FreeGoodNovelChapter 0718 Maximus and Peter entered Dr. Hill's office. The doctor felt a sense of relief when she saw the two brothers. She knew Peter's situation was anything but simple, and though she had her doubts, she was genuinely interested in studying his case. He had been through so much, it was hard to believe he was still standing.
"Welcome, Mr. Palmer! How are you feeling today?" she asked warmly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Hello, Dr. Hill. I'm fine... calm, I suppose," Peter replied.
"Dr. Hill, don't believe him," Maximus interjected. "This man needs urgent help. He had a few episodes while he was away, and the last one-he doesn't even remember it.
"Maximus!" Peter snapped.
"Brother, if you want help, you have to be honest. If you're just going to shut yourself off, how do you expect to make any progress? Do it for Celeste. Even if you don't mention her, I know you're doing this for her." Peter turned to look out the window, avoiding his brother's gaze. He didn't like how Maximus had started to read him so well. Since their mother's death, they had drifted apart, at least until now, when Maximus was sticking to him like glue.
"Mr. Palmer, your brother has a point. You need to open up and be truthful, or we'll be working blind. I know what we're trying here isn't fully proven, but we're going to give it our best shot to help you regain balance between your past and present." "I'm aware of the surgery you need. Dr. Wágner has shared your extensive file with me, and I know it's not an easy decision. But you'll need to go through with it. For now, though, let's focus on what we can work on here. Does that sound alright?" "I understand, Dr. Hill. I'll do everything I can to make this work, I promise," Peter replied, his tone firm. "Good, Mr. Palmer. That's the attitude I like to hear." She turned to Maximus. "From this point on, I need you to leave him in my hands. Believe me, he'll be in good care, and I'll notify you if anything comes up." "Can I have a moment alone with him first?" Maximus asked.
"Of course. I'll step out and check on his room to make sure it's ready." Once Dr. Hill left the office, both brothers stood. Maximus placed his hands on Peter's shoulders and said, "Focus on this, Peter. Don't worry about anything else. Forget about Marcus, Frank-none of that matters right now. I appreciate you tellingwhere the kids are. I've already sent smen to look after them. Just focus on yourself, brother." "I only have one request," Peter said.

"Maximus!" Peter shot back, exasperated.
"Relax! I'll take care of you, your kids, and your wife. Don't worry about her. If your decision is to keep her in the dark, we'll respect that. But if I ever feel it's necessary, I'll talk to her myself."
"Thanks, Maximus. If you need anything, you can count on Theodore. I know you don't trust him, but for we you hdoN've lived with him for twenty years, and he's family tonow. I know our past is complicated, but he's not a bad +25 BONUS Chapter 0718 man. He loves my kids and would do anything for them."
"Don't worry about it, Peter. Like you said, I'm a big boy've been taking care of myself my whole life. And as for Frank... he has no idea who he's dealing with. I've been polite because of family ties, but I won't stay that way. If he tries to mess with the most sacred thing I have-my kids and my granddaughter-he won't know what hit him."
The brothers spoke from the heart, embraced, and said their goodbyes. Maximus felt a deep heaviness in his chest, like the feeling he got when'ne had to watch his kids leave. But he knew Peter would be safe here. He was also painfully aware of his brother's fear-fear of facing who he really was and confronting what he didn't want to admit. But if he didn't, things could spiral out of control
