My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1258

If they failed to come up with a solution to treat Michael, he would only have two options—either be cryopreserved or wait for his death.

He once thought of staying beside Sophia in the last few years of his life but wouldn’t that be too cruel to Sophia?

She would have to send him off and watch as her beloved one slowly died from an incurable illness. If she had to go through that, she would live in the deepest abyss for the rest of her life.

Or should he ask her to wait?

For ten years, or a hundred years? Her precious life and her youth should bloom like a stunning flower but she would only wither in the endless waiting.

Regardless of what he chose, it would be too cruel to her.

But if her loving husband suddenly had an affair just like how Richard did in the past, who suddenly abandoned her for another woman, she would stay strong and overcome it.

She knew that a jerk wasn’t worth her sadness.

She would grow stronger and get a grip of herself. Not only would she work harder and earn more money, but she would also take good care of Carmen and find a man who was better than her father to marry him.

On the other hand, Michael would only need to disappear from her world and she would gradually forget him. By that time, he would just be an insignificant ex-boyfriend.

Then, he could die off slowly while she continued to live happily. Even better, another perfect man would love her on his behalf.

Michael bowed his head while tears trickled down his face. He felt desperate and helpless.

Looking at him, Theo understood his sadness and despair but there was nothing he could do.

“Son, it’s your life, so you have to make your own decision.”

After saying that, Theo walked away without looking back.

He didn’t go back to Cethos and Claude came to fetch him. After all, the African Peacekeeping Force was where he felt like he was home.

Cooper knew about their brief conversation and he had long been wanting to tell Michael the same thing too. He had felt that it would be too heartless for him to say that. Fortunately, Theo took the responsibility to tell him and it served as a reminder to Michael.

Actually, everyone knew the best solution was to separate them as soon as possible.

It would be the best situation for everyone if they broke up, or more precisely, it would be the best for Sophia.

As for Michael, he could wait for his death somewhere else.

Although that was too heartless and cruel, Cooper didn’t want Sophia to live the rest of her life in sorrow. Though, Michael was a perfect match for her.

Yet, it was still better to suffer now rather than prolong the agony.

Sophia still wasn’t aware of what had happened and was bringing Carmen and Albert to see the lion that she was rearing in the park here in Africa.

Initially, she planned to stay in Africa for a few days but unexpectedly, Alice called her.

The Michel Family’s Elders Council was on the way here to force Cooper to marry Tiffany.

On top of that, they wanted to bring Carmen back to their hometown so that she could return to the family and change her surname.

Cooper wasn’t willing to deal with the Elders Council at the moment. He had gone through the list of spies that Anna gave him and was busy planning how to eliminate the spies.

Undeniably, Jordan was great in keeping secrets. Even he and Linus didn’t suspect that some of the people on the list were spies. It seemed like Jordan had been monitoring Michel Group for a long time.

Unfortunately, Cooper wouldn’t allow things to go as he planned.

Everyone only stayed here for two days before leaving hastily. Theo didn’t go back with them and Quinton didn’t find out about Theo either.

Through Theo’s resurrection, everyone realized the possibility and significance of cryopreserving. Undeniably, it had great potential, but it was a gamble since one had to freeze his life at one moment and resume it many years later. There were too many uncertainties in between.
