Beyond the Divorce

"You didn't tell me anything about bringing your dad back. There must have been some complications, right?" Ryan asked as we walked.

"Forget it. It's not something I can explain in a few words. It was dangerous, and our lives were on the line. We managed to bring him out at the last moment, thanks to Atlas's meticulous plan. It wouldn't have been possible otherwise." It still scared me when I thought about it.

If Atlas hadn't brought Loak and his sister back, there would have been no chance of success at saving my father.

Ryan looked shocked and asked in disbelief, "Was it that bad?"

I nodded earnestly. "The entire rescue operation was challenging despite our careful plan. Involving Loak and Anya really made a difference. Atlas didn't overlook any details. If it weren't for them..."

I shook my head. "We probably wouldn't have found my dad."

"He really is a good leader," Ryan said.

As we entered the arrival hall, someone called out to me. "Mrs. Chloe!"
