Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 307

Janet pulled back and said, "You're my most valuable friend, Laney. Thank you for always helping me in any way you can."

Laney's smile dimmed. The sincerity in Janet's eyes made her chest tighten in guilt.

Everything she had done, everything Janet was grateful for, it was all because of Ethan was paying her to be Janet's bodyguard. However, Janet had no idea and even regarded her as an important person in her life.

"Please don't mention it," Laney said, shaking her head and casting her eyes downward. "I like helping other people." These minor injuries were nothing to her, really. She had survived worse battles when she was younger.

And if she were to be perfectly honest, she liked Janet, too. Janet personified beauty and kindness. Laney didn't want to cause any unnecessary worry.

How would Janet react if she somehow found out that Laney had been hired to approach her?

"I know, Laney" Janet said with a small chuckle. "That doesn't change the fact that you're the nicest friend I've ever had."

Laney sighed helplessly. She took a good look at Janet and noticed the dark circles under the latter's eyes. "Did you stay here all night? I'm fine by myself, you know. The nurses will check up on me regularly. You should go home."

"Don't worry about it. I used to work all night all the time. This is no big deal."

Laney pursed her lips. "But today is a weekday. Don't you have to go to work?"

"Well, I—Yes..." Janet stammered. The matter had completely slipped her mind. "Yes, you're right. And I haven't even filed for a leave of absence! Oh, I have to go. Do you need me to file yours, too?"

"Please, and thank you." Laney breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Ethan, who had been standing by the door of the ward. Janet was finally leaving the hospital.

A few moments later.

Janet jumped out of the taxi and dashed through the lobby of the Larson Group building.
