Chapter 1000
Seeing that Ryleigh’s body was trembling, Louis dashed straight up to her, squatted in front of her, and
held her cold hands. “What happened?”
Maisie looked at her at the same time.
Ryleigh burst into tears. “I’m sorry… I’m truly sorry… I really didn’t mean it…” She was at a loss, felt
afraid and uneasy, and all her emotions surged over the top in a single moment, causing her to break
down.
Louis brought her into his arms as she kept shaking, crying, and apologizing.
Maisie noticed something when the doctor came out of the emergency room at the exact moment and
asked, “Which among you is Joe Watson’s family member?” Ryleigh stopped crying, pushed Louis away,
and stood up tremblingly. “I… I’m his friend.” The doctor walked up to her. “Do you know any of his family
members?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRyleigh was unable to speak, so Maisie approached the doctor and answered, “I’ll contact his family on
behalf of the hospital, but may ! know what happened to him?”
The doctor looked solemn and sighed. “I’m sorry, We’ve done everything within our capability.”
Those words struck like a thunderbolt in Ryleigh and Maisie’s ears.
Maisie was stunned in place, unable to return to her senses, while Ryleigh staggered backward as if
every single ounce of energy had been drawn from her body, and her eyesight began to go dizzy.
Seeing that she fainted all of a sudden, Louis supported her immediately.” Ryleigh!”
He then picked her up and ran toward the emergency room.
Helios and Barbara were unaware of what had happened, so they could only stare at Maisie.
Nolan stood behind Maisie, then walked over and wrapped his arms around her shoulders after a short
while. He did not say a word and only accompanied her silently.
Ryleigh had a long dream, dreaming of scenes from back when she was in high school.
“Ryleigh, what would you like to eat today?”
“Ryleigh, you didn’t do your homework again? Take mine, and remember not to copy everything word by
word. If not, the teacher will find out about it.”
“Ryleigh, what movie do you want to watch on the weekend? And what do you want to eat? I’ll treat you
to some snacks.”
“Do you want the truth?”
“I’ve always liked you.”
The scene shifted to the day when they graduated. When they were getting ready for the graduation
photo, some students teased that Ryleigh was too fierce, not gentle, and she would not be able to get
married in the future.
And Joe, who was standing behind Ryleigh, heard those comments. “I’ll marry Ryleigh if she can’t get
herself married in the future.”
Ryleigh turned around, took off her hat, and threw it at him. “Are you saying that I won’t be able to get
myself married in the future!?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing that Joe was smacked, several classmates laughed.
Ryleigh slowly opened her eyes, and everything turned into smoke and disappeared in front of her eyes
at the end.
Tears streamed down from the corners of her eyes and drenched the pillow.
Louis stood at the door but did not walk inside. Maisie and Nolan came over when he was about to turn
around and leave.
Maisie asked hoarsely. “Is she awake?”
Louis nodded.
Maisie stood at the door, took a glance inside, and said to Louis. “I already know the truth of the matter,
and this might
affect your relationship, so…”
“I know.” Louis turned to look at Ryleigh.” I’ll be with her as she gets through it. If one year isn’t enough,
then make it a few more years.” Maisie lowered her gaze and said nothing.
Three days had passed after this incident. Ryleigh was in the same state throughout all those days-she
did not talk nor eat, and all she did was stare out the window in a daze.
