Chapter 131
The winds were strong. Connor was snuggled up in Olivia’s arms as the snow swirled around them.
Olivia pointed at a spot in the ocean and said, “My baby disappeared in this part of the ocean. He wasn’t as lucky as you. He stopped breathing as soon as he was taken out of my body. He never had the chance to look at the sun.
“Little one, do you think he feels lonely at the bottom of the ocean? Why don’t you go and keep him company? The water might be a bit chilly. You might feel uncomfortable for a bit, but it’ll all be over soon…
“And finally, you’ll completely disappear from this world. That would scar him for life. You’re his favorite son. That would surely break his heart, right?”

She held Connor’s hand as they slowly walked to the edge of the ship. “Connor look! It also snowed heavily like this last year. Son, you must be lonely in the ocean. Don’t worry, I’ve brought a friend for you.”
The bottomless ocean was like a monster with its mouth wide open. It roared loudly like it wanted to devour everything. Smiling gently at Connor, Olivia said, “I’m so sorry, darling. I won’t be able to repay you for your sacrifice.”
Mina got the cake and turned around, only to see that Connor was gone. She was used to him going off on his own since he learned to walk. But he could never get too far with his tiny limbs.
She held the cake in her hand as she went to look for him. She called out, “Master Connor, where are you hiding?”
But once she got a good look at the empty corridor, fear crept into her heart.
It only took her a short while to get the cake. How could a baby that just learned to walk disappear from the long corridor? She looked at the railing. Connor shouldn’t have been able to fall over it.
But she panicked and couldn’t think straight. Dropping the cake, she ran toward the bow of the ship.
When she found Ethan, she told him, “Mr. Miller, Master Connor has gone missing!”
Marina gave her a slap before saying, “All I asked you to do was put him to bed. How could you lose him like that? You’re dead if something happens to my baby!”
Ethan glared at her, then turned to look at Brent. “Go check the security cameras. Find him.”
Mina was scared out of her wits. “Master Conner disappeared in the tit tookto get him some cake. Would he have fallen into the ocean?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“That’s impossible. He’s too big to squeeze under the railing and too short to climb over it. Unless someone threw him over.” Ethan quickly refuted her theory.
Someone?
Who would dare to harm his child on this ship? Unless…
Olivia’s face flashed in Ethan’s mind.
It couldn’t be. She loved Connor so much. She wouldn’t hurt him.
Ethan disappeared from the deck.
Everyone else was panicking. The ship was so big and the child so small. If he really fell off the ship, he wouldn’t even be able to call for help.
On the other hand, Ethan was running straight to the top floor. The tragedy with Olivia’s baby happened there. Did she really bring Connor up there?
Ethan ran with all his strength, but the snow was falling heavily, obstructing
