The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 1191 Laney Had A Hemorrhage
“It hurts…” Laney appeared to be in anguish, gasping for air, as if she was about to pass out the next moment.
“Laney!”
Janet was terrified, screaming, “What happened to you? Doctor! Doctor!” The doctors and nurses arrived as soon as they heard the commotion.
Blood dripped down Laney’s legs and her pupils began to dilate. “Oh, no!”
The doctor’s face became pale as he added, “She is hemorrhaging right now! We must do the surgery right now or she will bleed to death!”
“Hemorrhaging? Why is she suddenly hemorrhaging?” Janet’s mind went blank and she couldn’t process what was going on.
But nonetheless, it was not the right moment to inquire. Laney needed to be rescued immediately, so Janet had no choice but to step outside and wait.
Ian couldn’t help but feel more nervous when he saw doctors and nurses rushing in and out of the delivery room with a grave look on their faces.
When he saw Janet come out, he hurried over and asked, “Mrs. Larson, is everything all right?” Janet’s eyes began to well up with tears. She said in a hoarse tone while leaning against the wall, “Laney started to hemorrhage all of a sudden. They are conducting surgery to stop the bleeding.”
“How did this happen?” Ian frowned. “I don’t know. Suddenly…” Janet covered her mouth with her hand as she couldn’t bring herself to speak.
“Mrs. Harding will be fine.” Ian looked up at the red light above the door of the ICU as he spoke.
In truth, he didn’t know if he was trying to comfort Janet or himself.
Lola couldn’t hide the look of gloat in her eyes as she looked at the two flustered people and said, “She will be fine? Do you even know what you’re talking about? Only a handful of fortunate people survive from a puerperal hemorrhage.”
The look in Janet’s eyes suddenly turned cold. It dawned on Janet that Laney’s hemorrhage was triggered by her own overwhelming emotions, and Lola was the one to blame for it all.
“You liar!” With a calm yet piercing gaze, Janet demanded Lola’s phone, “Give me your phone! I want to see when you got in touch with Garrett.”
Lola took a few steps back, lowered her head, and faltered, “I… I…”
“Give me your phone!” Janet said coldly. What gives you the right to invade my privacy like this?” Lola retorted.
Janet, no longer interested in conversing with Lola, snatched her phone and swiftly perused through the call history.
As expected, there were no traces of contact between Garrett and Lola.
Janet was further infuriated by the discovery that the most recent call Lola had made was to none other than Kailee.
Lola had also sent messages to Kailee, reminding her of Garrett’s departure and providing updates on Janet’s arrival.
Janet dialed Kailee’s number and within seconds, the call was connected, indicating that Kailee had been eagerly anticipating updates from Lola.
“How is it going? Are Laney and her baby dead?” Kailee’s voice was venomous, causing quivers of terror to those who heard it.
Janet enunciated each word with an icy chill, “Regrettably, I must shatter your expectations. Laney and her baby are both unharmed.”
The idea of Janet being on the other end of the line had never crossed Kailee’s mind, causing her heart to skip a beat. Before she could gather her wits, she was met with Janet’s frigid voice once more. “I will not let you slip away, Kailee.”
Kailee’s nerves trembled with trepidation, and she abruptly ended the call. Ian prevented Lola from taking any action, leaving her powerless but to spectate.
A sense of panic surged through her as Lola realized that Janet was not going to let her go easily.
In an instant, Janet spun around to Lola and commanded Mesue, who had just arrived a few moments ago, “Detain Lola at once. I’ll deal with her once Laney gets better.’’
Mesue heeded the instruction and yanked Lola away, ignoring her feeble resistance. “Janet!”
Lola howled and thrashed about, adding, “I was sent here by Mr. Harding! How dare you treat me like this? Are you sure you want to go up against the Harding family?”
Janet ignored Lola and waved at Mesue to take her away. Disdainful and repulsed, Janet refused to even cast a single glance at the despicable Lola.
