Love in Prime Years

Chapter 44 Kill Leigh!

Amelia was not in a coma for a long time. When she woke up, it was still a silent and dark night.

There were no stars in the night sky today. Even the flashing neon lights on the road outside were kind

of desolate and solitary.

Amelia rubbed her neck subconsciously. When she opened her eyes, she realized a very serious thing,

Leigh was missing!

There were three beds in this ward, but the patients in the other two beds were discharged yesterday,

leaving only Leigh. But now the ward was empty, and there was no one else but Amelia.

“Leigh!” Amelia rushed to the bathroom, but Leigh was not there.

There was a bad feeling in Amelia’s heart, which made she feel a pain in her heart. It was so painful

that she had to open her mouth to get more air.

Amelia grabbed her chest hard and forced herself not to weep. She kept telling herself not to be

panicked, and that maybe Leigh just went for a walk outside to get some air.

But she was clear that there was a great chance Leigh was in danger.

Leigh was a good boy. He could not wander around at night. Besides, she was attacked by someone

and was in a coma, so it was obvious that the attacker took Leigh away!

Amelia ran back and forth in the corridor, but she didn’t find Leigh at all.

Thinking that there were cameras in the hospital, she went to the nurse on duty without delay and

asked to see the video. But unfortunately, she found that the line of the hospital monitoring system was Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

broken tonight, so she could not find out who took Leigh from the hospital at all.

Amelia was not silly, and realized that the malfunction of the monitoring system in the hospital was not

a coincidence but a deliberate action. The intention of it was to take Leigh away without attracting

others’ attention!

But she didn’t know why anyone would do this to Leigh, who was so cute and never hurt anyone.

Amelia thought she should call the police! Amelia took out her cell phone trembling. As soon as she

was about to call the police, her phone rang.

Seeing that it was an unknown number, Amelia picked it up without hesitation.

“Amelia.” A voice of a strange man came from the phone. The man’s voice was rough and hoarse,

which sounded like he bad intentions.

“Are you the one who take away Leigh? Where’s Leigh now? Bring him back to me!”

“Yes, I have him.” The man smiled wickedly, “But, It’s not easy for you to ask me to bring him back!

Since I have taken so many efforts to catch him, how could I let him go before I get some benefits?”

"What do you want?" Amelia really hated to be dominated by others, but she had to compromise

considering the safety of Leigh, “Just say it! What do you want? I’ll give you no matter what you want,

only if you don’t hurt Leigh!”

“Since you’re so up-front, I’ll say it out! I want ten million Dollars!”

The man paused, and then he threatened, “Give ten million Dollars to me before the evening of the day

after tomorrow, or just collect your son’s body!”

“Oh, of course, you can call the police. But if you do it, I’ll kill your son immediately!”

Gave the man ten million Dollars by the evening of the day after tomorrow...

Amelia covered her mouth and sobbed. How could she get so much money in such a short time?

The man seemed to see through Amelia, and then he warned, “Amelia, you’d better raise ten million

dollars as soon as possible. If you are late, you’ll find some body parts are missing in your son!”

“What do you mean?” Amelia held the phone tightly and asked in a trembling voice.

“Don’t you know what I mean?” The man sneered, “When you raise enough money before eight o’clock

the day after tomorrow, just call me and I will send you the address. But if you can’t raise enough

money...”

“Every hour you are late, I’ll cut something off your son! Well, it’s enough to cut his ten fingers and ten

toes, as well as his hands and feet in twenty-four hours!”

"If you haven't sent the money by then, your son still has eyes, nose and ears, right? I’ll play with him...

slowly!”

Amelia was trembling when she heard his words. Fearing that the man would heart Leigh, she said in a

hurry, “I’ll raise the money! I’ll try my best! Don’t hurt Leigh! Please!”

The man did not respond. He cracked a grim smile and hung up.

Finishing the call, Amelia lost all her strength immediately. She fell to the ground, staring at her left

hand with a missing pink finger as if she was possessed.

She could not forget the great pain when they cut off her fingers several days before. Even she could

not bear such kind of pain, how could Leigh, who was so young and weak bear it?

No! She could not let Leigh bear such pain! She would protect Leigh from it at any cost!

It was so difficult for her to raise ten million Dollars in less than two days, but she would go out of her

way to protect her son no matter how hard it was!

Arthur helped her a lot recently, so Amelia felt ashamed to ask him for help again. But she was clear

that he was the only one who had the ability and willing to lend her money at this time.

She had Arthur’s phone number. She checked out his phone number in a hurry called him. But she just

heard a mechanical female voice from the phone after making several phone calls.

Sorry, the number you dialled had been turned off.

Well, Arthur was anxious to go abroad for business. He should be on the plane now. But Amelia was

afraid that it was not easy for her to contact him even after he went off the plane, since there was a

long distance between them.

She had to go to Lawrence for help again. Amelia bit her lower lip hard, holding back the humiliation

and bitterness in her heart, and then she called Lawrence.

The phone call was answered after a long time, then Lawrence’s unmindful and disgusted voice

sounded from the phone, “Amelia, what do you want to do?”

“Lawrence, Leigh is kidnapped...”

“Kidnapping? Heh!” Lawrence sneered, “Then the kidnapper asked you to take the money to save him?

And you want to borrow money from me now?”

Without letting Amelia speak, Lawrence said in a voice, “Amelia, you should not tell such lies to get

money!”

“Lawrence, I’m not lying. Leigh was really kidnapped! The kidnappers said they want ten million

Dollars. If I can’t send them the money by eight o’clock tomorrow night, they will...”

With a lump in her throat, Amelia continued by all her strength, “They will cut off one of his fingers

every hour if I am late! Lawrence, would you please save Leigh?”
