My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1256

Everyone looked at each other before averting their gazes to Joel. Simultaneously, a politically incorrect thought formed in their minds.

Saving him had actually hurt him!

Perhaps it would have been best for him to die 30 years ago.

Elizabeth gave up her life to meet him again on the other side. Yet, he hid himself in a place secretly, causing her to come away empty handed.

However, that wasn’t his fault. It was their bitter fate.

Under everyone’s complicated gaze, Joel’s hair stood on end.

He was desperate too, but he couldn’t possibly shoot Theo so that he could reunite with Elizabeth on the other side, could he?

Since he was still alive, it would be a murder!

Besides, the current surgical technology had saved him. Therefore, he was a living being!

Not only didn’t Joel have the guts to be a murderer, but the entire Fletcher Family didn’t dare to bear the responsibility either. Therefore, Joel had placed his last hope on that hospital.

Since Theo had only less than one third possibility of surviving, Joel wouldn’t be held accountable if heaven took Theo’s life.

Yet, heaven didn’t take his life.

It was snowing outside again but Theo didn’t feel like moving.

Suddenly, he stood up and stared at the fluttering snow from the sky while mumbling to himself, “After I woke up, they told me that I’ve been asleep for many years. I thought that they meant only a few years…”

He even thought that Elizabeth was still waiting for him.

Unexpectedly, it had been 30 years and Elizabeth was long gone.

He lifted his head and looked up at the sky, a layer of snow on his eyelashes. After being in a coma for over 30 years, he still looked the same. In fact, he looked even younger, but his eyes showed that he had experienced the vicissitudes of life.

Extending his hand, he caught a snowflake, which then melted in his palm. He exhaled and there was no expression on his face, but his eyes were dim and desolate.

He continued mumbling, “I wonder what she did when she couldn’t find me in that world.”

Behind him, Michael couldn’t even speak a word while tears gushed out of his eyes.

He hated Theo and wished that he could strangle him to death, which might help him end his torture of being in living hell so that he could accompany Elizabeth.

But he was his father!

Michael knew very well that he had to follow Theo’s footsteps sooner or later.

The toxin had penetrated into his bones and was slowly corroding his organs. With the current medical technology, he could only inject medicines to detoxify it and slowly nurse his body to slow down the spread of the toxin. Yet, his body was hanging on a thread which could be broken anytime.

Justin and Linus had urged him several times to undergo cryopreservation as soon as possible because his body was still functioning and it might recover earlier and faster. If his body was cryopreserved later on after it was completely destroyed, they might need to wait for a long time, at least until the medical technology had advanced to a stage where he could be treated. Before that, he could only wait in his deep sleep.

How long would they have to wait?

It was uncertain. Perhaps a month. Perhaps a decade.

Or he might be the same as Theo. When he woke up, Sophia might have already grown old, or she might even have passed away in loneliness while spending her whole life waiting for him to wake up.

He could imagine how she would hold onto the slim hope and bitterly waited for him to wake up, only for her to grow old and die before her dream came true.

The mere thought of it made him feel like he was an unforgivable sinner.

Because of Theo’s sudden resurrection, the entire Fletcher Family sank into a weird atmosphere.

Although Theo survived, he seemed more like a walking dead. His soul had probably already left with Elizabeth a long time ago.
