Chapter 809
Then, he took off the thin mask on his face.
An exquisite face with defined features appeared in the mirror.
Ethan's face looked paler because it hadn't been in the sun for months. His collar was slightly open and
he looked like a vampire straight out of the medieval ages—elegant and noble.
He walked into the steaming hot shower and stood under the water.
A black liquid flowed from his body as the water rained down on him.novelbin
When he came out of the shower, his commanding presence could no longer be concealed.
Ethan then put on his mask, donned his military uniform, and went to the command room.
Everyone cleared a path for him as he walked by. They also stood at attention and saluted him. "Sir."
Ethan walked into the command room with brisk steps.
Kelvin put on a serious expression and said, "Sir, the pirate ship has been sunk. Some of the pirates
are trying to get away on life rafts."
"Leave no survivors."
"Yes, sir."
"How's the cargo ship?"
"Brent boarded it with some men. Rest assured that he will guarantee everyone's safety."
Ethan was still thinking about the boy who was sitting beside the railing. He felt anxious and worried.
But back then, he didn't have any time to think about anything else. The only thing on his mind was to
guarantee Olivia's safety.
A sense of joy and anxiety bubbled within him when he thought about how both his children were still
alive.
He had tried to probe Olivia just now, but she didn't even want to mention his name.
It was a sign that she still hated him immensely. She would never let him close to the children.
After an intense battle, all of the pirates were either captured or shot and killed on the spot. None of
them got away.
Tobias thanked the stars for his luck. They would've been doomed otherwise.
Keeping the cargo safe wasn't even the most important thing. If the pirates boarded, most of the people
on board would be slaughtered.
In his earlier days, Tobias had encountered pirates a few times while working on a ship. He had seen
how cruel the pirates could be. He couldn't even bear to recall what they had done.
He was really lucky that the military naval ships were close by. Fortune really smiled on him.
Ethan boarded the cargo ship with some men.
He searched high and low, but there were no signs of the little boy.
"Where is he?" Brent asked while grabbing Tobias' collar.
"Who are you talking about?" Tobias wiped away his tears.
"A little boy around two years old."
"You mean Zack? I told him to stay in my room," Tobias replied.
But the room was completely empty. Zack was long gone.
Ethan suddenly remembered something and rushed to the storage room. The ropes he had tied Jack
with were severed.
He must have escaped with Zack when Ethan was trying to save Olivia and Alicia.
"Sir, a life raft is missing. Someone must have left during the chaos."
"Damn it. Go after them. They couldn't have gone far." Ethan had a stormy expression on his face.
They were finally reunited as a family. He would not allow Jack to get away with his son.
Olivia risked her life to return to Arlandia to look for her children. How would he be able to face her if
one of them was gone?
Everyone was busy that night. They were trying to clean up the mess made by the pirates. Ethan was
all over the place, too.
The sun hadn't even risen yet when Kelvin rushed to him and said, "Bad news. Mrs. Miller has a high
fever!"
"What?"
Ethan's expression turned grave. He knew Olivia's body was very weak. She had an extraordinarily low
count of white blood cells. A fever could be life-threatening.
