Chapter 22
Andre spoke with heartfelt sincerity, hoping to convince Murphy to abandon the idea of freezing himself. Yet no matter what
Andre said, Murphy had only one response.
“Whether or not the thawing process succeeds in the future, my decision won’t change,” Murphy declared. His voice was resolute, and his gaze was unwavering. “I missed her once. I won’t miss her again.”
If the thaw succeeded, he would reunite with her in the future. If it did not, then he would stay by her side for eternity.
The deep sea was so dark and cold. How could his little girl, who was so afraid of the dark and the cold, endure it without him?
Upon realizing there was no changing Murphy’s mind, Andre reluctantly handed over the consent forms for cryogenic freezing.
Murphy moved swiftly through every step of the process–signing papers, undergoing a medical evaluation, and selecting a cryo–casket. By the end of the day, everything was completed with precision and efficiency.
Still, he didn’t enter the cryo–casket immediately. Before freezing himself, he took care of a few final arrangements.
He transferred all his savings to Andre and instructed him to build a new cryo–casket storage facility at Starry Moon Bay.
Gemma had always loved the stars, and Starry Moon Bay was known for its breathtaking starry skies and a lake as beautiful as the
moon itself.
The deep sea was too dark and cold for his Gemma. Once the new facility was complete, he and Gemma would be moved there to
sleep under the romantic stars for a thousand years.
During their slumber, the star he had gifted her would guard them.
