Chapter 428
I watched as Atlas fearlessly approached the man on the bridge.
My sobs and movements suddenly stopped.I was in disbelief, wondering why Atlas would walk ahead like that.I understood Atlas’s intentions when he gestured for the others to stop. I broke down again and tearfully told Dylan, “No, don’t! Tell Atlas to come back! Dylan, stop him!”
Upon hearing my cries, Dylan handed me to two nearby bodyguards.
“Protect Ms.Chloe.”
As he rushed toward Atlas, two gunshots sounded, the bullets hitting the ground near Dylan.I faintly heard the burly man shouting, “Stay back!”
He warned Dylan not to approach but allowed Atlas to go ahead.
I watched Atlas’s determined and steady figure stride toward the burly man as the latter pointed his gun at Atlas.
Dylan advanced again, and another gunshot sounded.
Atlas signaled Dylan not to come closer, and I was terrified.
My beloved daughter was on the bridge, and so was Atlas.I couldn’t bear the thought of losing either.
I wanted to save Ava but couldn’t bear to watch Atlas put himself in danger.
Still, there was no better solution at this critical moment.
“Atlas! Ava!”
I screamed heart-wrenchingly.
Dylan then gave a command, and all vehicles turned on their headlights.
The helicopters ascended further and hovered on the other side of the bridge.
Everything seemed to fall silent as all lights shined on the burly man.
It seemed Dylan wanted to listen to Atlas and the burly man’s conversation.
The burly man didn’t seem to care, as if he knew he would die soon.
Suddenly, another gunshot sounded as Atlas approached the man, causing everyone to shudder.
I saw a wisp of smoke near Atlas’s feet, indicating the man had fired at the ground.
However, Atlas didn’t stop while I forgot to breathe.
The man roared, “Stop! Or else she’ll…”
His right hand dropped as his words echoed, causing Ava to plummet.
Atlas grew tense, and I couldn’t see his expression.
Still, his recent actions assured me he was determined to prevent Ava from facing harm.
Ava cried until she almost ran out of breath.
It took hera while to regain her composure as she called out, “Uncle Atlas!”
I felt my heart tearing into a million pieces.I couldn’t breathe, blink, or say anything.I could only clench the bodyguard’s arm at that moment.
Meanwhile, Dylan stood at the bridgehead and clenched his fists.
“Please, return the child to me,”
Atlas spoke, but the distance was too great, and the noise from the helicopter made it hard to discern their conversation.
The burly man looked up and laughed maniacally.
He was arrogant, aware that Atlas’s people wouldn’t dare to make a move against him.
Even though snipers were in position, they could do nothing because Ava was with him.
Moreover, Atlas didn’t hesitate to save my daughter, so no one could afford to take him lightly.
I didn’t know why Atlas was so confident he would be safe.
I feared the worst as Atlas stood firm.
I couldn’t hear what he was saying and almost lost control.
Atlas and the burly man were ina standoff as Ava’s crying became hoarse and feeble.
The burly man now stood over a rushing river.
The consequences would be unimaginable if he couldn’t hold on or deliberately let go of Ava.
I feared I might never see my precious daughter again.
My mind went blank as I stared at the burly man and my daughter.
