Every movement on the bridge kept everyone's hearts pounding.

Dylan's expression was grim as he clenched his fists.

Meanwhile, the cops taking cover behind the car doors were on high alert.

We were on edge as the situation left us feeling helpless.

Atlas took two more steps, but the man roared, "Stop! You wouldn't want..."

His words were intermittent, indicating Atlas was trying to reason with him.I suspected

Atlas knew the man.

Meanwhile, Ava’s voice faded like she would run out of breath.

My heart ached, and I felt suffocated.However, I knew no one dared to make any sudden

moves.

Everyone feared agitating the man who might let her go.

For some reason, the man became agitated.

He repeatedly pointed the gun at Atlas, shouting angrily.

After his outburst, he threw Ava into the air, and she plummeted toward the surface.

As that happened, the man leaped from the overpass and plunged downward.

Immediately after, I heard several gunshots.

I gasped and screamed maniacally, "No!"

Simultaneously, I saw Atlas dart forward and extend his arms toward Ava.

As she was about to hit the ground, Atlas rolled a great distance upon landing.

Suddenly, Ava’s cries ceased.

By that time, Dylan had rushed toward Atlas.

I broke free from the bodyguards and yelled, desperately running toward Atlas.

I didn’t know what had happened to him and Ava or if they were injured.

Then, the bodyguards and cops also charged forward.

Before I could reach the two, I heard Ava’s cries, "Uncle Atlas! Mommy! I’m scared!"

It felt like everything had finally returned to normal at that moment.I saw Atlas holding

Ava as he rose with one hand, sheltering Ava against his chest.

His knuckles were scraped and bleeding as he embraced my daughter.I saw bloodstains

on Atlas’s white shirt at the elbow.

When I reached them, he embraced me and secured us in his arms.

He pressed his face against Ava's tear-streaked face, saying, "It's okay, my dear Ava.Don't

be afraid.Uncle Atlas is here."

Ava was still sobbing as he stroked her back, adding, "Look, Ava, I'm here.Don’t be

scared."

"Uncle Atlas? I saw you calling me when...Mo-Mommy..."

Ava's words were incoherent as she continued to sob while hugging Atlas’s neck.

Her eyes remained wide with fear, trembling uncontrollably.

Occasionally, Ava glanced back at me.

Her words were frightening, and she refused to let go of Atlas.

I pressed my face against hers, realizing she was too frightened to make sense.I cried with

her as her helplessness broke my heart.

Atlas examined her and said, "Chlo, we should go to the Atlas examined her and said,

"Chlo, we should go to the hospital."

He called Dylan and instructed him to handle the aftermath before carrying Ava away.

Atlas then pulled me along and quickly got into the off- road vehicle that had arrived

beside us.

He told the driver, "To the hospital, quickly."
