Chapter 255 Peyton, the Angel Who Saved Me

Peyton stopped crying and sniffled. With teary eyes, she met Kevin’s clear gaze.

In his eyes, her face was clearly reflected. There was no trace of youthful innocence on his handsome face, but rather a rare maturity and seriousness.

Worried?

Kason had already taken care of his matter. As long as she was alive, she would eventually come back for revenge.

Peyton’s mind flashed with Nolan’s face. Peyton quickly shook that face out of his mind.

“No. I just wanted to see my dad before leaving. Is it possible?”

“Alright, I’ll take care of it.”

Peyton continued to tend to his wound, wrapping the bandage around Kevin’s muscular back, one loop at a time.

Peyton was shocked to find that he had many wounds on his body. “Kevin, how did you get so many scars?”

Kevin chuckled, “Peyton, have I never told you about my family before? Do you want to hear?”

“Um.”

Peyton brought a basin of hot water and gently wiped away the bloodstains from his body.

“My mother passed away early, but I have never said that she was driven to death by my father. My father had severe domestic violence issues.”

Peyton jerked her hand that was twisting the hot pad. She turned her head to look at Kevin.

His face lost its youthfulness under the dim yellow light of the wall lamp, appearing particularly mature, just like his physique. He was no longer the person she remembered.

Kevin tilted his head slightly upwards, revealing a prominent Adam’s apple. He chuckled softly, his voice sounding a bit hoarse.

“My father has always had a fondness for money and alcohol throughout his life. Whenever things didn’t go well in his business, he would come home drunk and beat my mother. Most of the wounds on my body were inflicted by him. My mother endured all the suffering for my sake, until that snowy night when my father lost money in stocks and used a hot iron to burn me.

“Peyton, have you ever heard the sound of a scorching hot iron touching the skin, like a branding iron? It’s like sizzling bacon on a charcoal fire.” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“My mother wanted to block, but only managed to block half. Half stayed on her, while the other half fell on my back. That night, my mother resisted for the first time. In her resistance, she was pushed down the stairs and died from the fall.”

Peyton’s gaze fell on the prominent burn on his waist. She couldn’t imagine the kind of pain it had been,

“When the police took me to make a statement, I followed their instructions and said that my mother had fallen down by herself.”

Kevin suddenly turned to look at Peyton. “Am I a bad kid? I lied. I let

that scumbag go.”

Two tears rolled down from the corner of his eyes. “Because I don’t want to lose both my mother and my father.”

The towel fell into the water. Peyton stretched out his arms and hugged Kevin.

“Kevin…”

Kevin continued, “I went abroad a long time ago, just to avoid him. From childhood to adulthood, only you cared if I had eaten and would take me home for the New Year. In my heart, you are the angel who saved me.”

Peyton thought about Kevin’s quiet and reserved nature when he was a child. Before he left, they exchanged contact information. In the beginning, during the years he was abroad, she frequently cared about him.

How did the contact break later on?

It was after she started dating Nolan. He didn’t like her getting too close to the opposite sex.

But she didn’t know that Kevin had once suffered such pain.

“Don’t be afraid, Kevin. It’s all in the past.”

The hand hanging in the air slowly grabbed her waist. He made a soft sound of approval. However, the hand holding her waist kept

tightening and loosening.

“Well, it’s all in the past.”
