Ch. 941..950

Even After Death Chapter 931-Olivia didn’t fail to notice the fear and unease in Connor’s eyes. What had she done? Why would her son look at her with those emotions?

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.”

Olivia hugged Connor and apologized to him repeatedly.

Connor didn’t know what to do.

“Why… Why did you come here?”

“My baby, Mom is so sorry. I’m sorry for coming so late.”

“Mom?” Connor thought he heard wrong. Did Olivia really address herself as his mother?

“My dear child, I was mistaken about some things. I only managed to find you again now. It’s all my fault.”

Olivia hugged Connor tightly as tears rolled down her chin and fell on his neck.

The hug was the best solace for both of them at that moment.

Ethan had someone bring them a first aid kit.

“Liv, we should tend to his wounds first.”

Olivia let go of Connor and looked at his injuries with a pained expression..

“It must hurt, right?”

“It doesn’t hurt.”

Connor stared at Olivia with a dreamy look, like she would disappear before him if he blinked.

As Olivia was disinfecting and applying ointment on Connor’s wounds, Connor looked at Ethan and asked,

“Dad, is Mom real?”

Ethan tapped him on the nose lightly. “Silly boy, of course, she’s real.”

Connor remained still even after he heard that. He didn’t make a sound even when Olivia was dressing his.wounds.

He was afraid that he might scare her away.

Connor was as obedient as ever. There were times when he would act up in the past, but he was truly

Are you hungry, Connor? Why don’t I make some food for you?”

“Okay

It had been so many years, but Olivia had never once cooked a meal for him. She felt guilty when she thought about that. She was such a failure of a mother.

She felt immense remorse when she thought about the time she planned to jump off the cruise ship with Connor, Luckily, she didn’t go through with it.

Ethan brought the two of them back to his private room. He would sometimes come here to train with Connor.

He had to be stricter with a boy, but it didn’t mean he didn’t love Connor. He loved him a lot. He was just thinking about his future.

While Olivia was cooking in the kitchen, Connor took the chance to report his progress in the past few days

Ethan caressed Connor’s cheek and asked, “Do you hate me for this? You could’ve lived a comfortable life at home.”

Connor shook his head. “I don’t. I know you did it for my sake. When I become strong, I’ll be able to protect Mom Dad, have you made up with Mom yet?”

Connor’s words made Ethan feel awkward. He didn’t know what to say.

“Seems like you haven’t.”

Connor sighed. “With an unreliable dad like you, when will I ever get my mom back?”

Ethan patted him on the head. “Son, no matter what happens between me and your mom, the three of us will always be a family. Nothing in this world can separate us. I’ll always love you, and so will your mom.This will never change”

“Does Mom really love me? Didn’t you say she’ll love my brother and sister more when she finds them? She’ll hate the child raised by the enemy, right?”

Connor was puzzled.

“Who told you I would hate you? I can’t love you enough.”

Olivia crouched and hugged him from behind. “You and your siblings are all precious to me.

 

Even After Death Chapter 932-Olivia realized that Connor was very sensitive. He was very insecure because he feared losing his mother after finally getting to meet her again.

Olivia comforted him patiently. She told him repeatedly how much she loved her. She even made him some delicious food.

Connor ate a lot. He didn’t stop even when he was completely stuffed Ethan had to take away his cutlery to make him stop.

Connor knew he wouldn’t get to eat Olivia’s cooking every day.

“Come here, Connor.”

Olivia sat down on the windowsill and beckoned at Connor. He went to her obediently, and she pulled him into her embrace.

They could see a great view from the window. Connor finally noticed a different side to the training grounds from a different angle. It was probably because his mother was with him.

Olivia’s lips curved into a smile. “I was the one who came up with your name. You were born with all the love I had to give.”

“You must’ve loved Dad a lot back then.”

“Yeah, I loved him a lot.” Olivia didn’t lie to him.

“No matter what happens between me and him, you’re still the baby I carried for seven months. Your father took you away from me under some false pretenses. He split us up and hid your existence from

me.

“That was why I wasn’t part of your life for such a long time. But I thought about you every single day. On those countless days and nights, I was always thinking about you and missing you. I love you more than anyone in the world.”

Connor’s mood improved immensely. “Mom, I love you too. I love you very, very much.”

“Good boy.” Olivia rested her chin on his forehead.

“I can’t interfere in any of the decisions your father made. You have to be careful while you’re here. Call for help if you’re in danger. You’re just a kid. Your foremost priority is keeping yourself safe. Everything else is secondary to that

“Don’t worry, Mom Dad has arranged for people to keep me safe. There were several times when I was in shouldn’t cry so easily.”

“Don’t listen to his nonsense. The most important thing a kid needs to do is to be happy and healthy every day Cry or laugh if you need to. That’s the God-given right of every child.

“Your father is just mentally sick. He didn’t have a childhood, so he doesn’t want one for you either. You shouldn’t follow his example.”

Ethan wanted to eavesdrop on their intimate conversation, but Olivia saying he was mentally ill was the first thing he heard. He rubbed his nose awkwardly.

Connor smiled. There was a dimple on his left cheek. He finally seemed like a young boy again.

Olivia was confused. She didn’t have dimples, and neither did Ethan. She had met everyone else in the Miller family. None of them had dimples.

But all of her children had a dimple on the left cheek. Maybe this was something they inherited from her side of the family.

It was a pity that all the leads had gone cold. Penny passed away two years ago, and she didn’t recall any useful information before her death.

“Look at you. You’re so handsome when you smile, like a prince. Did your father tell you not to smile?”

Connor nodded. “How did you know that, Mom? Dad said I shouldn’t wear my heart on my sleeve. We don’t want people to know what we’re thinking.”

Olivia grunted. “I knew it. I knew he was the one who told you that.”

Even After Death Chapter 933-Connor enjoyed hearing Olivia criticizing Ethan. She was the person who understood him the most.

With Marina, she would only teach him how to cozy up to Ethan so that he would stay with them.

“But if Dad is so bad, why did you fall in love with him?”

Olivia said huffily, “It was because I was stupid. Son, do you know how many people wanted to date me? As many as the fish in the ocean. I was just blinded by his looks.”

“But if you had married someone else, I wouldn’t have been born, neither would my brother and sister,” Connor said with disappointment.

Olivia immediately changed her tune.” Your dad used to be a decent person. He was good to me once. So, when I was pregnant with you, I was very happy every day. I waited for your arrival with joy and anticipation.”

“What about now? Dad still treats you well. I know Dad has done a lot of things for the sake of your safety, Mom.”

“Things are different now. I can only promise you that I’ll always love you no matter what happens.”

Connor asked softly, “Mom, can you give Dad some of your love too? He’s really sad.”

“There are a lot of other people in this world who can love him. He doesn’t really need it from me.”

“But Mom to Dad is like water to fish. A fish would die without water.”

Connor nestled into Olivia’s embrace obediently. He picked it up so quickly and was able to become an adorable kid in such a short amount of time.

“I love Mom, but I love Dad too. I’d love it even more if both of you got together. Other children’s parents are together

“Mom, didn’t you say you love me? You’re still single anyway. Can’t you just forgive what Dad did to you for my sake? I think my siblings would want the same. They would want you two to stay together.”

Connor had grown up since Olivia last saw him. He was able to voice his opinions clearly this time. Unlike her two other children, even if they had such thoughts, they couldn’t express them.

Olivia didn’t know what answer she could give that wouldn’t hurt Connor. He was just a kid, and his world was simple and pure. He wouldn’t understand everything that had happened between Ethan and herself.

“Mom, if you’re afraid that he might hurt you again, I’ll keep an eye on him. I won’t give Dad the chance to really realized his mistakes. Please forgive him, Mom

Olivia had the urge to relent and give him what he wanted. It was the first request that Connor, the son she felt very guilty toward, had for her.

“Mom, I don’t want anything else. I just want you and Dad to be together. You can come to my parent- teacher meeting and parent-children activities at school with him in the future. I’ll be good. Please, Mom.This is all I want.”

Connor started to cry in her arms. He seemed to understand that it was his only chance. If he couldn’t get Olivia to stay, she would be gone soon.

Olivia patted him on the head lovingly. She could see her past self in him.

In the past, she had gone home happily after school one day when she saw Chris there. He was there to take Chloe away.

Suitcase in hand, Chloe walked up to her and told her to be good and obey Jeff because she was going away.

When Olivia learned that Chloe was going away, she clung to Chloe’s leg and begged her to stay.

Even After Death Chapter 934-“Mom, I’ll be good. I won’t make you angry ever again. Please don’t go. Please stay with me.”

Olivia fell to the ground after Chloe pulled her away. Even then, she chased after her with a limp. She ran after the car and begged for Chloe to return to her.

There was only one thought in her mind. Even though Chloe usually treated her with indifference, she would have a mother as long as Chloe was there. If Chloe left, she wouldn’t have a mother anymore.

Even if Chloe remained indifferent, Olivia would be happy if she could see her every day. After Chloe left, Olivia hoped for her return every single day.

Every day, she would watch other children enviously. They had their mothers to bring them home, mothers who brought them lunch and took part in parent-children activities.

She would also envy the children with mothers who brought them to theme parks. And those with mothers to carry them in their arms when they fell over.

She knew how sad it was to grow up without a mother. She once swore to give her children a perfect family.

As things were, she was no different from Chloe. She was about to leave her child and give him an imperfect childhood.

“Connor, I’m sorry.”

Olivia hugged him tightly but didn’t know how to answer his questions. She could only apologize over and over again.

“Mom, I don’t want your apology. I just want you with me. You say you didn’t know I existed in the past, but now you know. Are you still going to leave me?”

Connor was indeed Ethan’s son. He was very skilled at psychological manipulation. In such a short amount of time, he was able to estimate his importance to Olivia. He was also able to grasp her weakness.

So, he used the childish tantrum that kids his age would normally have as a bid to get her to stay. This way, even if Olivia might be unhappy with his actions, she could not turn him down.

No parent would be able to resist their child throwing a tantrum, especially if it was a child they felt quilty toward and wanted to try their best to make up to. But Connor didn’t want anything. He just wanted Olivia to stay.

“Mom, I love you so much. You love me too. And there’s my brother and sister too. I’ve never had a complete family from the start. Do you want them to go without their father as they grow up?

“They would wonder every day what it’d be like to have a father. They would envy the families of other people.

“Mom, people say that a complete childhood will make your life better, but an incomplete one will cause you to be traumatized forever.”

Olivia was rendered speechless. She didn’t expect Connor to say something like that. He was still so young.

“Did your father tell you to say that?”

“No. Dad never taught me anything like that. He only told me that a man has to be strong and never surrender. And that I’ll be able to protect you when I grow up.

“Dad has never spoken ill of you, Mom. He always tells me my mother is the best woman in the world.

He’s the one at fault. He’s the one who let you down.

“If he could rewind time, he’d give you all the love he had. My teacher told me we should all learn from our mistakes and grow. People should be given the chance to turn over a new leaf.

“Mom, please give Dad another chance and see how he does. If he has really changed for the better, you should forgive his past stupidity. Let’s be together as a family, okay?”

Olivia was rendered speechless by Connor’s speech. Who did he inherit this talent of speech from?

Connor nuzzled himself in her arms and said, “Dad and I love you a lot, Mom.”

Even After Death Chapter 935-Olivia patted Connor on the head lovingly.

"My dear boy, I understand how you feel, but we don't always get what we want. It's not wrong of you to want your family to be together. But have you ever considered whether Mom and Dad would be happy together?”

Connor looked at her with teary eyes. It was clear he hadn't thought about that.

Olivia patiently explained, I felt the same way asa child. I wanted my family to be together too. Back then, your grandmother didn't love your grandfather at all."

"She treated me and your grandfather with indifference every day. Do you know what happens when a person is unhappy every day? She would become depressed and angry. She would spread negative emotions to everyone around her. Have you ever had a pet bird?”

No, but I have a cat. Dad gave it to me. He said that you love cats."""

"Birds and cats are different. A cat can run around the house freely, but a bird is trapped inside a cage. It can only look at the sky from within the cage.

The sky is just beyond the cage, but the bird can never reach it. If you love the bird and feed it the best food every day, do you think it'll be happy?”"

"Mom, are you trying to say that you're the bird and Dad's the cage?”

Olivia nodded. That's right. Maybe this makes me a selfish person. Connor, I used to be a young woman who was looking forward to marriage. I was hopeful for the future."

"I was happy that we were able to create a happy family. I was looking forward to bringing you into the world and into a happy family. But there are too many things in this world that we can't control.

“I didn't want things to come to this point, but this is where we are now, and we don't have a choice. What I can do is continue to love you. I'll try my best to make it up to you for the rest of my life. But I'll never be able to go back to your father.

“You're a good kid. You should understand my decision, right? I have my own path to walk.”

Connor stared at Olivia for a good while before nodding. I understand, Mom. I support your decision.”"

He was just a kid. He didn't know about everything that had happened between Ethan and Olivia. But there was He was just a kid. He didn't know about everything that had happened between Ethan and Olivia. But there was one thing he knew. He loved his mother and wanted her to be happy.

“If that makes you happy, I'll be okay with it. I'm just afraid that .. you won't want me anymore."

"Silly boy. I told you that you're the same as your siblings. You're all precious to me. I love you a lot too. I'll be visiting Olivia noticed the necklace around Connor’s neck. She pulled it out to look at it. It was the emerald necklace.

I designed this for you personally. It carries the hope I have for you. I hope you can be happy every day and grow up healthily.”"

Connor stuck his hand out. "Mom, you have to keep your promise. You have to come visit me again.”

Olivia made a pinky promise to him with a smile on her face.

“Alright, I promise. Let's live together after you grow up a little bit more, okay? You need to grow up into a man soon so that I don't have to worry so much.”

Alright, Mom. I got it.

You're my perfect little baby.

Olivia patted him on the back and started to tell him about the things that happened when he was younger

Olivia patted him on the back and started to tell him about the things that happened when he was younger while holding him in her arms.

"Do you still remember the cherry blossoms on the island? Why don't I bring you there and show you the next time they bloom?”

It's a promise, Mom! I'll hold you to it!”"

Even After Death Chapter 936-Olivia finally managed to convince Connor to see things her way. He was still young and wasn't as stubborn as Ethan.

All his thoughts were centered around Olivia. He might look like Ethan, but his personality resembled Olivia's. He was considerate.

People like them usually had it harder. They would always put other people before themselves and never consider their own interests.

That night, Connor fell asleep in Olivia's arms. His arms grabbed onto her sleeves uneasily. Olivia felt another pang in her heart when she looked at the wounds on his face.

She knew there would be more injuries to come. Connor's path was one riddled with pain and suffering. Despite that, she would still be leaving him. Olivia felt terrible and sad.

But she knew that Ethan and Connor wouldn't be able to protect her forever if she didn't make any changes.

She would be dead if she ever slipped up. She only had one life, so all she could do was grow stronger. Or else people like Krystal could slap her without any consequences.

She would be nothing without Ethan's authority. Moreover,

Ethan's identity had been leaked. It was no longer safe for her to stay with him.

Olivia had learned her lesson from her failed marriage with

She had to plan for her and her kids’ future.

Ethan snuck into the room after Connor was sound asleep.

Olivia immediately tensed up when his chest was pressed against her back.

"What are you doing?” she whispered.

Ethan wrapped his hands around her waist and said softly, “Don't be alarmed. I'm just going to sleep with my arms around you."

Olivia immediately doubted his words. She felt like he was plotting something.

But Ethan didn't do anything to her. He just had his arms around her waist without making another move.

“Are you planning to leave tomorrow?"

“Yeah,” Olivia replied softly.

I knew I couldn't keep you here ...

Ethan sighed and added, "I have to stay here for a little longer to recover. I won't be seeing you off tomorrow. I've already made arrangements for you to go to the island.”

"I'm sorry,” Ethan said with a tender look in his eyes.

As soon as Olivia walked out of the building, she was faced with icy winds that felt like cold blades on her face. It made her face sting a little.

As Ethan said, everything had been arranged.

“Mrs. Miller, the helicopter is ready for you. You can set off whenever you like."

Thanks.

"The helipad is a distance away. You'll have to walk over there.”

It's okay."" Olivia waved her hand."

She was wearing a down jacket and buried her entire face under a hat. She could sense someone watching her, but she dared not look back.

She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to leave if she looked back.

She kept telling herself not to look back and move forward. Ethan carried Connor in his arms and hid behind the curtains.

Tears were streaming down Connor's face. He reached out like he was trying to grab Olivia's sleeve.

“Dad, I don't want Mom to leave. Will she leave me for good?

She'll never do that. She loves you so much. Why would she leave you for good? She's just leaving us for a while.

Connor sobbed and asked, "Won't you miss her, Dad?"

“Of course, I will. I'll miss her like crazy. I have the urge to imprison her and keep her by my side forever, but ...”

Ethan sighed deeply. "I've already made that mistake once. I can't do it again. Your mother had a bright future ahead of her.

“By forcing her to stay by my side, I took away her dream, happiness, and future. She was a caged bird, but I eventually removed the cage and allowed her to soar freely.”

“Aren't you afraid she might fall for someone else and start a new family with them? What would you do then?"

Ethan had thought about that possibility. But he had pretended to be Logan and stayed with her for so long. They even experienced life-and-death situations together.

He was with her during her weakest hours, but she still didn't fall for him. Ethan was sure Olivia wouldn't fall in love with He was with her during her weakest hours, but she still didn't fall for him. Ethan was sure Olivia wouldn't fall in love with someone else.

"You and your siblings link me and your mother together. As long as you three are here, we'll see her again, no matter where she goes.”

Watching as Olivia disappeared into the snow, Connor thought about the years he spent without his mother.

The yearning that he had kept bottled up exploded.

Dad, I want to say goodbye to her.”"

It was just an excuse for him to talk to Olivia, look at her, and hear her voice one more time.

Connor ran like the wind. He yelled as he ran, "Mom! Wait for me, Mom!"

The howling winds drowned his voice out. The heavy snow blinded him, and he couldn't see where Olivia was. He ran a few more steps before falling onto the snow, which quickly covered him up.

Mom!

Olivia was about to step onto the helicopter when she suddenly heard a voice. She looked back but only saw the snowy ground. There was no one there.

She figured she was hearing things because she was already missing Connor. She wiped her tears and got on the helicopter.

Even After Death Chapter 938-"Don't go, Mom! Wait for me!”

It had been snowing the entire night, and the ground was covered in thick snow. Connor got out of the snow with great effort, but the helicopter door was already closed, and the rotors started spinning.

Connor ran forward as fast as he could. Even though he made a promise to Olivia last night, he still lost control when it came time to part ways. He was running toward his mother instinctively.

He was just a kid who had been without his mother for a long part of his life. His face was filled with longing for Olivia.

"Mom, don't go. I finally got to see you. Please stay, Mom!

Connor fell over again with tears streaming down his cheeks while he called out to Olivia.

The winds were too strong, and the rotors were loud. Olivia couldn't hear his voice at all.

Mom, I miss you. I've been waiting for you for so long. Please stay with me. I'll be good. I'll listen to whatever you say. I was lying. I don't want you to go. I want to see"

“Mom, I miss you. I've been waiting for you for so long. Please stay with me. I'll be good. I'll listen to whatever you say. I was lying. I don't want you to go. I want to see you every day.

"I don't want to train anymore. I don't want to be a young sir. I just want to be your son. Mom ... please look at me one

I don't want to train anymore. I don't want to be a young sir. I just want to be your son. Mom ... please look at me one more time ...”"

Connor slowly picked himself up, but he slumped to the ground again. He was bawling his eyes out.

His instructor had trained him for so long. He had always been strong. No matter how hard or tiring training was, he was able to hold out.

This was the first time his instructor saw Connor lose control of his emotions. But to be fair, Connor was not even five years old. It was normal for him to act out occasionally.

"Dear boy, stop crying.”

The helicopter had already flown off, taking Olivia away from them. Along with her went all of Connor's yearning.

Ethan picked Connor up from the snow and swept the snow off of him. Then, he took off his jacket and wrapped it around Connor.

The instructor saluted Ethan. Ethan nodded at him and said, Connor will be taking a break for a couple of days.”"

"Yes, sir.”

Connor buried his face in Ethan's chest and cried until he could barely catch his breath.

Dad, I'm not as strong as] thought I was. I don't want anything else. I just want Mom to come back. I want to be a regular child.”"

“Alright, don't cry. You're a good boy.”

"I don't want to be a good boy. I want to be a bad boy. Only bad boys get pampered.”

Ethan didn't expect Connor to react so strongly. He just wanted Olivia to know where Connor was. He failed to take into account the fact that Connor wasn't a two-year-old baby anymore.

At his age, Connor understood what was going on and was better aware of his feelings and emotions.

I'm sorry.”"

He carried Connor in his arms and began to walk back to his room. Connor was covered snugly in his jacket, but Ethan was exposed to the icy winds.

Connor had spent more time with Ethan since he was younger, but Ethan had been going after Olivia for the last two years. So, the child didn't get to see his father that much either.

Connor's crying subsided when he saw Ethan being covered in snow. He understood that he wasn't the only person feeling sad. Ethan was very sad as well.

He sobbed quietly. Ethan looked straight into his eyes and said, "I promise that I'll bring your mother back here someday, okay?"

Connor's nose was red from all the crying. He looked sad but also adorable at the same time.

Okay. You can't go back on your word!

"If I get tired of that, I'll pick up some skills and open a cafe or a flower boutique. I might even travel the world and live a life that's completely different from the one I had.”

“Okay.”

Everly looked at Olivia and asked, What about you?"""

"I want to get stronger. I want to further my medical career, and I want to be a person my teacher can be proud of.” Olivia had a determined look in her eyes.

“That's great."

Everly sighed. "It's like we're back to our high school senior days. Back then, we'd sit under a tree at school, filled with hope for the future. If I knew our lives would turn out like this, maybe we should've gone abroad.”

“Eve, there's no use trying to run. There are many things we'd only understand after we've experienced them.”

“That's true."

Everly cradled her head with her hands as she enjoyed the sea breeze under the shade. She counted down the days.

She would be able to cut Henry out of her life completely in five days.

But something unexpected happened on the third day.

Everly had been in a good mood for the past two days. She would even skip around and wave at everyone she came across.

Henry probably wasn't used to seeing her so happy, so he showed up on the evening of the third day.

At that moment, Everly was playing hide and seek with the children. She ignored the sound of the helicopter overhead.

After all, she had already figured out the schedule on the island. The maids would go out and purchase supplies every fortnight or so.

She thought it was just the maids coming back to the island and didn't pay much attention to the helicopter.

With a blindfold over her eyes, she was counting under a tree.

“Eight, nine, ten. Ready or not, here I come!”

Due to the game having too few participants, she would sometimes pick out some maids at random to join the game.

She ran into someone after taking a couple of steps. The person's chest felt solid.

Most of the maids she picked out for the game were women. She would occasionally pick some men when there weren't enough women. She placed her hand on the man's chest and felt it up. She murmured, "How did a man get here?"

Then, she snickered. “It's okay. I love men.”

When she did that, she imagined herself to be a horny king playing with his lover. Smirking, she said, “Come here, my beauty. Let me feel you and guess your identity."

Her hand moved up on the man's well-built chest. She was puzzled. "Why aren't you running away today? Seems like you like me too.”

Her fingers moved to the man’s Adam's apple. It moved slightly under her palm. She was touching him so intimately. Why wasn't the man running away?

Everly seemed to recall that the men on the island were very shy. She had teased the gardener once, and now, he would drop his tools and run upon seeing her. He treated her like some sort of wild animal.

Who was this bold man she was touching?

She moved her fingers up to the man’s chin, lips, nose, and then forehead.

"Who are you? Let me guess. Are you ...” Everly muttered.

As though he didn't want to hear another man's name uttered by her lips, Henry asked, Have you had your fun, Ms. Hilton?"""

Even After Death Chapter 942-Everly's face paled when she heard Henry's voice. She quickly took off the blindfold. The man standing before her was none other than Henry.

She stuttered, "W-WWhy ... are y-you here?"

Henry smiled. “I've been missing you every day you've been gone, Ms. Hilton. It seems like you're having a good time on the island. Have you forgotten about me?"

The maids read the situation and quickly left. The two children didn't know what was going on. They stared at

Henry with their bright, round eyes.

Under the innocent gaze of the children, Henry had no choice but to suppress his impatience and let go of Everly.

You're Zack, and you're Alicia, right?

The two children looked at him with docile expressions.

Suddenly, Alicia blurted out, "Dad?"

Henry was amused. He crouched and picked her up. She was like a cute kitten looking for its parent.

"Dear child, I'm not your dad. Don't be mistaken.”

Disappointment flashed in Alicia's eyes. Where was Disappointment flashed in Alicia's eyes. Where was their father?

Henry played with Alicia for a short while. The affection in his eyes was apparent.

Everly looked at him in shock. She recalled a conversation she had with him when they just started dating.

She had asked him naively if he liked children, and his answer had been resolute.

I don't like children. They're annoying.”"

Then, he put down the magazine he was reading and looked at her.

“Ms. Hilton, you're a smart woman. You wouldn't do anything stupid, right?”

He was smiling, but he had a threatening gaze. He didn't like children, much less children born from a lover.

Only his wife could give birth to his children.

Everly hadn't fallen for him too much at that point. She knew that very well, so she managed to do a good job maintaining the boundary in the past two years.

That night was an accident, and she didn't expect to get pregnant from that. Her perspective changed after she got pregnant.

There was no point dwelling on that at this point. She turned and walked away resolutely while Henry was playing with the children.

When she looked at him, she would lament the loss of her child. She would also be reminded of his disdain for children that he displayed to her.

Everly rushed to find Olivia, who was learning about dissections from a doctor at that hour.

"Bad news, Liv. That bastard's here!”

Olivia was holding a scalpel in her hand. She looked up from a pile of flesh and asked, Who?"""

Everly gagged when she saw the body.

It was crazy how Ethan gave Olivia everything she wanted.

Olivia had shown an interest in dissecting human bodies, but there were none on the island.

So, she started practicing on poultry and cattle. But those were not human, so it wasn't the same. After Ethan heard that

Olivia wanted to dissect human bodies, several ships stopped at the island the following day.

Everly, being the lover of food she was, thought the ships carried goods. One look and she vomited. It turned out the ships were carrying human bodies.

The bodies were of people who died recently and were frozen. They were for Olivia to practice dissection.

The bodies were buried at a nearby hill after they were dissected. Everly didn't even dare to go to the hill after that.

Olivia knew she was afraid, so she had people plant some banana trees on the hill. That caused Everly to shudder when she saw bananas.

It's ... Everly gagged.

She looked away and said, "It's that bastard, Henry.”

With the bloody scalpel in her hand, Olivia asked, "Do you need me to stab him for you?”

Even After Death Chapter 943-Everly pursed her lips.

"That's not funny at all.

What should we do, Liv? His appearance means our plan... Henry's voice came from behind her."

Your plan? What plan? What have you been plotting behind my back, Ms.Hilton? Everly had the urge to slap herself.

She almost exposed their plan to Henry.

Olivia was able to remain calm.

She took off her face mask and set down her tools.

Then, she removed the scrubs and left the operating room.

"It's nothing.

I'm not sure if Everly means the plan to stab you in your sleep or the one to poison you.

She comes up with hundreds of plans like these every day. Everly sighed in relief."

Then, she signaled at Olivia with her eyes as if telling her she did a good job.

They had different personalities.

Olivia was calm and controlled, while Everly was straightforward and wild.

Henry smiled.

"You're so cheeky.

Mrs.

Miller here is way more composed than you. Olivia retorted calmly, ""Mr."

Synder, you should already know I'm divorced.

You shouldn't call me that." "My apologies, Ms.

Fordham." Henry finally understood how Ethan felt.

When Everly was angry, she would pounce on him, bite him, and scratch him.

On the other hand, Olivia would look at him coldly without making a fuss.

It was a very eerie experience.

“What's your business here, Mr.Synder? Eve has just recovered from the trauma.

I don't think she wants to see you yet." Everly felt an instinctive fear of Henry.

She would only scream and shout when she was emotional.

When she was calm, she just wanted to get away from him.

She didn't even dare to talk back to him.

Olivia asked him why he came to the island directly.

Everly had the urge to give Olivia a thumbs-up.

She was so awesome! Henry's smile was a little forced.

Olivia was relentless.

He didn't know how to deal with her.

I'm just here to visit Ms.Hilton. Olivia pointed at one of the security cameras above her.

"There are plenty of security cameras on the island.

I'm sure you've been watching the footage every day.

Why did you show up in person today? “T'll be frank.

Nothing good will come out of your relationship with Eve.

Why are you still wasting your time? You're just making yourself unhappy and wasting her time. Olivia said everything Everly wanted to say but never had the courage to."

She looked at Olivia with a look of admiration.

Olivia glanced at Everly and lamented her weakness.

She used to be able to talk back to everyone.

Why did she falter when it was Henry? "You're wrong about that, Ms.Fordham.

It's like charity.

There's no guarantee that all your efforts will have a positive impact.

If so, why do people still do charity work without that guarantee?" Olivia crossed her arms.

She was several inches shorter than Henry, but her presence was just as commanding.

Does that mean Eve is just a charity case for you? Henry gave her a wry look.

"Ms.Fordham, I don't have to answer to you when it comes to my relationship with Ms.

Hilton. “I'm not your mother."

Of course, you don't have to answer to me.

But as Eve's best friend, I'll never allow anyone who has hurt her to show up here.

Eve doesn't want you here, Mr.Synder.

Please leave." "Even if you're her best friend, you have no right to infringe on her freedom.

I have something to tell you, Ms.Hilton." Everly replied, "I have nothing to say to you." Henry's eyes narrowed slightly, and his smile faded.

He was about to get angry.

When he was unhappy, he would try to make people around him unhappy too.

He also knew Everly's weakness very well.

Everly held out for three seconds before walking over to him.

Liv, ['ll talk to him for a bit. Olivia was frustrated to see Everly so submissive.

They were about to leave in two more days.

Did Henry sense something was up? Olivia was worried that Ethan might have seen through her plan.

Even After Death Chapter 944-Olivia washed her hands and walked out of the dissecting room.

The two children went up to her.

“Mom, Mister ..." “I know.

Go play." There was a hint of worry in Olivia's eyes.

She felt like Henry's appearance wasn't a coincidence.

Since her departure, Ethan never showed up again.

There wasn't any news of him either.

As it drew closer to the day they were to leave the island, the unease she felt grew.

Ethan was only willing to let her go because she was on this island.

But she was still right under his nose.

He would never let her leave if he knew she was going off on her own.

Olivia's gaze fell on the door to Everly's room.

She didn't know if Henry would take Everly away.

If Everly went back with Henry, her life would be even worse than what Olivia had been through.

At least Ethan loved her and only her despite everything he did.

Henry was different.

Everly was just a toy to him.

He would never marry her.

Even if they had a child together, Everly would only be a mistress, and her child would be an illegitimate child.

If Henry ever got tired of her, she would be abandoned.

Olivia had been through too much.

She didn't want Everly to suffer like she did.

She was determined to take Everly away no matter what happened.

Henry pulled Everly away forcefully.

Everly asked coldly, "Why did you come?" Henry didn't answer the question.

Instead, he asked, "Where's your room? We'll talk in your room." Everly pointed in the direction of her room with her chin.

Then, Henry pulled her by her hand into the room.

“Why do you have to—" As soon as the door was shut, Henry leaned in and kissed her.

I missed you, woman. Everly was shocked.

She thought Henry came all the way here because he had important business.

She had been thinking about the contracts she handled and wondered if anything was wrong with them.

Or else, Henry wouldn't have traveled so far.

Only one thought crossed her mind when Henry kissed her.

This man must be mad.

Let me go! She exerted a lot of force to push him away.

It has been quite some time since her miscarriage, and she could have sex again.

But just because her body had recovered didn't mean she had gotten over the mental trauma.

Why was Henry being so persistent? Henry was displeased when she pushed him away.

But her miscarriage was still in his mind, so he was more gentle toward her.

"I'm sorry.

I haven't seen you for some time, and I missed you. Henry sat down casually with his legs slightly apart."

Then, he beckoned at her.

“Come here." “What are you trying to ..." Henry pulled her onto his lap and took a jewelry box out of the pocket of his suit.

“Open it and take a look." Everly didn't move, so Henry opened it for her.

There was a pink diamond ring in the box.

"Didn't you say you liked this designer's work last year? I had to wait six months before this was completed.

I wanted to give it to you later, during our second anniversary.

“But I couldn't help but bring it straight to you as soon as I received it.

Try and see if it fits. As he was talking, he wanted to put the ring on her."

The pink diamond was very pretty, giving off a dazzling glow.

It was a work of art.

Everly loved money.

Initially, she didn't think too much about it.

Henry wanted her body, and vice versa.

She thought she was getting older and had nothing to lose by sleeping with Henry.

She stood to gain so much too.

They both got what they wanted.

It was good.

She didn't want to invest any feelings into this relationship.

She never expected to fall in love with Henry and started wanting more from him.

She didn't want a ring.

She wanted a title.

That was something he could never give her.

She removed the ring and said, "Let's end this relationship."

Even After Death Chapter 945-Henry was taken aback.

He couldn't believe Everly would actually say that.

Even when she threw fits at the hospital previously, she never talked about ending things.

Henry frowned slightly.

Say that one more time. Everly lowered her head and fiddled with her nails.

''I said I'm tired of this.

Let's end it." The arm around her waist suddenly pulled her closer into his embrace.

Henry said through gritted teeth, "I'll give you one chance to take that back." “Mr.

Synder, I've thought things through.

I don't want a relationship like this." "You don't want a relationship like this?" Henry sneered as he reached out to tilt Everly's chin upward.

"Do you actually want to be the official Mrs.

Synder? Looking at his mocking gaze and listening to his icy tone, Everly felt relieved that she didn't say that."

She would just be making a fool of herself.

"That's not it.

I just want to quit.

The agreement we signed was for three years.

There are only a few more months left.

It'll be almost time after the three-month break you gave me. “Quit? Why? You don't want to be aCEO's assistant anymore? You want to work in sales again?"" Everly shook her head, ignoring his harsh tone."

She replied seriously, "The past two years have been tiring.

I want to take a long break.

Let's end this, Mr.

Synder." "Ms.

Hilton, you know you'll have to pay a fee for breach of contract, right?" Henry thought that would make her nervous since she loved money.

Everly replied calmly, "Alright.

How much is it? I'll pay." "What if I say the amount would be equivalent to everything you've earned so far? It'll be like you worked for free." Everly's lips quivered slightly.

Henry reached out and patted her on the head.

Then, he said matter-of-factly, "I knew you wouldn't do something that dumb.

You love money, after all.

"Just rest with paid leave for now.

I'll double your bonus, okay? I'll be more careful this time, so you won't have to suffer through another pregnancy. Everly didn't reply and just looked at him silently."

That gaze made Henry feel unfamiliar.

Even at that point, Henry didn't show any concern for her.

He just wanted to satiate his carnal desires.

There wasn't anything wrong with that, though.

They had agreed on the price since the beginning.

Everly sold herself out for a price.

She fulfilled her material desires but lost her dignity in the process.

She didn't think too much about it back then.

All she thought about was sleeping with a handsome man who was rich and skilled.

It was a very enticing offer.

After realizing what she had lost in the transaction, it was already too late to regret her decision.

The one who fell in love first was always the loser in this type of situation.

She lost.

That was why she felt Henry's words were painful to listen to and his gaze painful to look at.

She didn't have anyone to blame.

The rules of the agreement were already set.

She was the one who broke the rules.

It was a monetary transaction, and yet she brought emotions into it.

It was like she was cheating in a card game.

“Why are you looking at me like that? If you need more money, I can give it to you." "It's okay.

It's enough." Everly smiled abruptly.

Then, she sat on Henry's thigh and wrapped her arms around his neck like she used to.

She was more sure than ever that the best option was to end the relationship.

But she couldn't afford to let Henry discover her intentions before that.

Everly gave him a seductive look and said, "Triple.

I want it now." “You money-grubbing woman." Henry kissed her on the nose and took out his phone to transfer the money to her.

"Give it to Liv.

I feel bad for using her money while I've been living here. “Okay."

I'll do that."

Even After Death Chapter 946-Everly had plans to leave and wanted to be prepared.

She had been moving her money in secret.

She would move small amounts every time.

She would also cash the money out through a third party or transfer some to her parents.

Her savings account was shrinking because she was afraid Henry would freeze the account in a fit of rage.

Henry was generous.

He transferred three million dollars to Olivia.

Everly smiled bitterly.

She was worth so much money.

Henry paid three million dollars to spend one night with her.

Henry had always had a high sex drive.

He had already taken her body measurements when he promoted her.

He even tested her for a bit before making a move on her.

He looked like a gentleman on the surface, but only Everly knew how vulgar he actually was.

He was like the devil.

Henry hadn't done it with her ever since she got pregnant.

So, it had been several months.

He placed her on the bed anxiously.

Everly was a little uneasy.

I haven't showered ...” You can do that after we're done." Everly's hair splayed out on the white sheets.

Henry didn't know if he was just imagining things.

They used to have great synergy in bed, but she looked like she was being forced at the moment.

Her expression made him feel bad.

His movements became more gentle.

Have you not done it with someone else in the past few months? Everly asked.

Henry glared at her as if he didn't like what she said.

Do you think I'd allow just anyone to get on my bed? He put the ring on Everly's finger again and started to kiss her fingertips.

Even though Everly didn't come from money and hadn't even learned the piano before, she had a pair of beautiful hands.

Henry loved them as much as he loved her legs.

“Do you remember the music sheets?" Henry asked as he pressed his lips on her earlobe.

Damn it! Everly was about to lose her mind.

Henry was a maniac.

He forced her to learn the piano a year ago.

A complete novice like her had to go through vigorous love- making every night and was forced to memorize music sheets too.

He stopped pushing her so hard after she was pregnant, but he was starting again.

I-I don't remember. "T'll give you a few months of leave.

Learn ten songs during the break." "Okay." Everly nodded.

She was about to run away anyway.

She didn't plan on memorizing anything.

She had always been a good liar.

She tugged at Henry's tie and pulled him down.

He was drowning in the affection in her eyes.

“Henry, ravage me.” One time.

Everly wanted to let loose for one last time.

She had never called Henry by his name before.

Henry's eyes darkened.

He said hoarsely.

What did you call me? "Mr.

Synder." “No, what you just called me." u Henry?" "Call me that when there's no one around." Henry kissed her on the lips.

That night, Everly appeared more eager than she had ever been.

Henry felt like he was about to die from pleasure.

She nuzzled in his embrace without sleeping.

When can I go back? Ww Wait two more months.

We'll talk about that after you get better." Henry didn't explain what was going on to her.

“Alright.

It's pretty nice here too.

I feel better after staying here for some time.

You have so much work to get to.

When are you leaving?" Everly asked the question she really wanted to ask.

What? Are you trying to get rid of me already? "T just don't want you to blame the losses you incur while you're here on me." Henry pinched her waist and chuckled.

"Ms.

Hilton, I'm starting to fear the day you lose interest in money.

I won't be able to keep you under control then. Everly kissed him and said, ""Don't worry, I'm easy to control.”"

Even After Death Chapter 947-Everly was extra cooperative.

So much so that it made Henry suspicious, but he couldn't put his finger on what was wrong.

They only got out of bed for lunch in the afternoon.

Henry stayed with her for the entire afternoon.He had never felt so peaceful before.He finally left after his assistant urged him repeatedly to do so.

Everly even went to see him off.

She hugged him in front of the helicopter and pretended like she didn't want him to leave.

“When are you coming to see me again?"

“Why? Are you already missing me before I'm gone? Didn't I satisfy you last night?" Henry smiled.

Everly didn't understand how a man who looked so gentlemanly could say something like that.

But it was not her first day with him.

Henry was different from Ethan, who adhered to rules very strictly.

Henry could even feel her thigh up when he was talking business with someone if he felt like it.

“Henry, will you miss me after you leave?" Everly asked suddenly.

Henry thought she was just acting cute.

He tapped her on the nose lightly and said, "Of course.Especially at night." His words were never the ones she wanted to hear.

Everly smiled.

Then I won't think about you.That's too tiring. Before Henry could say anything else, the assistant urged him to go again.

He had to fly to another country by night.He wouldn't be able to make it with any more delays.Henry wrapped his arm around Everly's waist and kissed her on the lips deeply.

Five days.I'll visit in five days at most.I'll bring you gifts.You have to think about me.Think about me every day.Don't take off that ring.

“Alright.Safe travels, Mr.Synder."

Everly moved away from him and stood at a safe distance.

For some reason, Henry sensed something wrong in her tone.

It was like she was trying to distance herself from him.

He was in a rush, so he didn't have time to think about it.

The helicopter flew away.

Henry stared at the direction Everly was standing at.

It was a small dot shrinking from his field of view, but he would be missing it every day.

Everly's smile became cold when the helicopter disappeared out of her sight.

He's finally gone. Olivia, who was standing under a nearby palm tree, crossed her arms and said calmly, "You're such a good actress.Even I was almost fooled."

I wasn't acting.I really do love him.

And can you leave him behind? I can tell he treats you pretty well, Olivia asked tentatively.

She was afraid that Everly might regret her decision.

"No matter how good he is to me, I'll only be a lover to him.We still have many years ahead of us.If he finds the woman he truly loves, I'll surely be abandoned.

“He's not stubborn like Ethan.He's cold and heartless by nature.I need to get away before it's too late to avoid further heartbreak."

Everly held Olivia's hand and said, "Let's leave tonight, Liv.I feel uneasy when I'm here.I'm afraid that he might return.Let's go while he's still abroad."

Olivia caressed Everly's cheek and said, "Are you sure? If you leave now, you'll have to cut all ties with your past."

His visit made me more determined than ever.I'll always be a toy to him.I need to regain the dignity that I lost.

“Alright.I was waiting for you to say that."

Ethan didn't restrict Olivia's phone.She had been contacting Jack in secret.

Ethan was right.He wouldn't harm her.

She wasn't related to Jack.

Why would he help her? No matter what motive Jack might have, her children would've been long dead without him.

With that alone, she was willing to trust him.

Even After Death Chapter 948-After a round of communications, they decided to leave that very night.

There were a total of 352 security cameras on the island.

Olivia had marked them down some time ago. It wouldn't be hard for her to avoid all of them.

She reached the coastline under the hill with ease while bringing her children along. When the sea breeze blew toward them, Everly shuddered.

This was where Olivia buried the bodies she dissected.

There were at least 30 to 50 bodies buried in the area. Even the wind felt eerily chilly to her. She also felt a chill go down her spine.

For that reason, most of the maids never came here. It was the perfect spot for running away.

Everly lowered her voice and said, "I'm starting to think you did this on purpose. You've become very cunning, Liv.”

"I've failed too many times. I really don't want to fail this time.”

Mom, where are we going?"""

“Don't you miss your godfather? We're going to meet him now.”

Jack was already waiting for them. The children ran toward him in delight.

Godfather, I missed you!

Zack leaped into Jack's arms. Jack wrapped his arms around him. It seemed like he missed the children too.

Alicia also went over while calling his name.

Jack crouched down and carried her in his arms gently.

Everly nudged Olivia and asked, “When did you get a lover like him? So mysterious too. Is it because he's ..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Alicia took off Jack's mask and kissed him on the cheek. "Godfather ..."

That was the first time Olivia saw Jack's face. She initially thought there would be blemishes on his face, but it was clean, and his features were defined. He was a handsome man.

For some reason, she felt like Jack resembled Ethan a little.

Jack quickly put his mask back on. "Let's go before things go awry."

Olivia came back to her senses. She figured it was probably the dim lighting that caused her to make a mistake. She grabbed Everly's arm and boarded the speedboat.

She didn't know that there were also a lot of hidden cameras on the island besides the security cameras. They were hidden in trees and bushes. They could even be moved nimbly.

The hidden cameras captured the footage of Olivia and the children and sent it to Ethan's phone. Ethan had long known that Olivia wanted to leave the island with Everly.

The footage showed them escaping frantically. Brent asked worriedly, "Mr. Miller, are you really letting Mrs. Miller leave? We won't be able to keep her under surveillance once she leaves the island.“

It was their last chance.

"I promised to set her free.”

But Ethan had another contingency plan. He gave her Joel Tucker's business card a long time ago. She would definitely contact Rufus if she wanted to further her medical career.

Ethan stared at the man in the video. He could admit that he was jealous to see his children run toward another man with such joy.

These two children had never even called him Dad"" before."

Alicia suddenly took off Jack's mask in the video. His face was displayed on the huge monitor.

Even though it was just for a few seconds, everyone who saw it was stunned.

"K-Kurt!”

“How could it be him? Isn't he dead?"

The bullet hit Kurt in his heart. He was a dead man.

Ethan stared at the mask and said, "It's Jack. If my speculation is correct, Kurt had a twin brother. He must be Kurt's twin.”

Oh my god. What a weird turn of events. Kurt actually had a brother? Why didn't we know about that?

“That's a problem for the Stone family. Mobilize the men on the island. Stop them!"

Ethan muttered, "I'm sorry, Liv.”

He had planned to let her go, but Jack's identity was too mysterious. If he was really Kurt's brother, Ethan couldn't just let him roam freely.

Suddenly, the alarm on the island started blaring.

Everly started to feel nervous. She almost fell off the boat. She had an anxious expression on her face.

“How did they realize we're missing so quickly? What should we do, Liv? If we're captured, would Ethan put me in a cage too?”

If you have the time to talk, use it to run. Let's go faster, Jack.

Olivia was carrying both her children. They wore thick jackets, and she held them in her arms.

Jack sped the boat up, and they zoomed into the distance.

Olivia comforted Everly, "Don't worry. Even if they've noticed that we've escaped, they wouldn't know where we are.”

As soon as she said that, Olivia heard the sound of a helicopter above her. The helicopter was flying over the sea and headed toward them.

A thought crept into her mind. Ethan knew her whereabouts all along!

"Liv, both of you are so cunning. I thought you were the smart one, but he's even smarter than you. It's all over. We won't be able to get away this time. Will I be punished severely when we get back?

You're even running away with another man. Should I just say he's my man instead?"""

Olivia was rendered speechless. "Shut your mouth.”

Everly snickered. “I'm so loyal, right?”

“Don't be afraid. I'll take care of it," Jack said.

He had spent so many days preparing. The speedboat wasn't the only thing he prepared.

It would take some time for the others to catch up to them.

The only threats were the two helicopters above them.

Since Olivia was onboard, they could only follow. They could never attack Olivia.

The water droplets brought up by the boat splashed on Olivia’s face. She had a very determined look on her face.

“Eve, there's no turning back. We've chosen this path, so we'll have to stick to it. Do you want to go back and be his lover for the rest of your life? Do you want to be given a check and kicked out once you grow old?

“We're still young. We can still change our future for the better. I wasn't even afraid when I was diagnosed with terminal cancer. You shouldn't be afraid either.”

Everly nodded. “I believe in you, Liv!”

Kelvin was very anxious. If they weren't so far away, he would've gone after them himself.

“Mr. Miller, this won't do. Our men don't dare to shoot at them to slow them down. They're in the air while Ms. Fordham is on the water. Accidents might happen.”

Ethan hadn't planned on stopping her, so he didn't make any preparations. He couldn't do anything but watch on anxiously.

They saw Jack stop the boat at an island.

"The island is covered by a dense forest. The helicopters can't land.”

Ethan slammed his hand on the table. Jump onto the trees from the rope ladders. The other helicopter will stay on standby. Jack must have made preparations.”"

Even After Death Chapter 950-As soon as the boat reached shore, Jack quickly took the children from Olivia and said urgently, “Quick! Follow me!”

Olivia held Everly's hand as they got on the island. They followed Jack to a tunnel that he had dug beforehand.

“Although they won't be able to find us for now, we can't just stay hidden down here. Won't we be trapped when they surround the island?”

Jack's forehead was covered in sweat. He said in a deep voice, "If my calculations are correct, they'll have the people from one helicopter come to look for us while the other helicopter remains on standby. This type of helicopter only has enough fuel for three hours of flight.

"It'll take them some time to get people to surround the island. With the people they have on the island now, it'd be impossible to find us in the darkness like this. We just need to wait for two hours.”

Everly looked at him with admiration. What's your name, Mister? You're so smart. You've thought of everything.”"

“Jack,” he replied emotionlessly.

He brought the others to a huge underground cave. There was food and drinks there. Jack handed Olivia a bottle and said, "Drink some water and take a break. We'll be on the move for the next few days.”

Thanks.

The children were used to life on the run. They weren't fazed by his words.

As Jack mentioned, the island hadn't been developed by anyone before. It was filled with rich, natural vegetation.

It would take three whole days to walk around the entire island on foot. Ethan's men weren't familiar with the place. It would be impossible for them to find Olivia and company.

Everly leaned on Olivia and fell asleep for a while. When Jack came back, the helicopter was gone. Once they lost the eyes in the sky, they could escape into the vast ocean, and Ethan could never find them.

Olivia felt a sense of peace after they left the island. They had been running for the entire night. Dawn broke, and the sunrise at sea was very pretty.

Olivia couldn't hold herself back anymore. She yelled, “I'm finally free!”

It had been years. She finally did it. She finally broke free from Ethan's grasp. From then onward, she could live her own life.

Everly was infected by her joy. She hugged Olivia and said, " Liv, I'm so happy.”

“Eve, look forward ...”

Olivia was still overcome with joy, but she suddenly felt her stomach churn. She leaned over the side of the boat and started to gag.

Mom! The children looked at her worriedly. The concern in their eyes was apparent.

Everly came over to her and asked, "What's wrong, Liv? Did you catch a cold from the cold sea breeze?"

Even Jack slowed the boat down. "I'll slow down.”

"I'm okay. It must've been the wind and because I haven't had anything to eat. Ignore me. Go faster. I don't want them to catch up.”

“Alright. To prevent them from finding us, we'll be on our way after refueling at the next island. You'll have to put up with the discomfort for now.”

They soon arrived at the next island. Everly helped Olivia onto the island and handed her a fresh coconut.

Drink some coconut juice to alleviate your fatigue.” Olivia sat under the shade of a tree and enjoyed the sea breeze. She took a sip from the coconut and started to feel a little better."

Jack found some fresh ingredients for her. "Are you hungry?”

Olivia felt much better after eating. She didn't want to delay the schedule, so she said, “Let's go.”

“How are you feeling?”

“I'm fine. Let's go.”

After they traveled some distance, Olivia started to vomit again. She threw up all the food she ate on the island.

“What's wrong? Are you seasick?"

Everly was worried.
