My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 852

Chapter 0852

As soon as Maximus left the hospital room, Peter sank into his thoughts, trying to figure out what to do next. It was clear that his life had completely changed, and Maximus was right–whether he liked it or not, he was a father and a grandfather, And soon, he’d be a father again. There was also a woman waiting for him.

Without wasting time, he grabbed the phone on the table next to his bed and called Dr. Wagner, who arrived shortly after.

“Dr. Wagner, when the hell can I get out of here?”

“Mr. Palmer, you can leave whenever you decide to.”

“Then why the hell haven’t you let me out yet?”

“Well, we kept you under observation, but honestly, when we saw how overwhelmed you were with everything going on, we decided not to add to your stress. But if you feel ready to be home, I can discharge you under an open release, so you can come back anytime you need to.”

“You know what? Yeah, I need to go home. I want to hear the waves, smell the ocean, try to get my life back–or whatever my life is supposed to be.”

“Alright! If that’s what you want, I’ll call your son and start the discharge process.”

As soon as Dr. Wagner left the room, an unexpected visitor walked in.

“Peter Palmer, you’ve got more lives than a cat…”

“Who the hell are you?” Peter asked, his voice laced with confusion, though something about the man felt oddly familiar.

“What do you mean, who the hell am I?” the man replied sarcastically. “Theodore Bennett. Did your long nap make you forget I exist?”

Peter was speechless. He did remember Theodore–but younger. The man standing before him had clearly been through a lot over the years.

“It’s just… I remember you differently.”

“Nowadays, we’re business partners. And I’m also your friend.”

“Friend?”

“Who the hell do you think took care of you after the accident? Alden told me you lost your memory, but I didn’t think it was this bad.”

“You’re saying you looked after me after the accident?”

“Who else?”

“So… you can tell me about my life after it happened?”

Theodore looked at him, a bit conflicted. He had spoken with Alden, but Alden hadn’t explained the full extent of Peter’s memory loss. Still, when he saw the way Peter was looking at him–desperate for answers–he didn’t hesitate.

“I suppose… What do you want to know?”
