A Love Trap

Seeing Ashley close the door, Raymond walked over and asked, "How was it?"

The sound-proofing in the room was really good so Lena wasn't afraid of anyone overhearing her conversation with Ashley. Plus, Raymond would never eavesdrop on them.

Seeing how worried he was, Ashley replied, "Why don't you go inside and find out yourself?"

Dropping the last word, Ashley walked away without giving him the chance to say anything else.

She knew that no matter what she said, he would not believe her. Lena's tears had already convinced him to not trust Ashley.

She rolled her eyes at his stupidity.

Watching Ashley leave, he frowned. Then, he walked into the room.

He was stunned by Lena's appearance at the moment he walked in.

The top half of her body was hanging on the side of the bed. Her face was almost as pale as the hospital's wall. Her eyes lost their light. She looked like a body without a soul inside.

Raymond's heart tightened. He went over to her and asked gently, "Lena, what's wrong? You are scaring me!"

Lena turned her eyes to the direction of the voice. Seeing Raymond, she flung herself into his arms and called out his name. "Raymond!" she wailed.

He held her in his arms and asked, "What's wrong? Don't worry. You can tell me anything. Did Ashley say something to hurt your feelings?"

She looked at Raymond tearfully and replied, "She...she asked me to stay away from her business. I was just trying to help. I can't watch her reputation get ruined like that. But, she..."

Lena cried out loud for a while. Then she sobbed, "She also said that my baby didn't deserve to be in this world. It was its own fault... Raymond..."

Lena's crying made Raymond's heart ache.

He patted her back and tried his best to comfort her. After a while, Lena finally fell asleep in his arms.
