A Love Trap novel Chapter 84

Facing the man's threat, Ashley didn't show any sign of fear on her face. When the man was about to say something, the woman beside him tugged his sleeve.

Left with no choice, the man snorted at Ashley and followed his wife to the other side.

The woman didn't say a word until they walked to a quiet corner far away from Ashley. "What are we going to do? Will they discover what we did to Jenny?" she whispered anxiously after she glanced around and made sure no one could hear them.

With a serious look on his face, the man gave the woman an uneasy glance. Then he said in a low voice, "Don't worry. It's not a big deal even if they find out what we did to Jenny. All we need to do is insist that Jenny blacked out because she ate that cake I bought from the Memory Bakery. They can't do anything to us."

Although the woman agreed with him, she was still apprehensive.

Frowning, she blurted out her concern, "I don't think things will go on as expected. I have a bad vibe that something bad will happen."

Casting the woman a disgruntled glance, the man said peremptorily, "That's enough. You're worrying over nothing. Even if anything happens, I will take full responsibility. You will be safe and uncompromised."

The woman wanted to say something but swallowed her words at the sight of the displeased look on his face.

With different thoughts running on their heads, the three waited outside the ward.

Worried as she was, Ellie called up Ashley and asked her whether she needed someone to be with her at the hospital. However, Ashley refused immediately and asked her to just stay in the bakery and take care of business.

Ellie was worried sick that Ashley couldn't handle the couple, but the latter reassured her that she would settle this properly.

The couple together with Ashley had waited about one hour before the doctor walked out. He took off his mask and looked stern.

Stopping in front of them, he swept his gaze through the three. In a harsh voice, he asked, "Who is the little girl's family?"

"I'm her father. How is she? Is she okay?" the man replied.

Oblivious of his questions, the physician asked, "You said that she blacked out because she ate some cakes, right?"

Jittery inside, the woman nodded in confirmation and replied, "Yes, doctor. Jenny lost consciousness because she ate the cake we bought from her bakery."

Doubtfully, the doctor looked at the couple and said, "There is nothing wrong with the cake she ate. She blacked out because she took some sleeping pills. Besides, there are many bruises on her body. The scars are creepy. Why would she get so many scars? Moreover, there is a lot of sleeping pill residue within her body. It can be inferred that she took sleeping pills more than once."

With the doctor's statements, he stressed out that the little girl's blacking out had nothing to do with the cakes from Ashley's bakery. What was more, Ashley even got some unexpected information.

That girl had taken sleeping pills and been abused frequently.

"Doctor, are you sure about the results? My daughter did faint after eating their cakes. Besides, we have no idea about the sleeping pill." Annoyingly, the man insisted on trying desperately to fool others.

The physician threw him a cold glance and responded, "Are you doubting my capability? If you don't believe me, you can take her to another hospital. I'm sure you'll get the same results."

At the thought of the sleeping pill residue within the little girl's body and the bruises all over her, the doctor was angry at the man and treated him in an unfriendly manner.
