Dad, I'm Letting You Go Chapter 9
Eventually, Dad decided to see a therapist at his family's urging. I stayed by his side and accompanied him to every appointment. He took his medication and did his exercises every day, working hard to overcome six years of trauma.Six months later, Dad looked remarkably handsome. His face grew rosy, and the scars on his skin gradually faded, leaving it smooth again. His once-hunched back straightened, and his dark eyes hardened with resolve. He radiated a vitality he had never shown.Accompanied by Uncle Julian, Dad re-enrolled in school. I stayed by Dad's side, looking around and wondering if this was the life he was meant to have. Flowers bloomed all around, and everyone wore a bright smile on their faces.I couldn't help but think that if Dad had never been taken, I might have been this happy too.…I stayed by Dad's side for four years, watching him grow more cheerful by the day, as if he had completely moved on from those painful years. Still, he always wore that rough lucky

I reached out with my transparent hand and gently touched Dad's cheek. "Dad, I never blamed you."At Dad's insistence, Grandpa and Granny poured enormous manpower and resources into searching the bottom of the cliff for my body. Despite his physical weakness, Dad insisted on going down as well.The first things they came across were bones scattered across the ground. These were the remains of the young women who had been killed over the years.The police carefully collected the bones. They would serve as the strongest evidence to fully convict the traffickers at the compound.Dad searched at the bottom of the cliff for a full day and night before he finally found me, surrounded by vines.I floated over and stood in front of him, trying to block his view. My body was in such a horrible state that I didn't want him to see it.Still, Dad walked toward my body, step by step. When he saw my decaying body, he wept until he passed out.Uncle Julian gently carried my body up and took ou

Dad spoke anxiously in my defense. "Mom, Ben is my son too. If he hadn't helped me this time, I wouldn't have escaped."After hearing Dad's words, his family softened toward me. They discussed it for a while and decided to accept me, bringing me to live with them.I spun around happily in the air. This time, I finally had a real family of my own.Dad went to the police station with his family to file a report and hand over the evidence Lucas had gathered. The police treated cross-border trafficking cases with great seriousness. They formed a special task force from the provincial capital and deployed many officers to investigate the compound.The locals stopped the police cars as soon as they entered the town. They used their numbers to block the vehicles and refused to let them pass. Some even tried to destroy the cars.I drifted back to the compound and saw everyone, under Mr. Sinclair's command, hurriedly throwing bodies off the cliff to destroy the evidence. They had locked ev

As I got older, I started to understand things better. I realized that Dad had been trafficked into the compound. He had never belonged here.…I drifted on the wind for most of the night before I finally found Dad and Lucas. They had crossed the mountains and made it into town, only a step away from the border.Lucas forgot my warning and tried to call the police, but Dad grabbed him and stopped him.Dad's expression was firm. "Ben said we can't go to the police. Did you forget?"Lucas paused and muttered to himself, "Then how am I supposed to contact my teammates?"The town was almost cut off from the outside world. People could only enter or leave on a fixed day each week.I floated by Dad's side, spinning anxiously. "You can't let anyone see you. Their informants are everywhere in this town. If they find you, you'll be taken back."For corruption to persist in a place for so long, it had to be tied to powers beyond it. These people covered for each other, turning this place
Dad, I'm Letting You Go Chapter 5
Three hours ago, I parted ways with Dad on the hill. I knew very well that the drug I used lasted at most two hours. They would definitely catch up to Dad after waking up and bring him back.So, I prepared for everything. I threw on the clothes Dad always wore and strapped two light scarecrows to my back. Then I ran in the opposite direction and placed Dad's shoes at the fork in the path.Using my small frame and familiarity with the hill to my advantage, I misled them for over three hours.At last, I reached the edge of the cliff. I gently ran my hand over Dad's clothes, hung them in the bushes, and then looked at the drop in front of me. The steep cliff loomed in the darkness, almost daring me forward.I looked back one last time at the rapidly approaching torches, a smile spreading across my face. Then I leaped off the bottomless cliff.The wind whistled in my ears. I thought I heard Dad's gentle yet firm voice again. "Ben, I'll definitely take you with me and escape this hellh

Olivia glanced at Dad's frail frame. "If you're going to keep him for breeding, you need to fatten him up a bit. Otherwise, he'll be dead before he makes a single penny."Mom nodded with obvious reluctance. "Fine, I'll give him more to eat this month."From that day on, Mom fed Dad as if he were livestock. When he refused to eat, she broke his teeth and shoved the food into his mouth.A month passed, and Dad had put on a little weight.Christmas was three days away. I walked into the pigpen and crouched down in front of Dad.Dad curled up on the straw, his haggard face completely stripped of the handsomeness he once had.He opened his eyes slightly, then shut them in disgust when he realized it was me. "Get away from me, you little bastard!"I took in every detail of his face, unwilling to look away. I whispered, "Dad, Christmas is coming. You'll be reunited with your family soon. Are you happy?"Dad sneered. "Reunite with that human trafficker and a little bastard like you? I
