President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 239

I stumbled back and fell off the ship.

My body was falling fast!

A second later, water splashed around me!

I was flustered in an instant. My mouth was full of water.

I couldn’t die here!

Thinking of the baby in my stomach, I tried to calm down and hold my breath quickly. I adjusted my gravity and floated myself. I swam slowly to the lifeboat.

This lifeboat really had very little gas, as Ward said.

I managed to climb up and looked up at the yacht.

At this point I saw that it was completely on fire.

And I didn’t see Molly at all!

“Molly!” I had a bad feeling.

I saw the fire burning and I couldn’t see Molly.

I couldn’t go up. I seemed to realize what happened.

I suddenly felt very painful, sad and desperate!

Although Molly was not good to me and even hurt me many times, we were twins.

Sometimes our feelings were interlinked.

For example, now all my feelings should be a smaller version of her feelings.

What was going on up there? She must be stuck in the cabin.

I stood on the lifeboat and looked up to see the yacht engulfed by the fire. The fire finally reached the point where the lifeboat was tethered.

The rope was burnt.

I could leave now.

But I didn’t know where to go. I was surrounded by an endless sea. If I went in the wrong direction, I would die as well.

I might as well row. Maybe a passing boat would see me.

I rowed the lifeboat a little further.

I waited quietly for the rescue.

At the moment, I even thought Molly would jump off it.

As time went by, I knew it was impossible.

After a long time, I felt my lifeboat sinking slowly. It would sink soon.

But I had nothing but sea water around me.

Ward knew long ago that we would fight on the ship and that both of us would probably die.

So he certainly didn’t let anyone save us.

He just wanted to give me a little hope and make us more energetic.

As I lay there and watched the clouds floating in the sky, I heard the alarm of a ship.

I quickly sat up and saw a yacht of the same model as the burning yacht not far away!

There was a man on the deck. He ran in quickly when he saw me.

Soon he came out again. He parked the yacht next to me and lowered the stairs. As I climbed up the stairs, I took a look at the burning yacht.

By this time it had sunk more than half.

I didn’t think I would see Molly again.

I got on this yacht. As soon as I got to the cabin, I saw Ming sitting in it.

He was obviously shocked when he saw me. Then he quickly stood up and looked out the window at the sinking yacht and asked, “is this your ship?”

“Yes.” I looked at him and was confused. I asked him, “Why are you here?”

Did Ward inform him?

Was he related to Ward?

In fact, before Molly said that the other kidnapper was Cindy, I guess it was Ming.

Now he appeared. It was so strange.

Ming frowned. “I told Simon I was worried about you after you left. I left the island on this yacht. At that time, the sailor said that a ship was on fire. I was worried about you and wanted to call the police and leave.”

He suddenly took me into his arms and murmured, “fortunately, I’m here. I didn’t expect that this is your ship.”

Ming hugged me tightly. My arms even hurt a little.

I thought I misunderstood him.

He would not do such a thing.

Ming asked me to sit on the sofa. He gave me a cut coconut with a straw in it. He said worriedly, “what happened? Why did it suddenly catch fire?”

“I was set up.” I looked at Ming and thought for a while. I decided to tell him what happened on the ship.

Ming was silent for a while after listening. He asked me, “what’s your plan about Sean?”

“What?”

I didn’t understand why he suddenly mentioned Sean.

He looked at me and said seriously, “no one knows Molly is on that ship. If someone finds her, he will think it’s you who died...”

“You...”

I looked at Ming and felt confused.

But I seemed to understand what he was going to say.

“Do you want to get rid of Sean and live a whole new life?”

Ming asked me.

I was stunned. I looked at him and didn’t know how to answer, but I agreed with him in my heart.

I could make Sean think I was dead.

That was good. In this case, he would remember me all his life.

Seeing that I didn’t speak, Ming felt that he was wrong and said, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that. I just think you should live a better life and be better yourself. You shouldn’t be under Sean’s control all the time.”

“I’ll think about what you said.” I looked at Ming, “I want to be better myself.”

I thought of my childhood dreams.

At that time I thought Sean was perfect. My biggest dream was to become an excellent person. Even if I couldn’t be as good as Sean, I could be closer to him.

But what had I done in these years?

I didn’t seem to have made any progress. I was even stepping back.

Not to mention being as good as Sean, I seemed to have been living under his protection.

I hated myself like this.

When Ming and I got off the ship, Ming gave the crew a lot of money and told them not to tell anyone they had seen me. They could say they called the police when they passed and they saw nothing.

After that, Ming didn’t take me back to York directly to give me enough time to think.

He took me to the Carson City.

I stayed there for three days. I had nightmares over and over again in these three days.

When I closed my eyes at night, I would see that I was in the sea of fire. Fear and despair filled my heart.

I guessed that was what Molly saw before she died. I dreamed about it because we were twins.

On the third day, I was in a better mood.

Ming went back to York to do something. I checked the temple around the Carson City and took a taxi there.

We were sisters. Now that she was dead, I wouldn’t pursue the past. I hoped she would be happy in the next life.

When I came out, the door was very noisy.

“You have arms and legs. Why do you beg? You have deceived these kind people!”

I heard a man swearing there.

It was a little familiar.
