Throughout their conversation, Alden had asked his father multiple times if he wanted to see Celeste, but Peter refused every time. He even seemed irritated whenever her name was mentioned. However, whenever Alden spoke about his mother, there was a glimmer in Peter’s eyes–something Alden kept to himself.

“Celeste, why don’t you go home? Dad is asleep, you’ve seen him–he’s awake and stable. You need to rest in a comfortable bed. The babies deserve that, too.”

Celeste had to admit she needed rest. Her back was killing her, and her feet ached. Alden had already arranged for their family to stay at the house in Westhaven, so there was no need to spend the night at a hotel. Exhausted, she finally agreed–it was time to sleep in a real bed again. She take a bath, get some rest, and clear her mind.

But before leaving, she told Alden she wanted to see Peter, even if he was asleep. Alden didn’t hesitate to nod in agreement, especially since Diana would be staying behind while he took Celeste home–and he’d also take the chance to see his wife, Serenity.

Celeste stepped into the dimly lit hospital room and sat beside Peter’s bed.

“Peter… I know you’re asleep, but I just want to say… thank you for not leaving us alone. I don’t want to be alone again. Our babies are growing well, and I haven’t found out their gender yet because I wanted to wait until you were okay, so we could do it together.”

“I know this isn’t easy, but don’t ever forget–just like you took care of me after my accident, I’ll be here for you. For our children. For our family… I love you, Peter. And only you know just how much I love you.‘
