Love in Prime Years

Arthur’s Enemy

Arthur was really afraid of Lawrence. In his memory, Lawrence could defeat him every time.

But no matter how much he feared him before, he couldn't lose his masculinity in front of the girl he

liked.

He shouted at Lawrence angrily, "Lawrence, you are crazy! Didn't you hear me singing? You made

such a loud noise. How could she listen to me singing?"

Lawrence said nothing, and just stood up from the sofa indifferently.

Lillian was afraid that he would snatch Amelia from Arthur, and she would lose face, so she clasped his

hand tightly, whispering, "Lawrence, do you still care about Amelia? Have you forgotten how our

children died? Lawrence, you make me so sad. "

"Lillian, I'm sorry." Lawrence sat down on the sofa, and did not look at Amelia and Arthur again.

Lillian breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Lawrence no longer did anything out of line. But her hatred

for Amelia grew stronger. She did not expect that Amelia not only made Lawrence obsessed with her,

but also got Arthur's favour!

Even if Arthur thought Lillian was his elder sister, his attitude towards her was always lukewarm. But he

couldn't help but fall in love with Amelia.

Was it true that children born to the same mother had mutual affinity? No, she would never let Amelia

get any reliance!

She grinded her teeth secretly, pulled out her voice and said, "Arthur, do you know who hurt our

mother?"

"Who?" Arthur frowned, and he really didn't know who harmed his favourite mother. He asked Dougie,

but he kept silent. He was very anxious and didn't get any information at all. He didn't expect Lillian to

know it.

"Lillian, tell me quickly! If I know who hurt Mom, I must kill her!"

"It was Amelia, my adoptive mother's biological daughter, who hurt our mother! She is also the

'Beautiful girl' you are talking about!" Lillian's sharp gaze fell on Amelia's face, "Sister, you have killed

my child. Why did you still hurt my mother?"

"How can that be..."Arthur murmured in disbelief. He didn't expect that the woman he liked for the first

time was his sworn enemy!

"Beautiful girl..." Arthur changed his words, "Amelia, my mother was amiable and kind. Why did you

harm her so much?"

"I didn't harm Mrs Palmer!" Amelia didn't want to be misunderstood, and she hurriedly defended

herself, "Arthur, I know even if I explain, you may not believe me. But I still want to tell you that Mrs

Palmer's injury has nothing to do with me!"

"When I went to the ward that day, Mrs Palmer was already seriously injured. I don't know why

everyone thought I hurt her!"

"I respected Mrs Palmer very much since I was a kid. I was bullied by my classmates when I was

young and I was muddy, and it was Mrs Palmer who picked me up. She is the idol of my life. Even if I

hurt myself, I won't hurt her!

"Arthur, there is no camera in the ward. I cannot point out the murderer to prove my innocence. If you

don't believe me, I won't force you."

Amelia really didn't dare to expect Arthur to believe her. She had loved Lawrence for so many years,

but he didn't believe her. How could a stranger believe her at their first meet?

He would only regard her as the murderer of Dorothy and avenge his beloved mother!

"Amelia, I believe you." Arthur stared at Amelia's eyes for a long time before speaking slowly, "I believe

what you said in my eyes and my heart even more."

If Amelia really hurt his mother, his father would have killed her a thousand times. How could she be

able to live safe and sound till now? There must be some hidden secrets!

"Beautiful girl, with Auntie Heathway's help, my mother will wake up soon. When she wakes up,

everything will come to light. After finding out the real murderer, you will be innocent!"

"Arthur..." Amelia really didn't want to cry in front of so many people. But today Arthur gave her too

much gentleness, and she couldn't restrain her tears.

She threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly, "Arthur, thank you!"

Amelia had many words to say to Arthur, but in the end, she only said this sentence.

Thank you!

She really appreciated his trust. He made her feel that this world didn't fail to distinguish right from

wrong.

She thought this world was really amazing. She met Arthur for the first time, but she had an

unspeakable attachment to him. There were no romantic feelings, but a feeling more than affection.

She couldn't help but want to get close to him.

"Silly girl, why are you crying? It's not beautiful to mess up your makeup!" Arthur grabbed Amelia's

hand, "Come on, I'll take you to wash your face. There are nasal mucus and tears on your face, and it's

so ugly!"

Girls love to be praised, but Arthur said she was ugly, and Amelia was not angry at all. On the contrary,

she felt very warm.

She was so touched that she didn't come back to her senses until Arthur took her to the bathroom.

She hurriedly took out her hand, "Arthur, I can go to the bathroom by myself."

"Ok, I will wait for you here." When he arrived at the door of the bathroom, Arthur realized that he would

be too perverted if he went to the women's bathroom with her. He didn't want to be treated as a pervert!

As soon as he turned around, he noticed obvious blood stains on Amelia's white gloves. He quickly

grabbed her hand, "Silly girl, what happened to your hand?"

Amelia didn't expect Arthur to notice the blood that just oozed from her gloves, and she hurriedly hid

her hands behind her, "Nothing serious, I just accidentally broke the skin."

Obviously, Arthur didn't believe her. He grabbed her hand without saying anything, and tore off her

gloves.

The wound on her severed finger had become pus and stuck to her glove. Pulling it off sharply made

her so painful that she couldn't control her trembling lips. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"Silly girl..."

When he saw the scar on Amelia's hand clearly, Arthur's eyes blushed. He grabbed her wrist with all

his strength, "Tell me, who did this?"

"I accidentally hurt myself." Amelia dropped her eyelids and whispered.

Although it was Lillian and Madeleine who instigated her, it was Rufus who did it after all. She didn't

want to do anything against her friend.

"How could you be so careless? Let's go to the hospital! "

Amelia didn't want to go to the hospital because it would cost money. Arthur had a good temper, but he

was very stubborn. She couldn't hold him back, so she went to the hospital with him.

Arthur insisted that Amelia should be hospitalized, and it took a lot of efforts for her to change his mind.

But he asked her to stay in the hospital for observation overnight.

Amelia was reluctant to spend money on herself. Early the next morning, she asked to be discharged

from the hospital. Arthur had no choice but to take her home.

As soon as she went upstairs, Amelia saw Lawrence standing in front of her small apartment with red

eyes.
