My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

0489 Peter felt exhausted. That day, he had a meeting he couldn't postpone. He and Theodore had been negotiating the purchase of a refinery located in the United Arab Emirates. The owner was quite the shark, making the days long and grueling. Peter had thought that once the deal was finalized, he could take a vacation with Celeste, but after her accident, that trip had to be postponed.

He wasn't entirely sure what he felt when he found out she had been hurt. One thing was clear, though- surprisingly, scenes from his own accident cflooding back. They only cin flashes, but he was certain he remembered several details.

He distinctly remembered hearing several men talking around him, warning each other not to touch him. One voice said his head was shattered. Another pointed out that he was still breathing. Yet another remarked that he should have been dead. Then cthe memory of someone putting a mask over his face. He recalled mentally repeating Mary's nover and over. Amazingly, it was the first ther nhad cto mind. No matter how hard he had tried before, he had never been able to see her face. This was the first ther nresurfaced so clearly.

This week had undoubtedly been exhausting for Peter. When he finally arrived home, Ethan greeted him with a warm hug.

"Grandpa, how's Miss? Is she okay? Can you tell me...?" "Ethan, Miss Celeste is okay, but I think she'll be out of school for a long time." Ethan looked at Peter and his little eyes filled with tears.

"Is Miss going to die?" "No, Ethan, she's fine. It's just that she broke her legs when the structure fell on her, but I have snews that you might like." What is it, Grandpa? Tell me!" "I'm going to talk to her. I know she lives far away from here, and I'm going to offer for her to live with us. Here we can take care of her and help her heal quickly." "Yes! Yes! I can take care of her... Yes, she can live here with us! The house is so big, and she can live with us. Plus, Spike already settled in my room, he's very comfortable there." "So, the cat is already here and in your room?" "Yes! He's very purry.. Last night, he slept withand dad" "Your dad slept with you?" "Yes, he couldn't sleep, and he stayed with me. He didn't want to sleep until you called, but you didn't, and he madego to sleep, but I didn't want to." "Okay, my little one! Hey, why didn't you go to school?" "Classes were canceled this week. Dad toldthe police wat to the school to investigate the accident," Good. I need to talk to your dad. Do you know if he's at home? "Yes, he's in his room.

Peter patted Ethan's curls and walked toward his son's too He knocked, and Alden answered, "Campe in...." +25 BONUS Peter entered and saw his son adjusting; his tie.

"How is Celeste?" "She's good... They operated on her last night until 11:00 pin, but first, they had to stabilize her and wait for her to fast enough for the anesthesia. She'll be in recovery for several months. Both of her legs were injured, the left one has a broken femur, and the right one only had a shattered bone, but still, she had to be operated on." "Theodore toldshe has no family. I don't understand how she'll manage, but I assyou've already thought of something." "Yes, I'm bringing her to live here..." "Wow! You're really interested in this woman. I've never seen you so focused on anyone. I don't see the problem, but consider that we'll need to make sadjustments to the house before she arrives." "I know! I'm going to talk to Theodore today so he can helpfind someone to make the necessary adjustments. I haven't told Celeste anything yet, from what I've seen, it won't be easy to convince her. She's very stubborn." "I don't know why this sounds familiar!" "What do you mean?" "You know exactly what I'm talking about, Peter Palmer. When are you going to tell Valerie Bartz that you're alive? Yesterday, she clearly realized it wasn'tshe saw. Her scrutiny toldeverything" "That's another topic I still don't know how to handle. Even though I don't remember her, I know I don't want to hurt her. After seeing her reaction yesterday, I clearly understood that if I show up now, it could give her a big shock. Also, I don't know if you saw, but she's pregnant."

"Yes, I witnessed it. Even after we finished discussing the accident and the kids, ds, Valerie felt unwell and Marcus! had to take her to the hospital. I took her son home, though it was an uncomfortable trip." "Why?" "Ethan is really upset with John. They actually fought at school, well, they only pushed each other a couple of times, but Ethan was really mad at his friend and still is.” Peter sighed and said, "I'll talk to him later. Are you going to work?” "Yes, Marcus isn't going, and we have several things pending in Palmer Group." "How's that going?'

"Good, Matthew and Frederick are sharks in this sea of opportunities. They're supporting my ideas, and we've made sreally interesting estimations. If everything goes well, the group could take off in a year. I won't need your capital to survive anymore." "You know you don't have to worry about that. You can payback when you think it's appropriate." "Yes, but I don't want to take advantage. Besides, I hardly help you with your businesses anymore, and I'va missed the chance to see how you move in the business wood" "Yes, but now you're trying to salvage something that at one point was mine, well, my family's. That, to me, is worth more than this."

After a brief conversation, Peter saw Alden leave, and Fit stayed with the housekeeper. Peter took a shower, lap down for a bit, his head was pounding. The memories kept coming, one after ariqther, just flashes of what his past used to be, nothing relevant so far
