I’ll protect you.” Alicia tugged on his sleeve worriedly.
”P-please don’t go.” “Silly child, I’m the captain.
I have to be there for my crew.
Don’t be afraid.
I promised I would bring you ashore.”
Tobias stood up and left.
He had no more time to explain the situation to the children.
Alicia looked at Zack worriedly.
However, Zack wasn’t looking at her.
Instead, his gaze was fixed on the chessboard, on Tobias’ last move.
He then moved the king forward even though it was a checkmate.
No matter what he did, the outcome was already decided.
“Zack …” Alicia called.
Zack had heard about pirates from Jack—they were a bunch of heartless monsters in human skin.
They used to rule the seas and would do anything to fill their own pockets.
Naturally, they had their eyes on this ship transporting raw mineral materials.
Zack knew that they were in big trouble.
He knew of the dangers but he didn’t have the capability to neutralize them.
All he could do was try to find Jack as soon as possible and have him bring them away before chaos ensued.
He was only three years old, but he already knew the meaning of life and death.
The two children didn’t know why they were trying so hard to live.
They were like mindless drones that could only push on even when life was hard.
They didn’t even have the chance to visit their mother’s grave.
“Let’s go.” Zack grabbed Alicia’s hand.
Before they left, he tooka tablecloth and put the unfinished cake and snacks in it.
Then, he tied it around his neck with two knots.
They were still young, but they knew exactly what to do when they needed to run away.
Alicia knew Zack very well and she immediately understood what he wanted to do.
“But, Mr.
Tobias …”” Alicia started.
Zack said calmly, “We have to find Dad.” Zack knew that Jack was the only person on the ship who could get them out of trouble.
They opened the door and saw the sailors gathering.
There was a huge ship in the distance.
Its lights pierced through the dark and its flags fluttered in the wind.
They didn’t have a telescope, and it was very dark out.
So they couldn’t see the symbols on the flags.
But the two of them didn’t care about that.
They just wanted to find Jack while no one was paying attention to them.
But before they could get anywhere, the pirates—being the despicable people they were—opened fire at the hull of the cargo ship without any warning.
A loud, deafening explosion could be heard.
Then, the ship began to shake and the children were thrown off balance.
They were at the edge of the ship, and they were very light.
Alicia was flung through the gaps of the railing.
” Alicia!” Zack reacted quickly and grabbed hold of her.
Alicia’s entire body was hanging in mid-air and the sea breeze was howling.
The ocean was like a gigantic monster with its mouth wide open, ready to devour its prey.
Alicia was scared to tears.
She had never been in such a scary situation before.
She grabbed the railing with one hand and her brother’s arm with the other.
But Zack was only a little over two years old.
How long could he hold on for? “Save my sister!” Zack cried for help, but no one heard him.
The ship was already thrown into chaos.
“Dad, where are you? I can’t hold on anymore,” Zack cried inwardly.
Zack was just a child.
He had already reached his limit.
He knew he would lose his sister forever if he let go.
Ever since he could remember, his dad had told him his sister was his only family.
He had to take good care of his sister.
Zack tried his best to pull Alicia up, but he wasn’t strong enough to do it.
He could only watch as Alicia’s hand started slipping away.
“Mom, if you’re watching over us, please help me save Alivia.
I’ve already lost you.
I can’t lose her, too.” Zack prayed.
He gritted his teeth and held on to Alicia tightly, his legs wrapped around the railing.
He was using every bit of strength he could muster to keep Alicia from falling.
Madison looked at her watch.
Logan would usually bring her some fruits at this hour.
Where was he? She could see raindrops falling on the window under the dim yellow lights.
It was raining.
Madison hated the rain.
As she lied in bed, she had no desire to sleep at all.
So she put on some headphones and tried to space out.
After a while, she abruptly opened her eyes when the ship started to violently tremble.
Something was wrong! Was it pirates? Madison quickly took off her headphones.
She started to hear the chaos happening outside.
Something was very wrong.
Madison was a cautious person.
Since she didn’t know what was going on, she didn’t dare to run around aimlessly.
So she stayed put and waited for Logan to come to her.
But Logan didn’t come rushing in like she thought he would.
Unable to suppress the anxiety anymore, Madison decided to get out of her room.
Her attention wasn’t drawn to the ship’s burning parts.
Instead, a child’s voice attracted her gaze.
“Help!” It was the voice of a very young child.
Where did he come from? Madison’s maternal instincts took over.
She didn’t care whose child it was, nor did she care if it was a trap.
She started to run toward the voice.
When she turned the corner, she saw a little boy holding onto a tiny hand.
Upon closer inspection, she saw a little girl dangling outside the railing.
Madison was horrified.
She started to run toward the children with reckless disregard for her own health.
At that moment, Zack had already exhausted all his strength, but he was still unable to pull Alicia to safety.
He could only watch with tears in his eyes as Alicia’s hand slowly slipped out of his grasp.
“Zack!” “N-no! w As Alicia was about to fall, ahand suddenly appeared and grabbed her, stopping her from falling into the ocean.
Zack was stunned as he looked at the woman in pajamas who had just appeared next to him.
Half her body was outside the railing.
She was very slender, especially the hand holding on to Alicia.
It was almost just skin and bones.
Madison sighed in relief.
She made it in time.
Alicia’s head was lowered as she swayed in the air like she was about to fall.
Tears were rolling down her face.
Madison comforted her softly, “Don’t be afraid.
