My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0578

After the doctor examined Valerie, he found no reason for her to stay in the hospital and discharged her. Marcus drove her home in complete silence, the atmosphere in the car thick with tension. When they arrived, they were greeted by Camille and Emma, who were visibly worried after Valerie had left the house so suddenly.

Marcus accompanied Valerie to their bedroom, helping her into the bathroom so she could freshen up. While she was inside, he pulled out a suitcase from the closet and began packing a few changes of clothes. Guilt weighed heavily on him as he remembered how he had spoken to her earlier. She was pregnant, and he knew he should have been more patient, but he couldn’t shake the anger and betrayal he felt after learning she had gone to Peter’s house.

The truth was glaringly obvious to him now; their marriage was crumbling.

“Marcus, what are you doing?” Valerie asked as she stepped out of the bathroom, her face freshly washed and her voice edged with panic.

“Valerie… I’m sorry for the way I acted earlier and for the things I said. But it’s clear that things between us are tense. I think the best way to avoid further conflict is for me not to stay here for now.“”

“Marcus, please, don’t do this. I know I’ve made mistakes, but…”

“No, Valerie,” Marcus interrupted, his tone firm but not unkind. “We both know what you’re feeling right now. I don’t need your pity. I need you to focus on our children. I’ll be here for them–I’ll be present for every appointment and everything they need. After they’re born, we’ll sit down and decide what to do about our future.”

“Marcus, please… don’t leave!”

“For now, this is the best decision. Believe me, I’ve had enough of Peter for today. He was–or maybe still is–my friend, but I need you to understand something. The man you fell in love with is likely not the same man anymore. Just as you aren’t the same woman.”
