A Love Trap novel Chapter 55

Even though Francis stopped babbling, he still thought that he hadn't said enough. Andrew shouldn't eat anything spicy even if he had taken the pills.

'How stupid is that?' Francis wondered. 'What Andrew will do next just in order to win that woman's heart?'

He was thrilled already when he thought about the idea that Andrew might do something more stupid.

"It's lucky that you took the pills I gave to you in time, or you can be in the hospital now!" scolded Francis.

Francis observed Andrew's skin, trying to search for a spot that wasn't screaming with red bumps. Andrew's whole body, however, was covered with the reaction.

If Ashley were here now, she would definitely notice the allergic reaction. What she had seen on his arm in the car was just merely the tip of the iceberg.

Ashley did learn about it later.

Ashley felt terrible when she found out. When she realized Andrew couldn't eat spicy food without having a reaction, she felt guilty. She felt so guilty that Andrew even managed to get what he wanted. That was a later story.

Taking a first aid kit out of the medicine cabinet, Francis picked up a bottle of liquid medicine. He examined it and noted the uses, then he approached Andrew. He dipped the cotton ball into the bottle, grabbed Andrew's arm, and swabbed the soaked piece of cotton from Andrew's fingers to shoulders.

The moment Andrew felt the liquid applying on his skin, he felt much better. His skin had been burning since he ate the spicy food in the restaurant.

Sitting quietly on the bed, Andrew didn't say anything. He just let Francis put the liquid on his skin. It seemed that Andrew's attention was wandering.

He didn't even notice when Francis had finished his job.

Francis noticed Andrew's eyes were not focused. He lifted his arm to wave in front of Andrew's face.

'Nothing?'

He waved again with more aggression, his arms flailing in a hurried pattern.

'Still nothing?' Francis wondered.

Again, he waved his arms, trying to break Andrew's gaze. "Hey, Andrew, I finished taking care of you, now I want to know what are you thinking?" Francis moved his hands closer to Andrew's face and continued, "I'm not here to watch you be in a trance.

My time is very precious. Women, lots of women, want me for sex." Francis raised his voice with each sentence and by the time he said the last word, he was shouting.

In order to draw Andrew's attention, he shouted really hard.

As expected, Andrew came back to earth when he heard the shouting. He turned to Francis and looked at him with empty eyes.

"Did you hear me? Or are you a fool?" muttered Francis.

He had been told when you broke someone's fixed trance, the way he just had done to Andrew, it was likely that the person would become a fool.

He knew that was something absurd. But if it was true, he would feel so guilty for shouting at Andrew all of a sudden.

"Hey, Andrew, are you okay? You don't need to worry if you really become a fool.

I will handle your family business for you and take good care of you. You can count on me," he said seriously. Francis began to think that there might be something wrong about Andrew. He didn't say anything so far.

Suddenly, the thought of taking over Andrew's family business scared Francis.

If he took over the Lu Group, he would be so busy dealing with the business that he wouldn't have any time to pick up girls.

Francis realized he didn't think it through before he made that promise. That was something he found hard to accept.

Andrew was a little amused by Francis's remark. A faint smile crossed his lips.

Lifting his leg, he kicked Francis in the shins.

Francis, worried about his friend's lack of enthusiasm for his earlier comment, was not prepared for the swift fall to the ground. He sat up and began to breathe heavily to catch his breath.

"Oh shit!
