My Dreamy Old Husband

All the evidence pointed toward Sophia. Everybody was saying that she had pushed Irene, her husband’s ex-girlfriend, down the stairs. Moreover, some people on the internet even claimed that they heard a fierce dispute between the two of them, followed by Irene falling down the stairs.

Even Stanley felt a little skeptical. Using his elbow to nudge Sophia, he asked in a whisper, “Aunt, was it you?”

Sophia was in no mood to argue; she was feeling very depressed. Even if the entire world wronged her, it was enough if Michael believed in her. However, she was afraid that even Michael didn’t believe in her right now…

There was only one bed inside the hospital ward. Irene lay on the bed, weeping. She was hooked up on an intravenous drip. Her pale face was wet with tears and her frail body trembled as she sobbed.

The soft and gentle way she called out the name ‘Mikey’ brought back fond memories from many years back. However, Michael’s heart was cold and calm.

Looking at him, her eyes sparkled with tears. “Mikey, Mikey…” Her expression was both joyous and tearful as she said, “You’re finally here! You’re finally here! They said that I hit my head when I fell and had amnesia. They claim that it’s 201X now. They’re lying, right? It’s only 200X, right?”

It was also the year Nathan was born. Nathan will be 9 years old next year… Back then, the doctor said that Irene had hit her head, and a blood clot formed in her brain. That was why she suffered from amnesia. The fall this time around was a blessing in disguise—she had regained her memories. However, she had just awoken and her memories were a chaotic mess. At present, she could only remember the events from eight years ago. She had forgotten everything that had happened during the last eight years.

Since Nathan had lost his parents and Michael was feeling lost, he quickly made Irene and Michael marry each other. Not only would it give Michael a reason to live, but it would also give Nathan a proper family again. As Irene was part of the army, she was required to file a marriage application. The day before she submitted the application, she had gotten into
