    Chapter 1190 Both Doing Well


    As J swept into the hospital, the tension was palpable. Laney remained in the delivery room, every


    passing moment feeling like an eternity.


    Ian paced nervously outside, his heart pounding in his chest. Upon spotting J, he darted towards


    her. “Mrs. Larson.”


    “Tell me what happened! Why did Laney suddenly fall and go into prematurebor?”


    J’s voice trembled with panic as her eyes darted to the ominous red light above the delivery room.


    She pressed Ian for details about Laney’s condition.


    L’s expression shifted subtly as she caught sight of J, her stomach churning with the fear that


    her devious scheme would be uncovered.


    Powerless to do anything but hope, she sent a silent prayer for the sess of Kailee’s plot. “Mrs.


    Harding slipped on a w*et floor left by a careless worker,” Ian exined 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,” J reassured Ian.


    En route to the hospital, J had tried in vain to reach Garrett. Desperate, she enlisted Brandon’s


    help.


    Ian’s shoulders sagged with relief, knowing that Brandon’s assistance would make a world of


    difference.


    L’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.


    Hourster, the delivery room’s green light flickered 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!” J and Ian eximed in unison “Congrattions! Mother and baby are safe and sound.


    It’s a beautiful little princess,” the nurse announced, handing the infant over to the proud duo.


    Without sparing a nce at the baby, J brushed past the nurse and rushed into the delivery room.


    Laneyy on the operating table, her face ghostly white and her sweat-soaked hair clinging to her


    forehead. J’s heart ached at the sight of her dear friend, so worn and fragile.


    “J, have you seen our baby? Isn’t she adorable?” Laney tried to sit up, her eyes sparkling with


    excitement.

    “Stay still!” J scolded gently. “You need to rest. You’re a mother now, and your little girl is absolutely


    perfect.” Hearing her baby was healthy, Laney sighed with relief.


    Exhausted, she fought to stay awake, her thoughts consumed by Garrett.


    “Where is Garrett? Hasn’t he arrived yet?” she asked, struggling to keep her eyes open. J’s heart


    twisted with sympathy as she searched forforting words.


    Unbeknownst to her, L had silently followed. Seizing her opportunity, L interjected, “I contacted


    Mr. Harding. He said he’s too busy toe back and told you to take care of yourself.”


    Her voice dripped with malicious satisfaction. “What did you say?” Laney’s face crumpled with disbelief


    and anguish. She couldn’t fathom Garrett’s cold indifference towards her and their child.


    “Pay her no mind!” J cut L off. Whirling around, she fixed L with a fierce re. “Get out!”


    L, cowed by J’s intensity, muttered her discontent but retreated without further provocation.


    “J… Did Garrett really say that?” Laney clung to J, her voice pleading.


    J quickly denied, “No, don’t listen to L’s lies. We’ve made contact with him and he is on his way


    over right now. He also asked us to take good care of you till he gets here.” Compared to L, Laney


    naturally trusted J more. Hearing this, she finally rxed. However, the next second, a wave of


    intense pain once again swept through her entire body.
