My Dreamy Old Husband

Fate was unpredictable; Cooper certainly did not think that he’d have to go through a separation like this twice in this lifetime.

Cade’s condition had taken a turn for the worse. There were no medical treatments or procedures that had proven effective thus far, and since GvHD was a rare disease, there was only a 0.01% risk of anyone developing it, but when they did, it was almost always fatal.

Cooper tried to comfort himself. He had money, and he would invest billions into research and development if it meant he could come up with a miracle cure.

He didn’t mind investing any amount of money if it meant he could save his son.

In the meantime, Cade had arrived in Africa, whereupon he would be put to cryogenic sleep.

It was uncertain as to what lay ahead of him.

No one could tell what would happen after the cryopreservation. It would be ideal if he turned out to be the second Theo Fletcher, who had been put into a thirty-year-long cryogenic sleep, thereafter resurrected once they’d achieved technological advancement. Theo was living his best life now, and he experienced no side effects following the cryopreservation.

But what was considered to be an ideal situation was now only wishful thinking.

Upon hearing the news, Sophia and Linus flew over to Africa.

They were surprised to find out that Callum and Cade were also Cooper’s biological children. In retrospect, Sophia understood why she could never hate the both of them, even though they’d stolen her baby alpaca and refused to return it.

The family was now gathered in Michel Town in Africa.

Sophia, Linus, Michael, and Carmen were all there, and they’d brought Louis along with them.

This was the first time that Louis learned the truth behind Anna’s past, and along with that knowledge, he learned that Anna had another set of twins—a boy and a girl. However, he also discovered that Cade was about to be put into cryogenic sleep.

Louis had further been informed that Cade’s condition was deteriorating, and it seemed that nothing could stop it from worsening. All medical treatments proved futile, and in the absence of a miracle drug, Cade didn’t have much time left. Cryopreservation was the only way to buy him time while they looked for a cure.

Despair hung thick in the air as everyone staked out a spot in the treatment room.
