Chapter 153
A naked and strong body came into view. Jack’s skin was a little darker than Ethan’s, and it was
genuinely tanned.
His shoulders were broad, and his waist was slim. The muscles on his chest were well–defined. Like
Ethan, there were some scars on his body as well.
The water droplets rolled down his well–defined abs. The man was full of masculine charm.
He held a cage in his arms. Behind him, the sun shone on the sea below, creating glowing ripples of
light.
Even though she couldn’t see his face, she could sense the joy coming from his thin face.
“It’s a huge harvest.”
Jack stepped onto shore with his bare feet. The seawater streamed down the legs of his combat pants.
With his movements, his muscles were displayed clearly.
Olivia couldn’t help but look away. “I’ll light a fire to roast the fish with.”

Olivia gathered some sticks and dried wood. She hastily brought the firewood back, but her stomach
flipped.
“What happened?” The man, who was gutting the fish, dashed over to her. Crouching on the ground,
he looked anxiously at
Olivia.
Olivia didn’t throw anything up. She caressed her stomach, her face pale. “It’s nothing. I just feel a little
uncomfortable. It happens a lot.”
“Is it very painful?”
A drop of water fell on her face. Looking up, Olivia met the man’s eyes underneath his mask. Drops of
water kept sliding off the ends of the man’s hair.
It was only then that she realized she was almost completely in the arms of the half–crouching man.
The man’s heat mingled with the moisture in the air as it crept onto her body. The suggestive
atmosphere slowly rose between them.
They weren’t touching each other. But Olivia still felt uncomfortable about the close distance.
Jack seemed to notice this as well. He backed away in haste. It was only then that Olivia said, “It
doesn’t hurt. I just feel like vomiting a little.”
When Martha heard that Olivia wasn’t feeling well, she came over to see her.
She asked in the local dialect, “What doesn’t feel right? Maybe you’ve gotten sick.”
Olivia shook her head. She knew that it was a recurring problem. She just happened to have run out of
gastric medication and painkillers.
“I’ll make something light for you to eat. Jack, go and buy medicine from one of the islands around us.
“I’ll go with you, Jack” Wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, Tom followed as well.
Jack left in a hurry with the talkative Tom
”
Taking Olivia’s hand, Martha said, “Don’t worry. The islands nearby don’t have a lot of resources, but
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwe can still buy gastric medication from them.”
Olivia looked at the sky. The weather was great, and even the sea breeze was gentle. But for some
reason, Olivia felt anxious as if something big was about to happen.
The cherry trees on the slope had already budded, and the flowers would bloom in a few days.
According to Jerry, she should wait until the sea breeze comes. The entire island would be surrounded
by beautiful cherry blossoms then.
On moonlit nights, the islanders would hang a small lamp under the cherry trees as they admired the
moon. The scenery was beautiful to the extreme.
Olivia, who used to have wonderful fantasies, was no longer in the mood to wait for the flowers to
bloom.
Jack had already arrived at an island nearby. He noticed that the atmosphere on the island was
different from before. There were some helicopters on the island.
The islands in the region were extremely poor, and they rarely received any tourists. How could there
be helicopters, then?
Tom had always been a sociable person. He grabbed a handful of melon seeds from his pocket, then
stopped a random passerby.
He asked, “Sir, what’s going on? Is some millionaire here on
