Chapter 786 It’s Me, Abigail
Half a month later, they arrived in Perou, a small country where public order was chaotic. Abigail acquired a mobile phone on the first night.
She returned to the ship and couldn't wait to call Josh.
After several attempts, Josh finally answered. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Who is it?" He sounded a bit angry, obviously not happy to be woken up from sleep.
"It's me, Abigail." Abigail's voice was low, with a hint of coldness.
"Abigail?" Josh almost immediately woke up, and after a moment of confusion, he asked in a trembling voice, "Do you not have a fixed number? Where are you now? Can you come back?"
"I want to come back, but I don't have any identification. Come to Ansela to pick me up and find a way to get me some identification. Bring some money with you. I really need it." Abigail instructed him.
"When will you arrive in Ansela?" Josh immediately asked.
Abigail looked at the captain. "When will we arrive in Ansela?"
"About half a month. It's quite far." The captain replied.
Hearing this, Josh comforted Abigail, softly saying, "It's okay. I'll go over them first and negotiate with them. Are you sure you can come back?"
"If you're worried, come pick me up. It will shorten the journey." Abigail said, then walked over to the captain and asked for directions.
"Okay." Josh's eyes welled up with tears.
"Josh, I'm hanging up now. This phone doesn't have much credit left, so I can only talk to you for a while—" Before she could finish her sentence, the call was cut off due to lack of credit.
International calls are expensive!
Having spent half a month with them, the captain had gotten to know Abigail a bit. When Abigail mentioned money, he couldn't help but ask, "Is this money our share?"
"Yes, of course. You just have to set sail to Ansela. I have plenty of money," Abigail replied.
Upon hearing this, the captain burst into laughter. "Money makes everything easier. We can go anywhere and stay up all night for you!"
Abigail smiled but didn't respond.
Perhaps because she was about to see her family soon, Abigail found each day particularly difficult to bear, and she became more silent.
On the eighth day, Abigail saw a cruise ship.
The captain took out his binoculars, took a look, and then handed them to Abigail.
Abigail looked through the binoculars and saw a very familiar figure standing at the bow of the ship, her eyes moistening.
"Recognize anyone?" Martin asked Abigail.
"Yes. It's Josh!" Abigail's voice couldn't hide her excitement.
Having been away for nearly a year, with two close calls in between, she was finally going back home.
As the cruise ship and their ship slowly approached each other, a gangway was extended from the cruise ship to their deck.
As soon as Josh came down, he rushed to Abigail and hugged her tightly. "How long has it been since you last called? Mom and Dad have been sick so many times."
Abigail's voice was filled with guilt. "I'm sorry. I couldn't contact you."
Josh pushed her away and looked at her. "You've lost weight, and you also look different."
The intensity between her eyebrows is a bit heavy, probably caused by multiple near-death experiences.
"I will take you home right away," Josh said, pulling her to leave.
"Wait, what about the money?" Abigail asked directly.
Josh helplessly tapped her forehead and shouted to the people on the cruise ship, "Bring the money over."
Then, he looked at Abigail again. "Changed into foreign currency. Is it okay?"
"Yes." Abigail nodded.
A bag of money was brought down.
Abigail retrieved two stacks of money and placed them in her bag, handing the rest to the captain. "I apologize for our desperate actions earlier, but we had no choice but to rob you. This money is to compensate you. I wish you all a smooth and joyful life."
The people on the ship were astonished as they looked at the bag of money. Upon hearing Abigail's words, they waved their hands in gratitude, "Thank you for robbing us. Otherwise, we wouldn't have
earned so much money!"
Abigail chuckled.
After informing Josh about Martin and Andrew, Josh kindly called for assistance to carry Andrew onto the cruise ship.
As they bid farewell to the ship, Abigail returned to the cruise ship, removed an AK, pistol, and a few grenades from her bag, dropped a dagger, and then settled comfortably on the soft couch.
Josh gazed at these items, his eyes welling up. "What kind of suffering have you endured in the past six months?"
"It's all in the past," Abigail replied.
The darkest moment had passed.
But she still couldn't forget the first person she had ended with her own hands.
After the fear subsided, she felt a shift in her state of mind.
She no longer felt like herself, realizing that the person she used to be was gone.
Josh took her hand. "Let's go home. Our parents are waiting for you."
Abigail nodded, and after a moment of silence, she softly inquired about Sean, "So, how is he?"
"You've ended things with him. Why do you ask?" Josh avoided her gaze.
He had heard that Sean was now with another girl.
This girl was quite ordinary, but with Sean's support, she had severed ties with her neglectful parents and was now living with her grandparents. She was ambitious and kind-hearted.
They had a passionate romance, but it had abruptly transitioned into a more subdued relationship.
"Just curious. Go ahead," Abigail said playfully.
