Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 814

Laney was anxious that her deception would be discovered. Her anxiety rose though when she saw the doctor looking so serious. Something must have really happened to her baby.

Meanwhile, Vera was beside herself with worry that she nearly passed out. She was already blaming herself for what might have happened to Laney and most of all, the baby. All she hoped to do was make Laney learn to be more sensible so she wouldn't be a hindrance to Garrett's career. She didn't want anything untoward thing to happen.

"So what is it, Doctor? What's wrong with her?" Vera asked as she nervously gripped her handkerchief.

"She is malnourished and anemic," the doctor concluded after reviewing the data on the devices. "She might miscarry if you don't take proper care of her."

Hearing this, Vera nearly fell off her feet. A maid rushed to her side and helped her to the sofa.

Vera trusted the doctor. He came from a well-known medical family and he learnt everything from the doctor who delivered Garrett. He had been serving the Harding family since Garrett was a young boy.

"So, what should we do know?" Vera asked.

"I'll list some dos and don'ts for you as this is a crucial time for her. Don't be too hard on her diet. You need to understand the pregnant woman's predicament. Her husband should also involve himself more to accompany her and ease her emotions." He wrinkled his nose and added, "Keep her away from strong scents like perfumes." Looking now at Kelly, the doctor explained, "Pregnant women are more sensitive to smells. Some scents will make them nauseated or light-heated. Others are prone to headaches because of the smell. I advise you to stay away from her since your perfume is affecting her negatively."

"Did you hear that?" Vera said as she turned to look at Kelly.

"From now on, you won't be coming here. You'll take care of the company's affairs in the office. So, leave!"

Kelly couldn't believe what she was hearing. She twitched her mouth. She was furious, but she hid it well it.

Vera was determined to follow the doctor's orders. More than anything else, she cared about the children of the Harding family. She then asked the maid to help Laney to her room so she could rest.

Now, taking good care of Laney's health was the most important thing for Vera. Laney could learn her manners as a proper lady later.
