Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1166

Laney's smile became more and more bitter. "I had picked a hospital for the delivery, but Garrett's father forced me to go to a different one instead. He said Garrett was born in that hospital. And the Hardings trusts the doctors there."

A frown formed on Janet's face. She felt sorry for Laney.

Leo had always been tyrannical. He told Laney to move to another hospital just because of that, without even considering how inconvenient it was for Laney to move around when she was about to give birth.

He had gone too far.

"Garrett went against it. He insisted on our initial choice and asked to stay by my side during the delivery. He knew how overwhelming his parents could be so he made sure Vera and Leo wouldn't distress me." Talking about Garrett turned Laney's bitter smile sweet again.

Obviously, Garrett's parents would never agree.

As if reading Janet's mind, Laney sighed. "Then, Garrett and his father had a huge argument. His father asked Lola to persuade me to change the hospital."

Anger burned behind Janet's eyes. "Garrett's father has gone too far. I doubt he cares about you at all. Does he even take you as his daughter-in-law?"

A disappointed expression settled on Laney's face. She pursed her lips. "Well, they had been against my marriage with Garrett from the start. Perhaps they still haven't accepted me now."

She was just a mere bodyguard, after all. And an orphan before that. Garrett on the other hand was born into a rich family. Their status couldn't be more different. The Harding family holding a grudge against her was only predictable.

However, in Janet's eyes, Laney was a kind-hearted girl with a beautiful face and good fighting skills. Truth be told, Janet didn't think Garrett deserved her friend. The Harding family was wrong for underestimating Laney.

Looking at Laney's gaunt face made Janet more sympathetic. She was just about to say something when Lola came over with the bags. Janet looked away and swallowed her words.

"Mrs. Harding, we should hurry. We have to go to the hospital arranged by Mr. Harding." Lola urged Laney as she carried the luggage. Her tone lacked its usual hospitable lilt, replaced with something like impatience.

Feeling helpless, Laney lowered her gaze and was about to follow Lola.
