Time ticked by.
It had been three days, but Logan wasn't back yet, let alone the child.
Olivia's patience was running thin.She stopped Joshua again.
"How is Logan? It's been days.Has he not shown improvement yet?"
"Don't worry, Miss.He's feeling a lot better now.He's just worried that he might spread his illness to you."
She wasn't certain that Logan was avoiding her on purpose or if it was really due to serious illness.
After all, he had treated her well all this while.
She thought that she would be able to have peace of mind after paying him a visit.
Olivia inquired, "I'd like to see him.Where is he?"
"It's fine.Logan doesn't want you to be there."
"I'll drop by for a moment.I'll leave after making sure of his condition.Where is his room?"
Joshua showed hesitance.
"I..."
"If you don't want to tell me, don't think of stepping out of this door today."
He scratched the back of his head.

"I just want to see him.How am I making things difficult for you?"
"Fine, I'll inform Logan about it."
Only then did she give in.
"I'll be waiting for your good news."
Joshua ran back to Ethan, who had yet to recover.
His fever had subsided, but he needed some time to fully recover due to his bad health.
Other than being sick, the other reason he didn't return to Olivia was because he couldn't face her.
Knowing that she was going to visit him, he decorated his room.
When Joshua came to send dinner, Olivia entrusted the child to him.
He told her Ethan's room number, and she headed there.
It was her first time going outside after boarding the ship.
The cold sea breeze caressed her face as she strolled along the long corridor.
The wild waves pounded against the ship, shaking it.While Olivia was looking for the right room, there stood a
woman in red nearby.
The latter was pinching a cigarette.
Her back was resting against the guardrail, and one of her legs was extended.
The low-cut dress revealed the rose tattoo on her collarbone.
Olivia said softly, "Make way, please."
The woman raised her head to size Olivia up.
Olivia was wearing a mask that covered her whole face.
The woman withdrew her leg, and Olivia shifted her gaze.
Olivia felt that the woman's gaze was still on her although she had walked to the end of the corridor.
She wondered if it was simply her delusion.
When she finally arrived at the room, she keyed in the password given by Joshua.
The door clicked and opened.
The lights weren't turned on, so she could only make out the room's structure based on the dim light cascading
through the window.
There lay a person on the big bed.
Olivia intended to turn the lights on, but she didn't want to disturb the other party.
Hence, she walked over gingerly.
"Logan?" she asked.

She heaved a sigh of relief at the familiar voice.
"Can I turn the lights on?"
"Sure."
She turned on the light at the headboard upon receiving permission.
Ethan was resting against the headboard, and he didn't seem better than before despite having rested for days.
She never expected the drug to be this strong.
"How are you feeling?"
"Don't worry, Miss. I feel much better already."
Noticing the awkwardness on her face, he took the initiative to break the silence.
"Sorry, I wasn't in the right mind that night."
"It's fine."
She took a deep breath.
"Aside from checking in on you, there's another reason why I'm here."
"I'm all ears."
"There's a week left before we arrive in Aldenvine.I'd like to know your plans."
Ethan was aware of that.
"My plans aren't important.Yours matters more.What's your plan, Miss?"
