A Love Trap Chapter 879 Conflicting Emotions.

After ending the call, Ashley held Andrew's phone in her hand and looked ahead. Nobody knew what
she was thinking, but her eyes had become dull.

At this moment, Andrew had already opened his eyes and was looking at her.

Ashley didn't know that Andrew was already awake when she answered the phone.

He had heard their entire conversation, and he recognized the voice from the other end of the line.

"What are you thinking now?" Andrew asked softly as he held Ashley in his arms.

His voice seemed to have brought Ashley back to her senses. She glanced at him then looked away,
feeling a little embarrassed.

"Did I wake you up?" she asked.

"Nope," Andrew replied, shaking his head.

He was a light sleeper, so even the slightest noise or movement could wake him up.

"You just woke up?" Ashley asked again.

"Yup.

Who called?"

Although he already knew, Andrew still asked. He wanted to hear the confirmation directly from Ashley.

Ashley fell silent for a while.

After a few minutes, she answered, "It was Jeremy."



She still couldn't call Jeremy, her older brother. Until now, she had not yet wholly accepted the fact that
they were siblings.

"Did you tell him where we are?" Andrew asked.

"Yes."

Ashley turned around to look at him and added, "By the way, where is Angelina now?"

"Why?"

"I just want to ask her something. She almost had me and my baby killed last night. I can't just let it
pass," Ashley replied.

"Don't worry. I won't let her go. I told Johnny to lock her up. After you get better, you can go and see
her," Andrew said as he stroked Ashley's hair gently.

"Okay."

All of a sudden, Ashley seemed to have thought of something.

Feeling uneasy, she tugged Andrew's sleeve and asked, "Do you think Jeremy will intercede for
Angelina?"

She was Jeremy's real sister, but she couldn't help feeling hesitant. They had never spent that much
time together.

Angelina on the other hand, was not Jeremy's biological sister, but had been with Jeremy for a long
time. Ashley was worried that Jeremy would take Angelina's side.

She didn't know what she would do if Jeremy tried to protect Angelina.



At that moment, Ashley fell into deep thought.

Her heart was filled with misgivings.

She didn't know why she felt uncomfortable about it.

Maybe because she still wasn't totally convinced that she was really Jeremy's biological sister.

She thought about all those years that Jeremy and Angelina had a close bond as brother and sister.

Ashley looked at Andrew. She couldn't hide the uneasiness that she felt.

"Don't worry about that. Jeremy won't protect Angelina," Andrew said as he held Ashley's hand and
squeezed it gently. It was his way of reassuring her.

Andrew and Jeremy knew each other very well.

Growing up together, they were the best of friends.

Although Jeremy looked gentle, friendly, and polite, he also had a cold-blooded side.

He would never tolerate anyone who did evil things.

Andrew was confident about that.

"Are you sure?"

Ashley asked as she raised her head and met Andrew's gaze.

"Yes. So don't worry, okay?"

Somehow, Ashley felt relieved with Andrew's comforting words.



She leaned on Andrew's chest, and they chatted about other things for a while.

All of a sudden, Ashley sat up straight and asked, "Do you believe that I am really Jeremy's biological
sister?"

"Why? Are you still not sure about it?"

"Honestly, I don't know.

I can't even remember how I got lost. It was a long time ago. But I don't think my family would throw me
out deliberately.

"I'm sure that they just lost me by accident."

All these years, Ashley had been looking for her parents

because she firmly believed that she was not abandoned by them.

She also believed that they were looking for her too.

But since she was just a small girl when she disappeared, it might have been difficult for them to find
her.

"Don't worry. Whatever happens, I will be by your side,"

Andrew said gently. He knew what was troubling Ashley, so he wanted to comfort her.

Ashley hugged him tightly. She was grateful that he was always there for her.

They were enjoying their intimate moment when someone knocked on the door.

Startled, Ashley let go of Andrew's arms.



She looked horrified.

On the other hand, Andrew's eyes darkened.

"Maybe it's Jeremy,"

he said to Ashley.

"Come in."

Outside the ward, Jeremy heard Andrew's voice telling him to come in. He subconsciously took a long
and deep breath

and tidied up his clothes. His assistant, who was behind him, found it strange to see him looking so
nervous.

As a matter of fact, Jeremy had never been so nervous before. Even when he first met Angelina, he
didn't feel like this.

Maybe because he and Ashley were really related by blood.

"Mr. Gu?"

his assistant called him from behind.

"Just stay here and wait for me," Jeremy ordered his assistant.

"Yes, Mr. Gu."

Jeremy then pushed the door open and walked in.

The moment he saw Ashley lying on the bed, his nervousness was instantly replaced with worry.



Without thinking twice, he walked up to her and asked, "Ashley, what happened to you? Are you hurt?
Tell me."

Jeremy looked at Ashley worriedly.

His voice was full of concern.

Ashley thought that she would be nervous when she saw Jeremy again.

But she was surprised when all she felt right now was warmth in her heart.

She never knew that being cared for by one's real family was like this.

"I'm fine," Ashley answered, feeling a little embarrassed.
