Chapter 1228 Laney Had Left

As soon as Garrett finished his work in the company, he bought Laney’s favorite desserts and drove to

the hospital.

He was determined to get Laney’s forgiveness.

However, Garrett was stunned when he pushed the door open to her ward.

The afternoon sunshine shone through the open window into the empty ward. The wind had diluted the

scent of disinfectant. The quilt on the bed was neatly folded as if the room had been vacant for a long

time.

The only proof that someone had stayed here was the lonely bouquet of flowers he had put in the vase

a few days ago, swaying in the wind.

Garrett stared blankly at the empty ward, dropping the desserts he bought on the floor. His assistant

double-checked the ward number and scanned the room again. He asked in confusion, “We are at the

right ward, so why isn’t Mrs. Harding here?”

Garrett ignored his assistant.

He stared blankly at a piece of note that had been blown up by the wind, slowly gliding to the ground.

His l*egs felt heavy as he walked into the ward to pick up the note.

“I won’t return to the Harding family. I have taken my baby with me to another place. I will send you a

message once we settle down. But if the Hardings insist on taking my baby away from me, we will

move somewhere you will never find. Laney.”

Garrett felt his heart aching instantly from the parting with his wife and child.

He expected Laney would propose to leave, but he didn’t expect her to leave so decisively.

He thought he would have time to persuade her to stay.

When his assistant read the note, he was also stunned. “Mr. Harding… Do you need me to send

someone to investigate Mrs. Harding’s whereabouts? She couldn’t have gone far,” he suggested in

concern.

“No, it’s okay. Let her go,” Garrett said, shaking his head calmly.

He knew that Laney must have been extremely disappointed with him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have

left Barnes without fully recuperating. If he chased her, it would only backfire.

Moreover, Laney didn’t have many friends in Barnes. He was certain that Janet had helped her.

Otherwise, she couldn’t leave Barnes quietly without him noticing.

With Janet protecting her, it wouldn’t be easy for Garrett to find her.

Garrett asked his assistant to go back first, while he sat on the bed and looked at the note again and

again.

He pictured the scene when Laney left. How heartbroken and disappointed she must have felt.

Why was Laney so determined to leave? She didn’t even give him a chance to say goodbye.

Garrett couldn’t resist the urge to find out news about Laney. He just needed to know her current

situation. Just that little information could put him at ease.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he dialed Brandon’s number.

Meanwhile, Brandon received Garrett’s call and wasn’t surprised. He had been expecting Garrett’s call

to ask about Laney as soon as Garrett found out she had left.

“I won’t tell you where she is,” Brandon immediately said when he answered the phone.

Garrett smiled bitterly and replied, “I didn’t call to ask about her whereabouts.”

Raising his eyebrows, Brandon asked in surprise, “Then why did you call?”

“Did Laney bring Ian with her when she left?” Garrett replied calmly.

Brandon had expected Garrett to be blaming him. Instead, Garrett’s irrelevant question surprised him.

He was a little stunned but answered, “Yes.”

Garrett cheered up a little and said, “That’s good. Ian is a very professional assistant. As long as he is

with her, I’m relieved.”

Brandon got even more surprised as Garrett’s response was far beyond his expectation.

He knew that Garrett disliked Ian. He never expected Garrett to be so calm to have Laney alone with

Ian.

It seemed Garrett had really matured.

Unaware of Brandon’s thoughts, Garrett said in a downcast tone, “Please tell Laney that I won’t force

her. I will give her time to calm down. And I hope she can give me an opportunity. I will settle the

problems with the Harding family.”
