Deliberate Act
Nolan comforted Peyton and then walked out of the cabin. It was not until the moment the door closed
that Peyton’s tense body slowly relaxed.
She opened her palm and looked at the beads of sweat on it, a hint of resignation tugging at the
corners of her mouth.
When did it start that she and Nolan became so guarded towards each other?
They were not lovers, not friends, and definitely not superiors and subordinates.
She found it difficult to describe their relationship with a single accurate word.
As long as he didn’t bother Kevin, he would have escaped a disaster today.
On the deck, Kevin faced the strong wind and heavy rain, his whole body already soaked.
Nolan glanced up and down at him. Faced with his scrutinizing gaze, Kevin stood with a straight back,
showing no sign of yielding to his intentions.
He looked at Nolan with a pair of clear eyes.
To be honest, Nolan never really liked people like Kevin, who had such a naive and innocent
appearance.
So even though Kevin wanted to do that to Peyton on the boat last time, Nolan just saw him as a child
and didn’t take it to
heart.
Now Nolan realizes that he should have paid more attention. Kevin is brave and cunning. If he hadn’t
reacted quickly, Kevin might have succeeded, and it would have been even harder for him to find
Peyton than reaching the sky.
In the end, it was Kevin who spoke first, “Mr. Dalton, how do you want to deal with me?”
“I promised her that I wouldn’t hurt you. I keep my word.”
Nolan carefully examined his expression, and surprisingly, he showed no signs of fear.
Either Kevin was indifferent to life and death, or Kevin had long been convinced that Nolan would not
harm him. Everything was within Kevin’s calculations.
Being seen through made Nolan very unhappy.
But he didn’t show it, “I heard that you were injured, it’s time to apply medicine. Come in, I’ll have
someone rebandage you.”
Kevin seemed somewhat surprised, “You…”
Nolan snorted coldly, “That’s right, I wish I could throw you into the sea to feed the fish, but I don’t want
to hurt her anymore.”
Lucian made an inviting gesture, “Please.”
Kevin was very cooperative. However, as he passed by Nolan, he paused and said, “You clearly hurt
her badly, but now you’re acting all lovey-dovey. I don’t know if I should say you’re

affectionate or just pretending.”
Just as he finished speaking, he was forcefully pushed by Jayson from behind. “Hurry up and leave, or
I’ll throw you into the sea to feed the sharks,” Jayson threatened.
“Huh.”
The mocking sound Kevin made was light, like a heavy stone hitting Nolan’s heart.
Nolan tightly clenched his fists, he did not deny what he had done to Peyton.
He would spend tens of thousands of days and nights to make up for these more than 800 days. One
day, Peyton will emerge from this shadow.
Time is the best tool to heal scars.
Nolan did not return to the room, and the image of Peyton jumping into the sea kept appearing in front
of his eyes. He knew that Peyton no longer loved him, but rather felt resentment.
He didn’t dare to push open the door and meet her gaze.
He leaned against a sheltered spot in the corridor and lit a cigarette. His addiction to smoking was
growing stronger. Not knowing how many cigarettes he had already smoked, Lucian walked up to him.
“Mr. Dalton, I have sent him back to the harbor as you instructed.”
Nolan nodded and asked, “How is his injury?”

“He was injured by a sharp weapon. However, the battle that day was so intense, all long-range
shooting. Even if he was injured, it would only be a gunshot wound.”
Nolan touched his chin thoughtfully, his expression complicated. “What did the doctor say?”
“Everything was as you expected. Judging from the angle, depth, and the curling of the flesh around
the wound, it can be concluded that the wound was deliberate and not caused by a fight.”
Jayson looked puzzled and asked, “But he wasn’t injured at all, why would he stab himself? Is he
crazy?”
“What if he was intentionally showing weakness in front of
Peytie?”
Jayson immediately burst out, “Damn it, I’ve always heard that women are cunning. But in fact, men
can be just as cunning, even stabbing themselves in the back.”
Nolan’s eyes turned pitch black, and he lowered his voice, “This young man is extraordinary. It is
evident that what happened on the ship before was not a coincidence.”
“It was by no means a coincidence, it was deliberate and intentional!”
