Olivia would feel much better staying on the island.She didn't want to leave for the time being, no matter what reason it was.She watched as the sky turned from dark to bright. As the sun rose, Olivia strolled around the island.Everyone was nice to her. They enthusiastically invited her into their homes for breakfast. They also thanked her for delivering some supplies.Jerry went out even earlier than Olivia. He sat by the beach as he doodled with the art supplies she bought.His youthful and handsome face was filled with excitement. "Ms. Olivia, how's this?"He had never formally learned to draw before, but he was talented beyond belief.His black and white drawings in the past were amazing enough. So now that he could color them, they looked even better.Olivia nodded, feeling comforted. "You draw very well."If such talent could be coupled with more knowledge, Jerry would be able to achieve big things in the future."You taught me well, Ms. Olivia. Will you keep staying
Jack swiftly led her into the forest. There was a treehouse in the forest, which Jerry showed her two days ago.Jack swept the fallen leaves away. Then, he led her into the underground secret base.It was completely dark underground, so Jack lit an oil lamp. The warm glow brightened up the whole base. When Olivia saw the things stored there, she was shocked."Are these all yours?" she asked, pointing at the firearms and weapons hanging on the wall.The man responded in a low voice without explaining too much. Grabbing a small handgun, he placed it in Olivia's hand."The truth always sides with the strong. No matter what happens in the future, you need a weapon to protect yourself."Touching the heavy gun, Olivia had a nervous look on her face. She gulped. "You're giving this to me?"Under the mask, Jack's dark eyes gleamed earnestly. He said in a cold voice, "If you can't escape, I hope that it'll be your final way out."He pointed the gun at his chest. "Remember this spot and
"Yes, that's it. Be more determined. If you don't have the resolve, you'll still be the one getting hurt next time. Remember your past."With a bang, Olivia fired the gun. Her arms turned numb. She wasn't used to the strong recoil yet.Even though she didn't hit the bullseye, she managed to hit the target."Well done. You have to believe in yourself."Jack stood behind her again, adjusting her posture. Then, he said softly in her ear, "Olivia, may you be your own sun in the future."You won't need to borrow light from anyone else. You were born with wings, so you should be soaring in the sky. Don't stay on the ground any further."Olivia looked at the target in the distance. She pretended that it was her current self.She didn't know when it started, but her brilliant self had turned meek. She couldn't do anything but be controlled by others.Not just Ethan, but even Olivia herself hated what she looked like right now.Shooting forward, the bullet hit the bullseye."See? This
A naked and strong body came into view. Jack's skin was a little darker than Ethan's, and it was genuinely tanned.His shoulders were broad, and his waist was slim. The muscles on his chest were well-defined. Like Ethan, there were some scars on his body as well.The water droplets rolled down his well-defined abs. The man was full of masculine charm.He held a cage in his arms. Behind him, the sun shone on the sea below, creating glowing ripples of light.Even though she couldn't see his face, she could sense the joy coming from his thin face."It's a huge harvest."Jack stepped onto shore with his bare feet. The seawater streamed down the legs of his combat pants. With his movements, his muscles were displayed clearly.Olivia couldn't help but look away. "I'll light a fire to roast the fish with.""Okay, then I'll gut the fish. We're in luck. We caught some crabs too."Olivia gathered some sticks and dried wood. She hastily brought the firewood back, but her stomach flipped.
"You haven't heard, have you? There have been helicopters flying around these parts for the past few days. Everyone in the helicopters wears black clothes and sunglasses. It's just like what they show on TV."Jack knew that something was wrong. Ethan must have come looking for Olivia.Hastily entering a small pharmacy, he bought the stuff they needed. Tom rushed in. "Bad news, Jack. The helicopters took off. They seem to be headed for our island."Taking the items, Jack said with a cold expression, "Hurry. We have to get there before they do."Tom looked at the helicopters above their heads. He sullenly gritted his teeth."Damn, it's much faster to fly than to go by sea. They've gotten so much farther ahead of us in such a short amount of time! Jack, hurry up and—"Tom wanted to urge Jack to hurry up, but he noticed that Jack was trying so hard to start the engine that it smoked.The boat leaped across the sea, sending huge splashes as it went. The speedboat was at its limit.J
Olivia finally knew why Ethan was so confident that he would find her. Even though Connor couldn't speak, he wasn't a fool. He had lived on this island for a week, so he recognized it!Thus, Ethan didn't have to waste his time searching every island. He only had to find the island that Connor reacted the most strongly to.Just like right now. Even before Connor got out of the helicopter, he waved his limbs excitedly. He kept mumbling, "Mama, Mama, Jerry, kitty …"He said all the words he knew.Carrying Connor in one arm, Ethan smiled coldly. "Looks like this is the place."Everyone stood ready for action. The other party had used firearms before, so they didn't dare take it too lightly.Kelvin had also stopped smiling like he usually did. He said something over the communicator. Soon, warships appeared on the surface of the sea. They proceeded to surround the island.Snipers were positioned high above. Other members of the special forces slid from the ropes of the helicopters in
Ethan opened the wooden door. The room had a simple layout, and all the furniture was made of wood.There was a small bed in the room, and a drawing board was placed next to it.The picture showed cherry trees under the moonlight. The island looked especially quiet in the moon's glow.The artist was extremely skilled. From a glance, Ethan could tell that Olivia had drawn the picture.He was overjoyed when he confirmed it. He had finally found her.There was also a thick pile of drawings at the side. Ethan calmly looked through them.A picture showed fishermen returning in the evening light. Smiles filled the faces of the women and children.There was a youth weaving straw hats while another painted in the morning sunlight. A man with a metal mask leaned against a cherry tree.Perhaps Olivia didn't mean anything when she drew it. But to Ethan, there was another meaning to this drawing.This was the man who took her away.Ethan had a cold air about him. He walked up to Martha w
Olivia looked up at him. The sunlight shone on his body, but there was no warmth in his eyes.Instead, his eyes were filled with rage, mockery, and disdain."What exactly do you want me to do, Ethan? Do I not deserve my own life anymore?"They were already divorced, but this man only got even more possessive of her. His possessiveness was so serious that it was almost perverted.Ethan's gaze fell upon the large hand gripping Olivia's wrist. When Jack noticed Ethan looking, he subconsciously stood in front of Olivia.Their gazes met. Jack didn't seem scared at all when he looked at Ethan. "You're already divorced. She doesn't want to go with you."Jack's movements and words made Ethan mad.Ethan's eyes were dark as he looked at Jack. There was an upset expression on his face.Even the air around him seemed restless. The sea breeze passed by, rustling Olivia's hair, which had grown a little longer.She was pale in the face as she hid behind the man. Even though Jack had a decent
