Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 239

Failing to stand stable, I staggered backward for a few steps and fell off the yacht at once.

My body fell speedily!

A second later, water splashed all around me!

I instantly panicked. And water seeped into my mouth all at once.

"I can't die here!"

Thinking of the child in my belly, I fluttered a few times, tried to calm myself down, and quickly held my breath to adjust the gravity of my body and make myself float up. Then I swam to the lifeboat on the side little by little.

The lifeboat was indeed as Roger had said.

It had been greatly deflated.

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

Staring at the yacht from this point of view, I found that at this time, it had been completely on fire.

But I didn't see Caroline at all!

"Caroline Archer!" I had a bad feeling in my heart.

Looking up at the yacht and seeing the fire

burning on the yacht non-stop, I couldn't see Caroline's figure at all.

I, who couldn't aboard the yacht either, seemed to realize what had happened.

For a moment, I felt quite painful, upset, and desperate!

Caroline didn't treat me well. She even tried to harm me many times. Even so, we were twins anyway.

Sometimes we shared the same feeling.

Taking the current situation as an example, all my feelings should be the miniature version of her feelings.

"What on earth happened on the yacht? She surely has been trapped in the cabin and can't come out."

Standing on the lifeboat, I looked up at the yacht which was being devoured by the fire little by little. In the end, the fire burned the rope with which the lifeboat was tied to the yacht.

The rope was burned off.

I could leave now.

But I, who was surrounded by the boundless sea, didn't know which direction I should go. If I went in the wrong direction, I probably would die as well.

"If so, I'd better stay not far from this yacht so that the ones in a passing ship probably will see me."

I rowed the lifeboat a little further away from the yacht.

I waited quietly there for someone to save me.

At this moment, I was even wondering whether Caroline would jump off the yacht above.

As time went by, I knew it was impossible.

It was unknown how long had passed. I could feel that the lifeboat where I stayed was sinking little by little and that it would be completely deflated soon.

However, apart from the seawater, there was nothing else around me.

Roger surely had long known that there would be a great fight between Caroline and me, who were trapped beasts on the yacht, and that neither of us would survive.

So he certainly didn't plan to find someone to save us sincerely.

In other words, he just said so to grant a glimmer of hope on us, who were originally in despair, and to make his performance more vivid.

As I lay there and looked up at the clouds floating in the sky...

"Dudu."

Sounds of a ship's alarm rang!

I sat up quickly and found that not far away, there was unexpectedly a yacht which was of the same model as that of a steam-assisted yacht!

A man stood on the deck. As soon as he saw me, he quickly ran in.

After a while, he came out again, stopped the yacht beside me, and put down a ladder. When I went up the yacht along the ladder, I took a look at the burning yacht.

The yacht had been sinking ever since just now. At this time, half of it had been sunken.

I thought that I would never see Caroline again.

I got on this yacht. As soon as I arrived at the deck, I saw Shelton sitting inside.

Seeing me, he was obviously stunned for a moment. Then he quickly stood up and looked at the gradually sinking yacht outside the window, asking, "Is this the yacht which you boarded?"
