Love in Prime Years

Chapter 34 Crazy for Amelia

Lillian didn’t want to apologize to Amelia. Apologizing to her would prove she admitted she was the

villain. But at this time, Arthur’s expression was too terrifying, and she was scared, especially when she

thought of his words “You will be at your own risk”, she panicked even more.

Lillian was a person who could take temporary setbacks. She gritted her teeth secretly but decided to

lower her head for now.

“Amelia, I’m sorry. I apologize to you for what happened just now.” After saying this, Lillian turned and

ran to the side. She cried and made a call to Lawrence, telling him her grievances.

Amelia knew Lillian was reluctant to admit she was wrong. However, she had to say that seeing her

deflated, she felt quite happy in her heart.

“Amelia, is your wound fine? No! We must go to the hospital!”

Arthur was still worried about the wound on Amelia’s hand. Originally, he wanted to untie the bandage

on her hand and check it carefully, but he was afraid that his clumsy hands would hurt her, so he

decided to leave it to the doctor.

“Arthur, I’m really fine. I know my own body better than anyone else. Thank you for your help today.

You are a good man.”

Hearing Amelia’s compliment, Arthur was blushed for the first time. He scratched his head

uncomfortably, and said, “Amelia, you don’t have to thank me. I won’t allow others to bully you.”

Amelia felt warm. Arthur’s kindness to her indeed made her feel warm in her heart. If she was not sick

and still had a lot of time, she may start a new relationship with him. But now, as she was going to die

soon, she didn’t need to give him any unnecessary expectations.

She cleared her throat and planned to make it clear to Arthur. But before she could say anything, the

director assistant ran over fiercely.

“Director Campbell, something is wrong. The stand-in we found sprained her ankle. How should we

shoot it today?

“What? Sprained her ankle? Why did she sprain her ankle today?”

Director Campbell was so agitated that he was like an ant on a hot pan. And he was about to tear out

the three remaining hairs on his forehead.

“The scene and the lights are ready. We are just waiting for her! But now she sprained her ankle, and

we can’t shoot at all! Does she know how much money will be wasted for such a delay?”

Director Campbell kept scratching the three hairs on his forehead, “Even if we look for another dancer,

how can we find a suitable one in such a short time?”

When Amelia was chatting with the old sister who introduced her, she heard her talking about this

scene.

This scene was the end of this play.

The heroine was Eli who descended to the mortal world. She fell in love with the hero of this play, the

general who defended his motherland.

The army led by the general fell into the enemy’s trap and was surrounded. At such a critical moment,

Eli came through the bloody sea of the corpse mountain and exhausted thousands of years’ cultivation

to rescue the general.

After Eli rescued the general, he led the army to make a comeback and behead all the enemies. When

the general returned home in triumph, Eli was about to die.

Before evaporating into a mist, Eli danced for the general under a peach tree. The scene was so

beautiful and striking that the general couldn’t forget it when he was old.

Amelia was not an actress. She knew she had no acting skills, but she was good at dancing.

She was not clever. Her academic performance was a mess, but she was a natural dancer. The dance

teacher had praised her and said that her prospect was beyond measure.

She didn’t accomplish much, but it was not difficult for her to act as a stand-in. The point was she heard

that the salary of a stand-in was not low.

“Director Campbell, how about letting me act as a stand-in for Lillian?” Amelia pondered for a moment

and said to Director Campbell.

“What? You?”

Amelia nodded vigorously, “Director Campbell, I have learned dance, so I should be fine to be a stand-

in.”

Director Campbell was skeptical of Amelia’s words. After all, if a beautiful girl danced well and had an

influential supporter, she could just enter the entertainment circle directly instead of being an extra!

But now the crew was in urgent need of a stand-in. He couldn’t think too much. Creating a beautiful

forest of peach trees in the winter would cost hundreds of thousand dollars a day. His crew couldn’t

afford it.

He patted Amelia on the shoulder, “Okay! If you can dance well, I will pay you 10,000 dollars!” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Amelia’s eyes were bright. She thought 2000 dollars was enough and didn’t expect that it would be

10,000 dollars. It was indeed a surprise.

Director Campbell decided to use Amelia and immediately asked the staff to take her to put on makeup

and change clothes.

When Amelia passed by Lillian, she was still talking to Lawrence on the phone, with tears hanging on

her face, “Lawrence, I’m so sad. I don’t know how I offended my sister. I’m kind to her in every way, but

she always hurts me.”

“She even instigated my brother to help her bully me. Today, my brother slapped me in front of so many

people in the crew. He even asked me to apologize to her. Lawrence, I don’t understand why she

wanted to bully me like that. Woo Woo...”

Lillian’s fake cry made Amelia feel nauseous. Fortunately, she was taken to the dressing room soon

without being nauseated by her.

Although she was just a stand-in, it was the highlight after all, and the makeup artist took special care

of her makeup.

Looking at the girl with bright eyes and white teeth in the mirror, Amelia couldn’t even recognize herself.

More than an hour has passed since she finished putting on makeup and changing clothes.

It was a costume play. Amelia had to dance while waving long sleeves, so she didn’t have to worry that

her severed finger would affect the perception.

After she was ready, she was taken to the forest of peach trees arranged overnight by the crew.

Amelia was a little nervous because she hadn’t danced for a long time. Seeing Arthur clenching his fist

to cheer her up, she suddenly became less nervous.

She closed her eyes, thinking about this beautiful and sad love story, and she finally got better.

Under the peach tree, Eli came slowly in her scarlet dress. She danced with fluttering sleeves,

accompanied by peach blossoms falling. Her beautiful face covered by the long sleeves was better

than the scorching peach blossom.

Eli was a sprite condensed from the earth’s aura. She was not as cautious as a worldly woman. Her

dancing clothes showed her slender waist. She danced softly, and the silver bell hanging on her waist

made a ringing sound, which was unsurpassed in elegance.

When Lawrence came to pick up Lillian, he happened to see the scene. The flying peach blossoms

were dazzling, but all the beauties of this world became dimmed when the woman lowered her head

and smiled. For an instant, the whole universe seemed to be turned into nothingness, leaving only the

beautiful appearance of the woman.

Her exceeding beauty made people enchanted.

After he was briefly surprised, he became inexpressibly angry. Was this woman trying to seduce

someone by flaunting herself in front of so many people?

As soon as he turned his face, he saw Arthur obsessed with her. Especially when he saw Arthur get a

bleeding nose, Lawrence was drastically furious.
