When Ethan rushed back to the military naval ship, Olivia was already in a feverish daze. Her body was burning up, yet she murmured that she was cold. "Sir, I've already administered some medications for Ms. Fordham. But her circumstances are unique. It would be dangerous if this fever doesn't go down soon," the doctor said nervously.Fortunately, the ship was well-stocked with medical supplies too.Ethan stayed by Olivia's side, but he could only wait for her fever to subside by itself. The sky was still gray before dawn arrived. It was also misty outside, and the roaring of the sea could be heard clearly. Ethan lay down beside Olivia while fully dressed and gazed at her tenderly. They had been together every day for quite some time, but he had to pretend to be someone else. He didn't even dare to look her in the eye. He even raised her suspicions a few times. It was a good thing that he was able to keep calm and avoid blowing his cover. He reached out to caress Olivia's
At that moment, someone knocked on the door. It was a very faint sound, but it brought Ethan back to his senses. He quickly moved away from Olivia. What was he doing? Why did he take advantage of Olivia while she was asleep? If Olivia woke up, he wouldn't be able to explain his actions to her. Ethan quickly went to the door and said nervously, "What's up?"Kelvin rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Was he seeing things? He thought he saw Ethan blush. "About that … The doctor asked me to bring these meds for Mrs. Miller's fever," Kelvin said."Okay." Ethan silently took the meds. Then, he asked, "Has the person who escaped been caught yet?""The weather conditions at sea at night are too harsh. We can't send out the drones. So we haven't located him yet. Don't worry. He's taking the young master with him. He couldn't possibly have gotten too far away.""Okay. Keep me posted.""Understood."Ethan closed the door and went back to Olivia's side. She didn't show any signs of wakin
It was too hard for a child like Alicia to understand the complicated emotions of an adult. Her eyes were filled with confusion.Ethan was still very emotional. "Dear child, you must have endured a lot of hardships, right?" he asked.Hardship? Alicia didn't know what that was. All she knew was that she was happy as long as she was with her brother and father. "Are you hungry?" Ethan asked as he quickly ordered some people to bring over some food. Alicia's eyes lit up as she looked at the food before her. However, her eyes dimmed as she was about to eat. "Zack," she said.Ethan patted her head. "Don't worry. I've sent people to look for your brother. You'll be able to see him soon. For now, eat. Your brother will also get his share when we find him."Ethan could tell Alicia was starving, but she didn't eat in a hurry. It was like she was born to be elegant. Alicia may have looked like him, but her actions carried her mother's elegance. The more Ethan looked at Alicia, th
Olivia instantly became anxious. She grabbed Ethan's sleeve and asked, "What did you say? He was taken? Where was he taken to?""Calm down, Ms. Fordham. I'll tell you what happened." Ethan then took out the surveillance footage and showed it to her. "Look here. This was the man who took Zack. But from the looks of it, he willingly went with the man. I think he knows the man."Olivia calmed down after she heard that. She looked at the video repeatedly. The video might be fuzzy, but it did show that Zack willingly went with the man. The man who took him was none other than Jack. Olivia relaxed a little when she realized that Jack was the one who took Zack. After all, the situation on the ship had been very chaotic. Jack didn't even know she was on board. If he had jumped into the sea to save Alicia, she would have lost both of her children. Olivia was also sure Jack saw someone jump into the ocean to save Alicia. He had snuck onto the ship to begin with. Things would be
Blood ties were inseverable. Even if Alicia had never seen Olivia before, she recognized her mother immediately. In the pictures Jack showed her, Olivia had a warm smile, and she had hair. Olivia was also slim and frail at the moment, but Alicia could tell she was her mother. Olivia's reaction was similar to Ethan's. She hugged Alicia tightly and couldn't stop crying tears of joy from the reunion. With Alicia in her arms, Olivia recalled all the struggles she had gone through on the day she was born. She thought she would never see her children again.But her baby had grown into a fine young lady. How could she not be moved to tears? Alicia was puzzled. The handsome man had just hugged her and cried a few days ago. Why was her mother crying too? She didn't understand. Alicia wiped Olivia's tears away gently and even blew on her eyes. "Don't cry, she said.In the past, Jack would blow on her wounds whenever she was hurt. Then she'd stop crying. Olivia raised her hands to
Olivia tightened her arms around Alicia when she thought about how she brought misfortune to the people around her. Now that she had finally found her child, she swore to protect her no matter the cost. Olivia was relieved to know that both her children were still alive. The next thing she needed to do was nurse herself back to health. Then, she would try to uncover the truth in secret. As long as the people after her weren't found, she had to live her life on the run. If she ever got discovered, her children would be in danger too. She wasn't the one in the wrong. Why was she the one forced into hiding?She was an innocent woman. Why should she hide her children away their whole lives? Why were they forced to live like sewer rats? The mastermind behind it all was to blame. They caused her marriage to fall apart, destroyed her family, and separated her from her children. They were the reason Olivia lost everything. Olivia would never forget witnessing Mona's death befo
Olivia frowned. She was still worried about Zack. Although Jack was with him, they had left in a rush. Not to mention, it had been raining. Were they okay?But Olivia knew that worrying didn't help. As things were, she couldn't contact Jack in the foreseeable future even if she went back to Arlandia. "Alright. I'll wait for a little longer then." She agreed.Alicia was with her, so Jack would definitely reach out to her. But the most important thing she needed to do now was to nurse herself back to health. Alicia was a very well-behaved child. She never complained and wasn't a picky eater. She had no bad habits that were typically seen in children her age. Olivia was happy every day she was with Alicia, but she also felt sad for her. The reason why a child would be so well-behaved was because she had been through a lot of hardships. Why else would a child be so obedient? Children who have been through a lot are usually the obedient ones. Olivia wasn't blaming Jack. She
Olivia's thoughts drifted far away. Her mother left her at a young age and she grew up in a single-parent family. Her father had been nothing but good to her. He gave her the best life and education he could. He taught her how to be generous, kind, and cheerful.But there were a lot of things that Jeff couldn't make up for, like the family sports days at school. There were a lot of activities that required both parents to complete together. Ever since Olivia was young, she has been envious of other people who had their mothers to hold their hands, cook them meals, and pick out their clothes. She always envied other people who had their mothers, no matter how outstanding she already was. Olivia swore she would take good care of her children when she had them. She would give them all the love she could and never let them grow up in a single-parent family. Then, she fell in love with Ethan at first sight. Initially, the feeling was mutual. Olivia felt like he was a man she
