Chapter 1195 Did You Cheat On Laney
Garrett could tell from the expressions on his parents’ faces that his accusation got to the heart of the matter.
The very existence of Laney seemed to have slipped out of Leo and Vera’s minds, as if her life and death were of no importance
to them whatsoever.
“Garrett...” Vera tried to hold his hand, but Garrett recoiled from her touch, refusing to hear her excuses.
“I’m utterly disappointed in you!” Following his words, Garrett promptly made his way into the elevator, leaving his parents
standing there with the weight of disappointment heavy on their faces.
Upon reaching Laney’s ward, Garrett was met with the sight of Jand Brandon standing outside her room He hastily
approached them, his mind focused solely on seeing Laney.
“Wait!” Janet’s cold voice stopped Garrett in his tracks as he rushed towards Laney’s ward. He turned to face her, noticing her
scrutinizing gaze that seemed to pierce through him. “Why are you so late? Laney’s condition is critical. You should have been
here earlier!”
Garrett’s mouth opened as if to speak, but he hesitated, unsure of where to begin. “I...”

“What?” As soon as she noticed his facial expression, Jimmediately suspected that something was amiss. “Have you been
unfaithful to Laney?”
Garrett felt a sudden jolt in his chest and quickly refuted, “No, I did not! How could I possibly cheat on Laney! I had only intended
to discuss business matters, but I unintentionally becintoxicated.”
As Jgazed upon the guilty countenance of Garrett, she harbored doubts regarding the truthfulness of his outlandish alibi.
Growing increasingly incensed, her voice escalated in volas she bellowed, “Garrett! You had better cclean and tell me
the truth! You have no idea how much effort Laney put into giving birth to your child, almost sacrificing her life, and yet you chose
to fool around with someone else! How could you do this to Laney?”
Garrett was overwhelmed with a deep sense of remorse and guilt when he found out that Laney had nearly lost her life.
With bloodshot eyes, Garrett stood silently at the entrance of the hospital ward, unable to find the words to express his emotions.

“Janet.” Soothingly, Brandon took Janet’s hand and advised her, “Please try to stay calm. Laney is still recuperating inside.”
“It was all my fault,” With a sense of shand anguish, Garrett averted his gaze and whispered. “But what exactly caused
Laney’s premature labor?”
Struggling to contain her fury, Jspoke in a frigid tone. “Thanks to your ex, Kailee. She asked Lola and the attending
physician to deliberately divert Ian, and then sent a care worker to tamper with the floor of Laney’s ward. When Laney tried to get

out of bed, she slipped and fell, which ultimately led to the premature labor.”
As Garrett listened attentively, his countenance grew increasingly grave. The intensity of his anger caused his body to tremble
involuntarily. He had never anticipated that so much could happen in the few days he had been on the business trip.
Casting a frosty glance in his direction, Jadded, “Had Ian not been observant and noticed something was amiss, we cannot
even begin to imagine the consequences that might have ensued.”
“Lola must pay for it. I’ll make sure she spends the rest of her life behind bars.”
With a cold glint in his eyes, Garrett added, “I will not let the attending physician off the hook either.”
Just as Jwas about to ask how to handle Kailee’s involvement, a nurse suddenly emerged and interrupted her, announcing,
“The patient is in stable condition now. Only one family member is permitted to visit her for now.” Without another word, Garrett
hastily strode past Jand made his way into the ward to see Laney.
The anesthesia had worn off and Laney had just awakened. Upon catching sight of Garrett, a faint smile of joy bloomed across
her wan and pallid face.
“Garrett... You’re back? Have you seen the baby?” Garrett quickened his pace and tightly clasped her hand in his own. Gazing
upon her exhausted face, he was overwhelmed with guilt and could hardly form a coherent sentence.
“Laney... I’m so sorry...”
Laney shook her head, smiling serenely, and reassured him, “It’s alright. I’m feeling better now.”
She chuckled softly and remarked, “Actually, you seem to be more disheveled than I am. Look, your clothes and shoes are on
the wrong way around.”

Observing Laney’s weakened state and her attempt to comfort him, Garrett was consumed with even greater feelings of
remorse.
