Nicole's eyes narrowed in suspicion. But before she could react, she felt a sudden, strong tug on her arm.

Jamie's grip on Nicole's hand tightened. In a shocking turn, Jamie leaned back, lost her balance, and tumbled over the railing!

As Jamie fell, she cried out, "Jarrod, help! Nicole is..."

Splash! Huge ripples spread across the river's surface. Jamie had fallen into the water!

Everything happened in an instant. Nicole managed to cling to the railing, saving herself from being dragged into the river.

"Jamie!" Jarrod hurried to the scene. He pushed Nicole away and shot her a piercing look. Without another word, he dove into the water for Jamie.

Shortly after, he emerged from the river, cradling Jamie in his arms.

Crew members from the cruise quickly lowered a rope ladder and helped them back onto the deck.

The chilling river water had taken its toll on Jamie more than on Jarrod. She trembled violently. Her lips turned a shade of purple, and her face was pale and shaken.

Thankfully, Jamie was rescued in time and did not swallow any water.

She clung to Jarrod, her face stained with tears. Her distressed state evoked pity from onlookers.

A bystander hurried over with a quilt and wrapped it around Jamie's shivering form.

"Take her inside to rest," Jarrod ordered.

Jamie held onto Jarrod's arm and looked up at him with tearful eyes.

"Jarrod..."

Jarrod gently held her hand and comforted her, “It's alright. I won't let anyone harm you."

Upon hearing this, Jamie lowered her head, and a malicious smile played in her lips.

She mused that this was enough to send Nicole to the depths of hell.

Jarrod then turned around, his gaze icy and his expression stern. His polished leather shoes glistened with each step, a symbol of the looming threat he posed, striking fear into Nicole's heart.

He stopped a few steps from Nicole, and his eyes narrowed with a dangerous glint.
