Chapter 116 I Give You A Gift

Staying on this island, Peyton’s mood would improve a lot.

For whatever reason, she didn’t want to leave temporarily.

Peyton watched as the sky turned from black to white. It became daylight, and she wandered around the island.

Everyone treated her with kindness and warmly invited her to their homes for breakfast, thanking her for the supplies she had brought.

Rene asked excitedly, “Peyton, is it good–looking?”

Although Rene had never received formal training in painting, he had a natural talent for it. His previous black and white drawings were already impressive, and now with the addition of colors, they look even better.

Peyton nodded with relief and said, “Very beautiful.”

Peyton believed that if Rene could acquire more knowledge, he would achieve great success in the future.

“That’s because you taught well. Peyton, will you stay on the island forever?” Rene looked into Peyton’s eyes, which were shining.

“Um,” Peyton responded in a low voice. Even she herself didn’t know how much longer she could stay.

She didn’t know which one would come first, Nolan or death.

“Peyton, you look pale and have been gloomy these days. Are you worried about Chris?”

“He was doing well, being taken care of by a bunch of people every day. Don’t worry.”

With the following days remaining calm and no suspicious individuals landing on the island, Peyton breathed a sigh of relief.

The sea in this area was so vast, and moreover, this small island wasn’t even on the map. Apart from the indigenous people, no one else knew about the existence of this island.

The wind and rain were strong at sea. Even if someone used a drone for reconnaissance, in such harsh weather, the drone could still fly long distances.

It was not an easy task for Nolan to find Peyton.

Peyton regained her smile and had made a plan. She felt that once Nolan lost patience, the mastermind behind the scenes would also lose their patience.

Peyton found her self–worth here. She taught children to read every day, taught Rene to draw, and occasionally learned to make shoe soles with Laci on sunny days.

Phillip used to go fishing with the villagers. Sometimes, he would be away for several days, but he always came back with a lot of things.

In the glow of the setting sun, while everyone was rejoicing over a great harvest, Peyton noticed that Phillip’s hand was not right.

“Did you get hurt?”

Phillip instinctively hid his hands behind his back and answered in a low voice, “It’s nothing.”

Peyton pulled Phillip’s hand out and discovered a large wound in his palm, with blood flowing profusely.

Being stared at by Peyton, Phillip turned his head shyly and explained, “It’s just a minor injury. I accidentally cut my hand while pulling up a big fish.”

“This was such a big wound.”

Luckily, Peyton had bought a first aid kit when she restocked supplies. She said, “Come with me.”

Under the setting sun, the two sat by the door, and Peyton patiently bandaged Phillip’s wound. The golden rays of light fell upon his mask, making him appear somewhat gentle.

“Be more careful in the future,” Peyton said as he put away the first aid kit, but he noticed that Phillip was still staring at the bandaged wound.

“What’s wrong? Did I not bandage it properly?”

“No.”

Phillip slowly lifted his head. The sunlight reflected in his eyes, and his voice was also gentle.

“You were the first one to bandage my wound.”

Peyton looked away. She didn’t know Phillip’s background, and the people on the island didn’t know about his past either.

In a daze, Phillip grabbed her hand. Peyton asked, “What are you doing?”

“As a token of gratitude, I gave you a gift.”
