But this situation couldn't go on forever. In the meantime, Jake had explored almost the entire island.
Jake described it as a natural prison. The island wasn't surrounded by Ernesto's and Griffin's men, but it was located far out in the ocean. Every ship that passed by belonged to the Perry family. Ernesto had even purchased a large area of the surrounding ocean.

"Are you absolutely certain about the test results?" It was Griffin's voice.
"There's no doubt about it. I confirmed it myself, she's carrying a boy and a girl. Mr. Perry, why not keep both children? However, twin pregnancies cwith their own set of challenges. One fetus can sometimes take nutrients from the other. In this case, I believe the girl will likely develop better, while the boy might be a bit weaker."
