A Love Trap novel Chapter 128

Johnny nodded calmly, watching Francis leave.

Even though he was Andrew's close friend and private doctor, Francis always spoke rudely to him.

Despite this, he cared deeply about Andrew. When Andrew got into trouble, he was more worried than anyone else.

Ashley and Andrew were alone in the office after Francis left.

Andrew applied the ointment on Ashley's thigh. She couldn't help but pull back at his touch.

Andrew's hand was cool, like a piece of jade, and his fingers were fair and slender. However, there were some calluses on his fingers, which might be a result of his frequent use of pens.

As he applied the ointment on Ashley's thigh, he inevitably touched her smooth and white skin. The calluses on his fingers lightly pricked her skin.

Only a small area of her skin was scalded. Ashley thought he would finish applying the ointment quickly so she just waited quietly.

But Andrew did it so slowly and carefully. Half squatting, he gently rubbed her scalded skin, as if it was a very precious, delicate thing.

Ashley was little nervous and could feel her heart thumping in her chest.

Her face was flushed in embarrassment. She looked away quickly.

She even ignored the slight itching on her thigh.

"It's okay." It was a long time before Andrew stood up.

His suit looked a bit rumpled; perhaps from carrying her in his arms earlier.

Ashley looked at her dress and frowned. She felt embarrassed about her appearance, especially when she saw the stain on the hem of her dress.

She struggled to stand up by supporting her hands on the sofa. She wanted to go into the lounge to change into a clean dress, but no sooner had she stood up than Andrew held her.

"Where are you going?" he demanded, pursing his lips.

Ashley replied a little awkwardly, "I just want to get changed."

Andrew simply stared at her blankly without saying a word.

Finally, Ashley went to the lounge and got changed. She wore a pink dress, the style of which was similar to the previous one. The dress complemented her white skin.

Ashley had just come out of the lounge when Johnny brought them lunch.

She realized she was a little hungry. Glancing at the clock on the wall, she saw that it was already noon.

Ashley stared in disbelief when she saw that Andrew intended to feed her. 'My leg is hurt, but my hands are fine, ' she thought.

She stopped him immediately, saying, "I can eat by myself. My hands are not hurt."

Paying no heed to what she said, Andrew just stared at her quietly. Unable to dissuade him, Ashley finally relented.

As he fed her, Ashley experienced a warm, fuzzy feeling again.

After lunch, Andrew began to pack up his things. At first, Ashley thought he was busy with his work, so she watched him quietly without saying anything.

To her surprise, after packing up, Andrew came to her and suddenly picked her up in his arms.

Subconsciously, Ashley put her arms around his neck.

It seemed like he was taking her outside. Ashley was a bit confused. Looking up at him in puzzlement, she asked, "Where are we going?"

Andrew was amused at her funny expression. "Let's go home," he said loudly.
