The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 721 Having undergone professional boxing training, lan’s formidable blow bloodied the physician's mouth and rendered him unable to rise.

“Halt him!” the physician, gritting his teeth through the pain, shouted at the petrified Lola. Lola had always perceived lan as a gentle, well-mannered individual. His ferocity took her aback, leaving her too frightened to intervene.

She could only stand frozen as he stormed off. After incapacitating the physician, lan swiftly navigated to Laney’s ward.

As he rounded the corner, Laney’s scream pierced the air, “Ah!” “Damn it!” Panic gripped lan’s heart as he dashed into the room Entering, he found Laney on the ground, holding her stomach in pain, her countenance pale as she winced, almost frail.

lan was shocked that such an incident would occur when he was out for only a few minutes. He felt his ch*st tighten as he hurriedly moved forward to help Laney up so she could sit on her bed. “Mrs. Harding, what happened? How did you fall all of a sudden?” Laney rested against the bed, clutching her stomach in pain Her breathing grew faster by the minute and cold sweat dripped down all over her body. She stuttered, “Just... now... A care worker cto clean... | wanted to get out of bed to get a glass of water after she left, | never expected... the floor close to the bed to be so sl*ppery... It madefall...” “A care worker?” Lola and the attending physician's abnormal behavior a few moments ago cto lan’s mind, then there was the appearance of this care worker. lan’s instinct told him that this entire thing was a scheme.

However, there was no tto think of such things at the moment.

lan saw that Laney’s clothing was damp bet**en her legs, indicating her water had broken. She was likely about to have a premature delivery.

Nothing else mattered, lan hurriedly p**ssed the emergency b**ton, and softly comforted Laney, “You need to relax, Mrs. Harding. Take deep breaths and calm yourself.” Laney held tight on lan’s sleeve, as the pain in her abdomen grew more and more intense, making it hard to even speak.

It was only at this point that Lola and the attending physician finally arrived, coming late to the scene. As they watched Laney go into premature labor after her fall, they both remained calm and kept their composure, as though this was something they had foreseen.

The physician remained indifferent as he directed a couple of nurses to move Laney to the delivery room He showed zero signs of panic despite the dire state the patient was in. Watching both the physician and Lola, lan grew more doubtful. Their calmness promoted his suspicion that they had been working out this schfrom the beginning to the end.

They purposely kept him out of the way then called on a care worker to clean the area around Laney’s bed, tampering with it to result in her sl*pping and going into premature delivery.

However, with Laney’s life hanging in the balance, the only thing lan could do was hold himself back and silently escort her to the delivery room.

Before she was rolled into the delivery room, Laney clutched lan’s sleeve tightly and pleaded, “Call Garrett.

Immediately...” lan easily nodded and instantly dialed Garrett.

However, he couldn't reach him, even after dialing a dozen times.

As Lola watched this from the side, her I*ps curled upwards in a small smile, a hint of self -satisfaction glistening in her eyes.

It appeared that Kailee’s schhad worked perfectly! Despite multiple tries, lan wasn’t able to reach Garrett on the phone. He eventually had to give up after dialing for a while.

As lan lifted his head, he caught sight of Lola s nonchalant exp**ssion and couldn’t help but furrow his brows as he warned, “Do not do anything to aggravate Mrs. Harding, I'm warning you. Don’t tell her | can’t reach Mr.

Harding.” Lola pretended she hadn't heard lan speaking. She bent her head and toyed with her phone, covering her disdainful look with one of indifference.

Laney was all alone with no support now, so what power did lan have over her? And as Kailee’s plan had succeeded, very soon Laney would be kicked to the curb.

As lan could not reach Garrett, he hurriedly phoned Natalie to pass on the news. “Hey, lan, is something wrong? How's Laney?” Natalie answered the call instantly.

She had been working on her design, fully focused on the intricate lines in the manuscript as she held the phone bet**en her cheek and shoulder.

lan felt a bit of ease as Natalie's sweet voice sounded in his ears. He said nervously, “Mrs. Larson, Mrs. Harding fell and is now in labor. Could you make your way here as soon as possible?” “What? Laney fell??” Natalie was shocked, and her exp**ssion instantly changed when she heard the news. She hurriedly got up from her chair, knocking over the glass of water on her desk unto her nearly-completed manuscript.

But there was no tfor her to tidy things up at the moment. She quickly phoned the driver and rushed to the hospital.

As Natalie swept into the hospital, the tension was palpable. Laney remained in the delivery room, every passing moment feeling like an eternity.

lan paced nervously outside, his heart pounding in his ch*st. Upon spotting Natalie, he darted towards her. “Mrs.

Larson.” “Tellwhat happened! Why did Laney suddenly fall and go into premature labor?” Natalie's voice trembled with panic as her eyes darted to the ominous red light above the delivery room. She p**ssed lan for details about Laney’s condition.

Lola's exp**ssion shifted subtly as she caught sight of Natalie, her stomach churning with the fear that her devious schwould be uncovered.

Powerless to do anything but hope, she sent a silent prayer for the success of Kailee’s plot. “Mrs. Harding sl*pped on a w*et floor left by a careless worker,” lan explained tersely. “We can’t get in touch with Mr. Harding, and I'm worried how Mrs. Harding will react if she finds out.” “I sent Brandon to track him down. He'll find Garrett as soon as possible,” Natalie reassured lan.

En route to the hospital, Natalie had tried in vain to reach Garrett. Desperate, she enlisted Brandon's help.

lan’s shoulders sagged with relief, knowing that Brandon's assistance would make a world of difference.

Lola’s heart raced as she eavesdropped on their conversation.

If Brandon managed to locate Garrett, would all her efforts be for naught? Anxiety gnawed at her as she fired off a text to Kailee, covertly warning her of Brandon's intervention.

Hours later, the delivery room’s green light fl**kered to life, signaling the ordeal’s end.

The doors swung open, revealing a nurse cradling a newborn. “Who's here for Laney Harding?” “We are!” Natalie and lan exclaimed in unison “Congratulations! Mother and baby are safe and sound. It's a beautiful little princess,” the nurse announced, handing the infant over to the proud duo.
