Chapter 1189 Premature Birth
Ian was shocked that such an incident would occur when he was out for only a few minutes. He felt his chest tighten as he
hurriedly moved forward to help Laney up so she could sit on her bed. “Mrs. Harding, what happened? How did you fall all of a
sudden?”
Laney rested against the bed, clutching her stomach in pain Her breathing grew faster by the minute and cold sweat dripped
down all over her body. She stuttered, “Just... now... A care worker cto clean... I wanted to get out of bed to get a glass of
water after she left, I never expected... the floor close to the bed to be so slippery... It madefall...”
“A care worker?”
Lola and the attending physician’s abnormal behavior a few moments ago cto Ian’s mind, then there was the appearance of
this care worker. Ian’s instinct told him that this entire thing was a scheme.
However, there was no tto think of such things at the moment.
Ian saw that Laney’s clothing was damp between her legs, indicating her water had broken. She was likely about to have a
premature delivery.

Nothing else mattered, Ian hurriedly pressed the emergency button, and softly comforted Laney, “You need to relax, Mrs.
Harding. Take deep breaths and calm yourself.”
Laney held tight on Ian’s sleeve, as the pain in her abdomen grew more and more intense, making it hard to even speak.
It was only at this point that Lola and the attending physician finally arrived, coming late to the scene. As they watched Laney go
into premature labor after her fall, they both remained calm and kept their composure, as though this was something they had
foreseen.
The physician remained indifferent as he directed a couple of nurses to move Laney to the delivery room He showed zero signs
of panic despite the dire state the patient was in. Watching both the physician and Lola, Ian grew more doubtful. Their calmness
promoted his suspicion that they had been working out this schfrom the beginning to the end.
They purposely kept him out of the way then called on a care worker to clean the area around Laney’s bed, tampering with it to
result in her slipping and going into premature delivery.

However, with Laney’s life hanging in the balance, the only thing Ian could do was hold himself back and silently escort her to the
delivery room.
Before she was rolled into the delivery room, Laney clutched Ian’s sleeve tightly and pleaded, “Call Garrett. Immediately...”
Ian easily nodded and instantly dialed Garrett.

However, he couldn’t reach him, even after dialing a dozen times.
As Lola watched this from the side, her lips curled upwards in a small smile, a hint of self -satisfaction glistening in her eyes.
It appeared that Kailee’s schhad worked perfectly!
Despite multiple tries, Ian wasn’t able to reach Garrett on the phone. He eventually had to give up after dialing for a while.
As Ian lifted his head, he caught sight of Lola s nonchalant expression and couldn’t help but furrow his brows as he warned, “Do
not do anything to aggravate Mrs. Harding, I’m warning you. Don’t tell her I can’t reach Mr. Harding.”
Lola pretended she hadn’t heard Ian speaking. She bent her head and toyed with her phone, covering her disdainful look with
one of indifference.
Laney was all alone with no support now, so what power did Ian have over her? And as Kailee’s plan had succeeded, very soon
Laney would be kicked to the curb.
As Ian could not reach Garrett, he hurriedly phoned Jto pass on the news. “Hey, Ian, is something wrong? How’s Laney?”
Janswered the call instantly.
She had been working on her design, fully focused on the intricate lines in the manuscript as she held the phone between her
cheek and shoulder.
Ian felt a bit of ease as Janet’s sweet voice sounded in his ears. He said nervously, “Mrs. Larson, Mrs. Harding fell and is now in
labor. Could you make your way here as soon as possible?”
“What? Laney fell??” Jwas shocked, and her expression instantly changed when she heard the news. She hurriedly got up
from her chair, knocking over the glass of water on her desk unto her nearly-completed manuscript.
But there was no tfor her to tidy things up at the moment. She quickly phoned the driver and rushed to the hospital.
