Beyond the Divorce

"Dad! What are you saying? You and Mom can't go anywhere. This is your home! Wherever I am, you'll be there too!"

I quickly expressed my stance. Although I couldn't remember the days of fleeing, since they protected me and kept me alive, I had no reason to let them be alone.

"Even if my biological father comes back, you're still my parents. Although I don't remember what happened in my childhood or the days of fleeing, you've taken care of me for 20 years. I'll never forget that. Because of this, you have the right to live with me." "W-We're sorry for you! It's because of us that you were forcibly separated... that..." My mom spoke guiltily.

"Let's not talk about that now! You kept her alive regardless, so you're my benefactors!" Atlas quickly spoke up. "We don't need to dwell on this. The most urgent matter now is to rescue Rory. I'm afraid of unforeseen circumstances!"

"But... he went back..." My dad hesitated to speak.

I knew he was afraid.

"Although I let Navi escape back to the Bermuda this time, we can't give him another chance to catch his breath! This time, we must completely eradicate Navi. Only then can we find stability."

"Will it affect you?" My dad asked worriedly.

"Affect me? He can't affect me! But he did use Rory to control me. So I must make him understand that there's a price to pay for harming my loved ones!"

Atlas's tone was unquestionable. "My people are already with him, but we haven't found Rory's hiding place yet. So yesterday, I only showed him the pictures. Navi calculated that correctly. The book wasn't on me, nor was it in Bibury. That's why he ultimately let you go." "I anticipated this. Since he would take this step, we must turn the tables and use this notebook to get Rory back."

I looked at Atlas and asked urgently, "When will you leave?"

Then he turned to my parents and said, "Things are clear now! Perhaps disposing of Navi will truly confirm whether your daughter is still alive! What do you think?"

My mom instantly became terrified and was unable to speak. My dad reacted quicker, stammering as he asked Atlas, "You... what do you mean... our daughter might still... be alive?"

"Don't get your hopes up too high, but since you haven't seen her body, there's still a glimmer of hope. As they say, seeing is believing, right?" Atlas gave an ambiguous answer.

My mom immediately knelt before

Atlas quickly extended his arm to lift my mom. "Mom! Don't do this. We've been investigating this matter all along. Many chains are broken due to your battles to survive, making it difficult to find complete evidence and reconstruct the truth. Maybe this time... it's possible!"

Atlas embraced me and said, "Chloe, stay with your parents! I need to go back to the company and make some preparations."

I nodded. "Okay, go ahead!"

He glanced at me with relief, then kissed my forehead affectionately. "Be good. I... might come back late."

Atlas gave my parents a quick instruction before turning around and leaving. I saw him get into the car with Cane and quickly disappear from our sight.

After he left, the atmosphere among the three of us became awkward.

Ultimately, my mom couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears. She hugged me tightly and said, "Chloe! My child! I'm sorry for you, but I can't be without you! I really can't!"
