My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0718

Maximus and Peter entered Dr. Hill’s office. The doctor felt a sense of relief when she saw the two brothers. She knew Peter’s situation was anything but simple, and though she had her doubts, she was genuinely interested in studying his case. He had been through so much, it was hard to believe he was still standing.

“Welcome, Mr. Palmer! How are you feeling today?” she asked warmly.

“Hello, Dr. Hill. I’m fine… calm, I suppose,” Peter replied.

“Dr. Hill, don’t believe him,” Maximus interjected. “This man needs urgent help. He had a few episodes while he was away, and the last one–he doesn’t even remember it.

“Maximus!” Peter snapped.

“Brother, if you want help, you have to be honest. If you’re just going to shut yourself off, how do you expect to make any progress? Do it for Celeste. Even if you don’t mention her, I know you’re doing this for her.”

Peter turned to look out the window, avoiding his brother’s gaze. He didn’t like how Maximus had started to read him so well. Since their mother’s death, they had drifted apart, at least until now, when Maximus was sticking to him like glue.
