My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0378 At the house where Peter had left his son, Theodore was keeping an eye on the young couple. Though he had no children of his own, he understood the saying: blood calls to blood. The moment he saw the boy, he knew he was Peter's son. That sboy, whom Peter had once only intended to observe from a distance, was now there, being helped by a man who had lost his memories but was showing genuine care for someone for the first time. Theodore was deep in thought when the boy's voice interrupted him.

"Theodore, can you tellwhat happened to my father? He toldyou're the one who knows the most about it. Could you explain?" Alden asked, glancing at Grace, who was lying on the couch in the living room.

"Young man, why do you want to know about such things? Be satisfied with what your father has told you,' Theodore said, trying to dodge the question.

"No. My supposedly dead father has just shown up, and I want to know why he never cback, why he never looked for us. I know he's trying to explain himself, but I can't believe everything he says," Alden replied.

"If you don't believe your father, why would you believe me?" Theodore retorted, a bit irritated by the boy's persistence.

"Try to understand-my father, who was supposed to be dead, isn't. That doesn't make sense," Alden said, frustrated. "Don't getwrong; I'm grateful he's here, but his sudden appearance leaveswith so many questions." "Your father survived by a miracle," Theodore said, his tone softening.

"How?" "This might sound ridiculous, but I was involved in his supposed death. The person who tampered with his car's brakes was sitting right next to me. I watched as his car veered off the road and plunged into the ravine," Theodore said, looking away.

Theodore, clearly annoyed by Alden's persistence, took a deep breath to calm himself and walked toward the small study in the safehouse.

"You want to talk? Fine, let's talk. But what I'm about to tell you could have serious consequences for you in the future. Are you ready to face them?" "Yes! I want to know what happened to my father. If that means taking responsibility for it, will," Alden said, not fully understanding what Theodore meant.

Theodore poured himself a bit of cognac, downed it in one gulp, and sat in the chair behind the desk "Your father and I worked together when he was just a young man-25 years old, I think. Our job mostly involved preparing activity reports. I have to admit, your father was a good man. We quickly developed an odd partnership.

"Peter was young and careless about his security. He liked to keep a low profile, but that didn't stop people from wanting to harm him-just like what happened. Frank Levett was one of the most powerful men in Valentia, and no one dared to cross him. His granddaughter was the apple of his eye. She was engaged to your uncle, Maximus Palmer.

"Your father knew sunsavory details about her, and since Maximus was about to marry her, it wasn't convenient for Peter to stay alive. On top of that, Frank Levett found out who your father was working for, and that put a target on his back.

"From your face, I see you're confused. At that time, I worked for Frank. He had assignedto deal with the issue. I delayed it as much as I could, but after several reminders, Frank decided to have someone else take care of +25 BONUS Chapter 0378 it.

"That's how we got to the day your father supposedly died. learned about the plan just hours before the accident. I sent him a message, but I had his executioner withthe entire time. All I could manage was to send him two or three words of warning.

"Your father hated driving at night. His eyesight was fine, but driving after dark made him nervous-I don't know why. He was driving fast, and we followed at a distance. I didn't know exactly what they had planned for him, but in a moment, I saw his car go off the road and down the ravine. My companion handedthe phone, and I reported to Frank that the job was done.

"Like nothing had happened, we turned around and left the area. After shaking off my companion, I sent my trusted men to search for Peter. To my surprise, they found only one body in the passenger seat.

"That night, I learned that after receiving my message, Peter had requested an escort-someone I had assigned to him earlier. That man was in the car with him. My men searched the area around the ravine. It took them hours to find Peter. He had jumped from the car to save himself, but his body was broken-multiple fractures, and his skull had smashed against a rock. It was a miracle he survived.

"Peter was airlifted to Raffles Hospital. Meanwhile, onlookers watched as the wreckage of pulled from of his car was the ravine. By the temergency services arrived, my men had taken care of things.

Marcus Bartz cto identify the body, but it wasn't Peter-it was his escort. "It's ironic. I learned this from Bartz. I never thought that man would fall for his own trap. I expected him to investigate further, but he didn't. He simply assumed his friend was dead and left the country.

"Your father's wife also fled because Alexia Levett had ordered her and her daughter to be killed. She wanted the Palmer inheritance to go to the children she planned to have with your uncle.

"The entire event was filled with holes and inconsistencies, but in just two days, the Palmer family experienced so much turmoil that it was easy to cover up the truth.

"Personally, I didn't know Marcus Bartz was the only one authorized to handle matters involving your father. For hours, a representative waited for the family to cidentify the body, but Darius Richards instructed that Bartz be the one to authorize what to do next.

"The family eventually arrived-Mary and her faithful housekeeper, accompanied by Darius) But no one е was allowed to see the body. The only one who identified it was Bartz.

That's what you saw in the investigation Maximus ordered. "After that, what happened within the family doesn't matter anymore. What matters now is that Peter is alive, and you're the first person he's admitted it to.

"Do you understand?"
