Seeing Naomi's confusion, the woman, Melanie Coleman, explained, "Naomi, I'm Melanie. We were classmates in high school. I was the best in languages back then." "Melanie, best in languages..." Naomi suddenly remembered. "No wonder you look so familiar. It's been years since we last met. I didn't recognize you." Naomi smiled and walked closer, handing one of the cups to Melanie.
She remembered Melanie as a quiet girl with glasses. Naomi had a good impression of her.
Melanie took the coffee from Naomi and smiled. “I had laser eye surgery. So, I understand if you didn't recognize me." After taking a seat on the couch, Naomi asked, “Are you here for legal advice, or do you have a case?" Hearing this, Melanie gripped the cup tightly and turned to Naomi with a grim look.

"Half a month ago, Jessica suddenly fell from the third-floor balcony. Luckily, there was a bush under the balcony, so she survived. But she has been in a coma ever since.

"However, Jessica is still in a coma, so we can't ask her about the situation. Ivan and his family insisted that plessica was never abused and claimed that the bruises on her body were caused by the fall. However, those marks are clearly old injuries. "As for why Jessica fell, Ivan said he'd had an argument with her that day, and Jessica had jumped off the building because she couldn't take it anymore.
"But my sister isn't the type of person who would commit suicide.
"Their family has connections with the security there. Both the security and the police state that Jessica had show never shown suicidal thoughts, and the neighbors never heard anything about it either. "They said my family was overthinking, so no one is looking into this."
Melanie's eyes began to water. She tried to compose herself, trembling as she looked at Naomi. "Naomi, my family wants to sue Ivan for domestic violence and attempted murder. "Jessica would never commit suicide. At the very least, she would want to live for our parents. She wouldn't forgive herself if our parents had to bury their daughter." Melanie couldn't stop the tears from streaming down her face when she recalled Jessica's injuries and comatose state.
