My Dreamy Old Husband

But no matter what… Lucy was Michael’s ex-girlfriend after all. He couldn’t bring himself to treat her harshly because of how similar she looked to Elizabeth. She seemed to be a living shadow of Elizabeth. With her around, Michael felt relieved, as if Elizabeth were still alive. Hence, he couldn’t bring himself to destroy this mirage.

However, reality was cruel—she was Jordan’s daughter, so she would side with him naturally. While holding the phone in his hand, he said, “What will come, will come. Don’t get too caught up on this.”

Sophia seemed to heave a long, unhappy sigh. “Nothing is perfect in this world indeed!” Then, she turned her back to Michael and spoke. “Dear, scrub my back for me.”

While holding the phone in one of his hands, he used the other to scrub her back. The scars left behind from her rotten flesh because of Virs-18 were still there. On top of that, much of the skin on her face was transplanted from her back. Hence, she had many scars on her back. She was very careful when she wore outfits that would reveal her back, for fear that the scars would be revealed. There were also some scars on her waist that were left behind from giving birth to Carmen.

While gently stroking these scars, the skin beneath his fingers seemed like the growth ring of a tree, recording all the hardships she had been through all these years. It was simply unfortunate that he wasn’t by her side when she was most helpless and desperate.

Michael leaned forward and kissed her wet back. Then, he hugged her from behind, as if he was hugging an invaluable treasure. If there’s a next life, are you willing to wait for me there?

Michael knew his health condition very well—the virus in his body had been corroding his internal organs and his bones. It would be better for him to enter cryogenic sleep earlier, but he simply couldn’t bear to part with her. He couldn’t bear to leave Sophia, Carmen, Celine, and this entire family…

Since they hadn’t fully utilized the 10-minutes talk time, Sophia continued to speak her mind. “Do you think that Sean has completely given up on Stanley this time around? Is my mom using my dad? I’m so worried for him!”

“You have nothing
