My Dreamy Old Husband

“That was when you were just rescued and the doctor said that you wouldn’t be able to make it. Fass cried outside the ward for an entire day and said that he would do anything to save you. When the doctor said that you couldn’t survive for more than two days, he didn’t even dare to blink for the fear that you would be gone.” A lump formed in Linus’ throat as he spoke.

On the other side of the door, Sophia did not feel good either. She hugged her knees close to her chest as she sat behind the door, staring at the ground as tears rolled down from her cheeks.

He sobbed for a while before he continued, “When Fass saw you being tied up on the pillar and drenched in gasoline as you awaited death as well as Carmen being dragged to the balcony on the tenth floor by others and about to fall to her death at any time, do you know how angry… and how sad he was? Sophia, losing your mother was the most painful experience in Fass’ life. He wouldn’t be able to endure the pain if anything happens to you. You are now an adult and a mother yourself. So, you should know very well that he won’t hurt you.”

With that, both of them remained silent for some time. Then, he broke the silence. “How about this? I have an idea—Fass and I will settle Quinton’s side for you and end this cancerous relationship once and for all while you listen to us this time and sever all ties with both brothers. Is that okay? Carmen will still be with you and we will stop communicating with their family. Can you accept this? If you agree, knock twice on the door. Otherwise, just knock once.”

At the research center, Celine had committed suicide once again. Her wrist, which had stopped bleeding only moments ago, had been slit by her again. Blood in the color of a red flower oozed down her hand. Once she woke up, she could not face herself at all. As soon as she closed her eyes, she had flashbacks of her pushing Carmen, who was crying loudly, to the balcony on the tenth floor without any railings. Celine saw herself aiming the gun at her husband and her son. When the shot rang, she saw the shock and pain in Nathan’s eyes. She could not find any peace in herself and she could barely wait to end her life.

Michael stayed at the research center, taking turns with Justin to keep an eye on Celine. They were worried that if they did not pay attention for a second, she would find an opportunity to kill herself. After all, she was an experienced assassin!

After enduring all of the trouble until midnight, Celine finally fell asleep after being injected with tranquilizer. However, it was not something that could be given to her all the time because her body was unable to endure the effects. A physically and mentally exhausted Michael sat on the floor in despair. Without Quinton, Celine could not be saved. Yet, he refused to spill the beans—no matter how hard they tried to torture him—since he believed he could pull through. It was impossible for Michael to give up on his only sister and Justin could not bear to do that as well. However, Michael was unable to convince himself to allow Sophia to face Quinton again.
