Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1190

As Janet swept into the hospital, the tension was palpable. Laney remained in the delivery room, every passing moment feeling like an eternity.

Ian paced nervously outside, his heart pounding in his chest. Upon spotting Janet, he darted towards her. "Mrs. Larson."

"Tell me what happened! Why did Laney suddenly fall and go into premature labor?"

Janet's voice trembled with panic as her eyes darted to the ominous red light above the delivery room. She pressed Ian for details about Laney's condition.

Lola's expression shifted subtly as she caught sight of Janet, her stomach churning with the fear that her devious scheme would be uncovered.

Powerless to do anything but hope, she sent a silent prayer for the success of Kailee's plot.

"Mrs. Harding slipped on a wet floor left by a careless worker," Ian explained tersely. "We can't get in touch with Mr. Harding, and I'm worried how Mrs. Harding will react if she finds out."

"I sent Brandon to track him down. He'll find Garrett as soon as possible," Janet reassured Ian.

En route to the hospital, Janet had tried in vain to reach Garrett. Desperate, she enlisted Brandon's help.

Ian'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 flickered to life, signaling the ordeal's end.

The doors swung open, revealing a nurse cradling a newborn. "Who's here for Laney Harding?"

"We are!" Janet and Ian exclaimed in unison.

"Congratulations! Mother and baby are safe and sound. It's a beautiful little princess," the nurse announced, handing the infant over to the proud duo.

Without sparing a glance at the baby, Janet brushed past the nurse and rushed into the delivery room.
