Semua Bab Even After Death: Bab 141 - Bab 150

Jack looked at Olivia in confusion. Olivia didn't look back at him. Staring into the distance, she continued, "To be honest, I didn't mean it at first when I said I wanted to help you guys."As soon as you get involved with that person, you can never get away in one piece."The moment you get the ransom, you'll fall into his trap. When that happens, not just you three, but everyone on the island will be in trouble."When Jack heard that, he subconsciously touched the claw blade he hid at the side. Ignoring it, Olivia continued, "But that was until I saw the truth. You guys live in poverty, but your hearts have remained cheerful."The old people in this village don't even have enough money to treat their sicknesses. A lot of them died because of that."Jerry wants to learn to draw, but he can't even bring himself to use a precious pencil. Martha cut her softest clothes into a diaper for a child she doesn't know."I think I can understand you a little. You're probably not from ar

Jack also bought a new set of clothes for Connor.Overjoyed, the children kept shouting, "It's the new year! It's the new year!"Olivia never thought that she would be counting down to the new year on a special island. She didn't expect to spend the occasion with a group of strangers either.She even had Connor in her arms.After the celebratory dinner, the children gathered for fireworks at sunset. They even stuffed a sparkler or two in Connor's hands.Olivia took many photos of Connor today. Her phone ran out of battery a long time ago.Fortunately, Jack bought a charger for her. After connecting the charger to the solar panels, Olivia managed to charge her phone.As soon as Olivia snapped a photo, a smile appeared on her face.At that moment, she forgot about the suffering she endured when Ethan locked her up. She just wanted to be wild and free for once."Ms. Olivia, come and set off the fireworks with us.""Sure."Whistling, the fireworks shot into the sky and exploded.

Madam Burgess hastily gave Ethan a quick rundown of how she found Connor. Ethan frowned even deeper. "You didn't see anyone other than him?""No. When I found Master Connor, he was crying. He was also holding a hydrogen balloon in his hand. Oh, right, he also kept calling Mama.""Mama?" Ethan thought.Connor had never been willing to call Marina Mama, so the person he was calling for couldn't have been her. It could only be Olivia.Brent, who had already brought men to investigate the scene, reported to Ethan right away. "Mr. Miller, I've checked the surveillance."Ms. Fordham was the one who sent Master Connor back. She purposefully left Master Connor on Madam Burgess' way home from grocery shopping."That way, Madam Burgess would notice him.""Was there anyone else besides her?" Ethan asked."No.""Keep investigating."Ethan was even more confused now. Could it be just like Marina said, that Olivia had hired people to kidnap Connor?If she wanted to threaten him, why would

Olivia couldn't make out Ethan's expressions anymore, but she felt that he was smiling.When Ethan had finished speaking, he looked at Brent. "Is the speedboat not ready yet?"He wouldn't let Olivia leave just like that. But had just finished talking when his sight turned black. He collapsed out of the blue.It was entirely within expectations. After all, Ethan hadn't slept or eaten properly for so many days. He had a fever as well.Brent watched the speedboat getting farther away. He sighed helplessly."Run away, Mrs. Miller," he thought.Ethan's words still lingered in Olivia's mind. The speedboat had traveled a long way, but she couldn't feel any warmth in her body.She sat where she was, curled up into a ball. Her soul seemed to have been sucked out.Crouching in front of her, Jack gave her some tea. It was only then that she felt warmth. "If you're scared, I can send you back."Olivia took a sip. The sweetness chased away some of the darkness in her heart."I don't want

Jack swiftly led her into the forest. There was a treehouse in the forest, which Jerry showed her two days ago.Jack swept the fallen leaves away. Then, he led her into the underground secret base.It was completely dark underground, so Jack lit an oil lamp. The warm glow brightened up the whole base. When Olivia saw the things stored there, she was shocked."Are these all yours?" she asked, pointing at the firearms and weapons hanging on the wall.The man responded in a low voice without explaining too much. Grabbing a small handgun, he placed it in Olivia's hand."The truth always sides with the strong. No matter what happens in the future, you need a weapon to protect yourself."Touching the heavy gun, Olivia had a nervous look on her face. She gulped. "You're giving this to me?"Under the mask, Jack's dark eyes gleamed earnestly. He said in a cold voice, "If you can't escape, I hope that it'll be your final way out."He pointed the gun at his chest. "Remember this spot and
