Chapter 958


    It was like Jack knew what she was about to ask.


    “Ask away.”


    “We’ve only known each other for a short time. I know you helped me investigate someone because of


    Martha and the others, but what about the things you helped me with afterward?


    “You helped me out behind the scenes and raised my children for me. Even when I asked you to help


    me escape, you helped out to the best of your abilities without anyints.


    “We’re not family, but you risked your life to do all these things for me. There has to be a reason why


    you’re doing all this, right?


    A dagger appeared in Jack’s hand out of nowhere. This was the first time Olivia had seen his weapon.


    It looked like it was extremely sharp.


    At that moment, Jack seemed mysterious with a hint of viciousness.


    “Why don’t you guess why I’m doing this?”


    Jack’s voice was low and sounded especially eerie in the dark. It sent a chill down Olivia’s spine.


    “I don’t know. All I know is that no one does anything for no reason. I know that there’s a price on


    everything. So, Jack, what do you want?”


    After meeting up with him again, Olivia suggested paying him some money as payment for taking care


    of her children for two years. But Jack didn’t ept it.


    “People like me live each day like it’s ourst. I’ve grown numb to the evils of the world and the deaths


    of people close to me.


    “Martha saved my life back then, and I’ve been living on the ind since. Then, you showed up, and


    the development of the ind started.


    “I nned to leave the ind and return to walking my own path. Then, I saw a bounty for your life


    when I was in the organization. That’s why I helped out.


    “Saving your children was just a coincidence. But now, I’m wanted by my organization, and I’m past the


    point of no return.”


    Jack turned toward her and said calmly, “As for why I saved you, it’s probably because I saw the


    meaning. of life in you. You probably find this reasonughable.”


    Olivia could sense that Jack had been through a lot.


    “Don’t you have any family?”


    “Family? Nothing of the sort.”


    As expected, the sense of loneliness emanating from him wasn’t a coincidence.


    “My only family has passed away. I don’t have any family now.”

    Olivia could feel the weight of his loneliness when he said that.


    “Jack, if you don’t mind, my children and I can be your family. I think If I had a brother, he’d be like you.


    “Although we’re not blood-rted, you’ve been taking good care of me. You’re just like a brother to me.


    The kids love you too. You won’t be alone anymore.”


    “Brother…” Jack lowered his head and murmured.


    The word seemed so unfamiliar but also familiar at the same time.


    “What’s wrong? Did you have a brother?” Olivia asked.


    Jack leaned back and supported himself with his hands.


    “Yeah, but he’s dead.”


    “What about the rest of your family?”


    Jack sneered. “They’re better off dead.


    “From now on, Zack and Alicia will be your family.”


    Olivia sighed and added, “My foster parents are both dead. I don’t even know who my actual parents


    are. I’m the same as you. We’re both without family.”


    Jack muttered, “Family…”


    “What’s wrong? I… Olivia started to gag.


    Jack looked at her worriedly as he handed her a bottle of water.


    “What will you be doing about the baby? Are you keeping it? We’ll be setting off tomorrow. We’re


    expected to arrive in the next city in three days. It’s about time to make a decision.”
