My Dreamy Old Husband

Aiden clutched at his head and repeated the same words. “Have mercy on me! I don’t know what’s going on either! I handed the body over to them myself! I don’t know anything else!”

Sophia knew that he was lying. Looking at the needle scars on his arms, she immediately had an idea. Soon, Roger brought some items over and placed them in front of Aiden. Upon seeing those items, Aiden screamed like a banshee. It was his life’s blood—heroin.

He was a drug addict that had been injecting heroin for years. When the addiction of a drug addict flared up, they were willing to say anything. Sure enough; he spilled everything. It turned out that he had just dug up Annabel’s corpse on that fateful night twenty years ago when he met a man before he could even step out of the cemetery. That person bought her corpse and paid 10,000 for it. 10,000 was an incredibly large amount of money at the time. Thus, he happily sold off her corpse and dug up another random female corpse nearby for the family at the hospital.

Not knowing where her body was now, he casually led them to the female corpse he sold off previously. At first, he assumed that he could fool them since all that was left after twenty years was a pile of bones. He did not expect them to be so technologically adept that they could determine whether it was Annabel just by matching her DNA.

The drug Aiden craved so much was placed right in front of him, but he couldn’t enjoy it. Hence, he was so anxious that he looked like he was willing to sell his soul for it. No matter what questions they asked him, he answered without fail. “I don’t know him. By the time I finished digging, he was already there when I turned around. I nearly died of fright when he appeared at the grave in the middle of the night like that! But, I really don’t know him! Besides, it has been twenty years, and it was very dark at the time. I don’t know anything else… Please give it to me! Just let me take it… Just a little bit…”

and she felt a chill in her heart. How I wish I could kick him to death! There was nothing else for her to learn from him. It was dark that night, and he

all, Annabel passed away on the day she was born. For that reason, she was still much calmer than he was at the moment, even though she, too, was filled with sorrow and rage. “Dad, I heard from Aiden that he sneaked out to the grave in the middle of the night and dug up Mom’s body. As soon as he finished digging, he turned around and saw the person that offered to buy her corpse for 10,000. I don’t believe an ordinary person would show up in a cemetery in the middle of the night, much less carry 10,000 around with them. Plus, who would go out of their way to buy a corpse for 10,000? I’m guessing that that person might be an acquaintance of Mom’s or somebody sent there by an acquaintance. Moreover, they were there specifically to take her body away. Even if Aiden didn’t make the first move, that person would have done the same. It just so happened that Aiden was one step ahead.” Lightly shaking Cooper, who was about to faint, she asked, “Dad, think back carefully. Back then, who, among Mom’s acquaintances, could afford to spend 10,000 and might

trying to recall everything he knew about Annabel in his memories. In the end, he shook his head. He actually knew little about Annabel. When he first met her, they were both very young—they were only 16. They had gotten to know each other and fallen in love in their ignorance. As a result, he had never met her family nor visited her house before despite knowing about her family circumstances. Not to mention, their

middle school and came to the city to look for work. Thus, she became one of Crimson House’s earliest employees. The restaurant was located near the university. Since Cooper and Sam were very close friends, Cooper often went there to eat. At the time, she was a fair and slender beauty—she was the prettiest member of the serving staff, as
