Chapter 152
“Yes, that’s it. Be more determined. If you don’t have the resolve, you’ll still be the one getting hurt next time. Remember your past.”
With a bang, Olivia fired the gun. Her arms turned numb. She wasn’t used to the strong recoil yet.
Even though she didn’t hit the bullseye, she managed to hit the target.
“Well done. You have to believe in yourself.”
Jack stood behind her again, adjusting her posture. Then, he said softly in her ear, “Olivia, may you be your own sun in the
future.
“You won’t need to borrow light from anyone else. You were born with wings, so you should be soaring in the sky. Don’t stay on the ground any further.”
Olivia looked at the target in the distance. She pretended that it was her current self.
She didn’t know when it started, but her brilliant self had turned meek. She couldn’t do anything but be controlled by others.
Not just Ethan, but even Olivia herself hated what she looked like right now.
Shooting forward, the bullet hit the bullseye.
“See? This is what you should be like.” Jack let go of her. “There isn’t much here, but we do have plenty of bullets.”
Looking at Jack, Olivia had the urge to ask him about his identity.
When she thought that everyone had their secrets, Olivia changed her mind. She said softly, “Thanks.”
For the next few days, she would be here every day. Jack didn’t hide anything either. He taught her lots of ways and skills to fight.
He even took her to hunt wild rabbits and chickens in the mountains. Olivia was a smart person. She was quick to pick up new skills, even shooting.
In just a few days, she could already hunt on her own.
She couldn’t bring herself to hurt the rabbits at first, but now, she could skin them skillfully. She also cleaned fish and roasted them over an open fire.
This was a life she had never experienced before. Jack seemed very experienced in survival skills. So, both his face and past were intriguing.
Days like this caused her to forget her anxiety and the fear she had of Ethan.
Every day, she would roam the mountains with Jack. She felt that her b*dy had gotten much stronger.
It was different from when it used to suffer from the side effects of chemotherapy. Back then, she would start gasping for breath after picking up pace a little.
There wasn’t any internet connection here, so it felt like she was closed off from the rest of the world. Olivia felt very fulfilled
here.
She would even follow Jack out to sea sometimes and sail on the raging ocean. She thoroughly enjoyed every single day here.
When she was on the endless ocean, she would often see pods of dolphins.
She also saw whales lazily coming up for air and sea turtles with seaweed hanging on their bodies.
Jack told her that in spring, everything on the island would come back to life. All the flowers would be in full bloom.
When that happened, not only would they get lots of fish, but the island would be extremely pretty as well.
Olivia suddenly looked forward to it. She wanted to see the beautiful ocean and the lively island in spring.
“What are you zoning out for?” Jack stuffed a cleaned apple into her hand.
Olivia returned to her senses. She smiled. “I’m looking at that cherry tree. It should bloom in a few days.
“I’m suddenly looking forward to the flowers blooming in spring here. I’m imagining the beautiful sights.”
Jack’s gaze pa*sed over her face. “Yes, it’s truly beautiful. I’ll go check if there’s fish in the cages we set up a few days ago.”
Olivia almost forgot about them. A few days ago, she weaved her first cage. She wondered if something interesting was trapped in it.
“I’ll go with you.” Taking a bite of the apple, she followed behind Jack. She had gotten to know the island very well in the past few days.
She followed Jack to the spot where they set up the cages before.
One of the cages was located in a deeper part of the sea. Without another thought, Jack took off his clothes and jumped into the sea.
Olivia was amazed at his health. She would start coughing if she was exposed to the wind for too long. Even though spring was getting closer, it was still quite cold out there.
While she was thinking, she heard the man coming out of the water with a splash.
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 …
