Chapter 0668 Maximus finally arrived at the hospital, walking towards Mary's room. Almost at the door, he ran into Camille, who, upon seeing him, tried to wipe away the tears rolling down her cheeks. She wanted to pretend like nothing was happening, but to Maximus, it was clear something was wrong.

"Valerie doesn't want to meet the babies, she rejects them. In her mind, all she can think about is that they are Marcus's children, and that Marcus is a murderer." "Camille, that's a misunderstanding, Frederick is working to get him out of there. But, you know, the media pressure has made it impossible to file for an injunction." "I understand, but she doesn't. She doesn't want to see the little ones, she wouldn't even breastfeed them. It broke my heart! Dr. Hill says Valerie is going through postpartum depression. She's been through a lot during her pregnancy and..." "And what?" "Along with the nervous breakdown and her history, everything has just gotten worse..." "Frederick toldthat Dr. Hill has agreed to treat Mary..." "Yes! She's coming to the hospital tomorrow to make a diagnosis. From there, it will depend on whether she is admitted immediately or if we can wait for her quarantine to finish.” "Do you think I can go in and see her?" "Only if she lets you. I've tried to go in, but she thinks I'm bringing the babies again, and she won't let me.” "Don't worry! She'll get through this. It's just a tough moment. She's strong, and you know that!" "Thank you, Maximus! I really appreciate that you care about her. Can you tellwhere my kids are? Serenity and John-if they cto see her, I'm sure it'll cheer her up to see them...” "Camille, I can't tell you where they are, but one thing is for sure: If Valerie rejects her babies, what makes you think she'll accept John? Right now, it's not a good tfor them to visit. We need to avoid causing her more distress. With the treatment she'll receive, I'm sure she'll be herself again soon..." "I hadn't thought of that, John is very much like Marcus...
"Right now, the babies can't experience their mother's rejection, but John can. So it's better not to create more conflicts and traumas, don't you think?" "You're right, Maximus... I hadn't seen it from that angle.
"Now, Camille, I'm going to try and see Mary. I hope she letsin. I'll only stay for a moment, but I don't want to leave without seeing her.
"Of course, go ahead!" Maximus knocked on the door, but when he didn't get a response, he opened it and stepped in. Upon entering, he found Mary, lost in the view from the window in her room, Valerie, upon seeing him, turned and smiled. "Hello, Maximus!" 12 +25 BONUS Chapter 0668 "Hello, Mary! How are you?

"Mary, I know you're not okay right now, but I want to remind you of something. The fact that you don't want to see him I hope, is due to the depression you're experiencing. Those babies are there, and they're not going to disappear just because you don't want to see them. They're yours, and yes, they're Marcus's too." "Do you know Marcus was a murderer?" "I can neither confirm nor deny that... That's something you need to talk to him about. What I can tell you is that your children are not responsible for who their father is, just like mine aren't responsible for who I chose as their mother. Did you know Alexia was the one who ordered my brother's murder?" "Yes..."
"Well... Just because of that, I'm not going to stop loving my children.
They're not to blame, they didn't ask world. Just to cinto this world. Just liken yours, they didn't ask to go through everything that's happening, but they're here. now, and you have to take responsibility. You'll receive help soon, but that doesn't absolve you from caring for them, loving them, and protecting them from any harm that may surround them." "Maximus..."
"Mary... A long tafter I found out what Alexia did, I wished that those children of mine were yours. I thought you would have been so happy by my side, but would have ve been' doesn't exist. What happened between us was a long tago, and it was very selfish ofto even imaging such things. So, I shook myself off and held on to my children. It doesn't matter who their mother is, they are my life, a part of me, and I can't deny them just because their mother was a bad woman."
