I stumbled back and fell off the ship. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My body was falling fast! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A second later, water splashed around me! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was flustered in an instant. My mouth was full of water. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t die here! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This lifeboat really had very little gas, as Ward said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I managed to climb up and looked up at the yacht. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this point I saw that it was completely on fire. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
And I didn’t see Molly at all! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Molly!” I had a bad feeling. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I saw the fire burning and I couldn’t see Molly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t go up. I seemed to realize what happened. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I suddenly felt very painful, sad and desperate! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although Molly was not good to me and even hurt me many times, we were twins. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sometimes our feelings were interlinked. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
For example, now all my feelings should be a smaller version of her feelings. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What was going on up there? She must be stuck in the cabin. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The rope was burnt. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I could leave now. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I might as well row. Maybe a passing boat would see me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I rowed the lifeboat a little further. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I waited quietly for the rescue. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At the moment, I even thought Molly would jump off it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As time went by, I knew it was impossible. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After a long time, I felt my lifeboat sinking slowly. It would sink soon. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I had nothing but sea water around me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ward knew long ago that we would fight on the ship and that both of us would probably die. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
So he certainly didn’t let anyone save us. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He just wanted to give me a little hope and make us more energetic. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As I lay there and watched the clouds floating in the sky, I heard the alarm of a ship. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I quickly sat up and saw a yacht of the same model as the burning yacht not far away! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There was a man on the deck. He ran in quickly when he saw me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
By this time it had sunk more than half. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t think I would see Molly again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I got on this yacht. As soon as I got to the cabin, I saw Ming sitting in it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes.” I looked at him and was confused. I asked him, “Why are you here?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Did Ward inform him? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Was he related to Ward? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In fact, before Molly said that the other kidnapper was Cindy, I guess it was Ming. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Now he appeared. It was so strange. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He suddenly took me into his arms and murmured, “fortunately, I’m here. I didn’t expect that this is your ship.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming hugged me tightly. My arms even hurt a little. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought I misunderstood him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He would not do such a thing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I was set up.” I looked at Ming and thought for a while. I decided to tell him what happened on the ship. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming was silent for a while after listening. He asked me, “what’s your plan about Sean?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t understand why he suddenly mentioned Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at Ming and felt confused. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I seemed to understand what he was going to say. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Do you want to get rid of Sean and live a whole new life?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming asked me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was stunned. I looked at him and didn’t know how to answer, but I agreed with him in my heart. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I could make Sean think I was dead. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
That was good. In this case, he would remember me all his life. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’ll think about what you said.” I looked at Ming, “I want to be better myself.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought of my childhood dreams. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But what had I done in these years? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t seem to have made any progress. I was even stepping back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Not to mention being as good as Sean, I seemed to have been living under his protection. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hated myself like this. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After that, Ming didn’t take me back to York directly to give me enough time to think. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He took me to the Carson City. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I stayed there for three days. I had nightmares over and over again in these three days. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I closed my eyes at night, I would see that I was in the sea of fire. Fear and despair filled my heart. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I guessed that was what Molly saw before she died. I dreamed about it because we were twins. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
On the third day, I was in a better mood. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming went back to York to do something. I checked the temple around the Carson City and took a taxi there. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We were sisters. Now that she was dead, I wouldn’t pursue the past. I hoped she would be happy in the next life. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I came out, the door was very noisy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You have arms and legs. Why do you beg? You have deceived these kind people!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I heard a man swearing there. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was a little familiar. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
