Chapter 307
Olivia was worried, so she put on makeup in a hurry. She made her skin tanner and drew a few freckles over her cheeks.
Someone who was close to her might not be able to recognize hier.
Slowly, she pulled her blanket down to reveal her face. “Ma’am, is something wrong? I’m feeling seasick, sorry.”
“We’re trying to catch a group of drug dealers. Please be cooperative. It will be a simple interrogation.”
The female officer took her book out and asked, “What’s your name? What do you work as? Where are you going? How many people are there onboard?”
Olivia managed to answer those questions calmly.
When the female officer was going to leave the cabin, she suddenly thought of something and took a pack of medicine out of her pocket.
“I happened to bring along some medicine for seasickness. It’s effective.”
“Thank you.” Olivia reached out for it.
The female officer looked at Olivia’s fair arm, alarming Olivia.
There was a huge difference in skin color between her face and arm.
Fortunately, the female officer didn’t say anything.
She shoved her book into her bag and stood up. “Get well soon.”
When the female officer left, Olivia’s back was already drenched in sweat.
The officers alighted from the ship.
Olivia and Colin, who had put on makeup, smiled at each other.
He said, “We’re fine now. It’ll take a little longer before we can continue our journey.”
“Okay.”
The night was getting darker, and the rain didn’t seem to be ceasing soon.
Raindrops pattered against the window, drawing lines over lines.
After taking a shower, Olivia wore a white nightgown and rested against the headboard.
Snowball was sleeping in her arms.
Only then could she read the book. She almost finished half of the story when she realized that the ship hadn’t started the journey.
She observed outside through the window. There were rays of light on the black sea.
Yawning, she felt sleepy. When she was going to close the book to get some sleep, the sound of a propeller whirring resounded.
It was a helicopter.
She could hear it so loudly that it woke her up.
It was unsuitable to fly a helicopter in the heavy rain.
Just who was flying a helicopter in such weather?
Olivia wondered if it was the drug dealers.
Her heart began racing again. As the whirring sound got louder, the book in her hands fell onto the ground.
Snowball, who was disturbed by the noise, looked out of the window in displeasure.
2/2
She was shell-shocked by the scene.
Before she knew it, their ship was surrounded by a circle of maritime boats!
The officers were directing their lamps at their ship!
A sense of foreboding dawned upon her. She ran out of the cabin with hasty steps.
Colin was on the deck before her.
It was as though they were surrounded by lions.
Shined by multiple lamps, they had nowhere else to go.
The majestic waves were roaring along with the strong wind.
“Sorry, Olivia. It looks like we’re tricked.” Colin looked at her apologetically, but his voice was gentle.
She stared at the battleship, which was advancing in their direction.
The size of their ship and the battleship were that of a little and an adult turtle.
Ethan was standing at the bow with his coat fluttering against the wind. Brent was holding an umbrella for him behind him.
Like the Navy’s general, he held the railings while looking at them from a higher altitude.
He said something, and she knew what it was.
“Liv, you can’t run away from me.”
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 …
