FreeNovelAt the dining table, Atlas briefed my adoptive dad too, saying, "I'll discuss the lab with you when I return. But I've already arranged for people to start building the lab, so there's no need to worry." "I'll wait for you to return. There's no rush." He seemed a bit emotional.
I noticed my mom's expression freeze for a moment. My adoptive dad might not have told her about that yet. But since Atlas was here, my mom didn't ask about it.

After breakfast, we still had tto spare before our flight. Atlas toldhe wanted to visit my father in the annex and discuss something with him.
I nodded. "I'll go with you. I'll check on Loak and Anya too, and let them know where we're going." Atlas nodded, and we headed to the annex together. He went to visit my father while I went to see Loak and Anya.
I knew Atlas must have had something important to discuss with my father, since my father would have sthoughts about our trip back to Nocturnia.
Loak and Anya were already awake. Anya was setting the breakfast from the main building on a table. When she sawenter, she greetedin surprise. "Why are you here so early, Mrs. Chloe? Are you heading to work?" "It's been a few days since I last saw you. I need to make sure you're doing well." I smiled at them.
Glancing at their breakfast table, which was identical to ours, I asked Anya, "Are you still eating well? Are you getting used to it?" "It's good. I'm used to the food here now. It's even better than it was at home." Her face lit up with joy and her voice filled with happiness. She was clever and knew how to please people.

I nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Great. You look much better." "I can walk now. The doctor said my wound is healing well, and it doesn't hurt anymore." Loak spoke a little stiffly. "I'm fine now." After he finished, he got off the bed and took a few slow but steady steps.

I smiled happily. "Be careful and don't force yourself to walk too much. Let's eat." Loak smiled and walked to the dining table himself. "Are you eating with us, Mrs. Chloe?" I told Loak that, since they had known each other before.
Also, I worried my father would be anxious when I wasn't at home. Having someone to talk to would distract him. "Alright, we'll definitely complete that task," the siblings said together.
After talking to them, I went to my father's room. He reached out his hand to me, and I quickly placed mine in his palm.
My father looked atindulgently. "Go back hwith Atlas, Chloe. But be careful. You're pregnant, after all. Be cautious in everything." I understood what he meant when he said 'be careful'.
"Take good care of her, Atlas. Do as much as you can, but don't be too eager, Celine will have to pay the price for what she did one day," My father said solemnly.
