Beyond the Divorce

My dad's expression remained blank, but he didn't let go of my hand. "Chloe, do you think she'll remember us?" Honestly, his question felt a little selfish. It pierced into my heart like a knife.

After a while, I managed to ease the pain in my heart and nodded. "Yes, I'm sure she'll remember you both."

Tears welled up in his eyes as he looked down at my face. "I'm sorry, Chloe. I'm really sorry."

I understood the meaning behind his words. He was sorry for my lost memories.

After comforting him for a while, he gathered himself and ruffled my hair. "I never regretted saving you, Chloe. I only regret walking the wrong path and wasting precious time."

Through gritted teeth, he said, "That's why I hate Navi. We need to bring Navi and his gang to justice, whether or not we find Gemma. I'm willing to face the consequences. I could testify against them!" "Don't think about that right now, Dad. You should take care of your health first. Atlas and I don't have any more family, and you can't leave us with no one to rely on." I said earnestly.

"My biological father is still alive, but I don't know how he's doing right now. They killed my biological mother. We only have you two, so you need to take care of yourselves. That's what we really want." "We're really grateful that you're both willing to accept us, and that you don't hold any grudges against us."

"How could I hold a grudge? Atlas wants to make this house more lively so it feels like a real home."
