    Chapter 1166 Defending Laney


    Laney’s smile became more and more bitter. “I had picked a hospital for the delivery, but Garrett’s


    father forced me to go to a different one instead. He said Garrett was born in that hospital. And the


    Hardings trusts the doctors there.”


    A frown formed on J’s face. She felt sorry for Laney.


    Leo had always been tyrannical. He told Laney to move to another hospital just because of that,


    without even considering how inconvenient it was for Laney to move around when she was about to


    give birth. He had gone too far.


    “Garrett went against it. He insisted on our initial choice and asked to stay by my side during the


    delivery. He knew how overwhelming his parents could be so he made sure Vera and Leo wouldn’t


    distress me.”


    Talking about Garrett turned Laney’s bitter smile sweet again. Obviously, Garrett’s parents would never


    agree. As if reading J’s mind, Laney sighed. “Then, Garrett and his father had a huge argument.


    His father asked L to persuade me to change the hospital.”

    Anger burned behind J’s eyes. “Garrett s father has gone too far. I doubt he cares about you at all.


    Does he even take you as his daughter-inw?”


    A disappointed expression settled on Laney’s face. She pursed her lips. “Well, they had been against


    my marriage with Garrett from the start. Perhaps they still haven’t epted me now.”


    She was just a mere bodyguard, after all. And an orphan before that Garrett on the other hand was


    born into a rich family. Their status couldn’t be more different. The Harding family holding a grudge


    against her was only predictable.


    However, in J’s eyes, Laney was a kind- hearted girl with a beautiful face and good fighting skills.


    Truth be told, J didn’t think Garrett deserved her friend. The Harding family was wrong for


    underestimating Laney.


    Looking al Laney’s gaunt face made J more sympathetic. She was just about to say something


    when L came over with the bags. J looked away and swallowed her words. “Mrs. Harding, we


    should hurry. We have to go to the hospital arranged by Mr. Harding.” L urged Laney as she carried


    the luggage. Her tonecked its usual hospitable lilt, reced with something like impatience.


    Feeling helpless, Laney lowered her gaze and was about to follow L.


    Before she got married, Laney used to be such an energetic girl. Now, her bright personality had


    greatly dimmed.


    A pang of sadness surged in J’s heart.


    What frustrated her more was L’s attitude. She took the luggage and said coldly, “We don’t need you


    to follow us.”


    L stopped, looking stunned but still calm, if not impassive. She knew J’s identity. L couldn’t


    afford to offend the daughter of the White family and Brandon’s wife.


    So, L turned at Laney, looking her directly in the eye. With a threatening tone, she said, “Mrs.


    Harding, this is Mr. Leo Harding’s idea. Do you want to go against him?”


    Laney was already opening her lips to speak but J stopped her. She looked at L coldly. “We


    didn’t say we wouldn’t go to that hospital. All I’m asking you is to not follow us. Is there a problem with


    that?”


    “But…” Biting her lower lip, L stood her ground “This is Mr. Leo Harding’s order. He asked me to


    take care of Mrs. Harding.”


    “Laney is the one who’s pregnant.” J didn’t try to cate L at all. The Harding family never


    scared her anyway. “We respect Mr. Harding’s decision, so we’ll go to the hospital he arranged But it’s


    Laney who will give birth to the baby. If she’s not satisfied, she won’t go. You also have to respect her


    will.”


    J’s words made L’s face pale, as though the letters were wrapped around her neck. Still, she


    insisted on following Laney.


    “Regardless, my duty is to ensure Mrs. Harding’s safety. I have to stay close to her.” J lost all the


    will to argue with L. She carried the luggage and got into the car with Laney.


    Seeing that the two were about to leave, L quickly sped the door. “Mrs. Harding, Mr. Leo Harding


    wouldn’t like this. He will be mad at you!”


    “Let go!” J’s eyes suddenly turned cold. Her fierce aura sent a chill down L’s spine. L was so


    startled by J’s imposing manner that she didn’t notice her grip on the door loosened.


    It was not until the car drove away that L came to her senses. She stamped her feet with hatred.


    J’s protectiveness of Laney was not something she expected. And the mere thought of offending


    J scared her. All she could do was watch until the two disappeared.
