When they arrived at the hospital, Laney was immediately wheeled into the emergency room. Scared out of her wits, Janet hurriedly called Garrett.
At this time, Garrett was in a meeting. When he saw that it was Janet who was calling him, he wondered if it had something to do with Brandon. "What's wrong, Mrs. Larson? Does Brandon need my help again?" Garrett asked playfully. He had thought that the Larson Group must really need him since everything was chaotic now that he had left.
"No, no. Laney's in the hospital. Come here quickly. It's an emergency. I'll explain everything when you get here." Things were happening too fast. There was no time for Janet to explain.
Without waiting for a response, she hung up the phone.
The smile on Garrett's face instantly disappeared. He immediately suspended the meeting and rushed downstairs to drive to the hospital Janet mentioned.

Janet anxiously paced the hospital corridor back and forth. What was going to happen to Laney?
After what felt like an eternity, the door was pushed open and a doctor came out, followed by a nurse, who wheeled Laney out.
Janet ran over to them to ask how Laney was.
"We've done a thorough examination for her. Fortunately, she's not seriously injured; she just bled a little. I do recommend that she rests for a while."
With a good-natured smile, the doctor explained everything to Janet before she could even ask.
Hearing this, Janet let out a long sigh of relief.
"That's good. That's wonderful. Thank you so much, doctor." Janet looked at Laney's pale lips and felt a tinge of guilt.
Seeing the anxious look on her face, the doctor tried to comfort her. "Don't worry too much. She will be fine. Just make sure she gets lots of rest, okay?"
Janet nodded obediently.
Just then, Laney slowly peeled her eyes open. She had a serious stomachache just now and had passed out from the pain. Looking around, she soon realized that she was in the hospital.
