Love in Prime Years

Chapter 56 Leigh Died

Worrying about Amelia’s condition, Sapphire wanted to take the day off and stay in Willow Alley to

spend time with her.

But Serena was constantly pestering at her and tracked her down first thing in the morning. Serena

then yelled and hit Sapphire to force her to go to work.

Sapphire didn’t want the already depressed Amelia to be more upset because of Serena, so she chose

to go to work.

Lillian found Amelia’s apartment holding a box just after Sapphire left.

Serena dragged Sapphire away hurriedly just now and was really not kind enough to close Amelia’s

door, so Lillian just entered the apartment directly.

Amelia’s apartment in Willow Alley was a double-storey. By the time Lillian got in the door, she wasn’t

downstairs but in Leigh’s room upstairs.

Lillian saw Amelia who was huddling herself in the corner and looked miserable as soon as she opened

the door.

The cut in Amelia’s forehead had been simply dealt with by Serena, but she still got patches of blood

on her clothes and hadn’t changed yet. She looked absolutely miserable and terrible at this point.

Looking at Amelia, the corner of Lillian’s mouth quirked up subconsciously.

But thinking about why she was here today, Lillian still acted like she was extremely sad.

Holding the box in her hand tightly, Lillian walked elegantly in high heels.

“Amelia, what on earth happened to you?”

Lillian then waltzed to Amelia and looked at her condescendingly like she was just a petty ant.

“My dear sister, I know that you’re depressed because Leigh had that accident, but you’ve got to take

care of yourself. How can you live after if you wrecked your body now? Both Lawrence and I will feel

sorry for you!”

Amelia felt terrible and just wanted to ignore Lillian, so she just said to her coldly, “Lillian, get the fuck

out. You’re not welcomed here!”

“Don’t welcome me, huh?” Lillian’s voice didn’t sound angry but was actually pretty sweet. “My dear

sister, I can understand that you don’t welcome me, but don’t you want to welcome your Leigh home?”

Amelia immediately sensed that Lillian was suggesting something else. Right when she wanted to

question her, Lillian handed her the box that she was carrying.

“My dear sister, I brought Leigh back!”

Hearing Lillian’s words, Amelia immediately grabbed the box but found that it was dreadfully light.

That box was not that small, but if Leigh was in it, it can’t be that light like a piece of paper.

Lillian was messing with her!

Lillian seemed to have figured out what Amelia was thinking and sneered, “Amelia, are you thinking

that this box is too small for Leigh and I’m messing with you?”

“Amelia, I’m not joking. Your Leigh is really in this box. But... it’s not carrying his body nor his ashes, but

his...”

While saying this, Lillian had already opened the box. It turned out that the box was filled with pieces of

blood-covered broken fabrics.

Amelia can easily recognize that fabric which was in Leigh’s clothes when he was thrown down the cliff.

Amelia wanted to touch those fabrics and feel Leigh again, but she just can’t even lift them no matter

how hard she tried.

Lillian was still continuing, “Amelia, do you know why can I just bring you these broken fabrics, not

Leigh’s body or ashes?”

“Well, because he was already eaten alive by some wild beasts down the cliff. Lawrence was afraid

that you might faint seeing his bloody flesh, so he just asked me to give you these fabrics.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Lillian, what are you talking about?” Amelia suddenly looked up shockingly and just stared at Lillian

blankly.

Though she already knew that there was no way that Leigh could survive falling down that cliff, it was

another thing to really hear his death.”

She was more than heartbroken at this point.

“I said...”

Thinking how depressed Lawrence was when she got down the cliff by the helicopter, Lillian can’t hold

her hatred back anymore.

“I said that your Leigh was already dead and was torn apart by the beasts down the cliff. You can’t even

see his intact body.”

“Those fabrics were filled with his blood. He won’t be back! Never!”

“Amelia, it must be a terrible feeling to be eaten alive by a beast, right? Can you even imagine how hurt

and desperate Leigh would be when he was eaten bit by bit if he was still conscious?”

“Did one beast eat Leigh or a pack of them? Did they eat his hand first or his feet? Or maybe his

head?”

Amelia suddenly can’t hold back anymore and just grabbed the glass cup on the desk and threw it on

Lillian.

“Lillian, get the fuck out!”

The glass didn’t hit Lillian but fell down on the ground which sent out a clear sound.

Looking at the broken glasses on the ground, Lillian started laughing wildly.

She stepped forward and sneered, “My dear sister, do remember to notify me of Leigh’s funeral. After

all, I’m his auntie.”

“Get out!”

Amelia then violently threw the chair next to her to Lillian.

Lillian didn’t dodge that chair successfully this time. It hit her directly. Sure it was painful, but Lillian

didn’t really care because she was beyond satisfied inside.

She came here today to annoy Amelia and already got what she wanted. There was no point to stay

here longer.

She retracted her look from those broken fabrics slowly and was glad that bastard was finally dead.

Lillian then let out a wild laugh and left the Willow Alley happily.

After Lillian left, Amelia can’t seem to suppress her inner pain anymore.

She held the box in her hand tightly and clutched at those fabrics in a while.

Those fabrics seemed to still have remnants of Leigh’s temperature. She held those fabrics to her heart

and burst into tears.

“Leigh... my baby Leigh...”

After Leigh was thrown off the cliff, Amelia’s condition got worse, but she still hung on and held a

simple funeral for Leigh.

She bought a vacant lot next to Leigh’s tomb, so that when she died one day, she can sleep next to

Leigh.

After the funeral, Amelia went back to Willow Alley to organize Leigh’s things so that she can bring

those items with her when she was buried one day.

When Amelia was sorting out Leigh’s belongings, she found an exquisite black box.
