My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0560

[Willowcombe, Present Day]

The morning sun streamed through the curtains of Celeste’s bedroom, gently waking her. Strangely, she didn’t feel the usual chill, and Spike’s small body couldn’t be responsible for such warmth. Her eyes widened as she remembered who was lying behind her. A sharp pang hit her chest, and with quiet movements, she slipped out of bed, careful not to wake Peter.

Standing in front of the mirror at her vanity, she studied her reflection. Slight dark circles under her eyes betrayed her exhaustion, but overall, she looked fine. Taking a deep breath, she composed herself and left the room.

Celeste called her boss, explaining her situation and carefully omitting certain details. Her boss, concerned, reassured her that her position was secure and offered support. Celeste had earned her colleagues‘ respect in her short time at the museum, thanks to her knowledge of classical painting preservation and her strong character. Entering the kitchen, Celeste was surprised to find Peter already there, cooking breakfast with the same expertise she remembered from the past.

“Celeste, the doctor said you need complete rest. What are you doing out of bed? Go lie down–I’ll bring breakfast to you,” Peter said without looking up.

“Peter, it’s not necessary. I’m fine!”
