Chapter 0510

Peter took Maximus’s car to head back to the hospital. He had only had a single glass of cognac, but seeing his brother in that state left him feeling something strange. It was an odd sensation–he and Maximus had never really shared a deep conversation or addressed personal issues before. Peter decided not to mention that his memories were gradually returning.

“No, Maximus, I haven’t closed it, and I don’t know if I ever will. I’m a damned coward! If I could turn back time, I would. I’d skip that meeting. I’d hold Mary tighter, kiss her more than once, make her mine, remind her how much I loved her, and kiss her beautiful belly again and again…”
