Love in Prime Years novel Chapter 2

Her stomachache was getting more and more intense. She took a deep breath to go on.

"The truth is Lillian threatened me to leave with Grandma's life. She killed Grandma... and she has been harming..."

Crack! Amelia felt pain on her neck. Lawrence's big and slender hands were grabbing her hard on the neck. She was choked and could barely make any sound.

"Amelia! How dare you slander Lillian? Four years ago, you had my legs broken, but she had spent every cent to pay for the treatment. I could've been disabled without her!"

"Where were you then? Amelia? You were sleeping with Jimmy!"

"I did not!" Amelia shook her head and said, "Lawrence, there was nothing between me and Jimmy. Lillian set me up! I didn't send anyone to cripple you... it was Lillian!"

"Enough!" Lawrence interrupted her coldly. His handsome face looked so grim. "Amelia... I won't believe a single word of yours!"

Amelia stopped arguing. She would only be humiliating herself if he was determined not to believe her words.

With one hand on her aching stomach, Amelia forced a few words out of her mouth, "Lawrence, I took Leigh to the hospital a few days ago. He's in a very critical condition now. Can you lend me some money?"

"Aw, I forgot to pay you," he said as he curled his lips. There was no joy in his eyes, which made the smiled look ruthless.

He let go of Amelia's neck and took out two one-hundred bills from his wallet. Then he threw them on her face and said, "One hundred dollars for once... that's a compliment to you."

Amelia's heart ached so much that she felt her chest might explode at any minute. However, she still bent over and picked up the bills on the ground.

Her posture was as humble as a slave.

She put the bills in her purse carefully. That could help her live one more day. Lawrence cut off all her financial resources to humiliate her, and she had to save every coin to save Leigh's life.

After she put the money back, she asked, "Lawrence, please lend me 500,000 dollars... I'll pay you back! Please save Leigh!"

"Save that bastard?" Lawrence sneered, his eyes gleaming like a knife. "Amelia, you killed my child! Why should I save you and Jimmy's bastard? I hope the little bastard can burn in hell! Why should I save him?"

"No! Leigh is not a bastard! I didn't abort our child... he has your blood!"
