Olivia shook her head.

"We should keep things simple and just stay on the ship."

Logan hesitated before saying, "Ms.Fordham, may I ask why you're taking such a risk just to get back to Arlandia? "You aren't exactly in the best of health, and I heard you don't have any relatives there.Why would you want to go back?"

"Yeah.I have sthings I need to do."

Olivia was tight-lipped.She didn't reveal anything to him.

Logan respected that and didn't ask any more questions.

"You should get srest, then."

It would take around half a day for the ship to dock, resupply, and get maintenance work done.

Olivia didn't even get off the ship.She didn't even leave her room.She marked her calendar with a red pen.She was getting closer to Aldenvine.She would be able to see her children after smore time.

After a while, a sailor cto update her about the situation.

"Ms.Fordham, I'm sorry.There's sproblem with the ship.Technicians are looking into it, but we won't be able to set sail today."

"How long would repairs be?"

"If everything goes well, we can finish in a day.If not, it might take two to three days.

"Everyone is working overtto get the ship running.The captain instructedto update you about this.

"If you're bored, you can take a look around the island."

"Okay.Thanks for lettingknow."

Olivia wasn't really interested in going on the island.She replied, "Thanks for the invitation, but I don't feel like going to the island."

"Alright.The captain and sof the other men will be going to the tavern for sdrinks.You can call us if you need anything."

"Will do."

The night seemed more peaceful at the dock.

There weren't any roaring waves.

Olivia was sitting on the deck.

Stargazing had becone of her habits on the ship.

Suddenly, someone draped a cloak on her.

Logan went to sit beside her, and for the first time, he had a beer in his hand.

"Why didn't you go to the tavern for a drink? Surely, spending sO many days out at sea has been unbearable for you."

Logan opened the beer and took two swigs.

Then, he slowly replied, "My duty is to keep you safe.I can't just take the money and do nothing.Besides, I don't think it's that unbearable."

Olivia propped her head up with her hands and gazed at the twinkling stars.

"What do you plan to do after you've escortedto Aldenvine?"

Logan laid down on the deck and said, "I've been a wanderer all my life.I'll go where life takes me.I live until fate decides to end me."

He raised his beer in the air and continued, "Here's a toast to tomorrow and to the future.May we enjoy life whenever we can, for life is short."

Olvia looked at his carefree demeanor and felt a little envious.She wanted to be free, too.

Suddenly, gunshots sounded at the docks.

A silhouette dashed to the side of a cliff and hid the two children he was holding under a rock.He told them, "Be good and stay here quietly.I'll be back soon."

The children nodded at him and said, "Daddy, be careful ..."

They were used to life on the run.

They were still so young, but they were already well aware of what dangers there were out there.

The man quickly leaped away and started running.

Countless gunshots were fired behind him.

There were gunshots and footsteps.

The little girl was so scared that she was trembling all over.She had just seen a cat shot by a gun recently.

The cat lay in its own blood and never opened its eyes again.
