My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0639

Maximus and Lucius entered the elevator in tense silence. As they walked down the long, sterile hallway, the scent of disinfectant lingered in the air. The bright, orderly surroundings only amplified the weight of the moment.

Maximus nodded, gripping the doorknob with trembling hands. He opened it and stepped inside. The first thing he saw was Alexia. Her blond hair framed a face that, despite the passage of time and her current state, still held remnants of the woman he had once considered the love of his life.
