Chapter 140
Even After Death
âDeal.â
At first, Olivia felt that Jack was too quick to agree. But when she opened the door to look for Connor,
she was stunned by the view before her.
The scenery was beautiful. She could see the azure sky, the pretty blue ocean, and the green
mountains.
They were on an island surrounded by the sea. It felt like they had been abandoned by the rest of the
world.
This was why he didnât have to threaten her at all. There wasnât any signal here, and no one would
hear her even if she shouted.
As long as they didnât have the intention to harm Connor, Olivia would never dream of risking anything.
As soon as Olivia opened the wooden door, she saw Connor on the ground, trying to chase a kitten.
The clothes on his back were covered in dirt, but he looked extra happy as he giggled.
He kept mumbling the word âkitty.â
âThis kid doesnât behave like a rich baby at all. Heâs a good kid. I like him.â
While Jack was speaking, Olivia was already running toward Connor. Connor also stretched out his
arms as he shouted happily, âMama!â
Tom was confused. âAre you sure heâs not your son?â
Olivia said a little sadly, âHeâs just a baby. Heâll call anyone his mommy.â
âThat may not be the case. Tomâs mother was worried that he would get hungry, so she fed him some
milk. He didnât even spare her a glance.â
Olivia remembered that the child had called her Mama when they first met.
She recalled that Connor was only born after her child died. Could it be that her child had reincarnated
into Connor? Was that why they were extra close?
Holding the child tighter, Olivia kissed him on the cheeks. âIâm so glad youâre okay.â
âDonât worry, Miss. We didnât bully him. I wanted to save the cake I stole, so I didnât eat it, but I gave
him a piece anyway.â
Olivia had gathered enough information on their living condition. The island didnât even have basic
amenities. There were no wires, no internet, and no signals.
They only had a solar panel they bought from the outside world, and electric lighting was rare at night.
Fortunately, the island was rich in resources, and there was also a freshwater source. The few
islandersâ lives depended wholly
on nature.
They didnât even steal the jade pendant hanging on Connorâs neck.
In reality, these people were truly goodânatured.
While Olivia pondered, Connorâs face suddenly turned red. Olivia had never taken care of a child
before, so she asked worriedly, âWhatâs the matter?â
Connor seemed to be exerting his strength. In the next moment, Olivia felt warmth on her palm, and a
nasty smell invaded
her nostrils.
âOof, the kid pooped.â Tom pinched his nose, distorting his mask in the process.
Martha Jenkins, Tomâs mother, appeared. âPass him to me, Miss. Iâll clean him up.â
Olivia subconsciously refused to give the child away. âIâll do it.â
Martha poured the boiled water into the basin. It was Oliviaâs first time cleaning up a child, so her
movements were clumsy. Connor wasnât irritated, though. He sprawled on her legs and grinned happily.
When Olivia was done, Martha took a piece of cloth cut from a shirt. She dried Connor, then placed a
diaper under him.
Martha was in her 50s, and her head was covered in silver hair. The skin on her fingers was rough.
There was a gentle yet embarrassed smile on her wrinkled face as she said, âI hope you donât mind,
Miss.
âWe donât have those things in the city, so we can only use a homemade diaper.â
Tom had already taken off his mask, revealing a handsome face underneath.
He said earnestly, âMom didnât want the babyâs skin to get irritated, so she made the diaper from her
thermal clothing.
âShe only had one set, and it was her birthday gift from Jack too.â
Olivia looked at the diaper which had yellowed from the washing. She had a complicated feeling in her
heart.
