Semua Bab He Got Blissfully Married While I Sank Beneath the Waves: Bab 21 - Bab 25

"Mr. Townsend, are you serious?" Andre, the lead at the cryogenics research group, exclaimed in disbelief. "You're actually requesting to undergo cryogenic freezing?"Murphy nodded calmly. "That's correct. And starting today, I'll be your largest investor. From now on, 10% of Townsend Group's annual revenue will be allocated to your cryogenics research center to support your work on developing thawing technologies."10% did not sound like much, but this was Townsend Group.The company's monthly net profits exceeded billions, making the contribution staggering."Mr. Townsend, we're truly grateful for your financial support," Andre said patiently. "But cryogenic technology is primarily intended for patients suffering from terminal illnesses—conditions like ALS, cancer, or multiple organ failure. These are diseases that modern medicine has no way to cure.Andre continued, "Many of these terminal patients are still young. Instead of slowly succumbing to their illnesses, they hope to s

"The countdown to thawing begins."The cold, mechanical voice of the electronic system echoed, causing everyone's hearts to tighten with anticipation."I heard the person being thawed this time is the major shareholder of our cryogenic base. Many of our research facilities and cryo-casket storage units were funded by him.""That's right! I heard that before he was frozen, he was a billionaire. But because his lover was diagnosed with an incurable disease, he chose to freeze himself to stay with her.""So rich and devoted—what a perfect man! His lover is incredibly lucky!"The new lab technicians whispered among themselves. Over the past 50 years, the love story of Murphy and Gemma, the cryogenic base's greatest benefactors, had spread widely throughout the facility.In the retelling of their tale, some details were lost, but the core of their story—a love so genuine it spanned half a century—had touched countless hearts."Five! Four! Three! Two… One! Beginning the thawing proces

Gemma asked curiously, "What did he say to you? Can you tell me about it?"Murphy leaned down, kissed her gently on the forehead, and began recounting the story of that chance encounter 50 years ago.When he finished, Murphy sighed thoughtfully. "It's been 50 years now. I wonder if that young man ever won over his sister?"Just as he finished speaking, the door to the lounge opened from the outside.Brendan Gabler, the base's former director, entered with the assistance of a cane while accompanied by a few researchers. The man was old. His hair was completely white, but he radiated an undeniable energy and liveliness."Mr. Townsend, this is our base's chief scientist, Mr. Brendan Gabler," the researchers introduced. "The laser-vapor hybrid thawing method used to wake you and Ms. Gemma was first conceptualized by Mr. Gabler over 40 years ago.""Really?" Murphy stepped forward respectfully and shook Brendan's hand. "Thank you for making it possible to wake me and the love of my lif
