Love in Prime Years novel Chapter 44

Amelia was not in a coma for a long time. When she woke up, it was still a silent and dark night.

There were no stars in the night sky today. Even the flashing neon lights on the road outside were kind of desolate and solitary.

Amelia rubbed her neck subconsciously. When she opened her eyes, she realized a very serious thing, Leigh was missing!

There were three beds in this ward, but the patients in the other two beds were discharged yesterday, leaving only Leigh. But now the ward was empty, and there was no one else but Amelia.

“Leigh!” Amelia rushed to the bathroom, but Leigh was not there.

There was a bad feeling in Amelia’s heart, which made she feel a pain in her heart. It was so painful that she had to open her mouth to get more air.

Amelia grabbed her chest hard and forced herself not to weep. She kept telling herself not to be panicked, and that maybe Leigh just went for a walk outside to get some air.

But she was clear that there was a great chance Leigh was in danger.

Leigh was a good boy. He could not wander around at night. Besides, she was attacked by someone and was in a coma, so it was obvious that the attacker took Leigh away!

Amelia ran back and forth in the corridor, but she didn’t find Leigh at all.

Thinking that there were cameras in the hospital, she went to the nurse on duty without delay and asked to see the video. But unfortunately, she found that the line of the hospital monitoring system was broken tonight, so she could not find out who took Leigh from the hospital at all.

Amelia was not silly, and realized that the malfunction of the monitoring system in the hospital was not a coincidence but a deliberate action. The intention of it was to take Leigh away without attracting others’ attention!

But she didn’t know why anyone would do this to Leigh, who was so cute and never hurt anyone.

Amelia thought she should call the police! Amelia took out her cell phone trembling. As soon as she was about to call the police, her phone rang.

Seeing that it was an unknown number, Amelia picked it up without hesitation.

“Amelia.” A voice of a strange man came from the phone. The man’s voice was rough and hoarse, which sounded like he bad intentions.

“Are you the one who take away Leigh? Where’s Leigh now? Bring him back to me!”

“Yes, I have him.” The man smiled wickedly, “But, It’s not easy for you to ask me to bring him back! Since I have taken so many efforts to catch him, how could I let him go before I get some benefits?”

"What do you want?" Amelia really hated to be dominated by others, but she had to compromise considering the safety of Leigh, “Just say it! What do you want? I’ll give you no matter what you want, only if you don’t hurt Leigh!”

“Since you’re so up-front, I’ll say it out! I want ten million Dollars!”

The man paused, and then he threatened, “Give ten million Dollars to me before the evening of the day after tomorrow, or just collect your son’s body!”

“Oh, of course, you can call the police. But if you do it, I’ll kill your son immediately!”

Gave the man ten million Dollars by the evening of the day after tomorrow...
