The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 719

The attending physician was trembling with fear, but as Kailee was the owner of the hospital, the physician didn’t dare to disobey her. “I understand,” he replied.

With the doctor’s assurance, Kailee stared out the window at the soaring birds, her grin turning colder.

A few days later, the time came again for Laney’s prenatal check-up.

Garrett arrived at the hospital quite early in order to be with her during the check-up, but was still too late. By the time he got there, Ian had already accompanied Laney, and they were awaiting the results.

“Sorry I’m late.” Garrett walked over and held Laney’s hand, asking with concern, “How’d the exam go? Is our baby healthy?”

“We haven’t gotten the results yet,” Laney replied with a gentle smile, not at all upset by Garrett’s tardiness.

She knew that he was doing his best for her and the baby.

At that moment, Laney’s attending physician came over with the report and looked at her. Feeling a bit of nervous, he lowered his eyes and glanced at the report in his hand. “Mrs. Harding, you and the baby are both healthy. There are no issues at all.”

“When’s the due date?” Garrett asked anxiously. The Harding Group had grown rapidly in the recent years, with many business issues to attend to. That was why Garrett had been hectic these days. Even with his wife delivering a baby, Garrett still needed to consider the timing and align his schedule with it.

“The due date is around the 15th of the month after next,” the physician replied. His eyes fl**kered nervously as he kept his head lowered. Garrett didn’t notice the physician’s unusual behavior and instead took a look at his busy work schedule.

After confirming that he would be free around the due date, the huge knot he’d felt in his heart quickly dissipated. “Our baby chose the perfect time to arrive. I’ll be back from a business trip on that exact day, and won’t have to leave after that. I’ll stay with you at the hospital for the delivery,” Garrett said to Laney with relief.

The physician’s eyes fl**kered some more upon hearing this, and he said, “I’ll take my leave now. Please contact me if you need anything.”
