Everly's face paled when she heard Henry's voice. She quickly took off the blindfold. The man standing before her was none other than Henry. She stuttered, "W-WWhy … are y-you here?"Henry smiled. "I've been missing you every day you've been gone, Ms. Hilton. It seems like you're having a good time on the island. Have you forgotten about me?"The maids read the situation and quickly left. The two children didn't know what was going on. They stared at Henry with their bright, round eyes. Under the innocent gaze of the children, Henry had no choice but to suppress his impatience and let go of Everly. "You're Zack, and you're Alicia, right?"The two children looked at him with docile expressions. Suddenly, Alicia blurted out, "Dad?"Henry was amused. He crouched and picked her up. She was like a cute kitten looking for its parent. "Dear child, I'm not your dad. Don't be mistaken."Disappointment flashed in Alicia's eyes. Where was their father?Henry played with Alicia for a

Everly pursed her lips. "That's not funny at all. What should we do, Liv? His appearance means our plan …"Henry's voice came from behind her. "Your plan? What plan? What have you been plotting behind my back, Ms. Hilton?"Everly had the urge to slap herself. She almost exposed their plan to Henry. Olivia was able to remain calm. She took off her face mask and set down her tools. Then, she removed the scrubs and left the operating room. "It's nothing. I'm not sure if Everly means the plan to stab you in your sleep or the one to poison you. She comes up with hundreds of plans like these every day." Everly sighed in relief. Then, she signaled at Olivia with her eyes as if telling her she did a good job. They had different personalities. Olivia was calm and controlled, while Everly was straightforward and wild. Henry smiled. "You're so cheeky. Mrs. Miller here is way more composed than you."Olivia retorted calmly, "Mr. Synder, you should already know I'm divorced. You should

Olivia washed her hands and walked out of the dissecting room. The two children went up to her. "Mom, Mister …""I know. Go play."There was a hint of worry in Olivia's eyes. She felt like Henry's appearance wasn't a coincidence. Since her departure, Ethan never showed up again. There wasn't any news of him either. As it drew closer to the day they were to leave the island, the unease she felt grew. Ethan was only willing to let her go because she was on this island. But she was still right under his nose. He would never let her leave if he knew she was going off on her own. Olivia's gaze fell on the door to Everly's room. She didn't know if Henry would take Everly away. If Everly went back with Henry, her life would be even worse than what Olivia had been through. At least Ethan loved her and only her despite everything he did. Henry was different. Everly was just a toy to him. He would never marry her. Even if they had a child together, Everly would only be a mistress,

Henry was taken aback. He couldn't believe Everly would actually say that. Even when she threw fits at the hospital previously, she never talked about ending things. Henry frowned slightly. "Say that one more time."Everly lowered her head and fiddled with her nails. "I said I'm tired of this. Let's end it."The arm around her waist suddenly pulled her closer into his embrace. Henry said through gritted teeth, "I'll give you one chance to take that back.""Mr. Synder, I've thought things through. I don't want a relationship like this.""You don't want a relationship like this?" Henry sneered as he reached out to tilt Everly's chin upward. "Do you actually want to be the official Mrs. Synder?"Looking at his mocking gaze and listening to his icy tone, Everly felt relieved that she didn't say that. She would just be making a fool of herself. "That's not it. I just want to quit. The agreement we signed was for three years. There are only a few more months left. It'll be alm

Everly had plans to leave and wanted to be prepared. She had been moving her money in secret. She would move small amounts every time. She would also cash the money out through a third party or transfer some to her parents. Her savings account was shrinking because she was afraid Henry would freeze the account in a fit of rage. Henry was generous. He transferred three million dollars to Olivia. Everly smiled bitterly. She was worth so much money. Henry paid three million dollars to spend one night with her. Henry had always had a high sex drive. He had already taken her body measurements when he promoted her. He even tested her for a bit before making a move on her. He looked like a gentleman on the surface, but only Everly knew how vulgar he actually was. He was like the devil. Henry hadn't done it with her ever since she got pregnant. So, it had been several months. He placed her on the bed anxiously. Everly was a little uneasy. "I haven't showered …""You can do t

Everly was extra cooperative. So much so that it made Henry suspicious, but he couldn't put his finger on what was wrong. They only got out of bed for lunch in the afternoon. Henry stayed with her for the entire afternoon. He had never felt so peaceful before. He finally left after his assistant urged him repeatedly to do so. Everly even went to see him off. She hugged him in front of the helicopter and pretended like she didn't want him to leave. "When are you coming to see me again?""Why? Are you already missing me before I'm gone? Didn't I satisfy you last night?" Henry smiled. Everly didn't understand how a man who looked so gentlemanly could say something like that. But it was not her first day with him.Henry was different from Ethan, who adhered to rules very strictly. Henry could even feel her thigh up when he was talking business with someone if he felt like it. "Henry, will you miss me after you leave?" Everly asked suddenly. Henry thought she was just acting

After a round of communications, they decided to leave that very night. There were a total of 352 security cameras on the island. Olivia had marked them down some time ago. It wouldn't be hard for her to avoid all of them. She reached the coastline under the hill with ease while bringing her children along. When the sea breeze blew toward them, Everly shuddered. This was where Olivia buried the bodies she dissected. There were at least 30 to 50 bodies buried in the area. Even the wind felt eerily chilly to her. She also felt a chill go down her spine. For that reason, most of the maids never came here. It was the perfect spot for running away. Everly lowered her voice and said, "I'm starting to think you did this on purpose. You've become very cunning, Liv.""I've failed too many times. I really don't want to fail this time.""Mom, where are we going?""Don't you miss your godfather? We're going to meet him now." Jack was already waiting for them. The children ran toward

Ethan's entire body was trembling. The image of Kurt's death appeared in his mind again. The blood that flowed from his chest had covered Ethan's hands and eyes. Impossible! "It c-can't be Kurt. He died in my arms. I'm sure of that."The bullet hit Kurt in his heart. He was a dead man. Ethan stared at the mask and said, "It's Jack. If my speculation is correct, Kurt had a twin brother. He must be Kurt's twin.""Oh my god. What a weird turn of events. Kurt actually had a brother? Why didn't we know about that?""That's a problem for the Stone family. Mobilize the men on the island. Stop them!" Ethan muttered, "I'm sorry, Liv."He had planned to let her go, but Jack's identity was too mysterious. If he was really Kurt's brother, Ethan couldn't just let him roam freely. Suddenly, the alarm on the island started blaring. Everly started to feel nervous. She almost fell off the boat. She had an anxious expression on her face. "How did they realize we're missing so quickly?

As soon as the boat reached shore, Jack quickly took the children from Olivia and said urgently, "Quick! Follow me!"Olivia held Everly's hand as they got on the island. They followed Jack to a tunnel that he had dug beforehand. "Although they won't be able to find us for now, we can't just stay hidden down here. Won't we be trapped when they surround the island?"Jack's forehead was covered in sweat. He said in a deep voice, "If my calculations are correct, they'll have the people from one helicopter come to look for us while the other helicopter remains on standby. This type of helicopter only has enough fuel for three hours of flight."It'll take them some time to get people to surround the island. With the people they have on the island now, it'd be impossible to find us in the darkness like this. We just need to wait for two hours."Everly looked at him with admiration. "What's your name, Mister? You're so smart. You've thought of everything.""Jack," he replied emotionle

The two children came over to look at Olivia with tender expressions on their faces. "Mom!""I …"Olivia panted softly as she lay in Everly's arms. It was like she was completely exhausted. Everly's expression turned grave. "Liv, you've never been nauseous from dissecting before. Just out of curiosity, you haven't been sleeping with Ethan, right? Your symptoms … seem to indicate you're pregnant."Olivia's expression froze. She had taken care of Ethan a few days ago, but they didn't actually do it. And the time doesn't match. Unless …She thought about that night back on the cruise ship. She had sex with Logan for the entire night. She had Joshua buy morning-after pills for her the next day when they arrived in Aldenvine. She couldn't have gotten pregnant from that. "No, I can't be pregnant. I took the pills." Olivia's hands were shaking. "Pills? Liv, you do know that morning-after pills aren't 100% effective, right? Have you had your period yet?"Olivia did some quick calc
