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’s thoughts wandered, flashing back to Lucius’s infancy–the tiny hands, the baby’s laugh, and those fleeting moments of innocence. A lump formed in his throat.

“This is it,” Lucius said, stopping in front of a door. “I’ll wait in the lounge inside. There’s a connecting door to her room, and if I hear anything suspicious, Maximus, I’ll personally throw you out.”

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. Their eyes met, hers widening in surprise and slight panic.

“Maximus,” she said sharply. “What the hell are you doing here?”

“Hello, Alexia.”

“Hello, Maximus,” she sneered. “What is it? Can’t live without me and decided to come running?”

“Don’t flatter yourself, Alexia,” Maximus shot back. “I thought that after everything, your condition might have humbled you.”

“Maximus, this is who I am. Always have been. Always will be. So, tell me, why are you here? To gloat? Mock me?”
