A Love Trap

Chapter 876 A Stomachache

Andrew swiftly got out of the car and carried Ashley to the back seat.

He leaned closer to her, trying to hear what she was mumbling.

"Andrew, Andrew..."

She kept calling his name.

The moment he held her in his arms, she felt comfortable and relaxed, so she couldn't help but pull him closer.

And then she bit him.

Fury burned in Andrew's eyes as he looked at her.

But he was very gentle to her, and treated her like a piece of treasure.

From time to time, there were some noises that came out from the car.

In the middle of the forest, a lone car shook and trembled quietly. It didn't stop until late in the night.

When Ashley woke up the next morning, she felt sore all over her body.

She felt as if she got crushed by a tank countless times. The pain she felt was a little unbearable, especially in her lower parts.

It felt like she was being held in a man's arms. True enough, as soon as Ashley opened her eyes, she saw a muscular chest, and could feel its warmth.

Ashley blinked and tried to recollect the events of the previous night and the three disgusting men. She was shell-shocked.

She struggled to stand up.

"It's okay. Don't move."

Ashley wasn't completely relieved until she heard a familiar voice, which was deep, charming and assuring.

The smell of tobacco on Andrew was so familiar to her that she couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was him, and nothing happened between her and the thugs.

As soon as she calmed down, Ashley noticed a strange smell in the car and she again felt the soreness and pain in her body. All of these reminded her what had happened the previous night.

It must have been due to some psychological effect, but Ashley suddenly felt a little pain in her stomach. She couldn't help but frown in pain.

"What's wrong?" asked Andrew. Even the slightest change in her wouldn't go unnoticed as he looked at her with concern.

"My stomach hurts," Ashley said with a weak voice.

Her lips had become pale.

Andrew didn't think twice. He removed his suit jacket and put it on her.

"I'll take you to the hospital right away."

Andrew rang Johnny up and told him to make arrangements at the hospital.

Then he started the car.

Curling up in the back seat, Ashley pressed her hands on her belly. It helped as she didn't feel the pain as much as before.

Noticing that they were traveling at a high speed, Ashley couldn't help saying, "Andrew, I'm fine. You don't have to drive so fast."

Although he assured her that he would slow down, he still drove fast.

He had seen how pale Ashley was just now.

Knowing that Ashley had been drugged, her condition scared Andrew to the death.

She frowned with discomfort and said, "Andrew, please slow down."

Noticing that Ashley was feeling uncomfortable, Andrew slowed down the car immediately. "Are you feeling sick again?"

"Yes, please slow down."

"Alright."

Andrew slowed down the car further. He cared so much about her and didn't want to aggravate her discomfort. After some time, Ashley fell asleep.

Soon, they arrived at the hospital.

Huddled in the back seat, Ashley's face was ghostly pale.

Without any delay, Andrew got out of the car and gently lifted her in his arms and out of the car.

By then, Johnny also arrived at the hospital.

As Andrew carried Ashley into the emergency room, several bodyguards assisted them as went in.

In the emergency room, Andrew carefully lay Ashley on the bed and soon a doctor arrived to check on her.

Considering that Andrew didn't like other men around Ashley, Johnny arranged for a female doctor for her. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

The doctor came in and saw Ashley lying on the bed. Then she looked at Andrew, who stood next to her.

Johnny and the bodyguards did not go in and left.

"Even if you don't like her, you shouldn't have treated her like this. She is a woman after all."

The lady doctor showed displeasure when she saw the evident marks and scratches on Ashley's body, which revealed what had happened to her.

Although the doctor didn't care about the gossip around the richest families, she still felt sorry for Ashley and couldn't help but stand up for her.

"Please, help her. She said she was having a stomachache."

Andrew didn't make any attempt to defend himself.

Instead, he asked the doctor to treat Ashley as soon as possible.

The doctor got started and examined her carefully. Although her movements was gentle, Ashley was still awakened.

The white surroundings and the smell of disinfectant in the hospital made her feel uncomfortable as well.

'Why am I here?' Ashley frowned.

Seeing her patient had woken up, the doctor asked her some questions.

Ashley was about to answer, but she felt a sudden pain shoot up in her stomach.

"My belly aches."

Andrew hurried over to Ashley and held her arm. "What wrong?" he asked.

Then he looked at the doctor gloomily.

"Well, we still need further examination."

Ashley was taken to another ward for a series of physical examinations.

Andrew followed her and sat beside her.

The doctor had no choice but to allow him in, because they couldn't offend Andrew. She decided just to ignore him.

The doctor was mildly shocked when she was told who Andrew was.

She felt she was too bold to have said something like that to the CEO of the powerful Lu Group.

As she observed Andrew's facial expression, she understood that he must have cherished Ashley very much.

When she saw the bruises on Ashley's body, her first thought was that Andrew was behind it.

Finally, after a series of examinations, Ashley's test results were out.
