Reaching out, Ethan caressed Alicia's head.
In recent times, she had been getting closer to him. Other than the fact that she didn't call him her dad, he was no
different from a father to her.
"It's freshly baked. Have some," he said.
Olivia shook her head in exasperation. "Don't spoil her too much. Eating too much sweet food will give her cavities."
"It's okay, it's just a small piece." His gentle demeanor was a stark contrast to how he treated outsiders.
Olivia wondered if it was just her, but she felt that Logan was quite different from when she first met him.
But when she thought more about it, it seemed normal. After all, who would reveal their truest selves on the first
meeting?
"Is everything arranged already?" Olivia asked.
"Yes." Ethan continued, "By the way, Ms. Fordham, this is the layout of the ship. Take a look."
Olivia felt that the ship was quite big when she boarded it. But when she looked at it in detail, she realized that it
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas indeed enormous.
The lowest floor housed a large casino. The second floor showcased various antiques, herbs, weapons, and even
human organs, all of which were obtained via illegal methods.
There was nothing they couldn't buy as long as they had the money.
The third floor consisted of world-class luxury brands, whereas the fourth floor was a gourmet haven, serving top-
grade cuisines from all over the world.
The floor they were on right now was the accommodation area. There was also a huge infinity pool on the top floor,
which also served as a venue for wealthy people to have parties and set off fireworks.
As long as they had the money, they could even live on this ship forever.
Olivia's gaze fell on the second floor. "There's lots of medicinal herbs here, right?"
Ethan nodded. "They not only have herbs, but also some skilled doctors too."
"Do you think I can find someone who specializes in treating cancer?"
"Well ... I can't say for sure. I'll take a look for you. Just don't go out that door."
"Sure."
Olivia's illness had always been a heavy burden in Ethan's mind. As long as the tumor still existed, there would
always be a risk of it spreading.
He was also worried that Olivia would have an episode anytime soon. Her body couldn't take another chemotherapy
session after all.
So if that happened, and if she didn't have any special medication, only death awaited her.
Perhaps he might really encounter a miraculous doctor in this sort of place.
After all, he usually wouldn't get in contact with places like this. Those unlawful individuals were unethical, and they
only wanted to get more money. Still, there were skilled and remarkable people within their midst.
People usually rested during the day. So when the sky darkened, the whole ship would light up.
The true night had begun.
Carrying Alicia in her arms, Olivia sat on the bed and looked up at the moon hanging above the sea.
There was no wind that night, and the moon and stars shone brightly in the sky.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOlivia told Alicia stories about her childhood and Jeff. "When we get back home, we'll visit Grandpa at his grave,
alright? Your grandpa was looking forward to your birth back then, Allie.
"But sadly ... He didn't live to see the day. He made lots of toys for you two, and he loved you very, very much."
Alicia supported her head with her hands, saying softly, "Grandpa."
"Good girl. Mommy will bring you two home very soon."
Even though there were too many painful memories in that city, it also housed her memories from childhood into
adulthood.
Now, she was bringing her daughter back home. Her feelings this time were different as well.
Leaning in her arms, the child slowly fell asleep.
Olivia gazed at the sea quietly. She felt like she was drifting on the sea, and she had no idea where she would end
up in the next second.
In his formal attire, Ethan went to the second floor.
Various goods caught his attention. They even had the latest personal firearms.
Seeing how skilled Ethan was at handling the weapons, the arms merchant whispered in his ear. "Sir, I can see that
you know your stuff. Are you interested in the big ones? I can add you on WhatsApp."
