"He smirked and told me that Louis and Tammy had died in a plane crash, and I was 'dead' along with them,” my father choked.“At that moment, I passed out. When I woke up again, I wasn't in that small dark room anymore. He had moved me to a bamboo building deep in the mountains with two guards.""Did you know where that was?" I asked, my heart aching with anger. I wanted to kill Clark.He shook his head. "I had no idea. I didn't even know how far we had traveled. I'm sure they used something on me. My head was spinning when I woke up."I wanted to leave. I wanted to verify what Clark said. I simply couldn't believe that Louis and his wife could have died in a plane crash. They were so alive in my memories.”My father choked up again, and he clutched the bedsheet tightly with both hands. "He was my closest friend. We understood each other very well. We still had so much to do, including the BZ plan. How could he leave just like that?"By now, my father’s neck and face were red fro
"Yes. They weren't naturally mute. Their tongues had been cut out.""How cruel!" I couldn't help but exclaim."I spent every day looking for an opportunity to escape. I didn't even know where we were or what time it was. But judging from the environment and vegetation, it seemed like we were in Southeast Torado.""He really put a lot of effort into this." I gritted my teeth in anger."But to me, it didn’t matter where I was. What was terrifying was that I didn't know what was happening outside those mountains. I didn’t know if Clark’s words were true."I didn't see Clark for a long time. I threatened those two guards later, saying I wanted to see him. I had no choice, so I resorted to a hunger strike. I had to find out what was happening outside."If it was true that Louis and Tammy were dead, how had their death been handled? And what about ATL Empire? To be honest, I was more worried about Lucille. I had no idea how she would have reacted to the news of my death. And you two…”
"But before I could carry out my escape plan, they showed up and gave me a needle injection. I lost consciousness and was transported somewhere else. It seems that this is when Clark sensed something. "The environment there was better. Judging from the cement room where they kept me, this place was closer to civilization. That gave me hope! However, the good times didn't last long. After staying there for just a few days, I was taken away again,” my dad said."That's right, Celine sensed that Clark was up to no good. She didn't even know where you were hidden, so she started looking for your whereabouts and began hunting down Clark," Atlas added.Dad nodded. "They appeared apprehensive and did not give me a shot. I guess someone was after them. I seized the opportunity and escaped barefoot. I was eventually captured again due to my distinctive appearance.“However, it was not just one group chasing after me.""The Cross family and the Lively family were also searching for you!" A
However, we kept listening to Dad without bringing up this point."Navi is very cunning. At first, he was quite respectful of me and made an effort to obtain information from me. I pretended not to know and avoided the topic, never mentioning the BZ plan. I only mentioned that I was the son-in-law of the elite in Yare."I looked at Atlas. "That’s why another 'me' appeared in Yare! Navi is likely behind it!Dad looked at me in astonishment, asking, "What are you talking about?"Atlas spoke before me, "Several months ago, Yare welcomed a woman who resembles Stella and is greatly favored by the old lady! Her origin is unknown.""The Avila family?" Dad fell into contemplation.I asked, "Did you know about the organization at that time?""Yes, but I learned about it from Clark. The organization was after me too. When Louis and I were prospecting for minerals, we encountered them. They’re a group of thugs and crazed plunderers. Louis and I always kept our distance from them."Atlas s
”Clark’s son and grandson are also in our hands!" Atlas said, "But we'll wait until your condition improves before meeting them! Don't worry, I'll settle the score with them!"At this point, Dad looked very tired sitting up. Atlas quickly went to lower the bed and helped him lie down. "Dad! Don't overexert yourself. We have plenty of time to deal with things later. You must recover as soon as possible. Once all your indicators are back to normal, we'll figure out how to treat your leg.""D-Do I still have hope?" My Dad's eyes suddenly lit up, then dimmed with disappointment. He sighed, "It's been almost fifteen years. It's probably impossible!""Don't give up. I'll hire the top surgeons from around the world. As long as there's a glimmer of hope, we shouldn't give up!" Atlas said firmly, "I’ll help you stand up again! There are too many things we still need you for."I quickly reassured him, "Believe in Atlas, he can do it! It's safe here."After comforting him, we left his room
Atlas immediately hugged me from behind. "Let's go back!""No, I just want to take a look at him and make sure he's safe!" Despite my agony, I persisted in my stubbornness.The night shift nurses were shivering as they cautiously peered outside in the brightly lit corridor.Atlas's men were putting a body into a body bag and carrying it away. The room they brought out was my father's ward. I suddenly felt uneasy.When others had already entered my father's room, he continued to assure me everything was fine. I was dying to find out exactly what he meant when he said it was "fine."I shook off Atlas's hand and rushed in. I saw another injured person kneeling on the ground, with a large puddle of blood on the floor, which looked horrifying.However, the hospital bed was empty and unoccupied.I looked at Atlas with a questioning gaze and asked, "Where's Dad?"Atlas smirked sinisterly. "Don't worry!"He then led me inside after that. Then, in front of that injured member of the or
Good news arrived early in the morning. Loak was transferred from the ICU into a regular ward.My father insisted on going to see him. His spirits seemed much better today. His eyes looked exceptionally bright.So, I had to have the special guard bring a wheelchair and personally wheel my father to see Loak. After all, my father's life had been saved by Loak and his sister.Last night, my father told me that if it hadn't been for this child's quick thinking, there wouldn't have been a chance to escape.When we arrived at Loak's ward, doctors and nurses were examining him. Atlas and Cane were also present.When Anya saw me coming in, she rushed to my side and said, "Madam, the doctor said he'll be fine!""Of course, he'll get better soon!" I smiled at her and spoke reassuringly. She looked delighted. I wanted to say a lot to her, but our language barrier prevented us from speaking openly.Atlas approached me and said, "After the doctors finish their check-up, let's go back to Fre
Ivanna drew me to a seat in the ward's lounge area and inquired, "Is Rory really back? Tell me about his condition. Is he okay? Is it true that he can’t walk? What did the doctor say…?"Ivanna bombarded me with so many questions that I felt a little overwhelmed."He’s not doing so well right now. But fortunately, our plan was solid, and we managed to bring him back. If we had found him any later, he might have... sigh!"My eyes welled up with tears, but I continued, "But he's back now, and he’s alive. We need to take good care of him from now on. As for his leg... we'll have to wait for the final test results. Atlas is confident he’ll recover, and he’s hired an excellent orthopaedic surgeon. I trust him!""That's good. As long as Atlas is confident, there shouldn't be any problems." Ivanna nodded.I looked at her belly and touched it gently with a smile. "How about you? Is the baby behaving? Are you still experiencing morning sickness?""I'm much better now. The morning sickness
