Olivia opened the door and saw Logan, who was smoking at a distance.She had never seen Logan smoke before.
But he was leaning on the railing and smoking at that very moment.
The lighting in the corridor was dim.She could barely make out his face.
His body was also shrouded in darkness.Only his fingers holding the lit cigarette were visible.
His demeanor was completely different from his usual self.
He was like the new moon shrouded in the dark, exuding a sense of mystery.
As soon as he saw Olivia, he flicked the cigarette into the ocean.

Olivia thought she was seeing things.
"Why aren't you back in your room?"
Olivia was shocked.
Why was he still out here at this hour? Had he been doing this all along? Guarding her silently without her knowing?
"Yeah.I was afraid something would happen.I don't need that much sleep.I couldn't sleep even if I went back to my

"Ms.Fordham, if you're afraid.I can stay with you in the room.You may feel more at ease if I'm with you.
"Okay."
Olivia agreed to his request and allowed him into her room.She lay on the bed while Logan sat on the floor.
He was in her line of sight, but he stayed 10 feet away.
It made her feel safe.
Unbeknownst to the two of them, the captain, whose cheeks were flushed from drinking, was carrying two children
in his arms as he staggered onboard.
"Poor kids.Why would there be parents so cruel as to abandon their children in such a deserted place? "Maurice, go

"Yes, captain."

"Oh god, my poor child.This is so sad.Where are your parents?"
Both of the children didn't speak.
They only shook their heads.
Tobias figured that they were just too young and couldn't talk yet.
The young girl's nose was red, and she looked very adorable.
"Okay, don't be afraid, kids.I'll go get you some food."
Tobias brought them some food.
The children were initially on guard, but they were too hungry.So, they started to eat.
The little boy was like a hungry wolf.
He kept his eyes on Tobias and kept the girl behind him.
Tobias marveled at the sight.
The boy already knew he should protect his sister at such a young age.He took out a first-aid kit and wiped the
boy's face with a warm towel.
"Does it hurt?"
