Chapter 704

Of course, they would also push her outside to get some sun, but the duration was limited.

Maisie looked at the person sleeping in bed and heard the nurse sigh. “Ms. Topaz got into the accident at
such a young age and has been sleeping for over 10 years. Even the doctors advised Mt. Topaz to let
go.”

Maisie felt complicated. She wouldn’t have known about Naomi if Louis had never mentioned her.

She thought of something. “No one has visited her other than Mr. Topaz?”

The nurse pondered. “Her coursemates visited at first, but it didn’t continue for long. No one else came
after that.”

Maisie stayed there for a while before leaving the nursing home. She got into her car and gave Ryleigh a
call.

Ryleigh was at the pool hall with Barbara. Maisie went there with Saydie and saw only the two of them at
the table.

She walked over with her arms crossed. “You’re enjoying yourselves.”

Ryleigh was drinking coke, then smiled. “We’re jobless. Of course, we’re enjoying ourselves.”

Barbara hit a ball into the hole and stood up to retort,”

I’m not like you. I have enough money even though I’m jobless.”

Ryleigh was rendered speechless.



Maisie took the cue that Barbara handed to her, walked to the table, and got balls 7 and 12 into the
pockets. “Ryleigh, I’m here to see you.”

Ryleigh stopped what she was doing. “Why?”

Maisie didn’t speak.

Barbara teased, “Did Xyla do something again?“

“It’s not about her.” Maisie looked up at Ryleigh.

Ryleigh pointed at herself. “It’s about me?”

Maisie nodded.

Ryleigh laughed drily. “What did I do?”

“If you didn’t do anything, why would Louis look into your background?”





Ryleigh was obviously surprised but didn’t speak.

Maisie looked at her and said, “You never thought of giving an explanation about that?”

“What is there to explain?” Ryleigh’s eyes showed that she was still trying to evade the truth.

Maisie put down the cue. “Even though it’s been over 10 years, I never asked because you never talked
about it, and I know you’re not like that. I went to see Naomi.”

Ryleigh’s expression changed a little. She lowered her head and bit her lip.



Barbara looked at them. “What is this about?”

Neither of them answered, and it became quiet.

Soon, Maisie said, “Ryleigh, I want to help you.”

Ryleigh had helped her in the past, but Maisie never got to help her back. Thus, she had to help Ryleigh
get out of this now.

Ryleigh paused and looked down. “… I don’t know what happened either. When I woke up, Naomi was
already lying in a pool of blood.”

“When you woke up?” Maisie was shocked.

Ryleigh nodded. “I had received a message from Naomi, asking me to go meet her to talk about
something, so I went over…”

When she had gotten there, she didn’t see Naomi. As such, she had waited at the stairs for a while
before suddenly fainting.

After waking up, her neck had been hurting, as if she had been hit. She then saw Naomi lying in a pool of
blood at the bottom of the stairs as if she had fallen.

She had been shocked, and when she realized that she needed to report this to a teacher, the people
from the orchestra had already shown up with one.

There wasn’t surveillance at the stairs, and the cameras in the corridor had caught her walking through,
but she hadn’t appeared after a long time.

Thus, the video was suddenly the ‘proof of her ‘crime’.
