In his own house, Nathan drank with them one last time. Everyone raised their glasses but none felt the past joy when they came over, even though this was Nathan's most generous occasion, he brought out all the best quality wine that he could not bear to drink from the cellar. While holding the glass, Nathan looked at the people around him, they had known each other for almost three decades. There was William who competed with him from a young age, Anthony who changed his entire life, Johnathan who worked with him for many years, both Kyle and Samuel, who had strived hard alongside him, and many others. Looking back at the past, everything is like a dream. It's so surreal. "Everyone, it's my honor to meet all of you in this lifetime. Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses but a heavy feeling and forced happiness loomed over all of them. He can actually... What a pity! After they finished drinking, everyone left with a depressed feeling. Before they left, they saw Hilda burying
Nathan took a small box that he prepared, it was a present for Hilda, Lily, and Luna. He gave Luna a lipstick. Even though it could not be used after it was dug out, he felt that as a father, he should give his daughter something symbolic. He also gave Lily some knick knacks, but he left a letter for Hilda. He could not bear to leave without explaining everything. He was also worried that Hilda might resent him for not bidding farewell, or that she might lose confidence in all men because of his lie. Hence, he wrote a letter to tell her that he loved her very much. Even when he passed, he was full of her love. Nathan hoped that she would live a happy life when he was not around and he did not want her to waste her precious time on him. He also wanted to tell his children that he loved them a lot. No matter if it was Luna, whom he brought back from Africa and raised, or it was the pair of twins whom he did not get a chance to name, he loved them equally. He did not hate anyone a
A few days ago, Johnathan told her about everything. It was only at that moment that Hilda realized Nathan was dying. Everyone knew about it but they had hidden it from her. This was also Nathan's wish, he wanted to leave peacefully and he did not want Hilda to wait for him, so he refused to enter cryogenic sleep. Damian supported his decision. Connie too did not stop him, as she did not want her daughter to wait for a man who was half dead for the rest of her life. Hence, it was Nathan's final wish to leave peacefully and with dignity. However, Hilda 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 Johnathan, she suggested the trip to Africa and when Nathan 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 Jordan Castle. I can't let him die! Hilda choked on her sobs
In the end, Nathan successfully entered the cryogenic sleep that would sustain his life. The situation of his health would remain the same until they could find a way to cure him. Once they did so, he would be woken up from his sleep for him to start the treatment. However, the future held too many uncertainties, the technology for cryogenic sleep was still in its infancy stage. Even though the field had been researched by a few groups decades ago, the majority had failed. So far, only Jeremi was the successful case, though he only entered cryogenic sleep for a short period of time. If the cryogenic sleep failed or there was a huge change in the future, no one knew what could happen. After all, one was simply unable to predict the future. For those who experienced cryogenic sleep, it would be just a short and sweet dream. However, once they were awake, they would feel as though they had been detached from the entire world. They would reckon that they were transported to an unfamil
Anthony resigned from his teaching job at Taadi University even though he was promoted to a full time employee.He then joined Jordan Medical Group and devoted himself to a research project for organ regeneration.Hilda quickly delivered the twins through C section, it was fraternal twins. However, there was a shadow of her and Nathan in them.Unfortunately, he could not even take a look at them. Based on the previous agreement, one of them took the last name of 'Bowen' while the other carried the name 'Damien'.That decision was not to fight for both families' family fortunes, it was just that even though Connie and Jerome had four children, one was in cryogenic sleep while the other two were bachelors. The remaining child, Hilda, was the most 'productive' one as she gave birth to three children in two pregnancies.It was enough to repay everything they had done by naming the children with their last names.After giving birth, Hilda dived into her work. She continued working on her l
After five years, the drug for treating GVHD was finally developed. The moment he woke up from his cryogenic sleep, he found himself coming face to face after opening his eyes with Hilda and Jerome, who had bloodshot eyes. "Dad?" Milo, who had just woken up, was emaciated. After being in cryogenic sleep for such a long time, it was natural for the body to be especially frail. Hence, he needed a certain amount of time to recover before he could receive treatment. He looked at Jerome and Hilda before asking, "Dad, Hilda, hasn't the cryopreservation started?" From his point of view, he had merely lost consciousness temporarily, so he felt that he quickly woke up from his sleep. He did not realize that time was so cruel and elusive. It was not until he noticed the fine lines etched across Jerome's face as well as Hilda's longer hair and matured expression that he finally realized years had already passed. In the end, Milo was injected with the latest drug and his body made a swift re
In reality, she had a pair of usable corneas for a long time. They belonged to Gianna, but she had never used them. Two years ago, Gianna was involved in an accident and rejected cryopreservation moments before her death in the hospital. On top of that, she specifically donated her corneas to Hilda. In that way, even in death, Gianna would be able to use her eyes to look at Connie every day. Connie did not even respond even after learning about her accident. While holding onto her last breath in the hospital, she finally passed away when she received news that Connie and Hilda had agreed to accept her corneas. Nevertheless, Hilda had never used the pair of corneas. Instead, she returned them to Gianna's parents. However, Hilda accepted Anthony's corneas this time. After replacing her artificial corneas with the donated ones from him, she regarded her reflection in the mirror. She felt as though he was just beside her. I've long forgiven Anthony, but Nathan might not wake up fore
Toby quietly picked up the hoe to dig the spot that contained the buried time capsules. On the other side, Hilda's other two children were cheering him on. After Nathan had been placed into cryopreservation, Toby joined Bilinsk International to be involved in their administration. Surprisingly, after opening the time capsule, Hilda noticed that they did not smell as bad as she expected. No food was in Lily's time capsule, but there were many small gifts inside. There was a small present in Luna's time capsule too. However, Hilda also noticed that there was a letter in her time capsule. She stared at the yellowish envelope while looking at the words, 'Dear Wife, Hilda Adams', in a daze. Did Nathan put this in? Luna opened the present to see a broken lipstick inside and immediately burst into tears. Dad gave me this! When dad was placed under cryopreservation, I was only 6 years old and I'm already 16 now. My childhood memories are getting blurry now and I can't even recall the
