My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1438

Everyone respected Sophia’s choice because it was currently the best one they had.

Justin and Linus had already tested their idea of defusing the bomb, but there was still one uncertainty left, which was that the bomb was deeply planted inside Sophia’s body, so they needed to remove the bomb first through surgical operation before damaging its internal structure. That way, the bomb wouldn’t be activated, and they would be able to dismantle it. However, this was an extremely dangerous surgery that required a surgeon with high levels of technical skill.

If anything went wrong… the consequence would be devastating.

In the end, Sophia still chose this path because she didn’t want to be used by Jordan to threaten Cooper, and she also refused to hide away forever.

It really feels uncomfortable to have a bomb in my body, as if I’m going to explode in any second. I don’t even dare to flip my body when I sleep or breathe too hard. We must carry out this surgery as fast as possible.

Soon after, Justin and Linus prepared everything needed for the surgery, and the operation site was set in the cottage that they were living in. They also set a parameter with a radius of 10 kilometers around the house to ensure no one was near because they were afraid Jordan’s men might infiltrate the house during the operation.

Not only that, they didn’t want to involve innocent civilians if any accidents occurred.

The operation required at least two people, with one in charge of defusing the bomb while the other carried out the surgery.

Not only that, both of them must be highly specialized in their skills; otherwise, it might cause an infection or a hemorrhage. In that case, even if the bomb did not kill Sophia, she might die later on due to the failure of the surgery. Therefore, the person dismantling the bomb must have a detailed understanding of the bomb, while the person performing the operation must be proficient in surgery.

Also, this was a risky procedure.

If something went wrong, and the bomb was detonated, not only would Sophia die—the people performing the operation and dismantling the bomb would die along with her.

Hence, only two people were allowed in the house to minimize the risk. Other than that, they were given the assistance of the two robots, Nicholas and Shae.

Justin volunteered himself to perform the dangerous task. “Let me do it. Not only am I proficient in surgery and bomb disposal, I’ve also studied this bomb for a long time, so I’m most certain that I can handle this task. Along with the assistance of the robots, I can finish this operation alone.”

The moment he volunteered himself, he had already considered all outcomes.

I have already lived a fulfilling life—my son is all grown up, and Celine is now healthy, while my daughter has people who love her. Even if I’m gone, the Mitchell and Fletcher Family will treat the three of them well. There will be no regrets if I die now.

At the moment, Michael, who was standing aside, had no right to intervene. He wasn’t proficient in either bomb disposal or surgical operation, so even if he was determined to do it himself, he would only cause more harm to her.

Upon seeing Justin volunteering himself, Linus couldn’t stand aside and watch. “Let me dismantle the bomb. I invented it, so I’m most familiar with it. It’ll be much easier for us to succeed if I’m the one who diffuses it.”

After that, he looked toward Cooper, as if he was seeking his approval.

Naturally, Cooper knew the consequences of sending in Linus.

I may lose both my son and daughter within a day.

However, he saw the determination in Linus’ eyes.

He must go because he is the most suitable person to do it. If he doesn’t, he will live the rest of his life in guilt. Once again, he almost killed his own sister. This dark past of his shall follow him forever, taking away all his happiness.

Cooper’s eyes flickered with light as he finally agreed in the end.

Suddenly, the always silent Quinton spoke out. “Let me perform the operation.”

The moment he came out, he was immediately refuted by Justin, who never liked him. “I don’t trust you, so I won’t hand Sophia’s life over to you.”

Quinton snorted, as if he was underestimating him. “I have a doctoral degree in surgical operation. What do you have?”

“You…”

Justin was exposed by him for not having any academic qualifications, but he could only glare at him viciously without having anything to back him up.

Quinton took out the equipment that he had already prepared and put on a white coat. As he put on his gloves and mask, he refused to look at Justin again.

At the moment, Justin was staring at him while gritting his teeth, but internally, his emotions were extremely complicated.

Everyone knew that this might lead to their death.
