Chapter 150
Even After Death
Olivia would feel much better staying on the island.
She didnât want to leave for the time being, no matter what reason it was.
She watched as the sky turned from dark to bright. As the sun rose, Olivia strolled around the island.
Everyone was nice to her. They enthusiastically invited her into their homes for breakfast. They also
thanked her for delivering some supplies.
Jerry went out even earlier than Olivia. He sat by the beach as he doodled with the art supplies she
bought.
His youthful and handsome face was filled with excitement. âMs. Olivia, howâs this?â
He had never formally learned to draw before, but he was talented beyond belief.
His black and white drawings in the past were amazing enough. So now that he could color them, they
looked even better. Olivia nodded, feeling comforted. âYou draw very well.â
If such talent could be coupled with more knowledge, Jerry would be able to achieve big things in the
future.
âYou taught me well, Ms. Olivia. Will you keep staying on the island?â Jerryâs eyes gleamed when he
looked at her. âYes,â Olivia replied uneasily. She didnât know how long she could stay here.
She didnât know which would come first, Ethan or death.
âMs. Olivia, you donât look too good. Youâve been upset for the past few days too. Are you worried
about Connor?â
âHe can eat and sleep whenever he wants, and people serve him every day. Thereâs nothing for me to
worry about.â
The next few days remained peaceful. No suspicious people arrived at the island. Oliviaâs tense mind
slowly relaxed.
The sea zone was huge here, and they were on an uncharted island. Other than the locals, no one
knew that this island existed.
Even if Ethan tried to use drones, the wind and snow were harsh at sea. It wouldnât be able to fly far
under such horrible weather.
At least Ethan wouldnât be able to find her anytime soon.
The smile returned to Oliviaâs face. She had already made plans. After she endured the length of
Ethanâs patience, the mastermind would have run out of patience too.
Olivia found her purpose here. Every day, she taught the children how to read. She also taught Jerry to
draw.
Sometimes, she would learn how to make shoes from Martha under the warm sun.
Jack would go fishing with the villagers. Sometimes, they would return only after a few days. Every time
they came back, their boats would be full.
Under the rays of the setting sun, everyone relished the joy of harvest. But Olivia noticed something off
about Jackâs hand.
âWere you hurt?â
Jack subconsciously hid his hand behind his back. He replied in a low voice, âItâs nothing.â
She forced his hand out. She found a large wound on his palm, and blood was streaming from it.
As Olivia stared at Jack, he looked away in embarrassment. He explained, âItâs a small cut. I
accidentally cut my hand when 1 was reeling in a huge fish.â
âItâs a huge wound. How can it be a small cut?â
Fortunately, she had bought a first aid kit when buying supplies last time. âCome with me.â
Under the sunset, the two sat down by the door. Olivia patiently bandaged his wounds. The golden rays
fell upon Jackâs mask,
giving him a warm glow.
âBe careful next time.â Olivia put the first aid kit away. She noticed that he was still staring at the
bandaged wound.
âWhatâs the matter? Is the bandage loose?â
âNo.â
The man raised his head. The sun tinted his black eyes with a faint light. His voice also sounded a little
gentler.
âYouâre the first person to have bandaged my wounds.â
Olivia calmly looked away. She didnât know where Jack came from. The people on the island didnât
know about his past either.
While she was lost in thought, Jack grabbed her hand. âWhat are you doing?â she asked.
âIâm giving you a present as thanks.â
