My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 838

After taking Peter in, Dr. Wagner conducted several tests, including CT scans and other scans, all to confirm his suspicions. Additionally, he asked a series of questions, and based on the answers, he discovered the very thing he had feared—the truth was right in front of him.

“Oh God… Peter Palmer has selective memory loss.”

Dr. Wagner realized from Peter’s answers that the man only remembered events up until he was nearly 25 years old.

“What’s wrong, Doc? Judging by your face, I’m guessing it’s not good news, is it?”

Dr. Wagner glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. He knew Peter wanted answers, but deep down, he wasn’t ready to overwhelm him with everything he was missing.

“Dr. Wagner, right?”

“Yes, Mr. Palmer, what is it?”

“I want to talk to someone.”

“I understand. Do you want to see your wife, your brother, or your son?”

“No! You can’t even tell me what’s going on, and now you’re saying I have a wife, a son, and that I talk to my brother? That sounds even more ridiculous than anything I could have imagined.”

“I want Marcus Bartz! Call him!”

“Mr. Palmer, I know this is all very confusing, especially since I haven’t explained everything yet, but please, I need you to be patient…”

“Dr. Wagner, patience, patience—I’ve been patient, and I still haven’t gotten any answers. I need to talk to my friend Bartz. Who the hell do I need to ask to make that happen?”

Dr. Wagner was trying to figure out how to handle the situation. He had known that memory loss was a possibility, but he hadn’t expected Peter to be stuck in a specific time period. Honestly, he had no logical explanation for what was happening—at least, not one that he could give the family right now.

Meanwhile, Peter kept insisting on speaking only to Marcus Bartz, the only person he remembered as family and the only one he trusted. His memories stopped a few months before he met Mary and took her into his home. He had no recollection of Mary, and as for Celeste—it was as if she had never existed.

While Dr. Wagner continued running the necessary tests, Maximus and Alden arrived at the hospital almost simultaneously. Celeste had already filled them in, leaving Alden no choice but to call his father-in-law.

“Pick up, pick up, pick up…”
