A Love Trap novel Chapter 310

Just thinking about it, Peggy furrowed her brows, feeling annoyed.

Lena frowned and said, "Mom, I think it might be a good idea for you to talk about it with Dad. If he finds out on his own, he will be very upset. It might not be very good for you."

Peggy didn't take Lena's suggestion too seriously. "Okay, fine. I'll find the time to tell your father. Don't worry about me. Right now, you need to concentrate on getting better. I'm going to be okay."

Seeing Peggy's attitude, Lena couldn't do anything about it. It was evident that Peggy didn't plan on listening to her.

However, if Lena's plan worked, everyone would think that Ashley was a cruel and jealous woman who had heartlessly killed her sister's baby. Then Lena's father would kick Ashley out of the family, and Andrew would leave her too. In such a case, Peggy would be fine.

When the time came, Ashley would lose everything. Then, Lena would finally replace her as the wife of the Lu Group's CEO.

After Peggy left, Lena dropped the act of faking a weak and poor person. The audience had gone. So there was no need for her to act in such a way.

Outside the room, Raymond was alone with Cora.

Cora asked, "Raymond, can you tell me what is going on? How did Lena lose the baby? And what does Ashley have to do with it? Please don't tell me that you're still seeing her."

Even though Cora loved and cared about Raymond, she wasn't going to spoil him. Cora wouldn't allow Raymond to have anything to do with Ashley.

Raymond looked at Cora hopelessly and said, "Mother! I'm not! I haven't talked to her for a while now. I let her go a long time ago, and I've already decided to be with Lena."

"Okay, I believe you. So, what happened today?" said Cora.

Raymond had no choice but to tell his mother what he knew. When he spoke about how Lena lost the baby, he hesitated.

Although he believed what Lena said, he still found it hard to believe that Ashley could do such a thing to Lena.

He knew Ashley very well. Raymond believed that Ashley was a woman of the highest integrity. But he also believed that Lena wouldn't make up such a story.

Raymond was perplexed and didn't know what to say.

Raymond's suddenly pausing on the most important information of what happened, made Cora suspicious. She saw the complex expression on his face and knew immediately what was on his mind.

No one knew a son better than his mother.

Cora decided to light a direction for him. "Lena is your fiancee now! She just lost her baby and she is lying in a hospital bed. What are you thinking about right now? Are you still thinking about Ashley?"

Cora stopped and regarded her son. Seeing that he was still struggling, she continued, "You still don't know your position! You are Lena's fiance! Your fiancee is in the hospital, but you're still thinking about another woman!"

Raymond closed his eyes. A series of horrifying images came to him.

It started with the image of Lena lying on the floor and holding her stomach, feeling hopeless and scared. Her legs were covered in blood. Then, Ashley was walking towards her step by step. She was saying something, but Raymond couldn't hear it.

Raymond finally replied to Cora, "The doctor said that the reason why Lena lost the baby was mainly due to an external force. At that time, there were only Ashley and Lena in the bathroom."

Cora gasped and conducted, "So, was Ashley the one who caused Lena's miscarriage?"

She thought for a moment. Then, Cora nodded and sneered, "Humph! I knew she was evil like a snake. I'm glad that you left her, or she might have already eaten you alive!

The Mu family even graciously adopted her. Lena always treated her as a sister. Poor Lena always thought about Ashley's well-being, but Ashley never did the same for her. She couldn't even leave her unborn child alone."

The more Cora talked about it, the angrier she got. "This isn't over yet! I can't just let it go! She murdered my grandchild. There is no way for me to let her live as though nothing happened. She needs to pay for what she did!"

Raymond was shocked to see the rage in his mother's eyes. He asked, "Mother! What are you going to do?"

Cora glanced at him and said, "I am going to sue her!"

Peggy had just stepped out of Lena's ward at that moment, and she overheard Cora's last words. She walked over to her immediately and agreed. "That's right, Mrs. Luo. The law should punish evil people like Ashley. We should take her to court. How could she lay a hand on a pregnant woman? What a monster!"

Hearing what they said, Raymond wanted to speak for Ashley. However, he couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, and it was his baby that they had lost.

Eventually, Raymond didn't say a word.

Ashley had a slight concussion. So Andrew decided that it was best for her to stay in the hospital for a little longer. Just in case something unexpected occurred.

However, Ashley wasn't very happy about his decision. She hated hospitals and didn't want to stay.

The strong smell of disinfectant bothered her. This was the second time that she had to stay in the hospital within a short period. Ashley couldn't believe her rotten luck.

She pleaded, "Can we please go home? I'm really okay now. Please let me go home!" Apart from the slight headache, Ashley didn't feel bad at all. She could deal with the headache.

It was just a slight concussion. As long as she didn't over-exert herself, Ashley believed that she would be fine.

She thought, 'I can go to work and do some paperwork until I recover. Then after that, I'll just go home.'

Although, Andrew's decision was firm. He replied, "No. It's not going to happen. You have to wait for the doctor to be sure that you are going to be okay."

Ashley gave Andrew a pitiful look.

The way Ashley looked at Andrew almost melted his heart.

He nearly gave in to the temptation and agreed to let her go home. But he stopped himself.

Logic had prevailed, and he abandoned the idea.

At this moment, Johnny came back with the information that Andrew wanted.

Coincidentally, the hospital Lena was in was the same one that Ashley was confined to.

Johnny knocked on the door and walked in. He greeted, "Boss, Miss Mu."

When Ashley saw Johnny, she couldn't help but ask, "So, what did you get? Is Lena's baby, okay?"

Even though Ashley knew deep in her heart that the baby probably didn't make it, she still hoped that it might have survived.

'It was just a baby. It was so young and innocent.'

Johnny could feel that the care Ashley had towards the baby was real. He was aware that Ashley and Lena didn't get along, but he believed Ashley. He knew Ashley would never be able to do such a cruel thing.

However, his opinion and belief didn't count for much in this world.

Seeing the weird expression on Johnny's face, Ashley was a bit confused. "What's wrong?"

After breathing a heavy sigh, Johnny told her the news. "Miss Mu, Lena's baby is gone."
