The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 742

Unwilling to back down, Vera’s face flushed with anger. “I didn’t come here to argue with you,” she gritted her teeth and said. “Step aside. I need to take my grandchild away.”

“She is my daughter! Why do you think you have the right to take her away?” Garrett snapped back, his anger building.

Kailee put on a tone of guilt and said, “It’s my fault. I upset Laney, and she moved to another hospital last night.”

Vera was shocked and asked, “Laney transferred to another hospital? What happened?”
