Olivia calmed down after she washed up.
She thought about how she had already been divorced from Ethan.
It would be okay even if she married another man. Some intimate contact was nothing. Was she supposed to be a
widow for life because of Ethan?
Olivia held Alicia's hand as they were about to leave the room.
Suddenly, Alicia stopped in her tracks and pointed at some greenish-purple liquid on the floor. "Mom, look."
Olivia lowered her head to look. What was that?
It looked like mulberry juice, but they didn't eat any mulberries that day. The cleaner came to clean up the room in
the morning too. Why would there be such a significant stain on the door?
Olivia opened the door and realized the floor had been mopped. However, it was still wet. The staff reminded them
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto be careful because the floor was wet.
Olivia asked in confusion, "I thought you cleaned in the mornings and evenings. Why did you clean in the afternoon
today?"
"It's because a server tripped and dropped food everywhere, so we cleaned the place up."
"Alright. Thanks for letting me know."
Olivia thought to herself that it was just a few drops of juice, probably accidentally spilled by someone else.
Ethan didn't reappear for the rest of the day. Olivia didn't go looking for him either. But Alicia was clearly uneasy
when the two of them were looking at the sunset by the beach.
"What's the matter?"
Alicia looked at the sunset and said, "I miss Zack."
They had been together since they were born. They were the same age, but Zack would always take care of her.
When they were on the run with Jack, they would sometimes not have any food, so Jack would hunt rabbits or fish.
They would always give her the most tender parts of the meat.
When they were in cities, they let her take the first bite of everything they bought. They were twins, and they were
meant to be together.
She was very happy when she was with Olivia, but she never forgot about Zack, not even for a second.
Olivia hugged her tightly. She missed Zack too.
The days on the island were safe and reassuring, but Olivia was also thinking about Zack.
They met very briefly and were separated quickly on the same night. He didn't even have the chance to call her
"Mom".
Jack's phone number was no longer in use, and Olivia faked her death overseas. So Jack didn't know she was still
alive.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf she attracted too much attention, she would risk being discovered by Ethan. He would take her and Alicia away,
and they would lose their freedom.
There was only one way for her to find Jack—it was on the island where they first met and the people on the island.
Maybe someone on the island was still in contact with him. She could find him through a third party. She needed to
let him know she was alive, at least.
She had no choice but to go back to Arlandia. She had to go even if Ethan might find her.
The following day, Logan, who had been gone for the entire day, appeared again.
He was respectful and distant, just like before, as if nothing had happened the previous day.
"Ms. Fordham."
Alicia was excited to see him. She held his hand and called out, "Uncle Logan."
Olivia would make his portion for breakfast whenever she made some food so he could experience the feeling of
being at home.
"Sit down and eat."
"Thanks, Ms. Fordham." He then looked at Olivia and said, "You looked troubled, Ms. Fordham. You can tell me
what's on your mind. Maybe I can help."
