Chapter 156


    Ethan opened the wooden door. The room had a simpleyout, and all the furniture was made of wood.


    There was a small bed in the room, and a drawing board was ced next to it.


    The picture showed cherry trees under the moonlight. The ind looked especially quiet in the moon’s


    glow.


    The artist was extremely skilled. From a nce, Ethan could tell that Olivia had drawn the picture.


    He was overjoyed when he confirmed it. He had finally found her.


    There was also a thick pile of drawings at the side. Ethan calmly looked through them.


    A picture showed fishermen returning in the evening light. Smiles filled the faces of the women and


    children.

    There was a youth weaving straw hats while another painted in the morning sunlight. A man with a


    metal mask leaned against a cherry tree.


    Perhaps Olivia didn’t mean anything when she drew it. But to Ethan, there was another meaning to this


    drawing.


    This was the man who took her away.


    Ethan had a cold air about him. He walked up to Martha with the picture in his hand. Then, he asked


    coldly, “Tell me, Ma’am. Where is she?”


    When Olivia saw Ethan entering Martha’s house, she had the urge to go back.


    A hand grabbed her wrist tightly. Coming back to her senses, she realized that it was Jack. He had


    returned before she knew it.


    Olivia was panicking. “He’s here!”


    “I know. Don’t be afraid.” Jack patted her head tofort her. “I’ll take you away. Come with me.”


    Olivia’s heart was in a mess as she panicked. She swiftly followed Jack down a path off the ind,


    where a speedboat was waiting. She would be free as soon as she got onto the boat.


    But she was doubtful. Could she achieve true freedom?


    She turned around to look. Someone had already found traces of her and reported it to Ethan right


    away,


    Ethan’s angry voice sounded over the speakers. “If you run away, Olivia, I’ll burn this whole ind to


    the ground!”


    Her nightmares hade true. Ethan’s voice clung to her tightly like a stubborn nightmare.


    Olivia’s defenses were destroyed. She said in a trembling voice, “I have to go back.”


    Jack said earnestly, “You still have a chance of survival if you leave now.”


    Olivia replied, “At the cost of how many lives? This ind doe existed on the map. The residents never


    even had proper documentation.


    “Did you see those warships? If he ims that everyone on the ind is a cruel terrorist, they’ll just


    open fire. They won’t even have to take responsibility for it.”


    Frowning, Jack asked, “Who exactly is he?”


    “I don’t know.” Olivia only knew that on the night he rescued her from the sea, Ethan was wearing


    camouge clothing. The warship nearby had just sunk a pirate ship.


    mes leaped into the sky, casting shadows on Ethan’s face. He looked like he was wearing a


    terrifying mask.


    After their marriage, he would asionally leave on a “business trip“. Those tripssted a few days up


    to a month. In those periods, she wouldn’t be able to contact him at all.


    There was more than one scar on his body. He had scars from des and even bullets.


    He never talked about it, and she never asked.


    She only had a vague idea that the Millers were influential like the Carltons.


    But she never cared who Ethan truly was.


    If she left, all the inders would get caught in the crossfire. She had already cut off the path she used


    to take, so she couldn’t go back anymore.


    While she was hesitating, Ethan had already approached him. He stood on the tall cliff, looking down at


    the world like a king. “Liv, I’ve said this before. You can’t escape.”
