My Dreamy Old Husband

Sophia headed to the cosmetic hospital to have the doctors there take a look at her. Sure enough, it was the best facility in the world for her to recover from her scars. After her appointment, they said that they would do their best, but there was a problem only which Cethos had—the new year was around the corner.

All the slots for surgeries were fully booked and the doctors had applied for their annual leaves to return home for their family reunion. The fastest that they could arrange for her was after the new year celebrations.

Once they agreed on a date for the surgery, Cooper left with Sophia.

When she passed by the waiting area, she heard a nurse calling out. “Sarah West. Is Sarah West here? You can have the treatment to remove your stretch marks now.”

As Sophia’s operation was scheduled to be after the new year, she needed to stay in Cethos for another month. If they stayed in a hotel, she would be bored, so Linus offered his property in Bayside City that was conveniently located near amenities and tourist spots while being located next to the ancient Imperial Palace. On top of that, it was within a close distance to the hospital, so she could stay there with him and Cooper. Linus had already arranged for people to tidy the place up.

As soon as she heard that it was situated next to the ancient Imperial Palace, she was excited to head there.

Since the ancient Imperial Palace museum was about to close for the new year celebrations, she had to quickly make a visit.

Hence, they moved out from the hotel to the property that Linus owned—Villa No. 2 at the Imperial.

Even though he had left for many years, the mansion was always under his name. Throughout the years, the price of the properties in that area had significantly increased in value, especially since the Imperial was located right below the ancient Imperial Palace. Furthermore, it was close to the elite schools, which caused the property prices to skyrocket to the point where even he felt a chill down his spine.

Around five years ago, when Michael had bequeathed the villa to him, it only cost 120 million. However, its current value rose to billions due to the real estate transactions at the Imperial. You really can’t predict anything with the properties of Bayside City.

As the car spun around the ancient Imperial Palace, Sophia still acted like a countrywoman who came to the city for the first time. Impressed by what she saw, she exclaimed, “Wow! What beautiful architecture! Dad, uncle, look! It’s beautiful!”

Cooper remained indifferent throughout the entire journey as he felt that Linus deliberately offered to host them in his property. After all, Michael also lived at the Imperial.

However, after knowing that Linus had a mansion with convenient amenities, she insisted on staying there for a few days.
