The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 724
Brandon frowned and persuaded, “Maybe he had a good reason, and we'll know
why he did it when he gets back.”
Natalie snorted coldly, absolutely dissatisfied with Garrett's behavior.
Noticing how angry she was, Brandon could not help but rub her head dotingly as
he comforted her, “Don’t worry. Laney is going to be fine. The doctor Frank
recommended is a world-class physician. He can certainly save Laney.”
Natalie slowly began to feel relieved under his comfort. However, she couldn't
help staring at the delivery room nervously while praying in her heart that Laney
would be safe and sound. Time passed, and Natalie leaned against Brandon's
shoulder drowsily until the delivery room was finally open.
Natalie ran over to the doctor as soon as she saw him walking out. “How is she,
doctor?”
“The patient is out of danger.” As he was talking, one of the nurses pushed Laney
out of the delivery room in a stretcher. Natalie wasn't fully relieved until she saw
that Laney was fine. Brandon also sighed with relief as they both followed Laney
to the ward.
As soon as they entered the ward, the bodyguards, who were watching Leo and
Vera, came over to report that Leo and Vera were making a fuss, demanding to
see their grandchild.
Since Laney was out of danger now, there was no reason for Branson to detain
them anymore, so he waved to the bodyguards, signalling them that they could
let Leo and Vera see the baby.
Leo and Vera were frustrated after being in the VIP room for several hours. Since
they were allowed to leave, they immediately headed to the hospital nursery
where the baby was.
Vera's heart warmed up when she saw the baby sound asleep in the incubator.
“Oh! My little granddaughter is so adorable!” Though Leo wasn’t as exp**ssive as
his wife, his eyes were also filled with love.
“Why has Laney given birth to the baby before the due date?” Leo asked,
knowing that there was still time for the due date. He couldn't help sensing that
something must be amiss. “Was something really wrong?”
Vera was still immersed in joy at the sight of the baby, so when she heard Leo’s
words, she casually said, “It's not that big of a deal to give birth a few days before
the due date. It is more common than you think.”
After hearing that, Leo’s doubts were dispelled. They watched the baby for a
while before they were ready to leave, feeling satisfied. However, as soon as
they stepped out of the elevator, they ran into Garrett, who was running towards
them anxiously.
“How... How is Laney?”
Garrett was still hung-over. He pulled Leo aside and added, “Is she okay?”
Only then did Leo and Vera notice that he looked very unkempt and smelled of
alcohol. He wasn't even wearing his shoes right, which made him look like a
mess.
“What's wrong with you? You're a dad now. How can you still act so unreliable?”
Leo rebuked d*eeply.
Vera also frowned with dissatisfaction and said, “Clean yourself up before you go
to see your daughter.”
Garrett's eyes turned red with disappointment. “I am asking you about Laney!
How is she? Do you only care about the baby? Laney was fighting for life in the
delivery room. Didn't you two go and see her?”
Leo and Vera looked at each other awkwardly and finally realized that they had
completely forgotten about Laney.
Garrett could tell from the exp**ssions on his parents’ faces that his accusation
got to the heart of the matter.
The very existence of Laney seemed to have sl*pped 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 Natalie and
Brandon standing outside her room He hastily approached them, his mind
focused solely on seeing Laney.
“Wait!” Natalie'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 exp**ssion, Natalie immediately
suspected that something was amiss. “Have you been unfaithful to Laney?”
Garrett felt a sudden jolt in his ch*st 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 became intoxicated.”
As Natalie gazed upon the guilty countenance of Garrett, she harbored doubts
regarding the truthfulness of his outlandish alibi.
Growing increasingly incensed, her voice escalated in volume as she bellowed,
“Garrett! You had better come clean 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 exp**ss his emotions.
“Natalie.” Soothingly, Brandon took Natalie's hand and advised her, “Please try to
stay calm. Laney is still recuperating inside.”
“It was all my fault,” With a sense of shame and anguish, Garrett averted his
gaze and whispered. “But what exactly caused Laney’s premature labor?”

Struggling to contain her fury, Natalie

spoke in a frigid tone. “Thanks to your
ex, Kailee. She asked Lola and the
attending physician to deliberately

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. The content is

Casting a frosty glance in his direction, Natalie added, “Had lan 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 Natalie was about to ask how

nurse suddenly emerged and

interrupted her, announcing, “The

word, Garrett hastily strode past
Natalie and made his way into the

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.
