Chapter 732

At the nursing home...

Water droplets dripped off the eaves and onto the leaves of a potted plant sitting on the windowsill. Anthony sat on the couch, flipping through a photo album and feeling extremely melancholic.

His daughter had been hurt and had fallen into a long coma. He had been guarding her for a decade and had no idea how long this would last. Louis stood at the door and knocked on the door, which caused Anthony to put the album down. "Who are you?" he asked in a hoarse voice.

"My name is Louis Lucas." 'Mr. Lucas?" Anthony was a little bewildered. "Why would you come to me, Mr. Lucas?" Louis glanced at the person lying on the bed and explained, "I've come here today with someone else." Anthony did not understand what he meant, so he only stood in place and watched as Louis asked his bodyguard to bring the person in. It was an old man in his 60s whom he did not know. Anthony asked, "This is?"

Louis replied, "He used to be a security guard of the University of Northway, but he's currently retired. He knows about your daughter's incident."

Anthony stood up and looked at the old man. "Do you really know?"

The old man's shoulders trembled as he explained, "I... I can't remember everything very clearly, but I still remember that incident you're talking about." Louis placed his hand on his shoulder." Don't worry, sir, just tell us what you saw back then."

The old man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded. "I remember it was ten years ago. I saw two young girls arguing behind the performance hall. However, I was too far away from them, and I didn't know what they were arguing about. I was about to approach them when I saw,"

Anthony interrupted him and asked immediately, "What did you see?" "I saw one of the girls pick something up and use it to hit the head of the other girl. The girl didn't move at all after collapsing on the floor. I was shocked and went to look for the professor in charge."

The old man said that the two girls had disappeared from the scene when he brought the professor there and that there was no blood on the floor, so he thought he was mistaken. He had seen the girl collapse on the floor, but she was already gone when he came back to the scene.

That professor had thought he was driveling and did not believe him until when a student told them that someone had gotten pushed down the stairs, and they went to the entrance on the second floor. Anthony sat on the couch in a daze, recalled his daughter's diagnosis back then, which showed that she was suffering from a severe head injury, and thought of the old man's words. He then thought of something, took a photo out of the album, and showed it to the old man. "Please take a good look at this photo. Is this girl the victim who got beaten back then?"

The old man stared at the photo for a long time. Because he had witnessed the incident with his own eyes and had been deeply scarred, he would even have nightmares from time to time. He then nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, yes. It's her." Anthony asked immediately, "Do you still remember who was the girl who committed the crime?"

The old man shook his head. "That I really don't know. Her back was facing me, and I didn't see her face."

Louis looked at the old man and asked intriguingly, "Since you still have some

impression of those two girls, you should be able to recall their respective heights, shouldn't you?" The man replied, "Both of them are about the same height."

The statement was enough to prove that Ryleigh was not the culprit.

Ryleigh was not as tall as Maisie. She was a petite woman, while Naomi was around 5'5.

The old man was an eyewitness to that incident. If the two girls were of about the same height, it showed that the other party looked very similar to Naomi in terms of height.

Anthony pondered for a moment. "Then why didn't you come forward and tell me this back then?"

The old man explained in a panic, "I said it,

but they didn't believe me. I was stunned after seeing the face of the girl lying underneath the staircase. They later claimed that they had found the culprit, and I didn't doubt that statement..."
