Chapter 801
They were approaching Devil's Chasm. Logan figured it was time to eliminate the threat. He was sure the stowaway would be hiding in the storage room at this hour. He had asked the crew beforehand. There were only some tools in the room. People rarely came here. Logan pushed the door open and a foul smell wafted toward him. The smell of blood was mixed in with the moldy odor.It was a cloudy day and the sun was setting. It was also very dark out at sea, so the storage room on the bottom floor was shrouded in darkness. It was deathly quiet and only the sounds of the waves hitting the ship's hull could be heard. Logan slowly walked into the room. His intuition was telling him that the person was in the room, like a venomous snake, waiting for the best moment to strike. …The weather was growing stormier and the winds were picking up. Olivia didn't know how the wind entered her room when her door and windows were shut. It was making her feel uneasy. She raised her head to

The mask belonged to Jack. Jack squinted as he sized up the man before him. The man looked like Ethan, but Ethan had a larger frame.Jack's gaze then fell on Logan's face. It was a very plain face. Jack had never seen it before. Was he not one of the assassins sent to kill him?"Do you know me?" Yes. That was Jack's voice.Logan took a few steps forward and grabbed his collar. He said coldly, "Spit it out. Why are you here?"Jack thought the man's attitude was weird. If he was one of the assassins after his life, they would have put a bullet through his head by now. They wouldn't ask silly questions. Who was this man?Logan's kick from before had landed on Jack's wound and caused the wound to reopen. Blood started to flow and stain his shirt. However, before Logan could question Jack further, a terrified sailor yelled in the corridor, "Pirates! Pirates are here!" A cold gleam flashed in Logan's eyes. So they crossed paths with pirates after all? Those scum. Outsi
Chapter 803
Tobias stood up and left. He had no more time to explain the situation to the children. Alicia looked at Zack worriedly. However, Zack wasn't looking at her. Instead, his gaze was fixed on the chessboard, on Tobias' last move. He then moved the king forward even though it was a checkmate. No matter what he did, the outcome was already decided. "Zack …" Alicia called.Zack had heard about pirates from Jack—they were a bunch of heartless monsters in human skin. They used to rule the seas and would do anything to fill their own pockets.Naturally, they had their eyes on this ship transporting raw mineral materials. Zack knew that they were in big trouble. He knew of the dangers but he didn't have the capability to neutralize them. All he could do was try to find Jack as soon as possible and have him bring them away before chaos ensued. He was only three years old, but he already knew the meaning of life and death. The two children didn't know why they were trying so hard to

Olivia looked at her watch. Logan would usually bring her some fruits at this hour. Where was he? She could see raindrops falling on the window under the dim yellow lights. It was raining. Olivia hated the rain. As she lied in bed, she had no desire to sleep at all. So she put on some headphones and tried to space out. After a while, she abruptly opened her eyes when the ship started to violently tremble. Something was wrong! Was it pirates?Olivia quickly took off her headphones. She started to hear the chaos happening outside. Something was very wrong. Olivia was a cautious person. Since she didn't know what was going on, she didn't dare to run around aimlessly. So she stayed put and waited for Logan to come to her.But Logan didn't come rushing in like she thought he would. Unable to suppress the anxiety anymore, Olivia decided to get out of her room. Her attention wasn't drawn to the ship's burning parts. Instead, a child's voice attracted her gaze. "Help!

Olivia felt her blood freeze in her veins when Alicia fell.How could that happen? She was about to pull Alicia to safety. Why was Fate so cruel to her? Then, the little boy beside her let out a heart-wrenching scream, "Alicia!" Olivia turned to look at the boy. She was stunned by his face, which resembled her own. A thought crept into Olivia's mind and she had to confirm her suspicions. When the thought appeared, Olivia could no longer stop herself. She climbed over the railing and jumped. Her mind was filled with memories of three years ago when she was looking at the ultrasound images of the babies in her womb. She had a boy and a girl in there.The girl looked like Ethan. She was active and loved to smile. On the other hand, the boy's features resembled hers and he was well-behaved. Were these her kids? Olivia didn't even have the time to bask in the joy of being reunited with her children. She was too consumed by the pain of seeing her baby girl fall into the sea
Chapter 806
Alicia had already swallowed a few mouthfuls of seawater. Her body was shivering from the extreme fear she was feeling. "Don't be afraid. Mom's here to save you," Olivia tried to calm her down. Alicia was still just a child, after all. Not to mention, the situation on the ship was very chaotic. The pirate ship was also approaching and Tobias had already ordered his sailors to return fire. Alicia's life was hanging by a thread. Scared out of her mind, she started to struggle. Olivia was already using every bit of her strength to keep Alicia above the water. But the struggling made it hard for her to keep it up and her stamina was quickly depleting. The waves were intense and Olivia herself had swallowed a few mouthfuls of seawater, but she was still trying her best to keep Alicia afloat. She was afraid that Alicia would choke on the water. Olivia felt like her strength was leaving her. As she felt her body get heavier and heavier, she cursed inwardly. She knew that if thi

Logan had just gotten Olivia out of the water. He had a towel draped around him and hadn't even changed out of his wet clothes yet. However, Olivia was already asking about Alicia. Her lips had turned blue from the cold and her face was very pale. "Ms. Fordham. We've been saved. The little girl has been sent to one of the military ships. A doctor is performing some checks on her. You should get changed first, or you might catch a cold," Logan said."No. I want to see her." Olivia frantically got out of bed and ran out of the room barefooted.The men she saw in the corridor were all wearing uniforms and armed. Olivia immediately felt intimidated. She finally realized that she wasn't on the cargo ship anymore. She was on a military naval ship. Everyone's gaze fell on her when she stepped out of her room. Olivia awkwardly froze in her tracks and didn't know what to do under all the pressure and anxiety she was feeling. Although they simply looked at her without speaking up

Logan replied slowly, "I told him your name when we were rescued, Ms. Fordham.""Yes, it's … Mr. Irving who told me. I'll leave you alone for now," the doctor replied.For some reason, Olivia felt like the doctor was running away. He had left the room a little too urgently. "Ms. Fordham, you should get changed. I'll bring you the warm milk," Logan said calmly."Alright."Olivia was alone in the room with Alicia. She carefully took off Alicia's clothes. Alicia looked as tall as other kids her age and there were no signs of a premature birth. Her body was also pale and clean. There were only minor scratches on her hands. It was clear that Jack took good care of the children. Olivia wrapped Alicia in a large men's shirt. Then, she changed out of her wet clothes herself. Olivia was given the same shirt as Alicia, which covered her up to her upper thigh. Then, she put on the men's trousers. It was loose, but it was still better than nothing. After a few minutes, Logan knoc
