The Past We Left Behind - Chapter 13
On the tiny yacht, Captain Williams and his team of men were in the cabin steering the ship, monitoring Adam's cell phone signal and the yacht's signal with their devices. During this time, Ethan and Rebecca stood side by side on the deck, their eyes fixed on the vast expanse of calm, dark sea. Rebecca turned her gaze to Ethan, determined to ask him something that had been on her mind the whole time, "Why didn't you tell the police that I was also involved in Adam's plan?"
Ethan turned to her with a serious expression on his face. "Because even though what you did was horrible, you still agreed to help save Abigail in the end. I appreciate that, even though I know it was only to save yourself."
He snorted ironically, then looked back at the waves. Rebecca's heart sank at his words. Deep down, she was hoping for a different answer. She hoped that maybe Ethan still had some feelings for her after all, but considering everything she had done, she could understand him. With a deep sigh, she lowered her head and quietly admitted, "It was all nonsense. I should never have agreed to such a thing. I'm sorry."
Ethan turned to her again, his gaze softening a little when he saw the remorse in her eyes. For the first time in a long time, he could see sincerity in them. He took a deep breath, his anger replaced by a mix of emotions that were hard to disentangle.
"I'm going to see if we're close yet." He said, then turned and stepped towards the cabin. As he got closer to the door, he saw it open and Captain Williams came out with his ever-serious face.
"Is there any news?" Ethan asked him in a worried tone. The captain's gaze met Ethan's briefly, then he directed it into the distance behind Ethan, as well as his finger.
"Look behind." He said in a serious voice and jerked his head forward. When Ethan turned to follow the captain's gaze, he saw a faint glow on the horizon. As they approached, the glow gradually grew brighter and clearer, and soon one could clearly see what it was. Adam's yacht, 'The Serenity'.
