Chapter 21 " Mr. Townsend , are you serious ? " Andre , the lead at the cryogenics research group , exclaimed in disbelief , " You're actually requesting to undergo cryogenic freezing ? " Murphy nodded calmly . " That's correct . And starting today , I'll be your largest investor . From now on , 10 % of Townsend Group's annual revenue will be allocated to your cryogenics research center to support your work on developing thawing technologies . " 10 % did not sound like much , but this was Townsend Group . The company's monthly net profits exceeded billions , making the contribution staggering . " Mr. Townsend , we're truly grateful for your financial support , " Andre said patiently . " But cryogenic technology is primarily intended for patients suffering from terminal illnesses - conditions like ALS , cancer , or multiple organ failure . These are diseases that modern medicine has no way to cure . Andre continued , " Many of these terminal patients are still young . Instead of slowly succumbing to their illnesses , they hope to say their goodbyes to loved ones and undergo cryogenic freezing , preserving both their bodies and their illnesses . " They place their hope in the future - trusting that as technology and medical science advance , a day will come when their diseases can be cured and they can be safely thawed . " Andre paused briefly , then added with hesitation , " Your body , however , is completely healthy . You're not ill . I don't understand why you'd choose to freeze yourself . " Murphy turned toward the room where Gemma's cryo - casket was stored . His gaze softened with unspoken tenderness . "
