A Love Trap

As soon as Ashley finished speaking, she heard Francis's voice.

Needless to say, she was stunned.

Ellie was pregnant?

Could it be true?

After pausing for a moment, Ashley was suddenly overwhelmed with joy.

Even over the phone, Francis could hear the excitement in her tone.

"Ellie's pregnant? Where is she now? I need to see her!"

She was even more excited than when she found out she, herself was pregnant.

Francis frowned upon hearing this. He quickly objected, "No, no, Ashley, you don't have to come. I promise you I'll take good care of Ellie. You're pregnant too so you shouldn't be going on long trips. We'll visit you soon."

If Ashley came over to the hospital, Francis was afraid that Andrew would beat him up.

He understood that Andrew valued Ashley the most.

To Andrew, Ashley was precious and unparalleled—not even his good friends could compare.

It was beyond doubt that Andrew treated them, his friends, differently.

Ashley was about eight months into her pregnancy. Andrew didn't even want to go to work anymore. He just wanted to stay at home with Ashley.

Francis wasn't going to let Ashley come to the hospital to see Ellie. If anything happened to her, he would be in big trouble.

"I'm fine. I need to see Ellie."

Ashley was a little worried about Ellie.

"No, Ashley, don't come. Just stay home. Ellie is fine. I have to go and take care of her now. Bye!"

With that, Francis hung up without even waiting for Ashley to respond.

Ashley put the phone aside and began anxiously pacing around the room.

"My lady, what is going on?"

Linda hurriedly approached her as soon as she came out of the kitchen and saw Ashley walking around the room.

"Linda, Ellie's pregnant!" Ashley said excitedly as she looked at Linda.

"Oh, are you talking about Miss Su?"

Linda was pretty familiar with Ellie since she often came to visit Ashley. Besides, she frequently heard her name from Ashley.

"Yes, that's her."

"That's great. I bet Miss Su must be very happy right now," Linda gushed.

"Oh, Linda, would you mind going to the hospital to check up on Ellie for me? I can't go there myself so I figured I'd ask you."

"Sure," Linda agreed without hesitation.
