      const readNumberListe = async () => {
        const data = await fetch("action.php?readNumberListe=1", {
          method: "GET",
        });
        const response = await data.json();// the response is 5 for exepmle 
        var number = response.number_parent ; 
        console.log(number) ; // i get 5 in the console 
    
      };
      readNumberListe();

// but i want to use or print 'number' here
