My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0781

What you should do is find your friend. Go to him, talk to him. Do it before he ends up forgetting about you. He never meant to hurt you. You were like an older brother to him–the brother life never gave him with Maximus.

“Well… now Maximus, even though he’s not his biological brother, takes care of him. He has him. But Peter is getting lost in his memories, and it’s weighing on Maximus too. Close that chapter, Marcus. I know you’re going back to Hesperia, but before you leave, you should visit Peter. Say goodbye properly. No matter what happened, everything had a reason. Don’t waste this last chance.”

“I have to go, Vincent,” Marcus said, placing the flowers in one of the two vases by the plaque.

“Goodbye, Marcus! Take care!” Vincent said with a smile.

“I hope to see you again someday!” Marcus replied, extending his hand.

“No, Marcus, no,” Vincent said, shaking his head. “This is the last time we’ll see each other. Out of respect for your wife and family, it’s best that we don’t keep in touch.” He grasped Marcus’s hand firmly before pulling him into a strong embrace. “With this, we close a painful chapter of our lives.”

“But…” Marcus said, surprised.

“I already told you, Marcus Bartz. Hold your head high–you’re free now. Let go of the burden we represent. Move on with your life. Enjoy your family while you still can.”

“Thank you, Vincent… for everything,” Marcus said, feeling a lump in his throat.

“Goodbye, Marcus. Take care,” Vincent said, waving as a final farewell.
