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.

She finally realized that she wasn't on the cargo ship anymore. She was on a military naval ship.

Although they simply looked at her without speaking up, she still felt uneasy.
Logan came out after Olivia and said, "Don't worry. I'll take you to her." He noticed that Olivia was frozen in place,
so he tugged on her sleeve. "This way."
Olivia lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong. She suddenly noticed that Logan seemed to
feel at home amongst the military personnel.

He brought Olivia to another room without much trouble.
Meanwhile, Alicia was lying in bed, still unconscious.
Olivia didn't care about anything else anymore. She rushed toward her daughter.
Looking at her tightly shut eyes, Olivia frantically asked a military doctor nearby, "How is she, doctor?"
The doctor replied in a friendly tone, "Don't worry, Ms. Fordham. She swallowed some seawater, but I've helped her
expel it. But she's still very young and was probably in shock. She'll regain consciousness soon."
Olivia sighed in relief and looked at Alicia quietly under the bright, white light.
Compared to the blurry ultrasound she had seen before, Alicia's features had become more defined.
She also looked a lot like Ethan, as if they were made from the same mold.
There was also another person she resembled—she looked like the young Leia in the pictures before she was
disfigured.

electrocuted.
Olivia realized her own body temperature was low. She didn't want Alicia to feel the chill.
"Ms. Fordham, I've performed a detailed check on her. She's fine, but both of you need to change into dry clothes
immediately. Or else you might catch a cold.
"We don't have any children's clothes on the ship, so we can only wrap her in adult clothes. Please bear with it for
the moment. We'll think of something else when we reach the shore," the doctor said.
Olivia nodded. "Thank you, doctor. I'll help her change."
"Okay." The doctor handed her some clean male clothes. "By the way, I've asked someone to prepare some warm
milk for you, Ms. Fordham. Don't forget to drink it and warm yourself up."
"Understood," Olivia replied.
Suddenly, she abruptly looked at the doctor. "This is the first time we've met. How do you know my name?"
