Love in Prime Years novel Chapter 76

“What are you talking about?” Lawrence asked subconsciously.

Steven still looked as indifferent, but he was seemingly worried about his brother.

“You may get momentarily pleasure from displeasing your wife, but rest assured you would suffer great pains when you have to coax her. Lawrence, all the best.”

“Coaxing my wife?” Lawrence sneered, “I would be rejoicing if Amelia was sent to the crematorium!”

At that time, Lawrence spoke confidently of it, but he never thought that he would need to send her to one. Sometime later, he would really go to the crematorium to see Amelia off...

Arthur stopped pulling Amelia until they were outside Repulse Bay villa area.

The kiss from earlier didn't affect his good mood, and he still had a splendid appearance.

“Amelia, no one would bother us now, we can finally kiss!”

Amelia actually wanted to find a quieter place to tell clarify with Arthur. Now that she's out, she didn't have to worry about her rejecting him, which would have made him lose face in public.

“Mr. Palmer, I'm sorry, I can't accept you.”

The expression on Arthur’s face was stagnant for a while, but the next second, he displayed a warm smile, “Amelia, I know you don’t like me but it’s okay. When we get together, you can take your time to discover the good in me and fall for me.”

“Mr. Palmer, I know that you're good. You are the best man I have ever seen. But Mr. Palmer, I really can’t be with you. I don’t deserve you. You deserve the best girl.”

“Amelia, in my heart, only you can match me!”

Amelia knew that Arthur would definitely not give up easily if she just said something unworthy, so she planned to tell him the truth.

“Mr. Palmer, if I have a healthy body and a lifetime, I think, I will accept you with no hesitation. Even if I don't like you now, I will gradually like you in the future.”

“I don't have a healthy body, and I can't spend a lifetime with you, so Mr. Palmer, I don't want to hold you back.”

“Amelia, what do you mean by that?” Arthur firmly grasped Amelia's little hand and asked eagerly.

“Mr. Palmer, I am sick, and I don’t have much time left. Meeting you had warmed our very last days. I had selfishly enjoyed the warmth you gave me, but I know that I would not be able to give you anything at the end of it.”

“Mr. Palmer, I can't be so selfish anymore. I am unable to give you the happiness you deserve, so I can't continue to waste your time. Forget about me, go find a better girl. You are so good; you will definitely be happy.”

“Amelia, what kind of condition do you have?” Arthur asked with a trembling voice after a long pause.

“The advanced stage of stomach cancer.” Amelia tried to make her voice sound calmer, “Mr. Palmer, I should have told you earlier so that you wouldn't waste time on me. But you made me feel warm, like a father or a brother that made me selfishly want to enjoy the warmth you bring me for a few more days.”

“But now that you know, stop wasting time on me. To be with a dying person, you would end up with nothing but sadness.”

“Mr. Palmer, goodbye. I hope you won't run into such a disgusting and selfish girl like me again in the future.”

After she spoke, Amelia slowly broke off Arthur's hand, she turned around with some difficulty and quickly walked forward.

She had no relatives anymore. She truly regarded Arthur as her relative. In fact, she really wanted to be accompanied by a relative in the last period of her life, but she felt too selfish. She can't just ask and not return the favor.

“Amelia!” Arthur quickly stepped forward, and he firmly grasped Amelia's hand, “I don't believe it!”

Without giving Amelia any opportunity to refuse, Arthur took her to the city hospital.

Amelia really didn't want to go to the hospital. She didn't like the smell of the disinfectant of it, but in order to make Arthur completely give up, she still obediently accepted the examinations.

Arthur's hands couldn't help but trembled after he received the result. On several occasions, the results slip almost fell from his hand.

A group of experts stood nervously beside him, and Arthur squeezed the collar of the expert who had just spoken, “What did you say? Repeat what you had just said.”

The expert’s body trembles more severely, but he still spoke truthfully, “Mr. Palmer, Ms. Jordan has advanced gastric cancer. She can no longer undergo surgery. Even chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and other treatments would only add more pain to her. I suggest a more conservative treatment, that way, Ms. Jordan would feel better in the last few days of her life.”

“The last few days of life? What do you mean by the last few days?” Arthur roared, “Tell me clearly!”

The expert nervously supported the thick myopia glasses on the bridge of his nose, “Ms. Jordan doesn't have much time. If it's good, she can last for half a month. If it's not good, she can only last a few days.”

Arthur didn't want to listen to the nonsense of these experts. He originally intended to beat up these experts, but in the end, he lost all his strength and could only sullenly loosen his collar.

He was grounded in a daze. For an instant, it was as if a natural disaster had come, the vigorous tree had lost all its vitality, withered, and decayed.

Seeing Arthur’s desperate appearance, Amelia felt terribly distressed. She had thought of rejecting him directly before, to make him give up, but he was too stubborn. Even if she rejected him, he would not let go that easily. She could only use such an extreme method.

She cleared her throat and tried to pretend to speak briskly, “Mr. Palmer, had I lied to you? Forget about me and find a good girl.”

Her body was suddenly tightly bounded. It was so tight as though the souls of the two people were almost entangled together.

Arthur whispered to Amelia's ear over and over again, “Amelia, I won't let go, I won't let go! Even if we will pass away in the next second, I want to be with you at this very second!”

“Yes, let's go to Auntie Heathway! She is an expert in this area, and she would definitely be able to cure you!”

Amelia gently pressed Arthur's hand, “Mr. Palmer, I know my body. Any sort of treatment is useless. Besides, I don't want to go to the Dominic residence anymore. Auntie Heathway is great, I like them very much, but I don’t want to see them again.”

Those people in the Dominic family are so nice, that the more she comes into contact with them, the more reluctant she is to give up.

She doesn't want that.

Arthur did not force anymore. The man stood upright, his eyes were red, and his voice softened a little bit, “Amelia, I won't force you, I won't force you to be with me. Just be friends, how about being a friend? Okay? Let me accompany you.”

Since Arthur had said so, Amelia could no longer refuse. She thought, in this life, she was destined to owe him. In the next life, she would use all means to repay this favor!

After the examination, Arthur and Amelia left the hospital. Unexpectedly, there was a tragic car accident at the entrance of the hospital. Amelia knew the protagonist of the car accident!
