My Dreamy Old Husband

That man was Aiden Johnson. Previously, Sophia had seen a photo of him at the Johnson Residence. He had wretched and shrewd inverted triangular eyes. His body was so skinny that he was all bones and skin. On the back of his hands were various needle scars of unknown origins. His entire body had a deathlike pallor, and his back was hunched. He didn’t look human but more like a ghost.

Cooper could not believe that Annabel had a brother like him. As the saying went ‘spare the rod and spoil the child’. Back then, Annabel sacrificed her chance to study and went to work instead. It was so that she could earn enough money to allow her two elder brothers to continue their studies. In the end, one molested a child while the other stole a corpse. How tragic it was for her to be born into such a family!

Aiden collapsed to the ground in horror. Before he could react to anything, a large hand reached toward him from above and fiercely grabbed him by the neck. A man looked down at him condescendingly. “Tell me Anna’s whereabouts in a single sentence. If you dare to lie, I will crush your throat!”

Despite struggling like a monkey, Aiden was unable to break free of Cooper’s grip. Cooper was wearing gloves. He exerted force, squeezing Aiden’s hand so strongly that he broke his hand. Thus, Aiden let out a hoarse scream, trembling in fear. “Have mercy! I was wrong! I did it! I dug her up! Have mercy on me! I won’t dare to do it again!”

After the severe beating, Aiden wept as he confessed. When Annabel breathed her last, the hospital asked them if they were willing to sell her corpse for money. A young lady’s corpse was worth 1000 back then. That was a lot of money! At the time, Mr. Johnson, Liam, and Aiden agreed to sell her corpse for money, hoping to have some use for their garbage. To their surprise, Mrs. Johnson invited Annabel’s grandfather over, threatened the buyer in front of everybody, and chased the buyer away. In the end, the corpse was not sold. However, Aiden couldn’t forget about the money. On the night Annabel was buried, he stealthily dug her corpse back up and sold her body to the hospital that offered to buy her in the first place.

“That buyer… His son was about to be buried after dying in a car accident that day. But, he was not married, and his family was worried that he might haunt them after his death…” Aiden begged for mercy with tears and snot flowing down his face, prostrating himself before them.

It was easier to search for the family, as they might have left traces behind, compared to searching for Cooper’s long-lost son.
