The kitchen was on a different floor. The ship didn't carry any livestock onboard. There shouldn't be blood for no
reason.
Since shots were fired last night, Logan was extra cautious. He wouldn't allow anyone the chance to harm Olivia. He
went to the monitoring room after he made breakfast for Olivia. He would get his answers there.
Ruben, who was supposed to be watching the screens, dozed off.
Logan operated the device with ease to check the feed from
30 minutes ago.
He typed on the keyboard quickly but noticed that something was wrong with the surveillance system.
He couldn't find the footage he was looking for. Someone had tampered with the system.
Seems like someone had snuck onboard.
Tobias sent people to look for the children's parents for an entire day. None of the families on the island were
missing two children.

No matter how much he asked, the children didn't speak up about their parents. Tobias speculated that the children
were deliberately abandoned.
"We're leaving today. Do you want to come with us?" Tobias crouched before them and asked patiently.
The children nodded obediently. The boy knew his dad was on the ship. They needed to hide on the ship to evade
detection, so they didn't mind staying.
The girl grabbed the boy's sleeve timidly and called out, "I'm scared.”
"So you two can speak? What are your names?
The boy spoke up, “Zack.”
“Alicia.”
Tobias’ eyes lit up. "What beautiful names? Where are your parents?"
“They're dead," Zack said calmly.
Tobias sighed. He didn't know what kind of environment these two children had to grow up in to be so calm.
"Do you have any other relatives?"
"No."
The children were still young. He couldn't get any more helpful information, but they had agreed to go with him.
“Alright, let's head back to the ship.”
The island wasn't affiliated with any countries. Maybe escaped convicts and other dangerous criminals called it
home.
These two children were so good-looking. Maybe some human trafficker brought them here, and they escaped.
If they really didn't have family, Tobias would bring them to Aldenvine.
They were easy on the eyes, so they would have no trouble getting adopted.
The sun was setting. The resupply was complete, so the ship set sail.
The children were very well-behaved. They didn't run around.
Instead, they stayed in Tobias' room the whole time.
They weren't picky eaters either. They ate everything that was brought to them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTobias wondered what kind of life they had before this.
They reminded him of his one-month-old grandson. So, he treated them lovingly.
There weren't any kids’ clothes on the ship. Tobias tore his clean clothes apart and altered them into two sets of
smaller clothes.
He picked up sewing from his years at sea.
"Wear this for now. I'll buy some new clothes for you at our next stop.”
“Thanks, Mr. Tobias.”
The children were very well-behaved. Tobias couldn't help but grow fond of them.
He had planned to send them to an orphanage initially. But as he spent more time with them, he felt like he didn't
want to leave them.
The injuries on the children healed quickly under his care.
"Kids, we're heading into dangerous waters. The ship might get a little rocky. Stay here and don't run around,
okay?"
"Okay, Mr. Tobias.”
After two days of searching, Logan was able to eliminate all the rooms. At last, his sights were set on the storage
room. He stood at the door.
