Chapter 0850

Two weeks had passed, and Peter still showed no interest in speaking to or seeing Maximus or Celeste. The hospital, which had once been filled with family and friends waiting outside his room, was now only visited by Alden- and occasionally, Marcus.

Celeste tried to stay calm and positive, but in this situation she wasn’t sure how much optimism she could muster.

After what Peter had told her, she had stayed away from the hospital. At first, Alden insisted that she visit, but one day, Celeste confided in Serenity, telling her everything Peter had said. After that, neither Alden nor Serenity pushed her to go anymore.

Alden decided not to pressure her further. Instead, he focused on visiting his father, who was getting stronger with each passing day. Soon, he would be discharged, and it would finally be time to confront everything that had been left unresolved.

Spending all that time alone in the hospital had forced Peter to process the overwhelming amount of information about his life.

Marcus had visited him regularly, updating him on everything that had happened–including how he had played a role in restoring their family name.

That was something Peter should have been proud of.
