Hey everyone! I was looking through 'Paradise on Earth, JJ Maybank x-reader' and realized that the death of Y/N's mother might be slightly confusing. I sincerely apologize for that. I hope I didn't cause any confusion. Below I have summed up the timeline in regards to the disappearance of John B's father and death of Y/N's mother; this all happens before the first chapter (or if you want to be specific, the pilot episode).

1. Ward Cameron, John Routledge, April McAlister and Ryan McAlister all go and search for the Gold. Mrs. McAlister believes that Ward went against John.

As a cause of this, John's head hits the side of the boat. April rushes to his aid but is yanked by Ward. The two are thrown overside the boat.
