Chapter 825
Even After Death
Reaching out, Ethan caressed Aliciaâs head.
In recent times, she had been getting closer to him. Other than the fact that she didnât call him her dad,
he was no different from a father to her.
âItâs freshly baked. Have some,â he said.
Olivia shook her head in exasperation. âDonât spoil her too much. Eating too much sweet food will give
her cavities
âItâs okay, itâs just a small piece.â His gentle demeanor was a stark contrast to how he treated outsiders.
Olivia wondered if it was just her, but she felt that Logan was quite different from when she first met
him.
But when she thought more about it, it seemed normal. After all, who would reveal their truest selves
on the first meeting?
âIs everything arranged already?â Olivia asked.
âYes Ethan continued, âBy the way, Ms. Fordham, this is the layout of the ship. Take a look.â
Olivia felt that the ship was quite big when she boarded it. But when she looked at it in detail, she
realized that it was indeed enormous.
The lowest floor housed a large casino. The second floor showcased various antiques, herbs,
weapons, and even human organs, all of which were obtained via illegal methods.
There was nothing they couldnât buy as long as they had the money.
The third floor consisted of world-class luxury brands, whereas the fourth floor was a gourmet haven,
serving top-grade cuisines from all over the world.
The floor they were on right now was the accommodation area. There was also a huge infinity pool on
the top floor, which also served as a venue for wealthy people to have parties and set off fireworks.
As long as they had the money, they could even live on this ship forever.
Oliviaâs gaze fell on the second floor. âThereâs lots of medicinal herbs here, right?â
Ethan nodded. âThey not only have herbs, but also some skilled doctors too.â
âDo you think I can find someone who specializes in treating cancer?â
âWell I canât say for sure. Iâll take a look for you. Just donât go out that door.â
âSure.â
Oliviaâs illness had always been a heavy burden in Ethanâs mind. As long as the tumor still existed,
there would always be a risk of it spreading.
He was also worried that Olivia would have an episode anytime soon. Her body couldnât take another
chemotherapy session after all.
So if that happened, and if she didnât have any special medication, only death awaited her.
Perhaps he might really encounter a miraculous doctor in this sort of place.
After all, he usually wouldnât get in contact with places like this. Those unlawful individuals were
unethical, and they only wanted to get more money. Still, there were skilled and remarkable people
within their midst.
People usually rested during the day. So when the sky darkened, the whole ship would light up.
The true night had begun.
Carrying Alicia in her arms, Olivia sat on the bed and looked up at the moon hanging above the sea.
There was no wind that night, and the moon and stars shone brightly in the sky.
Olivia told Alicia stories about her childhood and Jeff. âWhen we get back home, weâll visit Grandpa at
his grave, alright? Your grandpa was looking forward to your birth back then, Allie. But sadly. much.â
He didnât live to see the day. He made lots of toys for you two, and he loved you very, very
Alicia supported her head with her hands, saying softly, âGrandpa.â
âGood girl. Mommy will bring you two home very soon.â
Even though there were too many painful memories in that city, it also housed her memories from
childhood into adulthood.
Now, she was bringing her daughter back home. Her feelings this time were different as well.
Leaning in her arms, the child slowly fell asleep.
Olivia gazed at the sea quietly. She felt like she was drifting on the sea, and she had no idea where she
would end up in the next second.
In his formal attire, Ethan went to the second floor.
Various goods caught his attention. They even had the latest personal firearms.
Seeing how skilled Ethan was at handling the weapons, the arms merchant whispered in his ear. âSir, I
cam see that you know your stuff. Are you interested in the big ones? I can add you on WhatsApp.â
