My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 568

Seeing that the situation was off, the robot by the side quickly sprayed a mist. When Linus breathed in the mist, he calmed down in an instant. The boiling blood inside of him finally cooled down. Linus stared at his hands that were still shivering from the excessive agitation; his eyes were filled with dismay. What happened? Why is this happening? Why did I suddenly lose control of my emotions? Linus had never lost his cool like that before.

“Hahaha…” Phantom Wolf, who was lying on the ground with a bruised and swollen face, laughed with his mouth wide open; blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

“I didn’t expect you to make such gaffes for a woman. I thought you’re only interested in men.”

For a while, Linus continued to stare at his trembling hands; his mind went blank. It was only after he suddenly thought of Sophia, who was sleeping still on the bed, that he quickly straightened himself. Instantly, he pulled her sweater down to cover her torso and carried her out in a hurry.

Unfortunately, Sophia did not belong to him nor Linus! Once Linus carried Sophia back to the living room, he wrapped her in a coat and placed the cat in her arms to keep her in her earlier sleeping posture. Observing Sophia who was still asleep, a strange emotion rose in Linus’ heart. It was something he had never felt before.

It seemed like Sophia had a dreadful dream. Two lines of tears trickled down the edges of her eyes. Her hands that were placed against the sofa kept on moving, and her fingers seemed to be struggling subconsciously. Her fingers were covered with band-aids; all of her nails were scratched and broken. It was apparent how frightful and defenseless she had been earlier in those few minutes.

What is she dreaming about? Did she dream of what happened during the day again? Something inside Linus tore apart when he looked at her painful and anxious expression. The robot had brought the antidote over and he injected it in her neck. The eye of the needle was so small that it was invisible to the human eye. After the shot, Sophia seemed to have quietened down a little. Wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes, Linus let her sleep in peace…

In the middle of the night, Michael rushed home in a hurry. When he was told that Sophia had not been back after visiting Linus, he darted toward Villa No. 2. After pressing the doorbell, he entered without obstacles.

Coming out from the basement in his gloves and work clothes, Linus saw Michael. In amazement, he said, “Michael, you’re finally here to pick up Sophia!”

As Michael’s gaze swept across the space, he immediately found Sophia who was sleeping on the living room sofa. The heating system was fully turned on. She slept soundly under a blanket with a cat in her arms; her cheeks were pink. Nicholas shrank into a cylinder while he stood aside for charging. When he heard Michael’s voice, his limbs sprang out, activating itself automatically. “Dad, you’re back!”

The rock in Michael’s heart finally fell. When he talked to Linus, he subconsciously lowered down his volume. “I’m sorry, Mr. Michel. I’m here to take Sophia home.”

With an embarrassing smile, Linus said, “I was upgrading Nicholas’ system earlier, and later found Sophia asleep in the living room. I couldn’t make myself wake her up.” He then asked the robot to hand a box to Hale who was standing next to Michael.

“Sophia came to me today for this defensive microbot. This is all I have in stock now. The invoice is inside the box.”

Speaking of that, Michael was very grateful. Perhaps this is fate. Linus had only upgraded Nicholas with the silver needle the day before and it comes in handy today! What a coincidence! Immediately, he thanked him, “Thank you. I’ll transfer the money to you later.” He then inquired, “What happens to people who have been injected with this kind of needle?”

It seemed like Michael wanted to ask something more, but his eyes found Sophia who was sleeping on the sofa. She sat up suddenly and glanced at her surroundings in a daze. Was that a dream?
