The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 722

Without sparing a glance at the baby, Natalie brushed past the nurse and rushed into the delivery room.

Laney lay on the operating table, her face ghostly white and her sweat-soaked hair clinging to her forehead. Natalie’s heart ached at the sight of her dear friend, so worn and fragile.

“Natalie, have you seen our baby? Isn’t she adorable?” Laney tried to sit up, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

“Stay still!” Natalie scolded gently. “You need to rest. You’re a mother now, and your little girl is absolutely perfect.” Hearing her baby was healthy, Laney sighed with relief.

Exhausted, she fought to stay awake, her thoughts consumed by Garrett.

“Where is Garrett? Hasn’t he arrived yet?” she asked, struggling to keep her eyes open. Natalie’s heart twisted with sympathy as she searched for comforting words.

Unbeknownst to her, Lola had silently followed. Seizing her opportunity, Lola interjected, “I contacted Mr. Harding. He said he’s too busy to come back and told you to take care of yourself.”

Her voice dripped with malicious satisfaction. “What did you say?” Laney’s face crumpled with disbelief and anguish. She couldn’t fathom Garrett’s cold indifference towards her and their child.

“Pay her no mind!” Natalie cut Lola off. Whirling around, she fixed Lola with a fierce glare. “Get out!”

Lola, cowed by Natalie’s intensity, muttered her discontent but retreated without further provocation.

“Natalie… Did Garrett really say that?” Laney clung to Natalie, her voice pleading.

Natalie quickly denied, “No, don’t listen to Lola’s lies. We’ve made contact with him and he is on his way over right now. He also asked us to take good care of you till he gets here.” Compared to Lola, Laney naturally trusted Natalie more. Hearing this, she finally relaxed. However, the next second, a wave of intense pain once again swept through her entire body.
