Irene rested her head on Keith's shoulder. Tears welled up in her eyes as she watched Olivia walk up the ship. "For some reason, I just feel like crying. I feel like Olivia has suffered too much. She left as things were just starting to get better. "And now she will be spending so much time at sea. What if … What if something happens to her at sea?" Keith wrapped his arm around her shoulder and comforted her."Everything will be fine. Tobias has sailed for more than 20 years without any incident. Olivia might have suffered a lot, but her luck isn't that bad. "I've worked as a doctor for so many years. Fortune had to have smiled on her for her to survive what she had gone through. "She has already been through so much. Things will get better for her. Every dog has its day, after all.""I hope so. I don't understand why she would go back to Aldenvine at the risk of being discovered. It's much safer here, far away from Ethan." Irene sighed. "She must have something important

The food for dinner was on the sour side. Olivia didn't like that but took a few bites of everything. In the following days, there were more sour foods in the meals. She couldn't take it anymore. She called Logan over and said, "There have been too many sour dishes recently. I'm a little tired of them.""Alright, Ms. Fordham. What do you prefer? I'll note it down and tell the kitchen."Olivia observed his expressions carefully. But his mannerisms and movements didn't resemble Ethan at all. Even if Ethan were the only one who knew her so well, he wouldn't drop everything to stay by her side. Besides, he was a proud man. He wouldn't be so subservient.Olivia had observed Logan for a few days but found nothing suspicious. She started to relax and stopped distancing herself from Logan. The days out at sea were indeed dull. Even if the view was great, it got old after an extended period of time. Olivia was sitting on the deck. The sunset was most beautiful at this hour. The

Olivia shook her head. "We should keep things simple and just stay on the ship."Logan hesitated before saying, "Ms. Fordham, may I ask why you're taking such a risk just to get back to Arlandia? "You aren't exactly in the best of health, and I heard you don't have any relatives there. Why would you want to go back?""Yeah. I have some things I need to do."Olivia was tight-lipped. She didn't reveal anything to him. Logan respected that and didn't ask any more questions. "You should get some rest, then."It would take around half a day for the ship to dock, resupply, and get maintenance work done. Olivia didn't even get off the ship. She didn't even leave her room.She marked her calendar with a red pen. She was getting closer to Aldenvine. She would be able to see her children after some more time. After a while, a sailor came to update her about the situation. "Ms. Fordham, I'm sorry. There's some problem with the ship. Technicians are looking into it, but we won't be ab

Olivia opened her eyes and sat up abruptly. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she was suddenly jolted awake. She instinctively scanned her surroundings. There weren't any noises, and even the sea was calm. She didn't know what caused her to wake. It was late. Olivia opened the door and saw Logan, who was smoking at a distance. She had never seen Logan smoke before. But he was leaning on the railing and smoking at that very moment. The lighting in the corridor was dim. She could barely make out his face. His body was also shrouded in darkness. Only his fingers holding the lit cigarette were visible. His demeanor was completely different from his usual self. He was like the new moon shrouded in the dark, exuding a sense of mystery. As soon as he saw Olivia, he flicked the cigarette into the ocean. He approached her and asked, "What's wrong, Ms. Fordham? Can't sleep?"When he stepped into the light, he still had the harmless expression that he always wore. Olivia thou

The kitchen was on a different floor. The ship didn't carry any livestock onboard. There shouldn't be blood for no reason. Since shots were fired last night, Logan was extra cautious. He wouldn't allow anyone the chance to harm Olivia. He went to the monitoring room after he made breakfast for Olivia. He would get his answers there. Ruben, who was supposed to be watching the screens, dozed off. Logan operated the device with ease to check the feed from 30 minutes ago. He typed on the keyboard quickly but noticed that something was wrong with the surveillance system. He couldn't find the footage he was looking for. Someone had tampered with the system. Seems like someone had snuck onboard. Tobias sent people to look for the children's parents for an entire day. None of the families on the island were missing two children. What kind of parent would leave their children badly hurt next to a cliff in the middle of the night?No matter how much he asked, the children didn
