Chapter 131
Even After Death
The winds were strong. Connor was snuggled up in Oliviaâs arms as the snow swirled around them.
Olivia pointed at a spot in the ocean and said, âMy baby disappeared in this part of the ocean. He
wasnât as lucky as you. He stopped breathing as soon as he was taken out of my body. He never had
the chance to look at the sun.
âLittle one, do you think he feels lonely at the bottom of the ocean? Why donât you go and keep him
company? The water might be a bit chilly. You might feel uncomfortable for a bit, but itâll all be over
soonâ¦
âAnd finally, youâll completely disappear from this world. That would scar him for life. Youâre his favorite
son. That would surely break his heart, right?â
Olivia pinched his face with a sad smile. âAt least youâre not like my baby. His existence was a tragedy
from the minute he was conceived to the moment he passed.â
She held Connorâs hand as they slowly walked to the edge of the ship. âConnor look! It also snowed
heavily like this last year. Son, you must be lonely in the ocean. Donât worry, Iâve brought a friend for
you.â
The bottomless ocean was like a monster with its mouth wide open. It roared loudly like it wanted to
devour everything. Smiling gently at Connor, Olivia said, âIâm so sorry, darling. I wonât be able to repay
you for your sacrifice.â
Mina got the cake and turned around, only to see that Connor was gone. She was used to him going
off on his own since he learned to walk. But he could never get too far with his tiny limbs.
She held the cake in her hand as she went to look for him. She called out, âMaster Connor, where are
you hiding?â
But once she got a good look at the empty corridor, fear crept into her heart.
It only took her a short while to get the cake. How could a baby that just learned to walk disappear from
the long corridor? She looked at the railing. Connor shouldnât have been able to fall over it.
But she panicked and couldnât think straight. Dropping the cake, she ran toward the bow of the ship.
When she found Ethan, she told him, âMr. Miller, Master Connor has gone missing!â
Marina gave her a slap before saying, âAll I asked you to do was put him to bed. How could you lose
him like that? Youâre dead if something happens to my baby!â
Ethan glared at her, then turned to look at Brent. âGo check the security cameras. Find him.â
Mina was scared out of her wits. âMaster Conner disappeared in the time it took me to get him some
cake. Would he have fallen into the ocean?â
âThatâs impossible. Heâs too big to squeeze under the railing and too short to climb over it. Unless
someone threw him over.â Ethan quickly refuted her theory.
Someone?
Who would dare to harm his child on this ship? Unlessâ¦
Oliviaâs face flashed in Ethanâs mind.
It couldnât be. She loved Connor so much. She wouldnât hurt him.
Ethan disappeared from the deck.
Everyone else was panicking. The ship was so big and the child so small. If he really fell off the ship,
he wouldnât even be able to call for help.
On the other hand, Ethan was running straight to the top floor. The tragedy with Oliviaâs baby happened
there. Did she really bring Connor up there?
Ethan ran with all his strength, but the snow was falling heavily, obstructing
