The doctor frowned as he examined Laney and checked her blood pressure and blood sugar.
Looking at the readings on the sphygmomanometer and glucometer, the doctor frowned deeper. He looked at Vera and said, âHer condition is indeed not good.â
Laney was anxious that her deception would be discovered.Her anxiety rose though when she saw the doctor looking so serious.Õ¼Ö ÊÉÊÖ Ê.ÆÖ Ê 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 wouldnât be a hindrance to Garrettâs career.
She didnât want anything untoward thing to happen.
âSo what is it, Doctor? Whatâs wrong with her?â Vera asked as she nervously gripped her handkerchief.
âShe is malnourished and anemic,â the doctor concluded after reviewing the data on the devices.
âShe might miscarry if you donât 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.
âSo, what should we do know?â Vera asked.
âIâll list some dos and donâts for you as this is a crucial time for her.Donât be too hard on her diet.You need to understand the pregnant womanâs predicament.Her husband should also involve himself more to accompany her and ease her emotions.â
He wrinkled his nose and added, âKeep her away from strong scents like perfumes.â
Looking now at Kelly, the doctor explained, âPregnant 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.â
âDid you hear that?â Vera said as she turned to look at Kelly.
âFrom now on, you wonât be coming here.Youâll take care of the companyâs affairs in the office.So, leave!â
Kelly couldnât believe what she was hearing.She twitched her mouth.She was furious, but she hid it well it.
Vera was determined to follow the doctorâs 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 Laneyâs health was the most important thing for Vera.
Laney could learn her manners as a proper lady later.
âDoctor, could you please prescribe some medication to prevent a miscarriage?â
Vera had calmed down after realizing that things werenât so bad and that a solution was possible.
Helped by a maid, Laney made a gradual ascent to the second floor.She gave the doctor a curious glance.
The fact that the doctor, whom she didnât know, would assist her, surprised her.
A lovely cake was on her table when she went back to the room.Her phone rang as she was wondering who had placed the cake there.
âSo youâre back in our room.â
Garrettâs voice was somewhat cheery.
âJust now,â Laney replied.
âHow did you know? Is there a camera installed in our room now?â
How then could Garrett know what was she doing? Garrett chuckled.
âNo, there isnât.l just can see everything when it concerns you.â
And in a gentle tone, he added. âKidding aside, I asked a maid to bring you your favorite cake.Eat it and then have a good sleep.â
Laney was touched by her husbandâs thoughtfulness.She was speechless as she stared at the cake on the table.
âBy the way, did the trick I showed you work?â
Garrett asked after getting no answer from her.
Laney remembered Garrett telling her thal Vera actually had a lender heal and a great love for kids.
Given that, Vera would stop blaming her when she saw that Laney looked like she was not feeling well.
âIt worked,â Laney said as she cut a small piece of cake, but she no longer had the appetite for it.
A moment passed as she collected herself.
âThe doctor examined me.He informed us that the baby might really be in danger.â she said in troubled voice.
âOh, Garrett, Iâm scared.â
âLaney!â Garrett said, laughing.
âDonât worry about that.Our baby is very healthy.l arranged everything with the doctor after leaving the restaurant.He works for me.He agreed to my idea since he thought it was in your best interests.Of course, he will assist you if you are really unwell or in need of anything.He will take care of your wellbeing.â
Laney couldnât believe Garrett would be able to pull this charade off.More so, she was surprised that he would be so considerate of her.
âYou seem to have changed a lot.â
Garrett, if anything, became more steady.
Garrett was smart, but he used to be a little unreliable.He was incredibly immature and always had unrealistic thoughts.
âOf course, Iâve changed,â Garrett said in a reassuring tone.
âNow that Iâm a father, I wonât stand by while my wife and child are treated unfairly.â
He continued, âGo eat something.I have a meeting here, but Iâll call you later and say good night to you.â
When Laney heard this, she smiled warmly and nodded while still holding her phone.She felt her appetite coming back so she picked up the cake on the table after hanging up the phone.She ate five or six slices in one sitting.
Outside the Harding mansion.
Vera herself sent off the doctor.She was surprised to see Kelly still there when she came back inside the house.

Vera felt like having a headache when she saw Kelly.
In a respectful tone, Kelly said, âMrs.Harding, I just want to explain to you what really happened today.âShe followed Vera who walked into the garden.
Vera took a few breaths of some of the floral-scented air.She felt calmed by this before she sat down on the stone bench.
Without looking at Kelly, she said, âYou went too far today, do you know that? You must remember that Laney is pregnant with a Harding child.You shouldnât make things difficult for her.You simply have not right to do that.â
Kelly knew that she couldnât afford to antagonize Vera, and so she apologized submissively, âI know, maâam, but I was thinking about the shareholdersâ meeting.I know how important it is.â
