The fireworks shot up into the sky and exploded into a dazzling display of lights.
The kids were holding sparklers, but they weren't the least bit excited.
"Dad, Mom will come back to us if she sees the lights in the sky, right?" Zack said as he sobbed.
"She loves all of you very much. She'll come back soon. Don't cry."
Connor looked at the plum blossoms in the yard. He said calmly, "The cherry blossoms will bloom
soon.
"She promised me that she would meet me under the cherry blossom trees. She won't break her
promise."
Ethan felt horrible as he looked at the faces of the kids.
He wanted to find Olivia as soon as possible, but the kidnappers were well prepared. They didn't leave
any clues.
He could only hope that Olivia was still alive.
Back on the island, Olivia had just finished eating some cookies. Her stomach was full, but her heart
was empty.
She had gazed at the night sky countless times. It was one of the few entertainments she had on the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtisland.
It was New Year's Eve. The kids had to be eating dinner at the Heath Residence, right?
She thought about what that dinner would look like.
"Do you want to leave?" Wayne's voice rang from behind her.
"Just give me your word that you'll marry me. Then, I'll let you leave."
"And if I don't agree to marry you, will you keep me here forever or force me to do whatever you want?"
Olivia was immune to many poisons. Most drugs wouldn't work on her.
Besides, Wayne didn't plan to use such underhanded methods on her. He wanted her to accept him
willingly.
"I'll wait for as long as I need to, Dr. Ophelia. There are plenty of chances for you to accept me in the
future."
Olivia got up. "Keep waiting, then."
She set off some fireworks at the beach as a celebration of the New Year for herself.
It was midnight. There was only the sound of waves on the island. It's not as noisy as the cities.
She closed her eyes and chanted inwardly, "Happy New Year, everyone!"
The next morning, Olivia heard the sound of a helicopter starting up. Was Wayne leaving again?"
She made herself presentable and exited her room. She saw Wayne leaning on a tree nonchalantly.
"Do you want to head out?" he asked.
Olivia looked at him cautiously. "What do you mean?"
"Nothing. It's just that it would be sad to be on an island on the first day of the new year. I'll bring you
somewhere else. If you're willing, then put on this bracelet."
"To prevent me from escaping?"
"Yeah. The choice is yours."
This was Olivia's only chance to leave the island. There was no way she was going to let it go. She
would only have a chance to call for help if she was outside.
So, she put on the bracelet. It couldn't be removed without the password.
"Let's go."
This was the first time Olivia had left the island in two weeks.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe helicopter flew over the ocean for a long time. It landed on some different islands on the way.
When Olivia woke up, she had arrived at an unfamiliar place.
"This is..."
Judging from the architectural style of the city, she was probably in the Qualarian region.
She had never been to this part of the world before, so she didn't know which city she was in.
"Why did you bring me here? To visit a church?"
There were a lot of churches in the city. A lot of the passersby were wearing crosses.
Wayne kept a straight face and didn't reply. The car kept moving forward. The further it went, the more
desolate the place was.
The skyscrapers disappeared and were replaced by run-down houses and people dressed in rags.
Olivia guessed it was where Wayne was born.
At the same time, Olivia's tracker showed up on Ethan's men's screens.
"Mr. Miller, good news! Mrs. Miller is still alive."
