Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1197

"The number you've dialed cannot be reached at this moment. Please call back later."

"Damn it!" Kailee rubbed her temples, clearly irritated.

She had just returned from a trip and had been trying to get in touch with Lola, but to no avail. She couldn't help but feel a bit agitated.

Just as she was plotting her next move, her phone lit up.

She picked it up and saw a message from Laney's attending physician. "Laney gave birth to a girl. She and the baby are doing just fine."

The message only served to irritate Kailee some more. She hadn't expected Laney to be lucky enough to survive the accident!

As it turned out, it was all Kailee's doing.

First, she bribed Lola and got her to distract Ian. Then, she told the physician to stall and buy some more time. Finally, she had a care worker wet the floor of Laney's ward, causing her to slip and have her baby prematurely.

When Laney was rescued after her fall, Kailee immediately asked the care worker to sneak back into the ward and mop up every drop of water on the floor.

As an extra precaution against the worst-case scenario, she sent someone to delete all the surveillance footage of the corridor in Laney's ward. That way, even if her plan were exposed later, there'd be no evidence to prove that she had really caused Laney's premature delivery.

As the hospital belonged to the Gibson family, it wasn't too hard for her to pull all of these strings.

In her quest to kill Laney and the baby, Kailee had taken every possible factor into account.

Despite this, she seemed to have neglected Brandon and Janet.

She'd planned to instruct the physician to kill Laney during the operation, but hadn't expected that Brandon would contract a different doctor to help save Laney after finding out that she'd suffered a hemorrhage.

The physician that Kailee had arranged for Laney was terrified of the Larson Group and the White family. In addition to that, the doctor that Brandon came along with was present throughout the operation, so he didn't dare do anything.
