“Even if the bastard is really kidnapped...” Lawrence’s voice was freezing and cruel, “There’s nothing to do with me!”
Then he hung up. There was nothing to do with him...
Amelia stared blankly at the darkening mobile phone screen. She trembled suddenly and felt that she lost all the strength to support her legs at this moment. She could not stand up even if she was supported by the bed beside her.
Her eyes were blurred by the tears and she was losing her consciousness gradually. In a trance, she seemed to hear someone whispering affectionately beside her ears.
He said that she and their son was both precious for him. He would spend all his life to love them.
But now, they were not precious for him, and he said... there was nothing to do with him.
Lawrence, how cruel you were!
Amelia knew that if she fell down now, she might never stand up again. So she had to keep her body right even if she gritted her teeth hard.
The great pain overwhelmed her, every corner of her body.
Amelia stood up narrowly. She felt as if she was walking in thorns or walking in storms of knives and arrows, and the knives and arrows were attacking her.
She called Lawrence again, but he didn’t answer it.
She looked blankly at the traffic outside of the window for a while, and then she decided to go to Shallow Bay for Lawrence. Even if Lawrence said that Amelia and the dog were not allowed in, she must see him tonight!
Having made up her mind Amelia dared not delay at all. She took her handbag and ran downstairs quickly.
When she ran to the door of the ward, she thought of something. Then she turned back, took the fruit knife on the bedside table and left.
Amelia knew how much Lawrence hated her and he regarded her as his enemy whom he wished to cut into pieces.
So she would give him a chance tonight to do so. She would make her life at his disposal as long as he could give her ten million Dollars to save Leigh!
She only hoped that he would give her a breath, and then she could save Leigh with the money!
In fact, it seldom snowed in Harper City, but somehow it had already snowed several times not long after the beginning of winter this year.
When Amelia was in the hospital, it had not snowed yet. By the time she got to Shallow Bay, however, it snowed heavily.
Outside the Shallow Bay, the lights flickered brightly as if it were daylight now. Because of the bright light, Amelia could see the sign on the door of the villa again.
Amelia and the dog were not allowed in.
Well, it was fine. The sign could be her epitaph when she died, Amelia thought.
Amelia was too weak to summon her strength, and she rang the doorbell with the support of the wall.
She kept ringing the doorbell for more than ten minutes, but there was no one answering the door.
Just when she thought the door would not be open tonight, the door was suddenly opened.
The housekeeper of the villa stood at the gate with an expressionless face. "Come in!"
