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.”

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