While Carmel and Rachel were talking, Frank had quietly untied the bomb on Carmel's body.
Frank felt guilty and distressed for his daughter, especially when he knew that Carmel had suffered a lot since leaving home. He was feeling ill at ease.
Perhaps this was God's punishment for the Liu family. He really wanted to leave such family with his wife and children if he could. He would not let his daughter bear everything no matter how hard it was.
Looking at the discomfort in Carmel's eyes, Frank whispered, "Carmel, do whatever you want. I support you."
Carmel was slightly stunned.
She could feel his fatherly love when she came back, and she was aware of her mother's guilt and care for her. However, she couldn't be emotional or moved by their gestures.
They had done tons of evil and unforgivable things.
Therefore, Carmel did not look at Frank in the eyes.
She was afraid that she would be soft-hearted.
Seeing his daughter pretending to be strong and indifferent, Frank couldn't help feeling more uncomfortable.
"You can leave now. I'll have a good talk with the family. Don't worry. We'll give an explanation for our misdeeds towards the country."
"She can't go! If she goes out, our Liu Family will be finished!"
Rachel suddenly became impatient and anxious.
Frank looked at her coldly, with a dignified demeanor.
"Come on here, take Ms. Liu away."
As soon as Frank finished speaking, the guards came in and directly surrounded them.
Isaias's face suddenly became terrible.
"Are you crazy? How dare you go against your own family?"
"Let my daughter go!"
Frank's face was very pale.
Carmel suddenly froze.
"You..."
"Just leave. Your mom is outside. She has been in poor health recently. Please help me check on her."
Frank said softly.
Carmel suddenly found that the bomb tied to her body had fallen into Frank's hands.
When did this happen?
She did not notice Frank's action.
Suddenly, Carmel had a bad feeling.
She didn't know why she felt so uneasy, but when she wanted to grab the bomb, she was dodged by Frank.
"Don't make trouble. It's dangerous to play with this thing."
Frank was still smiling, but Carmel's eyes suddenly became a little teary.
"Dad, what are you going to do?"
This was the first time that she had sincerely addressed him as her father.
Frank felt that his life was complete.
"What can I do? Just leave quickly."
Carmel was dragged out by someone.
