The little boy sensed her fear, and he quickly wrapped his arms around her.

He said, "Don't be afraid, Alicia."

He covered the little girl's ears and tried his best to comfort her.

The girl wasn't as brave as him, after all. Tears started to stream down her face when she thought about her dad ending up like the cat.

She was scared. Terrified.

Her dad and brother were the only people she had left in the world. What would they do if their dad died?

The breeze blew on the sea, and the waves crashed against the reef. They could hear the sounds clearly.

Then, they heard more and more people running around them.

The girl bit down on her lip. She didn't dare to make a sound.

Back on the cargo ship, Logan sprung to his feet when he heard the gunshots. He quickly went to the side of the ship to look at what was going on.

Olivia heard the gunshots, too. She started to feel nervous even though she felt like the gunshots were far away.

"What happened?"

Logan said with a seriou

    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

    There were some scrapes on the boy's face. His fingers were also riddled with scratches. Tobias felt bad when he saw such a tiny hand being so badly hurt. The boy didn't squirm when he was applying medication on him. Tears were welling up in his eyes, but he held them back.Tobias stared at the boy. He felt like the boy looked familiar like he resembled someone he knew. After he cleaned the children up, he tried asking some more questions, but they didn't respond. The girl started to nod off after she had her fill of food. She fell asleep after a few minutes. The boy was visibly tired, too, but he perked himself up and stared at Tobias. "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. What is your name? Did you get split up with your parents?"The boy remained silent. He didn't want to reveal anything about himself. Tobias sighed. "I've never seen such a cautious little kid. Alright, I won't ask any more questions. "Rest if you're tired. We'll be here for one more day. I'll help

    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

    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

    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

    Warren's pale face showed a hint of pleading. "Olivia, we've gotten to know each other better in the past two years. Have you ever loved me?"Hatred was evident in Olivia's cold eyes. "Never. I pray for your death every single second of my life.""I knew it." He smiled at that embittering answer. Karma had always been there. Another sound of a gunshot surprised the birds. A pool of blood splashed over the flowers. Warren stared at the picture on the gravestone. "Mona, I've returned everything that I owe you…"Olivia's gaze alternated between the two bodies.

    "Avery, what happened?" Olivia inquired.She had no clue what was happening and didn't dare to go anywhere close to Louis. The only person who she got close to was Avery."Stay away, Olivia!

    Olivia arrived on the island. She noticed the change in the atmosphere this time around.It was the same old scenery, but the robots that once filled the island to the brim were gone.

    Alan brushed it over, but it was enough to leave Wendell in shock. Wendell imagined what kind of life Wayne had led before this.

Wendell was merely generous when it came to spending money on Alexander. But once he reunited with his son, he realized how much it could hurt to be a parent.

    Wendell felt helpless. He was seriously down on luck.Instead of his son, he thought that he had found himself a bossy superior. It was a heartfelt reunion after 30 years of separation, and yet the first thing Wayne talked about was an announcement about his marriage rather than expressing words of concern for his family. If it were any ordinary woman, Wendell wouldn't have minded it. But the person he insisted on marrying was none other than Olivia! She was a divorced woman with four kids!On top of that, Olivia's ex-husband was Wendell's nephew! The divorced couple was somewhat entangled with each other too.Ethan and Wayne were both dear to him.

    Wendell had been frail all his life. He never imagined that his biological son would have been missing for so many years. What surprised him more was that Wayne had grown up well despite hardships. Still, there seemed to be something off about this son of his.They were father and son who had been separated for years. Now that the truth was revealed, shouldn't they be hugging each other in tears of joy? Why did Wayne show no joy in reuniting with his father but seemed interested in his identity as the son of the Procter family—or more precisely, the marriage arrangement between the Procter family and the Fordham family?""Son, things are a bit complicated right now. We need to take our time to discuss this thoroughly—""Am I not your son?" Wayne's restless temperament was exactly the same as his mother's. There was no chance of dissuading him. There was only one thing in his head. He felt fortunate that he had run a background check on the ties between both families. Otherwise
