My dad lowered his head and said, "But we were truly at our wits' end. She was trying every possible way to escape. However, we can't bear to let her go because she's still so young. “Also, since she's too clever, we're afraid of her exposing our whereabouts. We know full well that once the people from Navi's group find our trail, it's game over for both of us.""She also depended on us during these two years of escape, much like our daughter did before. She got away once, and it took us two whole days to track her down. It was really difficult to get her back because she was huddled with other beggars."I felt shivers running down my spine as I listened to my dad's story.“We were at our wits' end, and after hearing people say that hypnosis can erase memories, we made up our minds. To prevent her from running away, we could only find a hypnotist to seal her memories. After that, she became much more obedient. She never mentioned finding her friend again!""The friend she was loo

"Dad! What are you saying? You and Mom can't go anywhere. This is your home! Wherever I am, you'll be there too!"I quickly expressed my stance. Although I couldn't remember the days of fleeing, since they protected me and kept me alive, I had no reason to let them be alone."Even if my biological father comes back, you're still my parents. Although I don't remember what happened in my childhood or the days of fleeing, you've taken care of me for 20 years. I'll never forget that. Because of this, you have the right to live with me.""W-We're sorry for you! It's because of us that you were forcibly separated... that..." My mom spoke guiltily."Let's not talk about that now! You kept her alive regardless, so you're my benefactors!" Atlas quickly spoke up. "We don't need to dwell on this. The most urgent matter now is to rescue Rory. I'm afraid of unforeseen circumstances!""But... he went back..." My dad hesitated to speak.I knew he was afraid."Although I let Navi escape back to

I pushed the door open and walked in, spotting him slouched on the couch in the room, looking dispirited.Quietly, I approached him. "Dad."He lifted his head, and tears welled up in his eyes. "Chloe…”Seeing him like this tugged at my heartstrings. I understood the pain my adoptive parents had carried and the hardships they had gone through. I believed in their love for me.My nose tingled. I went over and bent down to him. "Don't be like this, Dad. You and Mom are my parents. If you hadn't risked your lives to bring me out, I wouldn't be here today. Without you, I might not have found Atlas. I might not even be alive."He grasped my hand and said, "Chloe, bringing you out into this world was the best decision I ever made.""I know how much you both love me. Throughout these twenty years, you've showered me with warmth and care, giving me a home," I said sincerely."Maybe forgetting those past memories is a form of happiness for me," I reassured him."I might have lost the mem

Downstairs, Hana had finished showering and was helping Ava with her hair while Jenny waited. The three girls chatted and laughed while doing their hair, creating a heartwarming scene.Meanwhile, Arnold kept teasing and bothering them, provoking protests from the girls. We heard high-pitched shouts and bursts of laughter from time to time.Grandma Rose sat there, watching Hana's every move as if appreciating a beautiful scene.It seemed that she had developed a liking for Hana.The atmosphere was peaceful, and I thought it would be wonderful if our lives could continue like this.I checked the time and realized it was almost 7 p.m.. The sky outside was getting dark, but Atlas still hadn't returned.He must have been very busy this afternoon."Let's have dinner," I said to everyone.My mom asked, "Chloe, did you call Atlas?""Oh. I'll do that now." I helplessly picked up the phone and dialed Atlas's number, only to find that it was turned off.His phone must have run out of ba

Just then, Arnold walked over from the main hall and noticed the two of us chatting. He came over with a playful smile, saying, "What secrets are you two girls talking about? Care to share them with me?”Hana smiled and answered with an excuse. "It’s getting late. I should go home.”After saying that, she stood up from the rocking chair. "Could you please take me back?""What if I say no?" Arnold smiled playfully, looking mischievous. "You can stay here.""No way!" Hana immediately retorted. Blushing, she said, "I have to go back even if it's late."I knew she was sharing a place with Joyce, and they got along well. "How’s Joyce’s relationship with Ryan?”Hana smiled. "They’re doing very well.""You have to give them some space, okay? If you stay here, I can show you a movie. We can watch movies all night if you want," Arnold suggested.Hana looked puzzled, "Here?"I smiled. "It's true. There's a home theater in the annex, and we have a lot of classic movies.At that moment,
