    Chapter 1189 Premature Birth


    Ian was shocked that such an incident would ur when he was out for only a few minutes. He felt his


    chest 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 came to


    clean… I wanted to get out of bed to get a ss of water after she left, I never expected… the floor


    close to the bed to be so slippery… It made me fall…”


    “A care worker?”


    L and the attending physician’s abnormal behavior a few moments ago came to Ian’s mind, then


    there was the appearance of this care worker. Ian’s instinct told him that this entire thing was a


    scheme.


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

    Ian saw that Laney’s clothing was damp between her legs, indicating her water had broken. She was


    likely about to have a premature delivery.


    Nothing else mattered, Ian hurriedly pressed the emergency button, and softlyforted Laney, “You


    need to rx, Mrs. Harding. Take deep breaths and calm yourself.”


    Laney held tight on Ian’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 L and the attending physician finally arrived,ingte to the scene.


    As they watched Laney go into prematurebor after her fall, they both remained calm and kept their


    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 L, Ian grew more doubtful. Their calmness promoted his suspicion that they had been


    working out this scheme from 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 slipping and going into premature delivery.


    However, with Laney’s life hanging in the bnce, the only thing Ian could do was hold himself back


    and silently escort her to the delivery room.


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


    Garrett. Immediately…”


    Ian easily nodded and instantly dialed Garrett.


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


    As L watched this from the side, her lips curled upwards in a small smile, a hint of self -satisfaction


    glistening in her eyes.


    It appeared that Kailee’s scheme had worked perfectly!


    Despite multiple tries, Ian wasn’t able to reach Garrett on the phone. He eventually had to give up after


    dialing for a while.


    As Ian lifted his head, he caught sight of L s nonchnt expression 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 I


    can’t reach Mr. Harding.”


    L pretended she hadn’t heard Ian 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 Ian have over her? And as Kailee’s n


    had seeded, very soon Laney would be kicked to the curb.


    As Ian could not reach Garrett, he hurriedly phoned J to pass on the news. “Hey, Ian, is something


    wrong? How’s Laney?” J 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 between her cheek and shoulder.


    Ian felt a bit of ease as J’s sweet voice sounded in his ears. He said nervously, “Mrs. Larson, Mrs.


    Harding fell and is now inbor. Could you make your way here as soon as possible?”


    “What? Laney fell??” J was shocked, and her expression instantly changed when she heard the


    news. She hurriedly got up from her chair, knocking over the ss of water on her desk unto her


    nearlypleted manuscript.


    But there was no time for her to tidy things up at the moment. She quickly phoned the driver and


    rushed to the hospital.
