My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0095

Peter woke early to prepare Mary’s things for her stay at the clinic. It broke his heart to see her like this, but he knew he couldn’t give her the help she needed. That had to come from experts, through therapy and time. Aurora, Mary’s closest friend, had insisted on being part of the process and would accompany her.

“Peter, don’t worry. I can take her and settle her in. Just sign the commitment form from the doctor, and I’ll handle the rest,” Aurora assured him.

Just as Peter was about to leave, he received a message from Catherine. She urged him to come to Valeria as soon as possible. The urgency in her request puzzled him, but when his grandmother had a plan, there was always a reason behind it.

Aurora carefully entered Mary’s room and found her sitting on the edge of the bed. Mary was already dressed in a loose beige blouse, white wide–leg pants, and matching flats. Her hair was neatly braided. Aurora’s heart ached at the sight of her friend’s red, puffy eyes and tear–streaked face, yet Mary greeted her with a faint but warm smile.

“Aurora! Did you have to threaten Peter to bring you here?”

“Of course! You know me. Once I set my mind on something, I don’t stop until I get it,” Aurora replied with a grin.

“Oh, how I wish I were more like you! I’ve admired that about you since the day we met.”

“There’s nothing to admire! Look at you–you’re stunning. The years haven’t touched you. You still have the same youthful glow as the 18–year–old I met back then,” Aurora said, her tone playful and lighthearted.

“Come on, that’s not true.”

“Of course it is! Look at me, already getting wrinkles at 27. There’s something magical about you. Hesperian girls–you just don’t age. And look at you now, dressed like a movie star for a trip to the clinic,” Aurora teased, hoping to lift the mood.

Mary chuckled at her friend’s antics, appreciating her ability to bring humor even in the darkest

moments.

Peter entered the room to find the two women smiling broadly. For a fleeting moment, he wondered if what Mary really needed was a few carefree days with Aurora. Maybe that would bring her back to herself, just like when she lived with him. But then he remembered Dr. Hill’s words: Mary was hanging on by a thread, tethered only by her love for her grandfather. Any moment, any revelation–like the news of Maximus’s baby–could shatter her completely.

Steeling himself, Peter resolved to ensure she received the professional care she needed.
