Even After Death Novel (Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller) novel Chapter 958

Chapter 958

It was like Jack knew what she was about to ask.

"Ask away."

"We've only known each other for a short time. I know you helped me investigate someone because of Martha and the others, but what about the things you helped me with afterward?

"You helped me out behind the scenes and raised my children for me. Even when I asked you to help me escape, you helped out to the best of your abilities without any complaints.

"We're not family, but you risked your life to do all these things for me. There has to be a reason why you're doing all this, right?

A dagger appeared in Jack's hand out of nowhere. This was the first time Olivia had seen his weapon. It looked like it was extremely sharp.

At that moment, Jack seemed mysterious with a hint of viciousness.

"Why don't you guess why I'm doing this?"

Jack's voice was low and sounded especially eerie in the dark. It sent a chill down Olivia's spine.

"I don't know. All I know is that no one does anything for no reason. I know that there's a price on everything. So, Jack, what do you want?"

After meeting up with him again, Olivia suggested paying him some money as payment for taking care of her children for two years. But Jack didn't accept it.

"People like me live each day like it's our last. I've grown numb to the evils of the world and the deaths of people close to me.

"Martha saved my life back then, and I've been living on the island since. Then, you showed up, and the development of the island started.

"I planned to leave the island and return to walking my own path. Then, I saw a bounty for your life when I was in the organization. That's why I helped out.

"Saving your children was just a coincidence. But now, I'm wanted by my organization, and I'm past the point of no return."

Jack turned toward her and said calmly, "As for why I saved you, it’s probably because I saw the meaning of life in you. You probably find this reason laughable."

Olivia could sense that Jack had been through a lot.

"Don't you have any family?"
