My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1173

Very important? Does it have something to do with the business?

When Cooper opened the document, he saw that it was an unnamed zip file with a large video file that was more than ten gigabytes. He proceeded to download the file.

Since Sophia often played games, the internet at Michael’s place was very fast, and the large file finished downloading in an instant. With a cup of coffee in his hand, he looked over some work documents while the video was being played.

When the video started, the quality was very poor. It looked like it was taken on a camera from decades ago. Judging by the background, the place seemed like a laboratory of some sort.

That was how Cooper used to record dates. For example, ‘Invented USB flash disk, age 18, 198X’.

He still used the same format now. ‘Carmen Sophia Fletcher, age XX, 200X’.

Glancing at the timestamp, he instinctively translated it as: ‘When Sophia was 5 months old.’

In the video, a man in a white lab coat was talking to the camera. Because the video was recorded a long time ago, the audio was not very clear. Cooper had to turn the volume up all the way to be able to get several audible sentences out of it.

“…mindwiping can cultivate completely loyal soldiers. After they lose their memories, we can mold a new personality into them as we please. It produces faster and more effective results compared to traditional methods. Traditional mindwiping techniques use torture to make people forget, which will inevitably cause physical damage to the test subject. My method, on the other hand, uses electric currents to damage memory nerves in the brain and cause permanent damage in order to achieve memory loss and reconstruct personality.”

“But, the experiment is not complete yet. We still need a large number of test subjects to carry out clinical trials.”

Cooper’s eyes narrowed. This person is Quinton’s mentor, the previous Phantom Wolf.

During that time, he had only met him once.

He was the person who invented those mindwiping techniques that caused Sophia, Celine, and Annabel to lose their memories.

After that, the video cut to two blond men who were bringing a thin girl into the frame. On the screen, the subtitle read, ‘Test Subject #19, female, age 19’.

The thin girl had her back against Cooper. She had black hair and looked Cethosian.

The moment the girl turned around, he was able to see her face. It’s her! It’s Annabel!

He felt as though he had just fallen into an ice cellar. All the hairs on his body were standing on their ends.

It’s my Annabel!

It was exactly the same girl in his memories, except she looked skinnier, the bones on her face were protruding, and the color on her face had turned ashen.

From watching the video, he immediately knew what was happening—Phantom Wolf was about to brainwash her.

She’s going to lose her memories!

At that point, Cooper almost slammed his laptop shut.

He could not get himself to watch that scene. He knew that it was, undoubtedly, a very painful process.

Especially since both his daughter and the woman he loved had endured that pain!

Right before his laptop closed, however, he heard a pristine voice.

“Leon… Did you meet Coop in Cethos?”

Cooper’s hands stopped moving.

What was that? Annabel just called me! Coop…

That name sounded like a name from a previous life.

He thought he would never hear it again.

It looked like she had trusted Leon as she even begged him to send word to Cooper in Cethos.

She thought that Leon would help her.

It was all just wishful thinking.

She thought that because she was a descendant of the direct line of the Imperial Yard Family and the successor of the Ronney Group, she was a good match for Cooper, the future head of the Mitchell Family.

Once Cooper hears that I’m alive, he will look for our children, and come to get me. The Mitchells will not stop us from being together anymore. I can spend the rest of my life being happy with Coop.

But in reality, when Phantom Wolf met Cooper, he did not tell him anything about Annabel.

Annabel was deceived!

Unfortunately, she had no idea what she was about to face and was still waiting for Cooper like a fool.

Staring at the screen, Cooper felt like his heart was being stabbed over and over again.

Annabel looked very weak. Leon had to support her to the operating table and attach various devices to her. They shaved off a part of her head and stuck on numerous electrode pads.

Looking at the machines with fascination, she asked, “Leon, will my uterus really be fixed after this procedure?”

He lowered his head to hide his expression, but his voice came out eloquently. “Yes, this uterus can be transplanted flawlessly. I guarantee it will be a success.”

She smiled again. “You’re the best, Leon.”

His head was still lowered, but he did not say another word.

Then, he promptly began the operation for Annabel’s ‘uterus transplant’.
