The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 732
“Brilliant idea! I never considered that before!” Vera cried out, her hands clapping
together in elation at Kailee's inspired plan.
Vera's spirits soared, and her admiration for Kailee swelled.
Vera couldn't resist praising Kailee, saying, “You're so clever and kind-hearted.
Whichever fortunate young man marries you will be truly blessed.”
Kailee smiled demurely but remained silent. During their conversation, the car
had reached the entrance of the Harding family’s opulent abode.
Vera enticed Kailee inside to peruse the photographs of Garrett's youth, and
Kailee graciously acquiesced.
Together they sat in the lavishly appointed living room, poring over images of
Garrett's innocent days, their laughter and chatter filling the air with a warm,
convivial atmosphere. “Behold, here’s Garrett slumbering. He was so adorable
back then.”
“And here he is, accepting his first accolade. He was far more disciplined in his
younger days than he is now.”
Vera gestured to the photos, a wistful sigh escaping her lips as her eyes brimmed
with nostalgia.
Garrett was such an exemplary child/ Kailee agreed with a smile, feigning
interest in the images.
Vera failed to notice Kailee’s polite disinterest, and seeing Kailee's radiant smile,
she lamented, “If only I had fostered a stronger bond between you and Garrett,
we might have avoided this dreadful situation.” Following the distressing events
at the hospital, Vera's discontent with Laney intensified. She frequently rued
consenting to Garrett's marriage to Laney.
It was all due to Laney that their family faced such upheaval and a tarnished
reputation. Now, with the virtuous Kailee as a shining example, Vera's
resentment toward Laney reached a boiling point.
Kailee was the ideal match for the Harding lineage, not only due to her esteemed
family background but also for her intelligence, sensibility, and devotion. She
would make an exemplary spouse, yet fate had not aligned for Garrett and her.
As Vera's remorse deepened, Kailee’s countenance grew somber. “It's a shame
that destiny didn’t unite me and Garrett.”
“Let it be,” Vera sighed, shaking her head. “I'll compose a letter for Laney.”
After Vera completed her missive, Kailee offered to assist in packaging the photo
album and envelopes. Seizing an unguarded moment, she surreptitiously slipped
a “gift” she had prepared for Laney into the parcel. The servant, unsuspecting,
refrained from inspecting the package again and promptly dispatched it to the
hospital. Vera's letter, placed atop the photo album, imbued the delivery with an
air of sincerity.
As the package containing Kailee’s carefully crafted gift was sent under Vera's
name, a thrilling blend of anticipation and exhilaration coursed through her veins.
Kailee was certain that Laney would not resist opening the gift from Vera, and
when she did, the unexpected “surprise” concealed within would be revealed.
The mere thought of the expression that would contort Laney s face upon
discovering the “gift” filled Kailee with gleeful anticipation.
Eagerly awaiting the moment Laney would receive the package and uncover the
cunning surprise she had devised, Kailee’s excitement was palpable.
From the moment Natalie discovered the potential impropriety between Garrett
and Kailee, a simmering rage brewed within her, threatening to spill over at any
moment.
Her heart ached to visit Laney, but she feared inadvertently revealing the secret
she harbored. After an arduous mental struggle to quell her fury, Natalie finally
arrived at the hospital, steeling herself for the encounter. No sooner had she
entered the ward, however, than her eyes fell upon Garrett artfully peeling an
apple.
“Ah, Natalie! It's been ages,” Garrett exclaimed, a mischievous grin spreading
across his face as he brandished the fruit. “Fancy an apple? I've mastered the art
of peeling them just so,” he boasted.
Indeed, after days of practice, he'd perfected the technique, rendering the peeled
apple round and plump.
When someone entered the room, he couldn't resist showing off his newfound
skill.
Little did he know, Natalie was in no mood to entertain his antics.
With a frosty huff, she strode past him, making a beeline for Laney. Her voice
laced with concern, Natalie inquired, “Laney, how is your recovery coming
along?”
“Rest easy. I'm doing well,” Laney assured her, a warm smile lighting up her face.
Lately, her recovery had progressed by leaps and bounds. Under Garrett's
watchful eye, her complexion had brightened, and she'd regained the strength to
walk unassisted.
Noticing Natalie’s icy dismissal, a disgruntled Garrett sidled up to her and
whispered, “Why the cold shoulder?”
Natalie rolled her eyes, retorting, “You know full well what you've done.”
Garrett's pulse quickened, and he let out a nervous chuckle. “What could I
possibly have done?” he queried, feigning innocence.
Sensing the tension that crackled between them, Laney furrowed her brow.
“What's going on? Did something happen?” she prodded. Recalling Brandon's
earlier counsel, Natalie mustered a smile for Laney’s sake. “Nothing to worry
about. Brandon just needed a word with Garrett, so I came to borrow him for a
bit,” she explained.
Visibly relieved, Garrett exhaled. “I thought it was something else. I'll go find him,”
he declared, and promptly departed.
As soon as he was gone, Natalie summoned the doctor who'd assisted Laney
during childbirth. She requested a comprehensive check-up for both Laney and
her baby, haunted by the fear that Garrett and Kailee might conspire to harm
them.
Upon seeing the doctor arranged by Natalie, Laney couldn't help but feel
anxious. “Natalie, is something wrong with the baby?” she asked, her voice
trembling.

Hearing Natalie's words, Laney heaved a sigh of relief.
Touched by her friend's unwavering concern, Laney’s heart swelled with
gratitude. “Thank you, Natalie, for caring for me so deeply,” she said sincerely.
Natalie smiled, clasping Laney’s hand. “Were good friends, no need for thanks,”
she replied warmly.
Her expression then darkened with worry. “Laney, I truly hope you'll consider
leaving this hospital. It belongs to the Gibson family, and if Kailee tries to hurt you
again, it'll be hard to protect you,” she urged.

Though Natalie's concerns lingered, she bit her tongue in the face of Laney’s
joyful demeanor. Thankfully, the examination results confirmed Laney’s excellent
recovery, and her baby was the picture of health. This news allowed Natalie to
breathe a sigh of relief.
