Panic erupted on the deck. Guests scrambled to throw life preservers into the churning water, but the fierce waves swept the rings away before they could reach the drowning girl.

Her struggles grew weaker, and she began to sink faster.

Most of the people on deck were the girl's female companions, lacking the physical strength to risk a rescue.

The men still in the cabin were either tipsy or terrified of the rough seas. For a frantic moment, no one dared to jump in.

In the midst of the crisis, Jillian Jarrett sprinted to the edge of the deck and dove into the ocean without a second of hesitation.

"Jillian!" Daniel Langley shouted, but it was too late to stop her.

Jillian moved with effortless grace, slicing through the water like a fish. She swam to a floating life preserver, grabbed it, and quickly closed the distance to the drowning girl, slipping the ring securely over her.

Panic-stricken, the girl instinctively tried to cling to Jillian in a death grip. Jillian calmly evaded the desperate grasp, grabbed the girl's collar from behind to keep her head above water, and anchored herself firmly against the life preserver.

"Hold on, stop thrashing!" Jillian commanded in a steady, authoritative tone.

Once she stabilized them both, she used the buoyancy of the ring and fought against the current, slowly dragging the girl back toward the yacht.

By then, the crowd from the cabin had rushed out, and several pairs of hands hauled the gasping girl onto the deck.

Jillian followed right behind. She hoisted herself over the railing and sat on the edge of the deck, panting heavily.

She was completely drenched, her sleek swimsuit highlighting her toned, athletic figure.

Her limbs appeared slender, but they were defined by tight, lean muscles. It was not the stiff, artificial look of a gym enthusiast, but the natural, raw power forged from years of outdoor hiking and extreme expeditions.

The rescued girl collapsed onto the deck, her breathing dangerously shallow. Chaos reigned around them as people shouted for the onboard doctor and scrambled to find a first-aid kit.
