Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 683

The echoing footsteps reverberated through the tunnel-like corridor, each step pounding on my heart. Anxiously, I replayed the address Clark had mentioned, sensing it wasn't a location within our borders.

I couldn't discern whether it was the cave-like environment, the doors we encountered, or perhaps everything we had experienced.

There were still many questions I wanted to ask the man we just encountered, but those were now facts of the past. There was no way to change everything.

After we emerged, Atlas gave Dylan some instructions. I had lost the excitement I felt coming in.

My mind was filled with the news that Rory was still alive. My emotions were in an exhilarated state, bordering on impatience.

On the way back, I asked Atlas, "Atlas, do you think the address he provided is real? Can we really find my father?"

While saying this, my hands clenched tightly.

Atlas reached over, holding my hand. "It's a small town on the border of a small country. The place is quite complicated. It's at the intersection of three countries and is currently the most dangerous place in the world."

Finally hearing what I least wanted to hear, I knew from the address that it must be a rough place.

"All the industries there are shady dealings, not places normal people can casually enter. So, we must develop a meticulous plan to enter that place and save him."

Atlas's words left no room for doubt. It seemed like he was not hiding anything from me.

"Rest assured, I'll set out tomorrow and personally go to get him."

"You're going by yourself?" I asked in surprise, as it was unexpected.

The car sped through the dark passage, and Atlas glanced at me, squeezing my hand. He spoke softly, "Chlo, I've been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Over these years, I've been working on multiple fronts. We have many people on the outside! Bringing you to see Clark today shatters any hope he might have. His defenses would completely collapse upon seeing you."

I looked at him, somewhat puzzled, and asked in a hushed voice, "Why?"

"Because he has consistently refused to admit everything, especially the fact that he took you away after you were injured. He refuses to acknowledge that he took you away and later lost you on the way.

“He harbored a slim hope that as long as you vanished without a trace, I wouldn't have any evidence against him, and he could continue denying it."

"He took away the injured me?" I asked Atlas, finding it hard to believe.
