"Yes, Atlas already filled me in on that. I was taken aback at first. She knew about my daughter and asked if I wanted to see her. I felt a mix of anxiety and joy. I suspected you were still alive, but I was worried if her questions implied anything else.”
"I understand how you felt. I'll definitely settle the score with her someday."
"She asked me if I wanted to see my daughter. That question made me tense up immediately. Just imagine how worried I was, fearing for your safety.
"I asked her where my daughter was. She arrogantly responded that the only way to see my daughter was to spill the beans on whatever secret Louis and I had been hiding."
After finishing his sentence, he smiled at me.
"It was precisely that statement that put me on alert. She was using my daughter to manipulate me, trying to extract my secret. It was then I became certain that they realized I must be valuable, but they didn't know why."
I looked at my father. He seemed wise and had managed to maintain his clarity and composure despite being trapped.
"That must have been after we captured Clark. They must have suspected something then. Even now, they haven't figured out your true value. Looks like they're still clueless about the real BZ plan," I speculated.
"You're right. So I said, 'I do have a secret, but I won't tell you unless I see my daughter.' I figured if I did that, they wouldn't dare touch you. Your safety was the most important thing to me, regardless of whether you were with them.”
"Dad." I choked up. Despite his loss of freedom, he still thought about protecting me.
"She pressured me for a while, but when I didn't budge, she left in frustration."
"Did she cause those injuries?" I asked.
The doctor had mentioned my father's injuries.
"Yes. But not long after, she came back and got Ierak to inject me with something. After that, I don't remember much," he explained.
I felt relieved. "Looks like Atlas's return to the base disrupted their plans. Otherwise, you might have been taken away again, and we would have missed the opportunity to save you."
