A Love Trap novel Chapter 83

Instead of feeling relieved, the woman was now somewhat annoyed when she saw that her daughter was waking up. 'How could she be waking up so soon? If I had known this would happen, I would have given her more sleeping pills last night, ' the woman thought with irritation.

"Jenny? Oh, thank goodness you're awake. How do you feel now? Do you feel ill?" The woman asked putting on an expression of concern on her face.

"Jenny? Thank goodness, you're awake. I was so worried about you. Are you all right?" When the little girl's father noticed that his daughter was waking up, he hurried to her side. He also pretended to be anxious and spoke to her with concern in his voice.

The little girl woke up feeling anxious and confused. However, when she saw clearly that there were so many strangers around staring at her, she hid behind her mother in fear. "Mommy, where am I? I want to go home. Can we go home now?"

"Jenny, my baby. It's all right. Don't be afraid. Do you remember the little cake you ate last night? You suddenly passed out after eating that cake for no apparent reason. I was so worried about you." The woman held the little girl tightly in her arms and spoke to her in a gentle voice.

The little girl nodded her head innocently and said, "Yes. I remember that, Mommy. That cake was really delicious. It tastes better than any cake I've ever eaten before. Mommy, can I have another one, please?" The little girl was only about four or five years old. She looked at her mother with an innocent expression.

"Jenny, listen to me. You can't eat those cakes anymore. Do you know that you fainted after eating that cake last night? There must be something wrong with that cake. Fortunately, you're okay. Otherwise, I don't know what I would have done." The woman held the little girl in her arms again and cried crocodile tears.

The man embraced the woman and the little girl and began to cry as well. The couple were putting on a real show for the people around. Only the little girl was the true victim in all of this.

"Ashley, what should we do now? Do you think it's really because she ate one of our cakes that she fainted?" Ellie looked at the family of three hugging each other, then she walked over to Ashley and asked with an anxious tone.

Ashley patted Ellie gently on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, Ellie. It will be okay. I don't believe there is anything wrong with our cakes."

Ashley approached the little girl and asked in a gentle voice, "Hello, little cutie. Did you faint last night after you ate the cake?"

Ashley had a sweet and tender face, and everyone felt at ease and comfortable speaking to her. Ashley was wearing a soft smile on her face and her voice was particularly gentle. All of this made her look so charming.

The little girl stared up at Ashley. 'She is so beautiful, ' the little girl thought.

And then she opened her mouth to say something, but her mother quickly covered the little girl's mouth. "Jenny, don't talk to strangers. Have you forgotten what I have told you?" The woman warned the little girl and her words sounded slightly threatening. Ashley felt uncomfortable when she heard how the woman spoke to her daughter.

The little girl looked away from Ashley and then turned to her mother. She was obviously frightened by her mother's scolding expression. Therefore, she pressed her lips timidly and didn't dare speak anymore.

The young people among the onlookers around the cake shop had almost all left. It was Monday and most of them were actually in a hurry to get to work. Although they were curious to see how this whole incident would eventually work out, they didn't want to risk their boss firing them because of it.

The onlookers that were left behind were mainly some older men, who had nothing better to do than hang around and collect gossip.

Just then, the siren of an ambulance could be heard coming down the street. Once the man heard the siren, he was in an obvious panic.

Ashley looked at the panicked man and sensed that there was something wrong because he was behaving very strangely. It didn't make sense that he would become so anxious when the ambulance came. In fact, he should be more relieved than worried.

As soon as the ambulance arrived at the entrance of the cake shop, two nurses and a doctor on the ambulance got out quickly. Soon they came to the little girl.
