked one more question, “What illness did she
have?”
Kadence’s heart skipped a beat. Under Nolan’s sharp eyes, she dared not show the slightest
expression on her face, “I caught a cold.”
“Just a cold?”
“What else? Peytie’s health has always been good.”
“True,” Nolan agreed, thinking to himself, “She pretended to be so weak, probably just to gain my
sympathy and avoid divorce.”
After getting the answer he wanted, Nolan stood up and said, “If you’re interested, you can work at
Dalton Building tomorrow.”
Kadence’s eyes lit up. The Dalton Building was the real estate division of the Dalton Group. If she could
work there, no one would dare to underestimate her!
“Thank you, Mr. Dalton. Mr. Dalton was great.”
As Nolan left, Kadence chased after him and asked, “Mr. Dalton,

Peytie’s phone has been unreachable. I lave you seen her?”
Nolan turned to look at her, “What do you think?”
Kadence thought, “Nolan is right here, why did I ask such a silly question?”
Kadence scratched her head, “I was really silly, I was just a little worried about Peytie.”
Nolan ignored her and continued to leave. Kadence thought and thought, and finally mustered up the
courage to speak, “Mr. Dalton, if you truly still love her, please treat her better and stop hurting her. She
still has feelings for you.”
Although Nolan was a scumbag, it seems that Nolan still cared about Peyton. Kadence only hoped that
Peyton wouldn’t have any regrets in the limited time they had.
Kadence felt relieved when she found out that Nolan was not with Peyton. She assumed that Peyton
had put her phone on silent and was probably on the way home with Mr. Russell.
She didn’t know that Peyton was locked in the bathroom at that moment, and Nolan had turned off the
lights before leaving.
Peyton used to be fearless. Since she fell into the water, she watched Nolan’s figure leaving with
Helena, while she held her stomach and was gradually engulfed by darkness.
She was afraid, afraid that the child would leave her.
When Peyton woke up, she was already on the operating table in the hospital, with a bright white
surgical light shining above her head. In agony, she bid farewell to her child.
So she was afraid of both darkness and overly bright light.

Just like now, the cramped bathroom was filled with cold water, not enough to suffocate her, but it
reminded her of the day she fell into the
water.
She pleaded desperately, hoping that someone could save her and get
her out.
However, the soundproof wall on the 38th floor effectively drowned out all of her voices.
Just like that day, even if she screamed her lungs out, she couldn’t change the outcome.
Peyton’s body had already lost all warmth, and her voice had long become hoarse. She was numb
from the cold, and her voice gradually grew weaker.
“Help, anyone, save me…
