Lauren saw my expression and asked, "What's going on? "
I made a shushing gesture at her. I slid to answer the call and then opened the recording.
The hoarse voice of the voice changer rang out again.
"Ms. Chloe, do you think things have ended?" There was a tinge of mocking and contempt in that voice.
"What else do you want? Stop playing tricks. You're Navi Mansk, right? I warn you, if you dare set foot on Zydan again, I'll make sure you won't be able to go back!" I gritted my teeth.
"Hahaha..."
The voice on the other end laughed uproariously, sending chills down my spine.
"Don't forget! The most important person to Atlas is still with me! If you want him alive, then use that notebook to trade! Consider which is more valuable, and weigh your options carefully."
The other party hung up before I could continue.
Lauren looked at me, her eyes filled with fear.
I nodded at her. 'The person who kidnapped my dad! I have to go find Atlas!'
"Then hurry up!" Lauren urged me. "Be sure to drive safely!"
I quickly left the hospital room. I called out to my mom, who was still chatting with Ivanna, "Mom, we need to go back!"
My mom stood up when she sensed something was wrong. After exchanging a few words with Ivanna, she hurried behind me and anxiously asked, "Chloe, did something happen?"
"The kidnapper called me again. I have to inform Atlas!"
I called Atlas.
Atlas answered immediately and said, "Chloe! Are you awake?"
"I just came out of the hospital! Navi Mansk called again! I recorded it, and I'll send it to you! Now I'll take my mom back to Foswood, and then go to you!"
After informing Atlas, I sent him the recording of the phone call I just made.
Atlas comforted me, "You don't need to rush back and forth. I'll go back to Foswood now!"
He didn't continue speaking, but we all knew what he meant.
"Yes! It seems he has escaped!" Atlas didn't conceal it either and said, "But you don't have to worry! It's time to settle the score with him!"
"Is he... asking to trade for someone using the notebook?" My dad looked at us and asked.
His question surprised me. My dad knew that Navi Mansk would take this step.
My dad sighed regretfully, his face pale at seeing our reactions, and he whispered, "It's fate! I've been escaping from them for 20 years, but yet I failed! "
Then he suddenly looked up at my mom and ordered, "Go get the notebook! "
After glancing at him and briefly becoming pale, my mother turned around and walked upstairs to get it.
My dad said to both of us, "Come over and sit down.”
As Atlas dragged me over to the couch, I couldn't resist giving him a quick squeeze. I knew that what my father was going to say would be of interest to me.

This story would be interesting if there weren't so many garbled paragraphs. Half sentences and missed paragraphs. It's too much, give us a proper story. I'm done reading...
Atlas literally took Chloe away from Ryan Ryan needs to go back and reinforce to be able to be head-on Caz that's the only place he's lacking...
