Default cost

Could I use his son's? (not simply his son)

-This hope will cost __ freedom.

Dictionaries have sentences:

-That one mistake almost cost him his life.
-A late penalty cost United the game.
-Such behaviour could cost you your place in the team.

without the possessive s. But the original sounds OK.
