Rayna immediately turned her head toward the tourist and questioned, “Did you perhaps mistake her for someone else?”

The tourist thought about it and answered confidently, “I’m sure I’m not mistaken! I boarded the ship with her at the same time. When I saw her sobbing, I took a couple more glances at her. She was petite but pretty. Just as we were about to step onto the ship, she suddenly left the way she came. When I heard someone scream, I turned around and saw her falling into the sea.”

Rayna felt as though her heart had been stabbed when she heard that.

Her body wobbled as she paled.

Curtis managed to catch her before she fell. Realizing her limbs had turned ice cold, he asked the person in charge to bring him a blanket. “No need to worry. I’ve asked for help.”

“It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault…” Her teeth were chattering as she spoke chokingly. “I-If I had been smarter and asked Wyatt about what happened, they wouldn’t have misunderstood each other.”

Upon receiving the blanket from the person in charge, Curtis wrapped her body with it.

Then, he let her lay against his chest as he comforted her gently, “This isn’t your fault, Rayna. Even if you had talked to Wyatt, the mastermind would’ve still devised a plan to mess with their relationship.”

Her shoulders moved as she sobbed quietly. “Why didn’t Jessie board the ship right away? Why did she jump into the ocean? She wouldn’t kill herself…”

While I don’t know what was going through Jessica’s mind, I know she won’t just commit suicide. Even if she had a realization while trying to escape, it’d be more likely for her to look for Wyatt at the hospital or go to a police station. As Curtis lamented, he surveyed his surrounding with his sharp eyes.

Aside from the ticket counter, there were barely any other surveillance cameras at the port. Usually, the employees there were the ones who kept their eyes on everything going on in the place.

There were very few people around early in the morning. So, no one knew the complete truth behind Jessica’s act of jumping into the sea.

“Listen to me, Rayna.” Curtis held Rayna’s cheeks and stared at her. “It’s possible she’s doing fine because the search and rescue team hasn’t found her body yet. However, it’ll take time for her to be located, whether dead or alive. And if she is alive, how do you expect to meet her if anything happens to you while you’re waiting?”

Rayna’s vision was blurred by her tears. However, her hope was reignited when she heard what he said. “Is she really going to be okay? I-I won’t cry, then.”

Upon wiping her tears away, she tried to lift her spirit. “I’ll wait for her here.”

“No, you’re too tired. You need rest.” Curtis could tell she was on the brink of a mental breakdown.
