Atlas's face darkened as he uttered a curt "Hmm" and hung up the phone.
Turning to Tristan, he said, "Escort Mrs. Chloe back to the office."
He looked at me and softened his tone, "You go back to the office first, I'll come to pick you up later." Atlas expressed a hint of apology.
"Okay." I nodded.
Tristan escorted me to my office and gave me some instructions before leaving.
Then, my phone rang. It was a call from Trinity. I quickly answered, "Chlo, I'm about to head to the airport, I’m going to Yare. Do you have any messages for the old lady?"
Her sudden question caught me off guard. I really didn't know what message to convey. After all, the old lady of the Avila family to me was just an impression from a photo.
"No. Let's talk after everything's settled. I'll arrange a time to visit her," I said lightly.
Although the travel ban for me had been lifted with the situation becoming clearer, Yare was in turmoil, and I was pregnant. I didn't want to make any promises to the old lady.
Trinity fell silent for a moment. "Okay."
Just as she was about to hang up, I stopped her. "Trinity… How's the situation in Yare at the moment?" I couldn't control my worry, so I asked.
"Chlo, you're concerned about Yare, aren't you?" Trinity asked.
I hesitated for a moment, chuckling. "I'm Lucille's daughter, after all. I can't pretend not to care.”
"Chlo, maybe the situation in Yare will be even worse in the future. The disease in Zydan has been eradicated, and those people are bound to shift their focus elsewhere. I'm afraid they will retaliate. I'm worried about Ross. That's why I'm going to Yare."
Trinity's words moved me. I knew it was her nature.
I fell silent for a moment, feeling somewhat speechless. "All right."
"Chlo…” she said, though she didn't continue, I understood what she meant.
However, at the moment, I felt powerless. "If I could, I wouldn't just stand by!"

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...
