Garrett was stunned when he received the phone call.
Afraid that he might've heard it wrong, he clarified in a trembling voice, "Did you say that Laney's pregnant?"
Hearing Corey's affirmative answer, Garrett was so ecstatic that he nearly pumped his fist in the air.
He was absolutely sure that the baby was his.
He was going to be a father!
It took Garrett a long time to calm down.
Now he absolutely had to see Laney. She was pregnant—with his child, none the less. He couldn't let her live alone in a foreign country.
After getting the details from Corey, he flew to Europe at once.
Thanks to his subordinates' due diligence, he soon found out where Laney was staying.
Laney had racked her brains all day long but she still hadn't come up with a solution. On the contrary, she only felt more conflicted and frustrated.
While she didn't have the heart to abort the child, she couldn't let the child be born into an incomplete family.
Laney was an orphan. She knew how hard it was to have no family. She never considered having a child of her own before, but now that she was pregnant, she felt the need for her child to have complete family—which meant having a father. Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door. All Laney could think about was the baby. In a daze, she went to open the door.
