My Dreamy Old Husband

After Linus finished eating, he returned to his workshop where he spent some time in his own thoughts. At midnight, he got up abruptly and went to Villa No. 8.

Since he had the entry card to the place, and his fingerprint was also recorded, he was able to enter the house easily. Going down to the basement, he found Quinton who was not yet asleep either.

How could he have fallen asleep like this?

Linus grabbed a chair and sat down in front of Quinton with the glass between them.

The two locked eyes and neither said a word for several minutes.

Another few minutes passed before Linus softened his gaze and let out a sigh. “You used to study medicine. Why don’t you try to find a way? I don’t want Sophia to be alone in the future, nor do I want to see Carmen lose her father.”

Quinton ruffled his disheveled hair. His face, which was very similar to Theo’s, revealed the weariness of a turbulent life.

He was silent for a long time, then he finally spoke. “I was told that when my biological father passed away, he had suffered injuries that were past the point of saving. Before he passed away, though, the hospital wanted to freeze his body and send him back to Bayside City so he could be saved when better medical equipment existed. But, because local technology was not well-developed at the time, the freezing failed, and my father never made it back.”

A realization dawned on Linus. With a glimmer in his eyes, he prompted, “Are you saying we should freeze Michael now, then take him out later when we find a cure?”

This method was probably the best solution for Michael right now. They could freeze his body to preserve its current physical condition, then take him out later when they had more developed technology.

Quinton went on. “To my understanding, many influential people now choose to freeze themselves when they’re at the brink of death with the hope that they can be brought back to life when technological advancements permit it. I assume you’re also aware of this.”

Undoubtedly, Linus knew about this technology. The demand for freezing bodies among aristocrats was getting larger. Many of them had lived a life of glory and wealth, and were not willing to let it end so quickly. They wanted to prolong their lives over many more generations. In part due to its necessity in space exploration, the technology for low-temperature dormancy used in freezing bodies was being developed rapidly. This technology was known as cryopreservation.

Standing up abruptly, Linus turned around and started to leave with haste. Just then, Quinton called from behind, “Hey, I have something for your dad. He is definitely going to like it.”

“What is it?”

Linus felt perplexed as he turned back around. After Quinton was captured and taken there, he was stripped of his clothes and was only given an undershirt to wear.

Lifting the corner of his shirt, he removed the plaster that was attached to his waist and revealed a QR code that had been tattooed into his skin.

“What is that?”
