Chapter 334


    Laney was finally about to be discharged from the hospital. It waste winter by now and the first heavy


    snow fell in Seacisco.


    Early that morning, J took Ethan to the hospital to pick Laney up. The ground was covered with a


    thickyer of snow. People sank into the snow with every step.


    “How about you stay in the hospital for a few more days? Your wound’s still wrapped in gauze.” J


    nced at Laney’s injury worriedly. She had many misgivings as she packed up Laney’s things. She


    was a petite girl after all. What if she got hurt again?


    Although Laney’s wound hadn’tpletely healed, this didn’t stop her from going about her daily


    activities. Perhaps it was because she practiced martial arts all year round that her body recovered


    faster than that of ordinary people.


    Laney stretched her legs and shook her head firmly. “I’ve been on leave for a whole week! If I stay any


    longer, I’ll lose all of this month’s sry.”


    She could go back and clock in. After all, her job was to protect J.


    While they were chatting, they heard amotion outside the ward.


    “It seems I’m thest one to arrive!” Garrett loudly knocked on the door to the ward two times before


    pushing it open.


    He was dressed in a ck overcoat, with a few clumps of snow clinging to his broad shoulders.


    Pushing a pair of silver-rimmed sses up the bridge of his nose, he looked elegant yet gentle.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    J looked at him in surprise. “Mr. Harding, what brings you here?”


    Upon taking a closer look at Garrett, she felt that he looked a little different today, but she couldn’t tell


    how.


    Garrett’s eyesnded on the gauze on Laney’s arm. “This is my capable secretary. It’s only right that I


    come pick her up from the hospital!”


    ‘Are all the leaders of the Larson Group so concerned with their subordinates? Is this part of their


    corporate culture?’ J wondered with a click of her tongue.


    Unexpectedly, Laney turned her head aside and snorted coldly.


    J thought, ‘Garrett’s the boss. If he came here in person to pick Laney up, it might be impolite of


    me to refuse his offer.’ Out loud, she said, “Mr. Harding, thank you in advance for taking Laney home.”


    J linked arms with Ethan and smiled yfully. “I suppose we’ll get going.”


    After the couple left, Garrett asked his assistant to bring the car around. Then he gathered Laney’s


    luggage and led the way out of the ward. Of course, Garrett wanted to act gantly. But Laney gave


    him the cold shoulder the whole time and didn’t let him get close to her.


    Laney reluctantly followed Garrett out of the hospital and waited for the car.


    ncing at the woman who was pretending to be fine, Garrett asked with concern, “How’s your


    wound?”


    Laney shrugged nonchntly. “It’s no big deal. But, for the sake of J’s safety, I’ll wait until I’ve


    completely recovered before I resume my duties as her bodyguard.”


    “Don’t worry. Ethan would never let his wife get into any sort of danger. While you were in the hospital,


    he already made arrangements for another bodyguard to secretly protect J.”


    As he spoke, Garrett looked at Laney’s delicate face. Then, he added, “But we all think that your ability


    is outstanding. It’d be best if you be the one to continue protecting J. Ethan said that after you


    recover, you will continue to be J’s bodyguard.”


    “Of course. I’m better than most male bodyguards.” Laney was pleased to hear such words of praise


    and she couldn’t help but smile slightly.


    But as soon as she finished speaking, her expression suddenly changed as she whipped her head and


    stared at somewhere intently.


    Confused by her strange behavior, Garrett followed her gaze curiously and asked, “What’s wrong?”


    Laney eyed the wide-view mirror in the parking lot and murmured, “I just heard something. It sounded


    like it was behind us.”
