Chapter 1220 I Will Never Love You

“Garrett! Stop!”

Laney stood in front of Ian, her gaze brimming with disappointment as it fell on Garrett. “If you want to

hit someone, hit me. I was the one who decided to come here,” she said.

Garrett’s fist hung suspended in mid-air. “Laney…” he started, but his voice trailed off without another

word.

Laney didn’t bother lingering on him for long, and turned to Kailee with a calm gaze. “Kailee, no matter

how much you want my husband, you should never use a child as a bargaining chip. A kid is not some

object or tool for you to use as you see fit.”

Kailee answered with a snort, making a mockery of Laney’s righteous words. Laney’s eyes fell on

Kailee’s stomach, a chuckle coming out of her.

“Still, we have yet to see if you really are pregnant, haven’t we? And even if you really are, there are

plenty of ways to find out the child’s true paternity. You can’t fake something like this,” she said.

Kailee’s face twisted into an unpleasant expression. “And what exactly do you mean by that?” she

demanded.

But Laney paid no attention to her, and instead turned to Garrett with a tired expression. Deep sorrow

filled her eyes, sharp and penetrating in its silence.

Garrett felt his heart lurch as he met her gaze. Her eyes told him all he needed to know. Laney no

longer believed in him.

“Let’s go, Ian,” she said in a calm voice that betrayed none of the hurt in her eyes. She turned away

from Garrett and walked away without looking back.

“Laney!” Garrett called out in a panicked voice. His feet were already going after her, but Kailee

grabbed onto him. “Garrett! Please don’t leave. Listen. I love you. I really love you. Now that I’m

pregnant with your child, we can start a new family and be happy together!”

Uncaring of other people, Kailee clung to him in a desperate embrace, fervently declaring her affection.

“Get the f*uc*k off me! Let me go!” Garrett wrenched himself free from Kailee and forced her away.

“I don’t care if you’re pregnant. I will never accept this child!” Kailee fell to the ground from the impact.

She could no longer muster any semblance of gracefulness or composure as she frantically grasped at

Garrett’s shin, tears running down her face.

“Garrett, please!” she begged. “Don’t leave me! I love you! I can’t live without you!”

But Garrett had no interest in listening to her pained confession. He kicked her hand away and bent

down to meet her gaze. The coldness in his voice sent shivers through Kailee. “Listen carefully, Kailee.

I don’t love you. I never have, and I never will. If you’re really pregnant, get rid of the child. You will only

be putting yourself and the kid through hell if you don’t. Do yourself a favor. There is nothing you can

do to change my mind, so give up on me.” The sound of Kailee’s sobbing came to an abrupt halt.

Devoid of emotion, she stared dumbly at the loathing in Garrett’s eyes, her heart sinking in despair.

She had finally understood that this man will never ever turn her way.

Garrett stood up straight and looked at Kailee. His eyes narrowed in disgust as if piece of trash on the

sidewalk. “Your family will pay for your misdeed. Just wait and see,” he said.

With that, he turned around and left the crumpled woman by herself.

Kailee could only watch Garrett’s receding figure as he walked away. She collapsed to the ground,

wails ripped out of her.

Laney returned to the ward. She didn’t want to stay at this hospital for another second.

Whenever she closed her eyes, all she could see was the image of Kailee presenting the pregnancy

test report to Garrett. Tremors ran through her like aftereffects.

She had never imagined that her husband would have a child with another woman. It had shaken her

to her core.

Knowing Laney’s state, Janet had already arranged for Ian to find a new hospital. A ward had already

been prepared at the new hospital. If Laney wanted, she could move there any time. She could be

away from all of this, and she would be safe from Kailee.

Upon arriving at her room, Laney told Ian to pack her things.

Laney had not spoken another word ever since they left the VIP ward. Ian looked at her in concern and

offered words of comfort, “Mrs. Harding, please don’t take it too hard. It was all that woman’s doing. Mr.

Harding got tricked. There is no way he would betray you of his own accord.”

Laney’s voice came out thick and heavy, her tears threatening to spill again. “I know,” she answered.

Ian hesitated for a moment, then continued, “Kailee is the sort of person who would do whatever it

takes to get what she wants. It’s very likely that the whole pregnancy was made up.”
