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."

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."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"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.
