My Dreamy Old Husband

“Dear?”

Sophia nudged Michael a few times but there was no reply. He continued to sleep peacefully, as if he was dreaming happily; perhaps he was already together with Sophia in his dreams.

His dream might be so beautiful that he could not bear to wake up.

After making sure that he would not wake up for the time being, Sophia finally released the pain and despair she had been holding in for the past few days. Unable to hold back her tears anymore, they gushed out of her eyes. She tried to keep her sobs minimal so that she would not wake Carmen up.

A few days ago, Justin told her about everything.

It was only at that moment that Sophia realized Michael was dying. Everyone knew about it but they had hidden it from her.

This was also Michael’s wish—he wanted to leave peacefully and he did not want Sophia to wait for him, so he refused to enter cryogenic sleep.

Theo supported his decision. After all, he experienced the indescribable helplessness and despair after he woke up from his cryogenic sleep, so he did not want his son to follow in his footsteps.

Cooper too did not stop him, as he did not want his daughter to wait for a man who was half-dead for the rest of her life.

Hence, it was Michael’s final wish to leave peacefully and with dignity.

However, Sophia did not want this.

How can he be so selfish, leaving alone just like that?

I will not let him die!

Hence, she planned out the entire trip with Justin—she suggested the trip to Africa and when Michael boarded the plane, they would feed him sleeping pills for him to fall unconscious. After they landed, they would put him into cryogenic sleep right after they reached Michel Castle.

I can’t let him die!

Sophia choked on her sobs. After wiping her tears off, she quickly asked Justin to enter the room.
