Chapter 308 The Baby Was Gone

Raymond tried to say something, but his throat went dry. He paused and then asked, "Are you sure it was Ashley who did this to you?"

Upon hearing this, Lena suddenly pushed him away with all her strength. She looked at him like he was a stranger. What Lena said next really made Raymond feel ashamed of himself.

She looked at him with a smile that was both bitter and sad. "Raymond, you still don't believe me. I know you always have a place for Ashley in your heart. I never complained about it. But, how could you doubt me on this? Do you really think I would use the death of my baby to frame her?"

Tears were rolling down her cheeks, but she didn't wipe them. It was not difficult for Raymond to detect the note of bitterness in her voice. She continued, "There were only two of us in the bathroom. If it was not Ashley, who else do you think did it? Me?"

She closed her eyes, and the tears in her eyes spilled out. Clutching her chest, she said, "Raymond, how could you do this to me?"

Raymond panicked. He quickly said, "No, no, that's not what I meant. Lena, please hear me out! I can explain."

She opened her eyes and looked at him. Then she slowly closed them and said, "Raymond, I knew you never liked me. I also knew you loved my sister all along. But I really believed what you said in the restaurant. I really believed that you would give me a future. I wanted to give you a surprise too! But I never thought...I never thought..."

Lena couldn't continue her sentence. She burst into tears and her face turned pale.

Seeing her pale face, he suddenly remembered what the doctor had told him. He advised Raymond to keep her calm and allow her to rest.

Raymond's guilt was ingrained in his soul. He hated himself for thinking she would kill her own baby. He should have known better, given how much Lena loved him.

He held her in his arms and tried to comfort her.

Meanwhile, Andrew carried Ashley to the hospital. He got terrified when she passed out in front of him.

"How is she?" he inquired.

"Mr. Lu, she is fine. She just has had a slight concussion. Don't let her do any strenuous exercise. She will be fine; she just needs some rest," the doctor advised.

"Okay. Thank you! Please give

this for everyone to hear."

"My Ash is so smart!" he said, beaming with pride.

He gently tousled her hair. Hearing his compliment, Ashley became a bit shy.

Meanwhile, Raymond's and Lena's parents found out that she was in the hospital and all four of them had rushed there.

Raymond frowned. Their sudden appearance meant trouble for him. However, he let them visit Lena.

He hadn't decided how to tell both families about the whole thing. He really was not ready to face them yet.

Peggy walked in first. Seeing Lena's pale face, she couldn't help but feel sad for her little girl. Ron might be her favorite child, but she did love Lena too. It was her first time seeing her daughter like this.

She walked over to her bedside and asked, "Lena, what's going on? Why is your face so pale?"

Cora wasn't very happy about seeing Lena in the hospital either. Lena was her future daughter-in-law and she really liked her. Cora was confused about why she was so sick that she had to be admitted to a hospital.

"Lena, what's wrong?" she asked.

It was not surprising that Raymond didn't know who had informed both sets of parents. He would never think that the culprit was Lena herself.

But this was all part of her master plan. Lena was ready to ruin Ashley's life for good this time.

Lena looked at Peggy and Cora who were fussing over her. She faked more tears and started sobbing, "Mom, Mrs. Luo, I am so sorry! It's all my fault. I didn't protect my baby well."
