Love in Prime Years novel Chapter 1

A snowy day.

Amelia was rubbing her own belly. It was so painful as if there were a knife stabbing into it. She almost fainted and fell on the ground; but finally, she made her way to the gate of the Shallow Bay Villa.

"Lawrence, please lend me 500,000 dollars! Leigh is your child! He'll die without the surgery! Please, please help us!"

The pain in her belly had become more and more intense. She couldn't control the spasms of her body anymore. She tried to straighten her back, but the pain made her cramp like a shrimp.

The advanced gastric cancer was putting her in real suffering.

Amelia gritted her teen and keep knocking at the closed gate.

"Lawrence, please! I'll do whatever you want me to do, as long as you can lend me the money!! Please!"

Cracking! The gate to the villa was pushed open. Amelia's desperate eyes were lit up with a hint of hope.

"Is Lawrence going to see me?"

The housekeeper of the villa walked out, and put a sign in front of her with a poker face. Then he closed the gate again.

Amelia almost sat on the ground when she saw the sign. Tears rolled down her cheeks immediately.

"No dogs and no Amelia."

Puff...Amelia laughed out with tears sheathed her face. The sign was more of a praise to her. Lawrence would've treated her better if she were a dog.

Lawrence believed Amelia was a vicious woman. He was just a humble young man four years ago, and Amelia had their kids aborted because she wanted to marry the rich guy from the Moss family. She killed their kids and broke up with him without hesitation. She had even hired someone to break his legs.

But that was not true. He wouldn't believe the truth no matter how hard she tried to explain.

The wind was howling, and the snow grew heavier. Snowflakes had been blown into her clothes, which felt freezing cold. She couldn't even tell which was colder, the snowflakes or Lawrence's heart.

A few dead leaves stuck to her right arm. She raised her hand and tried to get rid of them until she realized her left arms could no longer move.
