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
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
Then, he took off the thin mask on his face. An exquisite face with defined features appeared in the mirror. Ethan's face looked paler because it hadn't been in the sun for months. His collar was slightly open and he looked like a vampire straight out of the medieval ages—elegant and noble. He walked into the steaming hot shower and stood under the water. A black liquid flowed from his body as the water rained down on him.When he came out of the shower, his commanding presence could no longer be concealed. Ethan then put on his mask, donned his military uniform, and went to the command room. Everyone cleared a path for him as he walked by. They also stood at attention and saluted him. "Sir."Ethan walked into the command room with brisk steps. Kelvin put on a serious expression and said, "Sir, the pirate ship has been sunk. Some of the pirates are trying to get away on life rafts.""Leave no survivors.""Yes, sir.""How's the cargo ship?""Brent boarded it with som
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
