Love in Prime Years novel Chapter 55

She tried to jump off the cliff.

“Amelia.”

Lawrence dashed towards and held her into his arm forcibly.

“Let me go, Lawrence. Let me find Leigh. He says he’s cold down there alone, he needs me, I need to find him!”

“Listen to me, Amelia. I’ll let my people find him. Don’t do anything stupid?

“Stupid?”

Amelia smiled mocking. “I’ll tell what is stupid. Living without Leigh is stupid!”

She wrenched, she squirmed, but all her efforts were vain. She couldn’t get out of Lawrence’s embrace, not at all.

“Get off me! Get off me!”

She fought like a beast in a cage. It hurt Lawrence to see her in such pain, he cradled her up. “Amelia, I’m going to let you do anything stupid.”

“Amelia, I know I owe you this time. But Lillian saved my life, I can’t just watch her die.”

“I just want you to be fine, we can start over. Amelia…”

He felt the resistance in his arms died suddenly. He thought she finally listened. But then he lowered his head only to find out that Amelia had passed out.

Blood kept oozing from the wound on her forehead and her mouth. It’s like the blood was flowing to the end of the time.

“Amelia!”

His heart ached at the scene of the blood. He sprinted to the car holding Amelia. In haste, he even forgot Lillian.

He was planning to take her back to Repulse Bay and let his personal doctor treat her. But Amelia woke up when they reached the bottom of the mountain.

He was afraid that she might act out again. But to his utter surprise, she was as calm as still water.

But it was that calmness that stung Lawrence’s heart even more.

“Amelia…”

“Mr. Lawrence, take me to Willow Alley please.” She said numbly, as if she were a body with no soul.

“Amelia, Leigh…”

She cut him off. “Mr. Lawrence. For god’s sake, don’t say Leigh’s name anymore. Don’t throw dirt on his name.”

In the past, he would’ve broken her neck if Amelia dared talk to him like that. But this time he just kept silent, he knew he deserved the condemnation.

They soon arrived at Willow Alley.

Amelia was like a zombie all the time. It was not until when she opened the door and Lawrence tried to follow her in that she talked.

Her voice was flat, unusually flat. It sounded like the world no longer meant anything to her.

“You may leave now, Mr. Lawrence.”
