Throughout the period that Michael was placed in cryogenic sleep, Sophia threw herself into work to distract herself. She devoted all of her time to her career and her children; in fact, she did not allow herself to have any free time. I’ll recall his name whenever I’m free. Those two words make me feel suffocated.
During the winter in the second year of his cryopreservation, she followed Daniel to inspect the Remote Mountains Health Club Villa that they collaborated together. While they were in the area, they took the opportunity to visit Dragon Mountain. Once upon a time, I used to feel relieved whenever I’m here. Now, I am just like a lamb, who has lost its way because I’m back, seeking answers here. .
The Dragon Mountain no longer looked as shabby as before. There were currently countless joss sticks burning at the temple with hundreds of devotees gathered around to pay their respects too. Unfortunately, the first monk master had passed away.
She left the area without achieving what she had set out to achieve. In the end, she continued living like a lost lamb.
Soon, it was the fifth year of Michael’s cryogenic sleep and time swiftly passed by. Sophia had celebrated her 35th birthday.
Many things happened in the fifth year. For example, Carmen was preparing to pursue her studies abroad alone.
She had always received the best education available since she had elite private tutors. Therefore, she had the best options for her studies. She started junior middle school when she was 11 years old and now, she finally received the admission letter from Eton College.
Cooper started to line up to apply for a spot in Eton College the year he found out about Carmen’s existence. On top of that, he simultaneously fought for the rights of female students to be enrolled into the college.
Due to the combined powerful influences of Cooper and Carmen’s three families and thanks to the support from a large number of people eager for change, the administration of Eton College finally accepted female students in secret after many years of tradition. She was part of the first batch and they only took one class of female students with less than twenty girls.
The enrollment quota of less than twenty female students had been selected through thousands of candidates. Upon learning that Eton College was accepting female students, the local noble families tried sending their daughters into the college and even the aristocrats abroad tested the waters too.
After enduring countless rounds of interviews, Carmen succeeded to secure a seat. She had worked hard and tirelessly for the spot in the college apart from her family’s support.
Despite her petite figure, Carmen knew early on about the importance of self-importance. Throughout the years, she had continued to operate her store on Amazon while developing her talents and potential in different fields. Her store was now operating like a proper business.
She stopped being involved in movies and reality shows, which was most probably due to her boredom. It was time for her to transform from a young idol to a straight-A goddess.
The interview for Eton College was much more difficult compared to the kindergarten interview that she had in the past. Furthermore, the college would inspect the family situation and background beforehand. Fortunately, Sophia had already obtained a postgraduate degree from Bayside University, so she did not weigh her family down.
Carmen simply packed her luggage and left the home which she lived in for the past eleven years to further her studies abroad…
In any case, Sophia started to pack her daughter’s luggage while nagging her along the way. It was obvious her heart was breaking for her daughter. My dear baby is leaving for such a far place for the first time to attend boarding school. She does not have any family there. I just can’t help but feel worried despite sending somebody over to look after her daily needs.
On the other hand, Carmen seemed annoyed as she commented, “Mom, I’m leaving to pursue my studies. It’s not like I am going to war. I will not end up dead, so you do not have to worry about me. Here, have a look! I’m already using sanitary pads. I am a big girl, which means I am no longer a baby.”
Sophia felt even more desolated when she heard that. My daughter is all grown up now; she’s even using sanitary pads these days.
Carmen left swiftly and from then on, she left her home for many years to make a living outside.
Within the same year, Linus and Callum still remained single while Sophia’s twins had a growth spurt too. By the end of the year, Cade regained consciousness.
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 Sophia and Anna, who had bloodshot eyes.
“Mom?” Cade, 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 Anna and Sophia before asking, “Mom, Sophia, 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 Anna’s face as well as Sophia’s longer hair and matured expression that he finally realized five years had already passed.
