A Love Trap

Johnny nodded calmly, watching Francis leave.

Even though he was Andrew's close friend and private doctor, Francis always spoke rudely to him.

Despite this, he cared deeply about Andrew. When Andrew got into trouble, he was more worried than anyone else.

Ashley and Andrew were alone in the office after Francis left.

Andrew applied the ointment on Ashley's thigh. She couldn't help but pull back at his touch.

Andrew's hand was cool, like a piece of jade, and his fingers were fair and slender. However, there were some calluses on his fingers, which might be a result of his frequent use of pens.

As he applied the ointment on Ashley's thigh, he inevitably touched her smooth and white skin. The calluses on his fingers lightly pricked her skin.

Only a small area of her skin was scalded. Ashley thought he would finish applying the ointment quickly so she just waited quietly.

But Andrew did it so slowly and carefully. Half squatting, he gently rubbed her scalded skin, as if it was a very precious, delicate thing.

Ashley was little nervous and could feel her heart thumping in her chest.

Her face was flushed in embarrassment. She looked away quickly.

She even ignored the slight itching on her thigh.

"It's okay." It was a long time before Andrew stood up.

His suit looked a bit rumpled; perhaps from carrying her in his arms earlier.

Ashley looked at her dress and frowned. She felt embarrassed about her appearance, especially when she saw the stain on the hem of her dress.

She struggled to stand up by supporting her hands on the sofa. She wanted to go into the lounge to change into a clean dress, but no sooner had she stood up than Andrew held her.
