Love in Prime Years novel Chapter 20

Amelia felt her heart skip a beat.

She did not want Leigh to know about her illness, so as not to affect his next surgery.

She pretended to be relaxed and touched Leigh's face, "Leigh, you heard what Lawrence and I just said, right?"

Seeing Leigh nod, Amelia then said with a soft smile, "Silly Leigh, I just lied to him. You often watch TV dramas, right? On TV dramas nowadays, girls like to pretend to be pitiful. I was just doing the same thing to change his mind, Unfortunately, I failed."

"Mom, is it true what you said?" Leigh was after all only a three old child and he couldn't understand the thoughts of adults.

Amelia rubbed her little head, "Of course it's true! People who lie would have long noses! I am a beautiful woman, and I don't want a long nose."

"Leigh, don't worry. I am healthy! I still want to see you grow up and become a big man."

The door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, Lawrence entered. He took the car keys left on the table and left in deadly silence.

The moment he turned around, he sneered at Amelia and curled up his lips.

On his face, there was an undisguised mockery. Obviously, the lie she told to comfort Leigh was heard by Lawrence.

Amelia lowered her eyelids bitterly. But she thought Leigh was still with her, so she still remained optimistic.

But she didn't expect that Leigh suddenly became agitated. Just now, he still stayed in her arms quietly. Like an angry little beast, Leigh rushed to Lawrence and bit his wrist hard.

"Bad guy! You bullied my mother! You're the bad guy!" Leigh almost used all his strength to bite Lawrence.

Suddenly, blood came from Lawrence's wrist.

Amelia feared that Lawrence would hurt Leigh, so she rushed forward to pull Leigh away. But Lawrence was faster than her. Before she could touch them, Leigh was thrown away hard.

As Leigh lay on the ground like a broken doll, Amelia felt her heart in so much pain that it seemed to break into pieces.

But there was no pity in Lawrence's eye at all. He looked at Leigh condescendingly and said with disgust and disdain, "How dare you!"

"Leigh!" Seeing the blood seeping out again from the bandage Leigh's bandage on the leg again, Amelia didn't even have time to argue with Lawrence since he had already walked out of the door. She just held Leigh into her arms with all her might and frantically rang the bell as she yelled, "Doctor!" The wound reopened and it really hurt.

Leigh was in so much pain that cold sweat appeared on his forehead. But he gritted his teeth to keep himself from crying out in pain.

He was worried that his beloved mother would be upset, "Mom, don't cry!"

Leigh stretched out his bandaged hand and awkwardly wiped the tears from the corner of Amelia's eyes, "It's not hurt! It's true. People who lie would have long noses. I'm not lying!"

Hearing Leigh's words, Amelia cried even more. Leigh continued to wipe her tears in a hurry, "Mom, I'm sorry. It's all my fault that I can't protect you. And I even bring you a lot of trouble."

Amelia hastily turned her face away to prevent Leigh from seeing the tears that were flooding into her eyes.

How could it be Leigh's fault? Leigh was the best boy!

So, even if she were to be torn to pieces, she would raise a million dollars for the operation on Leigh before she died!

Lillian was restless for the past few days when she pretended to be sick.
