Five Years As An Amnesiac Bride Chapter 07

It was as if all the strength left Ethan’s body. He collapsed onto the floor.

I had not taken a plane, nor had I taken the train. Instead, just like the first time I came to this

city with Ethan, I took the ferry.

I was not from this city. Back then, I had only met Ethan because he was attending college in

my hometown.

Later, after Ethan graduated, I got together with him and followed him without hesitation to

this unfamiliar city.

Mrs. Carter had always looked out for me since I was little, and after I gave up college, she

felt even more guilty about it.

So on the day I left, Mrs. Carter woke up early to see me off.

The journal I wrote in was a gift from her.

Over the past five years, I had read her message more than once, and I had seen that card

more than once, too.

I just never imagined that one day, Ethan would truly betray what we had.

I also never imagined that one day, I would really end up fleeing like this.

The ferry set off. Sitting in my seat, I swayed from side to side with the movement of the

boat.

I closed my eyes and felt a little nauseous.

Suddenly, someone beside me tapped me lightly. I turned and saw a blister pack of

motion-sickness pills.

When I looked up, I met the worried eyes of a girl.

“You look a little sick. Take one.”

The scene felt so similar that I could not help thinking of Ethan.

The first time I took a ferry, I had no experience and became terribly seasick.

But I had not prepared anything, and I did not want Ethan to worry, so I forced myself to stay

quiet.

In the end, I felt so awful that my whole face scrunched up. Ethan noticed something was

wrong.

“Are you not feeling well? Do you feel like throwing up?”

I nodded, and Ethan pulled motion-sickness pills and motion-sickness patches out of his

backpack.

With a stern expression, he helped me take the medicine. “Why didn’t you tell me you

sick?”

I answered honestly, “I felt like saying it wouldn’t help, and I didn’t want you to worry.”

That only made Ethan angrier.

felt

“But Sylvia, I’m your boyfriend, not a stranger. You don’t have to be so careful around me.”

I nodded with a guilty look on my face.

After that, I spent a long time coaxing Ethan before he finally stopped being mad.

That memory had been so warm that I had written it in my journal.

I had read it before.

I never thought that today, there would be someone who reminded me of Ethan that much.

I accepted them and thanked her.

She also told me that if I still felt sick, getting some fresh air might help.

I nodded. When passengers were allowed onto the deck, I went up.

But every scene I had read in the journal seemed to have been branded into my mind.

When I saw the endless stretch of ocean, I thought of Ethan again.

That year, he had also taken me onto the deck.

I had been standing too close to the edge, and he carefully pulled me back.

Then he held me tightly in his arms.

“Do you know that when I came up here and saw you standing there, my heart almost

stopped?”

“If you fell in, where would I even find you?”

“Promise me you won’t put yourself in danger again. You know I can’t live without you.”

His promises still seemed to echo in my ears, but the person who had made them was no

longer the same.

I withdrew my gaze and refused to let myself think about Ethan again.

When I got off the ferry, I even tore out every page in my journal that had anything to do with

him.

After throwing them into the trash, I followed the crowd and left.

The wind lifted my hair, as if it were saying goodbye to the person I used to be.
