The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 721
Having undergone professional boxing training, lan’s formidable blow bloodied
the physician’s mouth and rendered him unable to rise.
“Halt him!” the physician, gritting his teeth through the pain, shouted at the
petrified Lola. Lola had always perceived lan as a gentle, well-mannered
individual. His ferocity took her aback, leaving her too frightened to intervene.
She could only stand frozen as he stormed off. After incapacitating the physician,
lan swiftly navigated to Laney’s ward.
As he rounded the corner, Laney’s scream pierced the air, “Ah!”
“Damn it!” Panic gripped lan’s heart as he dashed into the room
Entering, he found Laney on the ground, holding her stomach in pain, her
countenance pale as she winced, almost frail.
lan was shocked that such an incident would occur when he was out for only a
few minutes. He felt his ch*st tighten as he hurriedly moved forward to help
Laney up so she could sit on her bed. “Mrs. Harding, what happened? How did
you fall all of a sudden?”
Laney rested against the bed, clutching her stomach in pain Her breathing grew
faster by the minute and cold sweat dripped down all over her body. She
stuttered, “Just... now... A care worker came to clean... I wanted to get out of
bed to get a glass of water after she left, I never expected... the floor close to the
bed to be so sl*ppery... It made me fall...”
“A care worker?”
Lola and the attending physician's abnormal behavior a few moments ago came
to lan’s mind, then there was the appearance of this care worker. lan’s instinct
told him that this entire thing was a scheme.
However, there was no time to think of such things at the moment.
lan saw that Laney’s clothing was damp bet**en her legs, indicating her water
had broken. She was likely about to have a premature delivery.
Nothing else mattered, lan hurriedly p**ssed the emergency b**ton, and softly
comforted Laney, “You need to relax, Mrs. Harding. Take deep breaths and calm
yourself.”
Laney held tight on lan’s sleeve, as the pain in her abdomen grew more and
more intense, making it hard to even speak.
It was only at this point that Lola and the attending physician finally arrived,
coming late to the scene. As they watched Laney go into premature labor after
her fall, they both remained calm and kept their composure, as though this was
something they had foreseen.
The physician remained indifferent as he directed a couple of nurses to move
Laney to the delivery room He showed zero signs of panic despite the dire state
the patient was in. Watching both the physician and Lola, lan grew more doubtful.
Their calmness promoted his suspicion that they had been working out this
scheme from the beginning to the end.
They purposely kept him out of the way then called on a care worker to clean the
area around Laney’s bed, tampering with it to result in her sl*pping and going into
premature delivery.
However, with Laney’s life hanging in the balance, the only thing lan could do
was hold himself back and silently escort her to the delivery room.
Before she was rolled into the delivery room, Laney clutched lan’s sleeve tightly
and pleaded, “Call Garrett. Immediately...”
lan easily nodded and instantly dialed Garrett.
However, he couldn't reach him, even after dialing a dozen times.
As Lola watched this from the side, her I*ps curled upwards in a small smile, a
hint of self -satisfaction glistening in her eyes.
It appeared that Kailee’s scheme had worked perfectly!
Despite multiple tries, lan wasn’t able to reach Garrett on the phone. He
eventually had to give up after dialing for a while.
As lan lifted his head, he caught sight of Lola s nonchalant exp**ssion and
couldn’t help but furrow his brows as he warned, “Do not do anything to
aggravate Mrs. Harding, I'm warning you. Don't tell her I can’t reach Mr. Harding.”
Lola pretended she hadn't heard lan speaking. She bent her head and toyed with
her phone, covering her disdainful look with one of indifference.
Laney was all alone with no support now, so what power did lan have over her?
And as Kailee's plan had succeeded, very soon Laney would be kicked to the
curb.
As lan could not reach Garrett, he hurriedly phoned Natalie to pass on the news.
“Hey, lan, is something wrong? How’s Laney?” Natalie answered the call
instantly.
She had been working on her design, fully focused on the intricate lines in the
manuscript as she held the phone bet**en her cheek and shoulder.
lan felt a bit of ease as Natalie's sweet voice sounded in his ears. He said
nervously, “Mrs. Larson, Mrs. Harding fell and is now in labor. Could you make
your way here as soon as possible?”
“What? Laney fell??” Natalie was shocked, and her exp**ssion instantly changed
when she heard the news. She hurriedly got up from her chair, knocking over the
glass of water on her desk unto her nearly-completed manuscript.
But there was no time for her to tidy things up at the moment. She quickly
phoned the driver and rushed to the hospital.
As Natalie swept into the hospital, the tension was palpable. Laney remained in
the delivery room, every passing moment feeling like an eternity.
lan paced nervously outside, his heart pounding in his ch*st. Upon spotting
Natalie, he darted towards her. “Mrs. Larson.”
“Tell me what happened! Why did Laney suddenly fall and go into premature
labor?”

“I sent Brandon to track him down. He'll find Garrett as soon as possible,” Natalie
reassured lan.
En route to the hospital, Natalie had tried in vain to reach Garrett. Desperate, she
enlisted Brandon's help.
lan’s shoulders sagged with relief, knowing that Brandon's assistance would
make a world of difference.
Lola’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.
Hours later, the delivery room's green light fl**kered to life, signaling the ordeal’s
end.
The doors swung open, revealing a nurse cradling a newborn. “Who's here for
