Chapter 150
Olivia would feel much better staying on the island.
She didn’t want to leave for the time being, no matter what reason it was.
She watched as the sky turned from dark to bright. As the sun rose, Olivia strolled around the island.
Everyone was nice to her. They enthusiastically invited her into their homes for breakfast. They also thanked her for delivering some supplies.
Jerry went out even earlier than Olivia. He sat by the beach as he doodled with the art supplies she bought.
His youthful and handsome face was filled with excitement. “Ms. Olivia, how’s this?”
He had never formally learned to draw before, but he was talented beyond belief.
His black and white drawings in the past were amazing enough. So now that he could color them, they looked even better. Olivia nodded, feeling comforted. “You draw very well.”
If such talent could be coupled with more knowledge, Jerry would be able to achieve big things in the future.
“You taught me well, Ms. Olivia. Will you keep staying on the island?” Jerry’s eyes gleamed when he looked at her. “Yes,” Olivia replied uneasily. She didn’t know how long she could stay here.
She didn’t know which would come first, Ethan or death.
“Ms. Olivia, you don’t look too good. You’ve been upset for the past few days too. Are you worried about Connor?”
“He can eat and sleep whenever he wants, and people serve him every day. There’s nothing for me to worry about.”
The next few days remained peaceful. No suspicious people arrived at the island. Olivia’s tense mind slowly relaxed.
The sea zone was huge here, and they were on an uncharted island. Other than the locals, no one knew that this island existed.
Even if Ethan tried to use drones, the wind and snow were harsh at sea. It wouldn’t be able to fly far under such horrible weather.
At least Ethan wouldn’t be able to find her anytime soon.
The smile returned to Olivia’s face. She had already made plans. After she endured the length of Ethan’s patience, the mastermind would have run out of patience too.
Olivia found her purpose here. Every day, she taught the children how to read. She also taught Jerry to draw.
Sometimes, she would learn how to make shoes from Martha under the warm sun.
Jack would go fishing with the villagers. Sometimes, they would return only after a few days. Every time they came back, their boats would be full.
Under the rays of the setting sun, everyone relished the joy of harvest. But Olivia noticed something off about Jack’s hand.
“Were you hurt?”
Jack subconsciously hid his hand behind his back. He replied in a low voice, “It’s nothing.”
She forced his hand out. She found a large wound on his palm, and blood was streaming from it.
As Olivia stared at Jack, he looked away in embarra*sment. He explained, “It’s a small cut. I accidentally cut my hand when 1 was reeling in a huge fish.”
“It’s a huge wound. How can it be a small cut?”
Fortunately, she had bought a first aid kit when buying supplies last time. “Come with me.”
Under the sunset, the two sat down by the door. Olivia patiently bandaged his wounds. The golden rays fell upon Jack’s mask,
giving him a warm glow.
“Be careful next time.” Olivia put the first aid kit away. She noticed that he was still staring at the bandaged wound.
“What’s the matter? Is the bandage loose?”
“No.”
The man raised his head. The sun tinted his black eyes with a faint light. His voice also sounded a little gentler.
“You’re the first person to have bandaged my wounds.”
Olivia calmly looked away. She didn’t know where Jack came from. The people on the island didn’t know about his past either.
While she was lost in thought, Jack grabbed her hand. “What are you doing?” she asked.
“I’m giving you a present as thanks.”
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
