Chapter 1201 What If Mr. Harding Had An Affair
"Shut up!"
Garrett cut Kailee off sharply and forcefully pulled her aside.
Ian furrowed his brow and watched the departing figures of Kailee and Garrett, sensing that
something wasn''t quite right.
Despite not having seen the photos on Kailee''s phone, Ian had a sense that something was amiss
based on Garrett''s fearful reaction. He suspected that the situation was difficult to deal with and
could possibly hurt Laney.
Ian''s mind was clouded with uncertainty. He wasn''t sure if he should tell Laney about his suspicions.
Ian found himself in a difficult situation. He knew that keeping the truth from Laney could potentially
harm her, but he also didn''t want to hurt her feelings by revealing what he suspected. Ian weighed
his options carefully, trying to figure out what was the best course of action for everyone involved.
Ian remained indecisive about whether to inform Laney of his suspicion after he returned to the
ward. "Ian?" Laney motioned her hand in front of Ian and inquired, "Why are you so distracted? Is
something troubling you?"
Ian snapped out of his thoughts and met Laney''s worried gaze.
He didn''t want to hurt Laney by telling her the truth, but at the same time, he knew that hiding it from
her could also cause harm in the future.
Laney smiled at him and asked, "What happened?
Where is Garrett?"
"Mr. Harding..." Ian''s gaze fell downward, unable to meet Laney''s innocent eyes. After all, he didn''t
want to say anything that might cause her pain.
Laney pped her hands and inquired, "Did you and Garrett have an argument?"
Garrett had a clear dislike towards Ian and made it evident through his actions, which Laney had
noticed for a while. However, Laney found herself in a difficult position and didn''t know how to
improve their rtionship.
Ian hesitated for a few seconds and muttered, "Mrs. Harding, if... I mean, hypothetically speaking, if
Mr. Harding were to have an affair, would that make you very upset?"
Laney''s face froze and her eyes widened in shock as she didn''t expect Ian to say something like
that to her.
An awkward silence descended upon the ward.
Laney broke the prolonged silence, speaking at a deliberate pace. "Ian, I''m not sure why you ask
this question, but I have faith that Garrett would never do something like that."
Downcast and depressed, Ian found it hard to utter a word. "Mrs. Harding..."
Laney maintained a firm expression and spoke with assurance. "Garrett may be immature, but he is
not a bad person.
Despite the significant disparity in our social status, he has remained devoted and considerate to
me ever since we got married. I trust that he would never be unfaithful. Ian, I''m aware that Garrett
hasn''t been treating you welltely. That''s entirely his responsibility." Laney offered a regretful smile
and continued, "You are an exceptional andpetent personal assistant. I will have a frank
conversation with Garrett and urge him to let go of his biases."
Ian hung his head, declining to speak any further. In essence, he was even more uncertain about
how to confess the truth to Laney.
Laney hadplete faith in Garrett. If Garrett were to betray her trust, it would deal a devastating
blow to her.
How could he muster the courage to tell her that?
Just as Ian found himself caught in a quandary, his phone unexpectedly began to ring. The caller
was J.
"Pardon me, would it be alright if I answer the phone?" Ian asked politely.

Upon receiving Laney''s consent, he stepped outside to take the call.
"Ian, I was upied with work and didn''t hear my phone ring. Is everything alright?"
J sounded perplexed as she inquired over the phone.
Following a brief pause, Ian ultimately resolved to disclose Garrett''s unusual behavior to J.
As Laney''s closest confidante and Ian''s employer, he trusted that J would be able to uncover
the truth.
