Beyond the Divorce

We agreed to always depend on each other once things calmed down.

I looked at Atlas, questioning, "Did she really plan so far ahead? Did she keep this girl around all this time? Who is she? Do you think she might be connected to my parents back home?"

Atlas shook his head. "She may not have planned so far ahead, but this may be something she has prepared for.

"You mean sending Kylie to the Avilas?" I asked, feeling a bit anxious.

Atlas nodded. "After all, the connection between Rory and Lucille is an indelible mark, and Lucille's foundation is profound. There was no way she didn't take precautions. Knowing that she has someone in her hands is her leverage.

"Perhaps that's what prevented us from discovering this woman's origin. As for whether Kylie has any connection to your current parents, that can only be revealed when you recover your memories."

Atlas comforted me, "But don't worry. I'll arrange for someone to investigate Kylie. She won't stir up any big waves. When the time is right, I'll contact the Avila family."

"Do you know them well?" I sensed the implication in Atlas's words. He was not unfamiliar with the Avila family.

Sure enough, Atlas said, "I'm not unfamiliar with them. I dealt with them when I was looking for you and sought help from them."
