Love in Prime Years novel Chapter 17

The doctor seemed to be unaware that the person in front of her was the famous Lawrence Dominic of Harper City. So, when she faced him, she was not as cautious as other doctors.

The middle-aged female doctor pushed her glasses and asked with suspicion, "You didn't even know the patient had gastric cancer? Are you really her family?"

Without waiting for Lawrence to say anything, the doctor said with a frown, "Why didn't she take painkillers when she was in so much pain? How could she not cherish her life like this?"

Lawrence froze. At this time, he really didn't know how to describe his feelings. He didn't know Amelia had advanced gastric cancer.

He did know she did want to take the medicine; it was he who threw the medicine away. He suddenly remembered when Amelia rushed to the window and tried to get the medicine back desperately. He felt heartbroken.

He covered his chest with his hands, but he just couldn't stop feeling hurt. He never knew his heart would hurt like this for her.

After he forced her to have sex, she kept saying that she was not dirty, she was just sick.

It turned out she was really sick.

"What is your relationship with the patient? Are you her family member or not? If you are not her family member, please ask her family members to come here, so they can spend more time with her before she dies."

"She's not going to die!" Lawrence suddenly became agitated.

He raised his head suddenly and stared at the female doctor in front of him with red eyes, which scared the doctor and made her almost fell on the ground with weak legs.

"I won't let her die! No one can let her die!"

The doctor took another step back to keep a safe distance from Lawrence as she managed to sit, "Sir, please face the reality. In her condition, she could hold on for no more than one week! You’d better be prepared."

After saying that, the doctor took a quick glance at him and rushed to the office for fear that Lawrence would go crazy again.

If she had run one step slower, Lawrence would have broken her neck and told her to stop talking nonsense here.

Lawrence, do you know why the brides like to wear white veils on their heads? Because the brides want to be with the grooms until their hair gets white! Lawrence, when we get married, I want to wear a white veil on my head and be your most beautiful bride. Lawrence, I want to grow old with you.

Yes, she said she would grow old with him! She would never leave him!

Seeing Amelia being pushed out of the emergency room, he went to hold her into his arms like crazy.

“Amelia, as long as you are still alive, as long as you are still willing to grow old with me, no matter how you have betrayed me, no matter what kind of evil you have done, I am still willing to be with you.”

When Amelia woke up, it was already the next morning.

In the daze, she once again felt a pair of warm and strong hands holding her hands and that person was also calling her "Amelia" gently. Just like when she was in a coma last time.

Amelia thought she was dreaming again, but when she opened her eyes, she met Lawrence's bloody eyes.

"Lawrence?" Amelia looked at Lawrence with suspicion.

Suddenly, she lowered her eyelids and laughed at herself, "I dreamed again. I can't believe I dreamed that my Lawrence is back again."

"Amelia, you're not dreaming, it's me." Lawrence held Amelia's hand a little tighter, "Amelia, I am Lawrence and I will always be with you."

Lawrence used so much force that Amelia felt a little hurt and it made her realize that she was not dreaming.

The shock on her face became more obvious. Just as she was about to ask him why he became so strange, he said in a hoarse voice, "Amelia, why didn't you tell me that you were sick! Why didn't you tell me when you got this damn disease!"

Amelia's eyelids jumped, she understood Lawrence knew about her advanced gastric cancer, "Lawrence, I told you before, but you didn't believe me."

Lawrence was really shocked upon hearing Amelia's words. He suddenly remembered that when she came to ask for money in order to save Leigh, she did say that she was ill.

What did he say then?

Yes, he said, "You’d better die!"

He felt good when he said this, but now, he was heartbroken.

No longer be able to suppress his love for her, Lawrence used all his force to hold her into his arms, "Amelia, you will not die! You won't die! You will grow old with me!"

"Lawrence ..." Amelia also hugged Lawrence tightly. In the last moments of her life, he finally decided to put down the grudge between them and accepted her again. For her, it was a surprise that she even didn't dare to dream about.

"Amelia, I'm here…"

Amelia nestled in his arms. She could even hear his strong and powerful heartbeat. She had never been so content. She wanted to take the opportunity to make him accept Leigh as well.

"Lawrence, I'm not lying to you, Leigh is really your son. Can you please go and do a paternity test with him? As long as you do the paternity test with him, you will know I never betray you back then, and I didn't kill our child!"

Lawrence's eyes turned darker. The scene that she had sex with Jimmy had already become a sharp pain in his heart. But now, he was willing to listen to her.

"Okay, I'll do the paternity with that bastard… With Leigh."

Seeing that he actually agreed, Amelia was immediately ecstatic, "Lawrence, when you find that Leigh is your son, can you lend me money for his surgery? Leigh won't survive long if he can't have the surgery. Please save Leigh."

"Amelia, I promise you. As long as you live well, I will give you everything you want, even my life."

Lawrence gently kissed Amelia several times. His kiss was so tender and full of love as if she was the most precious one in his heart.

Amelia still felt bad when she remembered that Lillian was pregnant with his child and he forced her to divorce him for Lillian.

But she was about to die and she did not dare to ask for too much. She felt lucky that she could have his company before she died. She also felt lucky that he was even willing to pay for Leigh's surgery and raise Leigh.

Lawrence wanted to stay by Amelia's side all the time but Lillian's wounds were badly infected. She had a high fever and was in critical condition, so he had to go over there.

He told the doctor to take care of Amelia and went to the hospital Lillian stayed.

Lillian's condition was very bad, she was in the emergency room for nearly five hours and finally, she was out of danger.

Lawrence was worried about Amelia, so he absentmindedly comforted Lillian with several words and then rushed back.

Just as he was just about to enter Amelia's room, he heard the doctor talking on the phone from the hallway.

"Yes, this patient is so strange! Why does she insist on pretending to have advanced gastric cancer? It's the first time I've encountered such a strange patient!"
