Chapter 889
Joshua had set his phone on speaker mode.
So, of course, Ethan heard that as well. When Olivia answered the call, her voice sounded natural.
She also sounded a little wary, and she refused to reveal her location to Joshua.
“She went to the western suburbs in such a short amount of time, so someone must have taken her away.
“She didn’t ask for help over the phone, which means that this person wasn’t a threat to her.
“They probably even helped her kill those a*sa*sins.”
Kelvin had a puzzled look on his face.
“Judging by the injuries on those men, they died from one shot. It was one against three, so this person
must have great marksmanship.
“Since when has Mrs. Miller gotten to know such an amazing person?”
Ethan said, “This person has great aim, will kill someone without hesitation, and doesn’t pose a threat to
Liv. Only one person comes to mind.”
He thought of that man he encountered on the ship some time ago.
“It’s Jack!”
Olivia had returned to Aldenvine just to meet Jack. It had been so many days, so the code she left must
have matched up with Jack’s.
“Mrs. Miller should be safe if she’s with Jack. What do we do now? Should we get her back? After all,
they’re alone together-”
“If we go right now, we’ll be exposing my identity.”
Ethan had finally gotten close to Olivia by making use of his identity as Logan, hence earning Olivia’s trust.
If she realized that he was Logan, Olivia would be furious.
He had spent six months slowly building her trust in him. It would be destroyed in an instant.
“Send someone to protect her in the shadows, and don’t ever show themselves. Alicia is still on the
island, so she will eventually look for her child.”
“Understood.”

“Remember, Jack is very good at shaking off surveillance. Do not get too close to them.”
“Got it, Mr. Miller. We’ll get to it right away.”
Ethan looked at Brent. “Investigate the identities of those dead men.”
Olivia was still alive, and the news was making the rounds.
Could it be that she had revealed her face on the ship?
The enemy was quite vicious. If Jack hadn’t arrived on time today, Olivia’s life might truly be in danger.
Ethan had to guard against that.
The furniture in the cabin was quite simple. There was a wooden bed with a mattress on it. There was
only one blanket as well.
Zack felt sleepy early on, but he held out for a long time. Jack stopped the conversation as well.
“It’s getting late, so you and Zack should go to sleep first. This place is safe, at least.”
“There’s only one bed.”
“I’ll keep watch for the night. You and Zack should sleep. This place isn’t very comfortable, so please
endure it.”
Even so, Jack was kind enough to boil some water so that Olivia could wash up a little before going to
bed.
Holding Zack in her arms, Olivia was wide awake. Jack was sitting at the door, leaning against the wood
as he closed his eyes and rested.
Olivia felt bad for him.
As if sensing her gaze, Jack said calmly, “You don’t have to mind me. I’ve already gotten used to life like
this.
“We have a cabin here, which can shield us from the elements. It’s a decent enough place.
“Just go to sleep. We’ll make plans tomorrow.”
After going through so much, Olivia was tired out as well. There was only a candle lighting up the cabin,
and it exuded a gentle light.
She observed Zack’s face in detail. He was a boy, but he looked very much like her.
He had a light dimple on his left cheek, and when he smiled, he looked adorable.
If he wore a skirt, people could mistake him for a girl.
Olivia gently caressed Zack on the back. She finally felt whole in her heart.
The child she had been searching for and missing for so long was right in her arms.
She thought of the torturous days and nights in the past. They weren’t in vain, after all.

She would protect her children well. She wouldn’t let them go through the pain of losing their mother
again.
Olivia gently planted a k*ss on Zack’s forehead.
“Go to sleep, darling. I’ll always love you.”
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 …
