Beyond the Divorce

Insane



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 organization, he reached out and pressed a switch on the bedside cab. Suddenly, a section of the smooth wall moved and flipped, revealing a spacious room inside.

The guy tried to stand up suddenly, but one of our guards punched him to the ground. When I briskly stepped into the ward, he howled and glared at

me.

"Dad!" I called softly, and only then did my heart finally settle.

He was awake, and the guard raised his bed. Observing all that was happening outdoors, he chuckled bitterly, "These animals! They're truly insane, audacious, and reckless!"

I looked back at Atlas in shock. "How did you know they would come again?"

With a little chuckle, Atlas drew me into his embrace. "They wouldn't accept that I caught their people. Just like Stella said, 'What she can't get, nobody else can! That's why I'm on guard every moment.""

Then he looked into my eyes. "Do you doubt my abilities?"

I looked at my father, who was unharmed, and said shyly, "You always keep me in suspense!"

"Oh, did you receive Stella's

message I only remembered this

now. Logically, Dylan must have

news. He had been handling

follow-up matters in Cirencester.

"While tidying up the base, we didn't find Stella's body. She must have escaped!" Atlas told me truthfully.

"Escaped... she really escaped?" I murmured.

I didn't know whether to be happy or

disappointed. This 'Stella' really

"I just really want to know her true identity."

I hoped she wasn't who we suspected, that she wasn't the lost daughter of my adopted parents.

Another question popped into my

mind, so immediately asked, "To further confirm it's Stella, we'll have to wait until we find her, right?"

"No need; we'll have the results tomorrow!" Atlas said confidently.

I was about to ask how he confirmed it. However, my dad repeated with a look of doubt, "Stella?"

Then, his gaze at me became skeptical. "How is there another Stella?"

I hurriedly sat next to him. "Yes, there's another Stella, but it's a bit of a long story. I'll tell you all the details."

Atlas ordered the people outside to take the captured person away and keep an eye on him.

Then he softly said, "Let's rest for a while. After daybreak, we'll go home!"

I saw a twitch at the corner of my father's mouth. "...Home?"

His voice was noticeably choked up. Perhaps these two words had always been his dream!

"Yes, we're going home!" Atlas said it unquestionably.

This time, I was terrified of losing more, and I never wanted to part with my dad.

I just managed to lie on the large sofa in the hidden room until dawn.
