[Silverstone Clinic]"Mr. Palmer, after the series of studies we've conducted, we can indeed observe that the static field we had has begun to show movement. See for yourself; the study on this side shows how this field looked 20 years ago, and then this one from 10 years ago. Although it's very sli
Peter started walking down the same hallway he had come through. He quickly arrived at Celeste’s room. She was still asleep, but as he sat on the sofa beside her bed, she seemed to feel his gaze and slowly began to wake up.“Pe... Peter, what time did you get here?” she asked, her voice groggy.“Not
[Marcus Bartz]Marcus froze the moment he saw Peter at the same hospital. It felt as though fate itself was going out of its way to ensure Valerie and Peter would cross paths again. He knew it was only a matter of time before they inevitably met, but the real question wasn’t when—it was how his wife
Peter embraced Celeste and kissed her forehead. Inside, a quiet conflict still simmered, but he knew he had to let it go. He couldn’t turn back time to his life with Mary. Their paths had diverged 12 years ago, a decision he had made himself. There was no point in reopening old wounds. He didn’t wan
As Celeste slept, Peter’s thoughts drifted to a conversation he once had with Theodore during his recovery. In that conversation, Theodore had laid out their shared past, explaining the nature of their relationship before the accident and the intricate web of their mutual dealings. Over time, as tru
Laura’s life had changed drastically in the two months since she transferred to Clearmount College. She had started dating Adrian, and Maximus had made several attempts to meet the young man who was courting his daughter. But fate—or excuses—kept getting in the way. When Maximus was available, Adria
“Laura,” Fred said gently, “everything seems fine so far. I believe this could just be stress from the change in schools or environment. But I do need to ask you a more delicate, personal question. You’re free to answer or not—it’s entirely up to you.”“Laura, at what age did your period start?” Fre
Maximus felt a surge of fury spread through him like wildfire. He wanted to strangle the boy—Adrian, that foolish, reckless boy. He wanted to scream. Laura, his little girl, his baby, the child he had only recently accepted as his own, was no longer a child. She was a woman, and most likely, she was
After Ethan gave a masterclass on how to hold a baby, it was the grandparents' turn. Marcus, not wasting a second, held little Isabelle in his arms. The moment he looked at her, he knew—she was the spitting image of his daughter, the same baby girl he had met just over two years ago. "Hello, prince
After finally finishing all the paperwork and preparations for the creation of PBE Group, Maximus and Peter drove from Florentia to Valeria. Both men were determined to get there—after all, their daughter, so to speak, had just given birth, and it was essential to meet the family's first granddaught
A couple of hours after that awkward conversation, Alden, Serenity, Isabelle, and Laura were on their way home. After all the advice from the OB-GYN and the pediatrician, the new little family was finally heading back.Serenity was filled with mixed emotions. In her arms, she held her baby—yes, her
The next day, Serenity had her check-up. Little Isabelle stared intently at her mother, those big, beautiful eyes locked onto her face. Serenity couldn't stop admiring her.She was completely in love with the tiny angel in her arms. Looking at her, she couldn't help but remember how she and the man
They barely made it to the car before they were already pulling up to the place where Adrian was now living. When they arrived, Laura was surprised by the location. It wasn't bad, exactly—just not the kind of place she could ever picture Adrian choosing for himself.It made her think his financial s
"Is it far from here?" Laura asked, a bit concerned."Not really. I could actually walk, but honestly, with the crutches, it's kind of uncomfortable—and risky.""If you wait for me, I'll say goodbye to my sister and give you a ride. I'm guessing it's on the way, so...""No! No, you came to see your
"Well, Laura, things aren't that simple... but I'll figure something out. And with all this, what are you doing at the hospital? Who's taking care of Adele? Is something wrong? Is someone in your family here? Are you okay?""Wow... That's a lot of questions. But yeah, everything's fine. Emma's watch
At the hospital cafeteria, after Laura decided to stay a bit longer, she and Celeste were walking toward the room where Serenity was. As they passed by one of the consultation rooms, Laura came face to face with Adrian.She was surprised to see him. The young man was on crutches, his left foot in a
After almost four hours on the road—where Alden's driver wasn't so much driving as flying—he finally arrived. He didn't even wait for the car to park. As soon as he saw the hospital, he jumped out and ran inside.Alden was sprinting down the hallway looking for the room number, his heart pounding in
