A Love Trap novel Chapter 97

Andrew walked towards Ashley with the antiseptic and some bandages. He told Ashley to raise her hand which she immediately obeyed.

Andrew rolled some cotton and dampened it with alcohol. He then dabbed it on Ashley's wounds gently.

"Hiss." Ashley let out a sound of distress as her wound bubbled. The pain surged from her hand as the alcohol disinfected it. Ashley shivered as she tried to tolerate the agony.

Andrew was stunned by Ashley's painful reaction. He frowned and stared at Ashley's hand. He felt sorry about the pain she felt.

"Hang in there. It will be over soon." Andrew lowered his head and whispered to Ashley's ear. It was out of character for him to say such words but he really wanted Ashley to calm down.

The awkwardness in his voice must be because of the fact that he had never said such warm words to anyone.

Ashley was surprised by Andrew's heartfelt attempt to comfort her. Her eyes widened because she never expected Andrew to use such tender gestures.

Ashley stared at Andrew as he wiped her wounds. She noticed that his ears reddened and his hands slightly shook as he tended Ashley's wounds.

Ashley was dazed when she realized how Andrew cared for her. She felt conflicted about her emotions as she looked at Andrew's face. Ashley saw the pain in Andrew's face. She was the one who had a wound but Andrew looked to be more in agony as he stared at Ashley's hand.

She felt relieved when she saw how Andrew watched out for her safety. Andrew had already sterilized her wounds so he grabbed an ointment from the medical kit.

Andrew spread the white medical cream around Ashley's wound. The coolness from the cream lessened her pain and made her more comfortable.

Andrew reached for the bandage to wrap Ashley's wounds. However, when Ashley saw what he was about to do, she stopped him and said,"I don't think a bandage would be necessary. The wound cannot be covered by it."

Ashley thought that her hand was ugly enough without a bandage. It would look even worse and inconvenient if he put a bandage on her hand.

Andrew was frozen because he didn't know how to put a bandage to the wound. He then decided to follow Ashley's request and return the bandage to the medical box.

"Andrew, tell me, will my hand be scarred?" Ashley inquired with a sorry face. She frowned as she stared at the back of her hand which was inflamed. She then raised her head and looked at Andrew. Her eyes were filled with misery and pain.

Ashley felt really terrible about the wound in the back of her hand. She feared that it would be hard for it to heal especially in summer. Girls always cared about their physical appearances. Ashley was no exception. She was scared that the wound might leave a horrible scar in the back of her hand.

Andrew saw the sorrow in Ashley's eyes. He realized the anxiety that Ashley had. He felt sorry and looked away from her. His voice was soft and gentle when he assured her. "Don't worry. It won't leave a scar."

Andrew was determined to make sure a scar wouldn't be left.

He would provide the best doctor along with the best medicine just for her. He would dedicate all of his assets just to ensure that no scar would be left on Ashley's delicate hand.

"But what if there is a scar?" Ashley worried. She looked at her slender, delicate fingers. It would be a great disappointment for a pretty hand like hers to be scarred. Even her beauty would be negatively affected.

Andrew also became worried. His eyes fixated on Ashley and her hand. He then looked into Ashley's eyes and said dearly,"I will still treat you the same, even if there is a scar."

Andrew's warm words made Ashley stand up in shock and amazement. Ashley was overwhelmed by Andrew's sudden confession.

Ashley's face blushed with shyness. Her cheeks became rosy red.

She then sat down again in her chair and shifted her gaze towards the four dishes and soup on their table. She was amazed at how the food looked so delicious. Ashley raised her head and looked at Andrew with eyes filled with joy and excitement.

'It is near impossible to find a man who can cook delicious meals and more importantly, earn a lot of money. It's hard to believe that someone like Andrew would be with me right now.

Destiny sure is unfair. Andrew is very lucky to be born with not only a handsome face and decent status but also great skills in the kitchen.

'Hmm.' Ashley still couldn't believe that a perfect man like Andrew would be together with her. A smile escaped her lips as she felt incredibly pleased about their relationship.

Andrew noticed that Ashley was no longer gloomy. His face became lively when he saw Ashley's smile. "The food is getting cold. You should eat something," he chuckled.

"Okay," answered Ashley. She was delighted with how the food looked delectable. She picked up a dish and put it into Andrew's bowl. "We should eat together!" said Ashley with a wide smile.
