Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 1197

My dad's expression remained blank, but he didn't let go of my hand. "Chloe, do you think she'll remember us?"

Honestly, his question felt a little selfish. It pierced into my heart like a knife.

After a while, I managed to ease the pain in my heart and nodded. "Yes, I’m sure she’ll remember you both."

Tears welled up in his eyes as he looked down at my face. "I'm sorry, Chloe. I’m really sorry.”

I understood the meaning behind his words. He was sorry for my lost memories.

After comforting him for a while, he gathered himself and ruffled my hair. "I never regretted saving you, Chloe. I only regret walking the wrong path and wasting precious time."

Through gritted teeth, he said, "That's why I hate Navi. We need to bring Navi and his gang to justice, whether or not we find Gemma. I'm willing to face the consequences. I could testify against them!”

"Don’t think about that right now, Dad. You should take care of your health first. Atlas and I don't have any more family, and you can't leave us with no one to rely on." I said earnestly.

"My biological father is still alive, but I don't know how he’s doing right now. They killed my biological mother. We only have you two, so you need to take care of yourselves. That’s what we really want.”

"We’re really grateful that you're both willing to accept us, and that you don't hold any grudges against us.”

"How could I hold a grudge? Atlas wants to make this house more lively so it feels like a real home.”

At this point, I remembered why I had come here.

"Dad. I have a favor to ask." I wiped my eyes, looking at him tearfully. I smiled and shook the bottle in my hand. "This is definitely not just any plant. Please help me plant it."

He pulled me up, and my legs felt a little numb.

He took the small bottle from me and looked at the seeds inside. "What is this?"

I explained where it had come from and said, "I feel like this is an extraordinary plant. I've already stored the meteorite fragment safely, but I've been hesitant to plant this on my own. I’m afraid I won't have time to take care of it, so I'm handing it over to you, Dad. I'm curious about what this thing is."

"Sure, Mom. I'll do that right away." I stood up, but before leaving, I looked at her and said, "Mom. I'll always be your daughter. No matter what happens, that will never change. You two aren't allowed to think about leaving me."

My mom suddenly choked up.

"Why are you both so sensitive? You must be getting old." I walked over, hugged her, and said, "You're precious to me, Mom. Look at how many ‘dads’ I have. You’re my only mom. How could you abandon me?”

As I teased her, she finally broke into laughter, pushing me away. "I'm willing to let you go, but I can't bear to lose Ava. She's my life..."

After saying that, she started crying.

I pretended to scold her. "Oh, come on. This is fate! Since you took me away back then, you’re responsible for taking care of me forever! Let's go, it's time for dinner."

With that, I pulled my mom out. What could be more important than this kind of family love?

But she was right. They might be willing to let me go now, but they would absolutely never part with Ava.
