Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1228

As soon as Garrett finished his work in the company, he bought Laney's favorite desserts and drove to the hospital.

He was determined to get Laney's forgiveness.

However, Garrett was stunned when he pushed the door open to her ward.

The afternoon sunshine shone through the open window into the empty ward. The wind had diluted the scent of disinfectant. The quilt on the bed was neatly folded as if the room had been vacant for a long time.

The only proof that someone had stayed here was the lonely bouquet of flowers he had put in the vase a few days ago, swaying in the wind.

Garrett stared blankly at the empty ward, dropping the desserts he bought on the floor.

His assistant double-checked the ward number and scanned the room again. He asked in confusion, "We are at the right ward, so why isn't Mrs. Harding here?"

Garrett ignored his assistant.

He stared blankly at a piece of note that had been blown up by the wind, slowly gliding to the ground.

His legs felt heavy as he walked into the ward to pick up the note.

"I won't return to the Harding family. I have taken my baby with me to another place. I will send you a message once we settle down. But if the Hardings insist on taking my baby away from me, we will move somewhere you will never find. Laney."

Garrett felt his heart aching instantly from the parting with his wife and child.

He expected Laney would propose to leave, but he didn't expect her to leave so decisively.

He thought he would have time to persuade her to stay.

When his assistant read the note, he was also stunned. "Mr. Harding... Do you need me to send someone to investigate Mrs. Harding's whereabouts? She couldn't have gone far," he suggested in concern.

"No, it's okay. Let her go," Garrett said, shaking his head calmly.

He knew that Laney must have been extremely disappointed with him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have left Barnes without fully recuperating. If he chased her, it would only backfire.
