Chapter 141
Olivia tried her best to put on a smile. “That’s fine.”
Connor looked like a different person now. He had changed out of branded clothes and into the clothes that belonged to Martha’s children.
Olivia wondered how many children had worn the same clothes. There were even patches sewn on older patches.
The clothes were thicker, firmer, and also warmer.
Connor didn’t seem to mind, though. He followed behind Olivia like a little puppy.
Sometimes, he would curiously try to chase after cats or pull at the grass by the roadside. Everything here was new to him.
Olivia had followed him onto the boat with the resolve that she might lose her life. Hence, she quickly got used to the island.
It wasn’t as advanced as the city, but it was much cleaner.
As Olivia held Connor in her arms, enjoying the breeze, she suddenly had the urge to just live here.
But she knew very well that it would be a matter of time before they were found, even if the island wasn’t marked on the map.
One day, Ethan’s influence would reach this island.
Only dozens of families lived on this island, and everyone led a simple life. That was what Tom told Olivia.
They had kidnapped Connor for ransom. But that was because they wanted to improve the living conditions on the island.
The children here never went to school, and they spent their whole lives fishing at sea.
When they got sick, they could only surrender to fate. A few villagers died of pain because they didn’t have money for treatment at the hospital.
Olivia felt that it was ironic. Marina could easily spend a million dollars on Connor’s first birthday celebration.
But the children here were drooling at the sight of cakes stolen from the kitchen.
They divided the cake among themselves into small portions. After they ate the cake, they even licked their lips in fond remembrance.
What was good, and what was evil?
What was right, and what was wrong?
As night fell, Olivia caught the delicious scent of cooking. An excited look appeared in Tom’s eyes.
