NovelEnglishChapter 0523 +25 BONUS Before long, Peter arrived at the hospital where Celeste was being examined by a doctor Peter trusted.
"Peter," the doctor said, "I've checked on Celeste. Her wounds are healing well. If things continue like this, we can consider discharging her. After all, I know you'll take good care of her. There's nothing like being at home." "When would she be discharged?" Peter asked eagerly.
"I think she could leave today or tomorrow, depending on what you two decide. It might be a little inconvenient, but as long as she's well taken care of, she can go home. I'll just give you the full list of care instructions, medications, and follow-up appointments you'll need to stick to." "Perfect! Say no more." Celeste watched the two men attentively, feeling a bit uncomfortable. Peter was acting as if he were fully responsible for her. She couldn't quite explain the strange feeling in her chest. Part of her was touched, but another part felt overlooked.
Noticing her unease, the doctor addressed her directly.

He's been through similar situations- worse ones, even-so he knows exactly what to do and what not to do. Trust me, you're in capable hands." Celeste smiled faintly and nodded. After the awkward exchange, the doctor left. It wasn't until then that she noticed the bruise on Peter's face.
"Peter, what happened to your face?" she asked immediately.
Peter took off his coat, walked over to her, and greeted her with a warm kiss on the forehead.
"I slipped in the bathtub," he replied.
"Are you okay? Shouldn't the doctor check you out?" "Don't worry about it-it's nothing, just a slip and a bump.
Celeste half-believed the excuse but didn't press further. Peter sat across from her, gently caressing her cheek and staring at her intently. His actions made her blush. She wasn't intimidated by him, but she couldn't hold his gaze the way she used to-not after spending several nights together.
"Listen... With what the doctor just said, I think there's something I need to tell you.' "Go ahead," she said.
"I need to travel. I have to leave the country." "I see..." Celeste replied, lowering her gaze.
Something inside her told her the plan wouldn't unfold as they had initially discussed.
"Celeste, I have to go to Slovenia. I'll be away from Valentia for a while. I can't stay here, so...' "You have to go," she finished for him.

"Peter... But what about my job?" "Remember, you're on medical leave for now. I've already asked Theodore to handle that for you."
"Peter... I don't like the idea of you neglecting your life for me. Look at you-you've already day's here Ready spent Several days here.

"Yes! I have a few things to take care of, but you don't need to worry about the trip. I'll make sure you're comfortable." Celeste sighed. She hadn't expected her decision to set things in motion so quickly. After confirming her agreement, Peter kissed her and said: "I'll leave you alone for a bit. I need to arrange your discharge and our travel plans for tonight." "Alright..."
After leaving the room, Peter called Darius and asked to meet as soon as possible at a restaurant near Ethan's school. He also called his brother Maximus, and told him about the incident with the car. Maximus was surprised but didn't say much, only promising to have the car repaired and delivered to Peter by Theodore, as good as new. Peter didn't mention his upcoming departure. He didn't want to add more to his brother's likely terrible hangover or current worries.
