Love in Prime Years novel Chapter 21

“Lillian, you are insane!” Amelia did not want to bother herself to talk with her. Finishing these words, she hung up directly.

After hanging up the phone, Amelia’s heart was still thumping. She knew Lillian would keep her promise to give Amelia money if Amelia killed Dorothy. Although she was eager to get enough money as quick as possible to save Leigh, she could not violate her conscience.

Amelia liked Dorothy from the bottom of her heart. Dorothy was not only Amelia’s icon, but also a light in her heart.

When she was a child, Amelia was weak and sickly, and she was often bullied by her classmates at school. Once upon a time, she was pushed into a puddle by several female classmates and she was as dirty as a drowned rat.

At that time, Dorothy, who went to school to do public service, saw her and held Amelia from the puddle carefully without pretending to be a super star at all. Dorothy didn’t mind that Amelia’s dirty clothes stained her precious dress, and she just asked Amelia if it hurt.

A reminiscence of Dorothy’s gentle and loving eyes many years ago still tugged at Amelia’s heartstrings.

Amelia did not understand why Lillian wanted to kill such a good person. After all, Dorothy was Lillian’s mother!

She did not understand why Dougie, who almost wished to cut her into pieces, did not pursue her responsibility suddenly.

Amelia wanted to reveal all the truth and to prove her innocence, but she did not have enough time, so she had to spend her last time raising money to save Leigh. After all, there was nothing more important for her than to keep Leigh alive.

Amelia could find no way to raise enough money, but then she saw a piece of news.

“The eldest son of Moss Family, Rufus, returned and became a new leader of the Moss Group.

Rufus?!

Amelia checked out the news, and found that the man in the photo, who was like the bright moon in sky, was really the Rufus she knew and remembered! The Rufus was the one with whom she shared weal and woe!

During the four years imprisoned by Lillian and Jimmy in the dungeon, Amelia was not alone. Before her entering the dungeon, Rufus, a man covered in blood had been imprisoned in the dungeon.

At that time, Rufus was almost disabled, and it was Amelia who had been massaging him and trying to find a way to get the medicine, so he wasn’t actually disabled.

In order to save Rufus, her left arm was maimed. One day, Jimmy suddenly ordered the guard to take Rufus’s legs. Amelia tried her best to protect him at the cost of her maimed arm in exchange for his safety.

Amelia only loved Lawrence in her heart, and she had no romantic affections for Rufus. But their mutual support in the dungeon was enough to make them leave death behind for each other.

Rufus said that he would work hard for money to cure Leigh if they could leave the dungeon alive and regain the freedom.

Now, he was rich and prominent, so he must be willing to lend her money to cure Leigh.

Thinking that Leigh could be cured, Amelia was ecstatic. She did not know where Rufus lived now, but she found out the location of Moss Building on the Internet, so she intended to go to find him there.

Amelia wanted to go to Rufus’s office, but she didn’t make an appointment and the receptionist didn’t let her in. So she had to wait in the underground garage of Moss Building.

From sunrise to sunset, she finally saw Rufus.

Seeing him coming out of the elevator, she quickly walked to him and grabbed his arm.

“Rufus, I finally found you! Where did you go after you left the inn that day? Why didn’t you contact me and Leigh?”
