Logan had just gotten Olivia out of the water. He had a towel draped around him and hadn't even changed out of his wet clothes yet. However, Olivia was already asking about Alicia.
Her lips had turned blue from the cold and her face was very pale.
"Ms. Fordham. We've been saved. The little girl has been sent to one of the military ships. A doctor is performing some checks on her. You should get changed first, or you might catch a cold," Logan said.
"No. I want to see her." Olivia frantically got out of bed and ran out of the room barefooted.
The men she saw in the corridor were all wearing uniforms and armed.
Olivia immediately felt intimidated.
She finally realized that she wasn't on the cargo ship anymore. She was on a military naval ship.
Everyone's gaze fell on her when she stepped out of her room.
Olivia awkwardly froze in her tracks and didn't know what to do under all the pressure and anxiety she was feeling.
Although they simply looked at her without speaking up, she still felt uneasy.
Logan came out after Olivia and said, "Don't worry. I'll take you to her." He noticed that Olivia was frozen in place, so he tugged on her sleeve. "This way."
Olivia lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong. She suddenly noticed that Logan seemed to feel at home amongst the military personnel.
His back was straight, and his expression was calm. His strides were rhythmic and precise too.
He brought Olivia to another room without much trouble.
Meanwhile, Alicia was lying in bed, still unconscious.
Olivia realized her own body temperature was low. She didn't want Alicia to feel the chill.
"Ms. Fordham, I've performed a detailed check on her. She's fine, but both of you need to change into dry clothes immediately. Or else you might catch a cold.
"We don't have any children's clothes on the ship, so we can only wrap her in adult clothes. Please bear with it for the moment. We'll think of something else when we reach the shore," the doctor said.
Olivia nodded. "Thank you, doctor. I'll help her change."
"Okay." The doctor handed her some clean male clothes. "By the way, I've asked someone to prepare some warm milk for you, Ms. Fordham. Don't forget to drink it and warm yourself up."
"Understood," Olivia replied.
Suddenly, she abruptly looked at the doctor. "This is the first time we've met. How do you know my name?"
