Love in Prime Years novel Chapter 24

Madeleine did not answer immediately. Glancing at Amelia’s face slowly, there were twist and viciousness in Madeleine’s lovely face.

Sometimes in the world, the love or hate to someone was inexplicable.

It was just like that Madeleine hated Amelia. In fact, Amelia never did anything to hurt Madeleine. On the contrary, she used to help Madeleine, but Madeleine still hated Amelia.

When Madeleine was a child, she hated Amelia’s attractive face, but now she hated Amelia because of her attraction to Rufus.

“Lillian said...” Madeleine elongated the tone, which was sweet but particularly scary now, “Take her fingers to feed the dog!”

Madeleine’s henchman shivered involuntarily but replied respectfully, “Yes, Miss Gibson!”

“As for this woman...” Madeleine glanced at Amelia with disgust and jealousy, “Throw her back to where she is from!”

Then Amelia was thrown back to her small apartment in Willow Alley.

Unlike the cleanness when she was taken away, she was lying on the floor with blood staining her clothes. But Madeleine’s henchmen didn’t want to make things worse, so they bandaged Amelia to stem the bleeding. However, Amelia was out of consciousness completely when they did this.

Because the severe pain in her stomach and the pain in the wound were more than she could bear, she passed out with pain after she was taken out of the dungeon.

It was already the next morning when she woke up. She would think what happened last night was just a nightmare, if there were not the extreme pain from her broken finger.

She could not imagine that Rufus, who had said he would protect her from hurts, would order others to cut off her finger on his own.

Her phone was not thrown away by those people. She clutched it with her right hand. She had intended to call the police.

However, considering the power of Family Moss in Harper City and the influence of Family Palmer, Amelia was clear that it would make no difference even if she called the police.

More importantly, even if Rufus hurt her cruelly, Amelia l couldn’t forget that he had been her good friend who shared weal and woe with her.

Amelia got up from the floor wearily. She had not eaten anything since noon yesterday. It risked her life to treat her body like this.

She was really tired both physically and mentally, but she tried her best to live a few more days. The longer she lived, the greater the chance she could raise enough medical fees for Leigh.

After she cooked a bowl of millet congee for herself, the doorbell rang. Amelia was afraid that it was Rufus’s men who came to trouble her again. To her surprise, it was her best friend Sapphire who was standing at the door.

There was heavy makeup on Sapphire’s beautiful face, but the makeup could not cover the obvious scars on her face. It was evident that she had been beaten again.

Sapphire didn’t want Amelia to worry about her, so she turn her face aside after entering the door in case Amelia would see the scars on her face.

“Amelia, there is 150 thousand dollars. I know it’s not enough for Leigh’s operation. Just take it, and I’ll try to collect more.”

Sapphire stuffed a heavy paper bag into Amelia’s arms. Amelia saw clearly that the jade bracelet Sapphire had been wearing on her left wrist was missing.

“Sapphire, where’s your bracelet?” Amelia grabbed Sapphire’s left hand and said, “Did you sell your bracelet?”
