A Love Trap

Chapter 878 Envy

Ashley's and Andrew's love seemed so holy and pure. It was just wonderful to see this amorous couple. The nurse didn't want to interrupt them so she held back.

The nurse had only stood there for a while. Seeing their happy faces, she left quietly, closing the door behind her.

The two lovers didn't notice the nurse's presence at all.

But after leaving the ward, the nurse couldn't help covering her face with her hands as her face blushed a faint red.

She couldn't help but scream inwardly at how deep the bonding between the two lovers were.

She sighed thinking about the ardent scene she had just seen, and couldn't help admiring their deep love and affection.

The nurse decided to share what she had just seen with her colleagues. Otherwise, only she would know about it. It took her some time, but she found all of them.

She always had a great urge to share with others.

Gossip spread fast wherever the couple went.

In a few minutes, the gossip had spread in the whole hospital like dandelion in the wind. Now everyone in the hospital knew that the love between the couple staying in the SVIP ward was enviable.

Meanwhile, back in the ward, Ashley caressed Andrew's hair and kept kissing him in between.

But suddenly, a few things came to her mind.

And it was specifically about Angelina.

Without a doubt, Ashley hated Angelina for what the latter did to her the previous night, and it was quite predictable.

But she was generous enough to forgive Angelina unconditionally, despite what she had done to her.

However, she was in a fix. What Angelina had done was related to her two babies.

What if Andrew didn't arrive in time last night, and what would have happened to Dany? Ashley couldn't even imagine it.

And what would have been the fate of the fetus in her belly if Andrew hadn't saved them in time?

Even though Angelina was driven out by the Gu Family, Ashley had no role in it and she was innocent.

Besides, Ashley believed that Angelina deserved to be treated that way.

The Gu Family treated Angelina exceptionally well, and she had been the young lady of the Gu Family for five years.

However, when she found out who the real young lady of the Gu Family was, Angelina didn't reconcile herself to accept the truth. She decided to destroy Ashley once and for all and then live her life as the young lady of the Gu Family. Did she really think she could continue her life as before only if she destroyed Ashley's life? That was just impossible.

Whether she was Jeremy's sister or not, Ashley believed that Angelina couldn't be forgiven even if this were to happen to someone else.

She also felt that she still hated Jeremy.

If Jeremy hadn't said those words to Angelina the other day, she wouldn't have known that Ashley was his sister. Then, she wouldn't have mistreated Dany.

Yet, this wasn't totally true.

From what Angelina had disclosed last night, she must have known about Ashley's true identity earlier than the Gu Family.

In fact, Ashley was still confused about how Angelina had known about her identity.

While Ashley was buried in the thought, the mobile phone on the bedside suddenly rang. It took her by surprise.

Looking at Andrew who was still sound asleep, Ashley picked up the phone and pressed the mute button subconsciously.

She frowned at the sight of the caller ID displayed on the phone.

The caller was none other than Jeremy, Ashley's older brother.

He seemed to need to talk to Andrew.

Ashley glanced at Andrew and found that he was still asleep. It was not until she confirmed that Andrew wasn't awakened by the call did she feel relieved to answer the phone.

"Andrew, where are you? Was Ashley kidnapped? How are you doing? Is Ashley alright?"

As soon as Ashley answered the phone, Jeremy's voice came on, asking all about whether Ashley was sick or hurt, and her present condition.

Unknowingly, Ashley was overwhelmed with complicated emotions when she heard Jeremy asking nonstop about her situation.

Just a moment before, she had been blaming Jeremy for what happened.

Angelina wouldn't have kidnapped her daughter and those unfortunate incidents wouldn't have happened last night if it hadn't been for Jeremy.

But judging from Jeremy's somewhat trembling voice over the phone, Ashley got a feeling that Jeremy cared much about her.

At that thought, she couldn't help but feel a lump of happiness in her throat.

Jeremy was her brother anyway.

Even if it was his fault, Angelina had known about Ashley's true identity earlier than him. Hence, for what had happened the previous day, it was inappropriate to put the blame squarely on Jeremy.

Ashley blinked her eyes, trying not to cry for being moved by Jeremy's significant concerns.

However, since Jeremy didn't hear any reply from Andrew for quite a long while, he guessed that Andrew must have been angry with him. Thus, when Ashley was about to speak, he further questioned, "Andrew, are you okay? Are you listening to me? What happened last night was totally out of my expectation. I didn't expect that Angelina would really try to harm Ashley. It's all my fault. I'll make it up to you.

Where is Ashley? Where is she now? Is she okay? Can you let me have a word with her?"

Jeremy knew that Andrew was quite possessive about Ashley.

This was something he had noticed even before he had known that Ashley was his sister.

Besides, he had grown up together with Andrew since childhood. How could Jeremy not know that Andrew was so possessive?

Furthermore, Jeremy didn't want Ashley to be hurt at all.

But last night, Ashley got into serious trouble because of him.

Before Ashley recognized him as her brother and returned to the Gu Family, something unimaginably terrible had happened to her.

Jeremy felt guilty for what had happened. He thought it was indirectly caused by him, and he felt responsible for it.

After Jeremy finished, Ashley maintained her silence for a while, thinking what to tell him. Then, she opened up. "This is Ashley."

On the other side, Jeremy was sitting in his office chair, waiting patiently for an answer from the other end of the line.

He was expecting Andrew, but when he heard Ashley's voice instead, he froze and didn't dare to move.

Just now, he had told Andrew that he wanted to know about Ashley's situation and wanted to have a talk with her.

But now that he was actually speaking to Ashley, even though it was just over the phone, Jeremy suddenly didn't know what to say.

He pursed his lips and whispered, "Ashley, are you alright now? I'm so sorry for everything. Last night, I didn't know that Angelina would kidnap Dany and lure you in. Were you hurt? Where are you now? Can I come and see you as your bro...?"

Jeremy wanted to say that he wished to meet Ashley as her brother, but was worried that she might not have accepted him. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Besides, after the unfortunate incidents last night, Jeremy believed that there must be still some wedge between Ashley and him.

Hence, he asked her questions with much caution.

Upon hearing Jeremy's cautious voice and tentative words, she had mixed feelings.

She briefly whispered in agreement and hung up the phone after sharing the hospital address with him.
