The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 720
“You're the one lacking confidence,” Garrett shot back stubbornly. “I would never
be jealous over an assistant.”
“Are you sure about that?” Natalie drawled, her tone laced with insinuation.
“Forget it! I'm not dealing with you!”
Embarrassed beyond belief, Garrett wanted nothing more than to vanish. He
hung up without waiting for a response from the other end.
At the hospital, Laney’s attending physician encountered Lola after leaving the
ward. He stopped her in her tracks and said, “Mrs. Harding won't use those
essential oils.” Lola was confused by how panicked the attending doctor
appeared.
“Did something happen? Did they find out anything?”
Too nervous to provide a clear explanation, the attending physician vaguely
replied, “lan, the personal assistant, mentioned that essential oils weren't suitable
for pregnant women, so he replaced all of them.”
“What?” Lola was taken aback. She had no idea that lan had swapped out the
essential oils.
“That's all I know. Just pay more attention to it.” The attending doctor didn't dare
say more and hastily left after offering his warning.
Lola stood in shock for a moment before recovering her composure. She
stomped her foot angrily, exclaiming, “lan is definitely going against me!”
Previously, she didn't deliver the gift Kailee entrusted her to give Laney due to
lan’s interference. Now, she had once again failed to fulfill Kailee’s assignment.
Kailee had promised her a handsome reward upon completing the task, but what
lan did had scuppered her reward. The mere thought of it made Lola's heart
ache.
Left with no other recourse, she decided to call Kailee and report the situation.
“Miss Gibson, the essential oils you asked me to place in Mrs. Harding's room
were all discarded by another personal assistant, lan. I'm afraid I won't be able to
put the essential oils in her room anymore.”
As soon as the call connected, Lola respectfully relayed the circumstances to
Kailee.
“The essential oils were thrown away?” Though Kailee was seething with anger,
she maintained an elegant and composed demeanor. But after hanging up, her
exp**ssion shifted instantly.
Once again, it was lan who had foiled her plan! If she couldn't execute her plan in
a covert manner, she'd have to resort to more forceful measures.
With clenched fists, Kailee's face was twisted with rage.
As the due date of Laney’s childbirth drew near, Garrett was slated to embark on
a business trip to another city as scheduled.
Before setting off, Garrett went to the hospital with his luggage in tow, bidding a
wistful farewell to Laney.
“Darling, please take care of yourself. If you need anything, just let lan and Lola
know.” With a tender glance, he added, I'll be back soon.” Garrett gently k**sed
Laney’s forehead, his eyes brimming with affection.
Laney softly adjusted Garrett's collar and reassured him, “I know. You should
take care of yourself too, and be careful on your journey. Our baby and I will be
here, eagerly awaiting your return.”
“I promise, my love. I have to go.” After one final, lingering k**s, Garrett hurriedly
departed with his luggage in tow.
Once Garrett was gone, Lola surreptitiously took out her phone and sent a
message to Kailee. “Miss Gibson, Mr. Harding has left.”
Kailee seemed to have been anticipating Lola's message. She promptly replied,
“Good. Once Garrett has driven away, proceed with the original plan.”
Because her due date was drawing closer, Laney’s body grew increasingly
cumbersome.
After Garrett's departure, she returned to her room to rest aided by lan.
Sensing an opportune moment, Lola immediately informed lan, “The attending
physician has requested our presence in his office. He'll provide us with essential
information on caring for a pregnant woman.” lan furrowed his brow. A nagging
suspicion told him that something was amiss. He swiftly declined, “You can
attend and relay the information to me afterward. I'll stay here and tend to Mrs.
Harding.”
Lola’s anxiety spiked upon hearing his refusal. How could she execute Kailee’s
plan if this jerk insisted on staying put? Feeling desperate, she remarked, “We
should go together. I'm afraid I won't be able to accurately convey everything the
doctor says.”
lan’s determination to prolong the quarrel remained steadfast, but Laney
interjected, pacifying both parties. “It's alright. I'll stay put in the ward. lan, feel
free to leave.”
“But...” lan hesitated, apprehension gnawing at his heart.
Alingering sensation tugged at him, warning that something ill might befall
Laney. Casually picking up a magazine from the bedside table, Laney reassured
him, “I'll be engrossed in these pages until your return. Fret not, be on your way.”
Reluctantly, lan accompanied Lola to the attending physician's office, unable to
shake off his lingering concerns.
Lola exhaled in relief, Kailee's scheme now partially realized.
Meanwhile, the attending physician had been anxiously awaiting lan’s arrival,
growing increasingly concerned that something had gone awry.
Upon the duo’s entrance, the physician too let out a sigh of relief and promptly
approached them, subtly signaling Lola.
Lola, catching the cue, guided lan towards the couch, saying, “Let's pay heed to
the doctor’s counsel, ensuring the finest care for Mrs. Harding.”
lan’s eyes narrowed, sensing that something was amiss as he observed the
familiarity bet**en Lola and the physician.

Aghast, lan stared at the stack, as thick as a , and stammered, “Memorize all of
these?”
“Indeed. Every single word,” the physician reiterated.
“Very well. I'll take them back to memorize,” lan conceded, rising with the notes
in hand, “Mrs. Harding mustn't be left unattended.”
Lola swiftly seized lan’s arm, insisting, “I shall tend to Mrs. Harding. You remain
here and master these guidelines.”
lan’s suspicions flared as he observed their disarray, detecting a nefarious plot
unfolding. icy, glaring at Lola, “Why are you not the one to stay and learn?”
Lola's nervousness peaked as she averted her gaze, stammering, “I... I lack the
medical expertise to grasp this material.”
“Then you ought to be even more diligent in your studies to properly assist Mrs.
Harding,” lan countered, shaking free of Lola’s grip and striding towards the door.
