Chapter 203

Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins rushed into the hospital, their hearts heavy with dread.

The moment Mrs. Jenkins saw Jamie lying pale and unconscious in the hospital bed, her composure crumbled. She collapsed to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. “My poor daughter! Why did this happen to you? My baby, who’s suffered so much already. I should never have let you return to Craggaville. Look at the pain it’s caused you!”

Mr. Jenkins quickly knelt to help her up, his tone firm but comforting. “Wife, you must stay strong. Our daughter needs us. If you fall apart now, how can we fight for her? Jamie was wronged, and we’ll make sure justice is served!”

Hearing his words, Mrs. Jenkins quieted her sobs, though her eyes burned with fierce determination. She declared with certainty, “My daughter didn’t fall into the sea. She was pushed!”

Outside the ward, several members of the Jenkins family waited alongside Tessa, who had been the one to find Jamie.

Tessa had gone looking for Jamie and Norah, knowing Jamie had been following Norah. She hadn’t seen either of them in some time and grew anxious. What she eventually stumbled upon was horrifying: Jamie, thrashing in the sea, exhausted and moments from drowning. Tessa acted swiftly, pulling Jamie from the water and performing CPR until Jamie coughed up seawater and regained a faint pulse.
