Chapter 0745

The Rosaria hospital was a massive complex, a collection of three U–shaped bulldings. Dr. Hill had been

extremely cautious, but no matter how much she tried to avoid it, if fate had its way, Valerie and Peter were bound to run into each other eventually.

Peter did his best to stay in his room, especially when his mind felt scattered. He was fully aware that he might run into Mary, so he avoided the gardens and common areas altogether.

But one day, as if destiny had decided to intervene, Peter was walking back from a session with Dr. Hill, lost in thought as he made his way down the long corridor leading to his building.
