A Love Trap novel Chapter 914

As soon as Ashley finished speaking, she heard Francis's voice.

Needless to say, she was stunned.

Ellie was pregnant?

Could it be true?

After pausing for a moment, Ashley was suddenly overwhelmed with joy.

Even over the phone, Francis could hear the excitement in her tone.

"Ellie's pregnant? Where is she now? I need to see her!"

She was even more excited than when she found out she, herself was pregnant.

Francis frowned upon hearing this. He quickly objected, "No, no, Ashley, you don't have to come. I promise you I'll take good care of Ellie. You're pregnant too so you shouldn't be going on long trips. We'll visit you soon."

If Ashley came over to the hospital, Francis was afraid that Andrew would beat him up.

He understood that Andrew valued Ashley the most.

To Andrew, Ashley was precious and unparalleled—not even his good friends could compare.

It was beyond doubt that Andrew treated them, his friends, differently.

Ashley was about eight months into her pregnancy. Andrew didn't even want to go to work anymore. He just wanted to stay at home with Ashley.

Francis wasn't going to let Ashley come to the hospital to see Ellie. If anything happened to her, he would be in big trouble.

"I'm fine. I need to see Ellie."

Ashley was a little worried about Ellie.

"No, Ashley, don't come. Just stay home. Ellie is fine. I have to go and take care of her now. Bye!"

With that, Francis hung up without even waiting for Ashley to respond.

Ashley put the phone aside and began anxiously pacing around the room.

"My lady, what is going on?"

Linda hurriedly approached her as soon as she came out of the kitchen and saw Ashley walking around the room.

"Linda, Ellie's pregnant!" Ashley said excitedly as she looked at Linda.

"Oh, are you talking about Miss Su?"

Linda was pretty familiar with Ellie since she often came to visit Ashley. Besides, she frequently heard her name from Ashley.

"Yes, that's her."

"That's great. I bet Miss Su must be very happy right now," Linda gushed.

"Oh, Linda, would you mind going to the hospital to check up on Ellie for me? I can't go there myself so I figured I'd ask you."

"Sure," Linda agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you, Linda." Ashley was very pleased.

"You don't need to say thank you to me," Linda said respectfully.

Ashley took her phone out, intending to message Francis to ask him what hospital they were in.

She then paused, thinking for a while before proceeding to delete the entire message.

Linda was back in the kitchen, preparing the soup she was going to take to Ellie.

Ashley clutched her stomach as she made her way to the kitchen.

"My lady, what's wrong? I packed some black-boned chicken soup to bring to Miss Su later. It's very nutritious."

As Linda spoke, she waved the thermos in her hand to show to Ashley.

"Linda, I just thought about it and maybe you shouldn't go."

"What's wrong? What happened?" Linda looked at Ashley nervously.

"Nothing. It just occurred to me that Francis is taking care of Ellie in the hospital. I think it's better if we give them their privacy."

"Yes, you're right. My lady, you're so considerate. Let me serve you the soup instead."

"No, thanks, Linda. I'm not hungry yet."

Ashley actually felt like vomiting the minute she caught sight of the soup.

Ever since she had gotten pregnant, Linda had been cooking soup for her every single day.

Linda would make her ribs and corn soup, pig's trotters and winter melon soup, crucian carp soup and so on.

All of which were beneficial to the health of pregnant women.

Naturally, by then, Ashley was already sick of drinking soup.

She wanted to eat other food too, not just soup.

In addition to that, she also felt as if she had become plump.

She didn't want to get fat.

While she normally didn't care about her figure, she disliked the idea of gaining weight after giving birth to the baby.

Meanwhile, Francis stayed at home to accompany the pregnant Ellie.

He paid close attention to her. Ashley also heard that he had consulted several obstetricians and listed down all the things he needed to know in a notebook.

He also hired a couple of nutritionists who could watch over Ellie's health.

It was Andrew who had told Ashley all these.

Meanwhile, Ashley grew a little restless when night came.

She would often have cravings. One night, she suddenly wanted to eat the cake from a certain shop in the south of the city.
