“She has a fever and took some medicine. That’s why she is so sound asleep,” answered Olivia.
She held Ellie tightly. Unfortunately, her arms were sore, so she was trembling a little and her clothes were wet with
sweat.
“Who are you to the kid?” asked the custom officer.
“I’m her aunt.”
As Olivia spoke, a traveler with a piece of luggage walked past them. He almost hit Ellie, but Olivia shielded Ellie’s
head. The luggage hurt Olivia’s hand instead.
The officer saw how Olivia was caring so deeply for the kid, so he stopped asking questions. He let them pass and
even reminded her that she could loan a stroller from the airport.
Olivia thanked the officer, but she didn’t dare to use the stroller. She was worried that Sharon would hurt Ellie, so
she kept hugging the child and refused to let go.
The group entered the business class lounge soon after. Olivia was slightly relieved because she could finally sit with

Ellie in her arms.
Sharon spoke to her subordinates and had two of them stand guard outside the lounge. The other two stayed and
stood behind her.
Sharon relaxed on the sofa and glared evilly at Olivia before warning, “Quit fidgeting. Everyone is staring at us, and
I will kill you if you got the police to come checking up on us.”
“When are you going to let Peter go?” asked Olivia while frowning, “I’ve already done as you asked and took Ellie
over.”
“I will have my men let him go once I reach T Nation,” answered Sharon cruelly, “Both you and Peter will be fine so
long as I reach T Nation in one piece. If any unforeseeable issue arises, he will be the first one to die, and you will
be following along soon.”
“What is that supposed to mean? What unforeseeable issue are you talking about?” blurted Olivia.
“You are such an idiot. Do you think that Zachary Nacht and Charlotte Lindberg are stupid?” growled Sharon while
keeping her voices down, “They are already searching for me, and things will be bad if they find me here.”
“But I’ve already done everything you asked,” said Olivia nervously, “Let Peter go now. He’s injured, and you’ve had

him locked up for a month. If things keep going like this, he will die.”
“Why are you so worried? I’ll let him go once I reach T Nation,” replied Sharon before she shrugged nonchalantly.
“Let him go now or I will shout for help,” threatened Olivia, who had been forced to a corner.
“You…” growled Sharon as she shot a look at the officers patrolling right outside.
Olivia pointed out, “The kid and I are with you now, and we are the best hostage there is. Peter is no longer of any
use to you, so why are you still holding him? I will do whatever you ask so long as you let him go.”
“What if you play some trick on me?”
Sharon was extremely cautious because too much had happened. She had endured a lot of pain, and she was lucky
to have someone helping her out. That person was the only reason she even had a shot at escaping, and she knew
that was her last chance at survival.
I will truly be in hot waters if anything were to happen.
“You overestimated me,” replied Olivia before she grinned bitterly and pointed out, “I am just an ordinary person,

so what trick could I pull? Besides, I’m with Ellie. How will I escape with her?”
“You’re right about that.”
Sharon thought that made sense because she had always seen Olivia as the helpless maggot following Charlotte
around. Olivia doesn’t have any actual skills or power, so there is no way she can escape. Besides, I have Ellie with
me. No one will risk anything.
Thinking about that got Sharon to make a call and have the men let Peter go.
“Let me talk to him. I want to make sure that he is safe,” requested Olivia eagerly as she inched forward.
“You are so annoying,” complained Sharon before she handed the phone over and demanded, “Sit further away
from me. You’re sweating all over, and you stink!”
Olivia carried Ellie to the side before she spoke into the phone. “Hello? Peter?”
“Olivia,” replied Peter in a weak voice, “I-Ignore me. Just k-keep yourself safe.”
“I am so sorry, Peter. This is all my fault. You wouldn’t have been captured if it weren’t for me,” said Olivia who
couldn’t help tearing up after she heard Peter’s voice.
