He urgently called out to me, "Chloe, I miss Ava."
This sentence made me both sad and angry.
I turned slowly and looked at Matthew on the bed with a sense of detachment. "Then you need to act like a man even more. Your previous actions have already had a huge impact on her. She's been mocked and beaten in kindergarten, and her injuries haven't healed yet. Reflect on what you've brought to her."
I paused for a moment. "You need to be a real man so she can be proud of you one day. You still have a lot to do.”
I looked at Atlas, who had been by my side all along. At this moment, I was truly moved. He was my pillar and support. It was this man who carried all the burden for Ava and I.
"Atlas, let's go," I whispered softly.
Atlas nodded, held my hand, and we walked out together. I heard a sobbing sound behind me, followed by loud wailing.
The two cops rushed in, afraid that he might do something again.
Once outside the ward, I suddenly felt much lighter. During breakfast, I forced a smile, not wanting Atlas to know about my inner struggles. But at this moment, having said everything that needed, I felt much relieved.
From any perspective, whether it was regarding the Murphy family or Matthew, I had done my best.
I had also fulfilled the last wish of the Grace.
Seeing me silent and not speaking, fearing that I still carried a burden, Atlas tightened his arm and said softly, "It's been several days since you last saw Lauren, right? Do you want to go see her?"
I instantly felt happy and said, "Let's go."
When we arrived at Lauren's room, she was flipping through her phone. Seeing the two of us coming together, she looked puzzled. "Don't you two have to work?"
I quickly ran to her bed. "We came to see Matthew. Why didn't you get out of bed today? How about... I accompany you to the garden downstairs for some fresh air?"

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...
