Love in Prime Years novel Chapter 3

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 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.
