Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 264 She Gave Up Everything

Nolan, standing by the door, immediately turned around to look at her. “What did you just say?”

Colette lifted up the small bear–shaped telephone watch. Tears streamed down her face. “This is the watch I gave to Peytie the night before your engagement. When we were kids, I promised her that if she came in first place, I would give her the latest model watch of that year. But that year, I left. This is my attempt to make up for what I should have given her.”

Colette placed the phone watch on her chest. “Peytie must have come already. She doesn’t want the phone watch, and she doesn’t want me as her mother. It’s my fault. It’s all my fault.”

Nolan had already run out.

The large hospital was bustling with people. He couldn’t find the person he had been longing to see.

“Peytie!”

Nolan shouted Peyton’s name loudly, but no one responded.

Lucian walked up to his side and said, “Mr. Dalton, I have found out. The person who took the watch is a hospital janitor. She said someone gave her money to do it. Mrs. Dalton did not come.”

Nolan’s heart sank slowly. Peyton didn’t even come to take a look at the seriously ill Colette. Obviously, she had already let go of this family bond.

Can she even let go of her own biological mother? What about him?
