Love in Prime Years

Chapter 3 No Longer the Only One

As the child fell down on the ground, the paper in his hand drifted on the ground like an autumn leaf. It

finally landed by Amelia's feet.

Amelia could see there were three people in that picture: the child, his mom, and his dad.

Leigh always missed his dad. He kept denying it because he didn't want to make Amelia sad.

He had even written down two big words beside his dad.

"My Superhero."

Amelia's tears streamed down off her cheeks silently. He took Lawrence as a hero, but the man took

him as a bastard.

How ironic and pathetic!

The intense pain took over Amelia's chest again. She held Leigh tightly in her arms, and let her tears

rain down.

"Leigh, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"

She didn't dare to delay the slightest bit. She put Leigh in her broken minivan and took him to the

hospital.

Leigh had been suffering from severe thalassemia. He wouldn't be able to live to his fifth birthday even

after he had the operation this time. However, if he failed to have the surgery, he would definitely die

this winter.

Leigh was only three years old. He was such a well-behaved and cute boy. She couldn't let his life

ceased in the cold winter.

"Hang in there, Leigh! I promise everything will be fine!"

At the intersection in front of the hospital, a big red coupe suddenly rushed out of the corner and NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

crashed into Amelia's minivan.

Amelia tried to turn the steering wheel as fast as she could, but the coupe had already run into her car

violently.

In the moment of life and death, Amelia glanced at Lillian's vicious face.

“Leigh!” Amelia knew she was bleeding, but she didn't care. She carried Leigh who was also covered in

blood and rushed into the hospital.

Leigh was accepted by the emergency department. Seeing the lights outside the room turning on,

Amelia had never felt as nervous as now.

She prayed in her heart over and over again. She didn't want anything bad happen to this cute little

boy.

"Amelia!" Someone approached hurriedly from behind. Before Amelia could react, she had been

pressed rudely on the way by Lawrence.

"Lawrence..."

Amelia was already in a daze. Her face paled because she had lost lots of blood.

Lawrence was surprised to see Amelia covering in blood, but he immediately turned gloomy and cold

when he recalled what Lillian told him.

"Amelia! How dare you deliberately crashed into Lillian's car! She's pregnant! Are you trying to kill her

and her child?"

Amelia was so shocked when she heard that Lillian was pregnant.

She felt as if somebody had punched her chest. All of a sudden, those words he said to her on her 18th

birthday crossed her mind.

"Amelia! You're everything I want! You'll be my only love for the rest of my life! You're the other half of

me!"

She could still remember how he looked when he said that, but now he had made another woman

pregnant.

Amelia felt a strange pain at her fingertips. The news was too big a shock for her.

That meant she was no longer Lawrence's only one.

"Say something!"

Lawrence grabbed Amelia's neck violently and said, "Amelia, I know Lillian is not your biological sister,

but she has been treating you like a real one for over 20 years. Why do you have to kill her?"

"I didn't do it, Lawrence! It was her! She deliberately hit me and Leigh! She tried to kill us!"

"Amelia! You're so insane! Lillian would never risk the life of herself and her child to hit you and the

bastard! Amelia! The doctor just told me she would lose the baby!"

Lawrence's eyes turned red. The pregnancy was not what he expected, but he still loves the kid. He

hated Amelia so much that he wanted to kill her and tear her apart.

"You killed my two children; you owe me two lives. Amelia... you must pay for it!"

"Lawrence, I didn't do it! You..."

The doctor hastily ran over and said, "Mr Dominic, your wife and Leigh had the same blood type... Rh-

negative trait. They both need blood transfusion now, but we only have the amount for one in our

hospital. Who should we save first?"
