My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 1416

Cooper was silent for a moment. In his opinion, this was the safest course of action.

They will be separated because of a misunderstanding and Michael will become a man who betrays his wife. He’ll be gone and Sophia will hate him so much that she’ll take his wealth and his child, and Michael will be left with nothing. Then, she will become a rich divorced woman who will live with resentment toward Michael for a while. But in a few days, she might fall in love with a twenty year-old man and be together with him.

After a while, Sophia will break up with that young man and meet another one. She’ll completely forget about Michael, the old man who betrayed her. Decades later when Sophia turns eighty, Michael will wake up from his sleep and become a forty year-old ‘young man’. The misunderstanding between them will be resolved and they will be together.

However, that is just the ideal situation. Ideals are amazing but reality is often cruel. There is a heart- breaking case right in front of us—Tanya.

Her family died horribly, like they deserved. It was their punishment. The fact that she survived was a blessing from God. She could have let go of her resentment and start a new life, but she chose to take revenge.

She hated Theo, so she trained her son to become a brutal killer. But what did she get from a lifetime of resentment? All she did was hurt herself and the child she had with Theo. Quinton could have had a better and more brilliant life… Who knows which path Sophia might take after being ‘abandoned’ by Michael? Perhaps she will hate him forever. Or she might take revenge, kill someone and live a life full of hatred and pain from the separation. Sophia might turn into a soulless being, and it might even affect Carmen.

Thinking it from another perspective, if Michael dies one day, at least he’ll die in Sophia’s arms.

He’ll show Sophia that even in his last moments, all he thinks about is her. Michael’s love for her is accompanied by breath and blood. The moment he stops loving her is the moment he stops breathing and his blood turns cold.

Michael won’t be leaving. He’ll just accompany her in a different way. He’ll turn into the air around her, into the warm sunlight and gentle breeze. There will be traces of him everywhere she goes. Sophia will remember his love and live happily. Carmen will also grow up happily.

That is their perfect ending.

At that moment, Michael just wanted to be with Sophia and Carmen. Even if he didn’t have much time left, it didn’t matter as long as they were happy.

In the study, the two of them were silent. After a few rounds of tea, Michael said, “What about Tiffany’s child? Father-in-law, how are you planning to deal with her?”

An upset expression immediately appeared on Cooper’s face when he heard Tiffany’s name.

“Keep the child alive.”

These four words were enough to express Cooper’s attitude toward the matter.

Michael said nothing but he had mixed feelings…

The next day after everyone headed off to work, Michael went to the basement and asked Justin to give him an injection.

At that moment, his organs were starting to fail. The poison that Quinton gave him back then was gradually losing control and slowly eroding his internal organs. The antidote could only slow it temporarily.

There was also news from Linus that the molecular formula for the antidote was under animal testing and initial results showed that it was working. However, it couldn’t be used on humans. If the antidote could be used now, after the toxins were cleared and with recuperation, Michael could fully recover. However, he would still be weakened and he wouldn’t be able to live long.

For now, Michael had a few options.

He could sit and wait for death. Perhaps in a few years, his internal organs would completely shut down and he would die painfully.

The other option was to ask Theo or Quinton to donate their organs and he would change all of them. Michael would live a few more years, but Theo and Quinton might die.

The third option was to wait for the research team at Michel Medical Technology Group to have advances with the dental stem cells project that could repair and regenerate organs. However, Michael may not be able to wait that long.

The last option was to enter cryogenic sleep and wake up when everything was ready. It was the safest bet with the least risk.

However, Michael chose to sit and wait for death.

The tiny needle tip pierced into Michael’s skin and the antidote was injected into his blood, which temporarily relieved the poison inside him. However, the antidote was just something that could prolong his life a little longer. It could stop the pain but it wasn’t a cure.

At that instant, Justin had mixed feelings. After the injection, Michael pressed on the cotton to stop the bleeding and he looked at Justin. All of a sudden, he smiled and said, “It’s been an honor to have worked with you all these years.”

When Justin heard this, he felt that it sounded like Michael’s last words. He turned his face away. His mask covered half of his face, leaving only his eyes visible.

Michael looked at Justin and couldn’t help but sigh.

Actually, Justin is the one who had the hardest life. He joined the army when he was eighteen and back then, he was undefeatable and famous. Unfortunately, he was born in a family that didn’t support him. As the youngest child, he was asked by his parents to ‘hand over’ his lover to his big brother. When he was badly wounded and on the hospital bed, all he heard was his family discussing whether to stop his life support or not.

Later, Justin completely disappeared and became Abel. He abandoned his first and last name, and was busy with revenge day and night.

In order to get revenge, he forced himself to be strong with a superhuman will. Justin learned how to make poison, perform autopsy, dispose of bombs and many other professional skills. He could even do complex surgical operations on his own.

He lived just for revenge. However, he was considered to have a happy ending. Celine came back and he let go of the hatred. He even resolved everything with Quinton even though they bickered with each other all the time.

Justin then started his own company. Abel, who couldn’t be who he really was, suddenly turned into the president of the biggest security company in Bayside City. He made money to raise his children and his silly wife. He was now living a happy life.

The family that he was greatly disappointed in became great again and he took back the name that he abandoned.

His life was now perfect. The only thing that he was still worried about was probably Michael and Sophia.

Michael was Justin’s friend, confidant, family member, and best friend while Sophia was his sister and family.

Justin watched them get together and love each other, and he had also seen them part and reunite again. Now he had to watch them part again. Unfortunately, the hard work that he had done over the years still couldn’t change the situation around. He could only watch as Michael slowly turned weak.

Michael said, “Even though Asco International was established by Ethan and I, you have a lot of credit. I have already signed the papers. In the future, you’ll have some of the company’s shares.”

Justin’s face was stiff from all the plastic surgery he had done. With a blank expression, he said, “There will be a way. Don’t overthink things.”

Even though he was not as good as the Michel Group’s research and development team in medicine, he would not give up on Michael.

Michael pulled down his sleeves to cover his elbow that was full of needle marks while Justin cleaned up.

All of a sudden, Michael’s phone rang.

“Tiffany is here with Mr. Mitchell’s child. They are at the gates. Should I let them in?”
