A Love Trap

Raymond tried to say something, but his throat went dry. He paused and then asked, "Are you sure it was Ashley who did this to you?"

Upon hearing this, Lena suddenly pushed him away with all her strength. She looked at him like he was a stranger. What Lena said next really made Raymond feel ashamed of himself.

She looked at him with a smile that was both bitter and sad. "Raymond, you still don't believe me. I know you always have a place for Ashley in your heart. I never complained about it. But, how could you doubt me on this? Do you really think I would use the death of my baby to frame her?"

Tears were rolling down her cheeks, but she didn't wipe them. It was not difficult for Raymond to detect the note of bitterness in her voice. She continued, "There were only two of us in the bathroom. If it was not Ashley, who else do you think did it? Me?"

She closed her eyes, and the tears in her eyes spilled out. Clutching her chest, she said, "Raymond, how could you do this to me?"

Raymond panicked. He quickly said, "No, no, that's not what I meant. Lena, please hear me out! I can explain."

She opened her eyes and looked at him. Then she slowly closed them and said, "Raymond, I knew you never liked me. I also knew you loved my sister all along. But I really believed what you said in the restaurant. I really believed that you would give me a future. I wanted to give you a surprise too! But I never thought...I never thought..."

Lena couldn't continue her sentence. She burst into tears and her face turned pale.

Seeing her pale face, he suddenly remembered what the doctor had told him. He advised Raymond to keep her calm and allow her to rest.

Raymond's guilt was ingrained in his soul. He hated himself for thinking she would kill her own baby. He should have known better, given how much Lena loved him.

He held her in his arms and tried to comfort her.

Meanwhile, Andrew carried Ashley to the hospital. He got terrified when she passed out in front of him.

"How is she?" he inquired.

"Mr. Lu, she is fine. She just has had a slight concussion. Don't let her do any strenuous exercise. She will be fine; she just needs some rest," the doctor advised.

"Okay. Thank you! Please give us some time alone," Andrew requested.

Ashley was lying in the hospital bed. Seeing her pale face and closed eyes, he clenched his fists. A dangerous expression took over his face.
