I had put all my strength behind that slap . Soon , a clear handprint appeared on Garrett's face . He pressed his lips tightly together , his suspicious gaze fixed on my face , as if trying to determine whether my words were true or false . But in that moment , I had no energy to argue with him . All my strength drained away as I slumped to the floor , my gaze fixed obsessively on the operating room light . Seeing me like this , Garrett took a deep breath and turned to ask Rylee : " What the hell is going on ? " Rylee bit her lip , and tears quickly welled up in her eyes . " Mr. Garrett , if you don't trust me , I'll just resign and leave . " But she hadn't expected Garrett , who usually gave her everything she wanted , to let out a bitter laugh . His scrutinizing gaze landed directly on her face . He asked again , his voice lower : " Rylee , I'm asking you one more time - what the fuck is going on ! " " I made you CFO , but I never gave you permission to freeze my wife's cards ! " Rylee's face instantly went white . She swallowed hard , her lips trembling as tears streamed down her face . After a long pause , she finally whispered through her sobs : " I didn't do it on purpose . " " Garrett , I just wanted Juniper to come apologize to me . You know she was mean to me that day . " " But is this really all my fault ? " " If Juniper had just swallowed her pride earlier , if she'd come to me sooner , how was I supposed to know the baby's medication had been stopped ? " She sobbed uncontrollably . But with her words , she pushed all the blame onto me . " Garrett , I didn't mean for this to happen . Please don't be so harsh with me . " Garrett irritably tugged at his tie , his gaze falling on me . Only then did he notice the unnatural flush covering my face . He took a step forward , just in time to see me collapse straight to the ground . The next second , Garrett's panicked voice rang out : " Doctor ! " 119s in Court for EVERYTHING 3.6 % Chapter 7 " Juni , wake up ! Don't scare me ! " " Doctor , hurry ! " I felt like I'd been sleeping for a very , very long time .

" " You two will always be my treasures . " I looked at him with ice - cold eyes , my voice dripping with sarcasm . " Liar . " When I woke up , I was in an empty hospital room with an IV needle in the back of my hand . I stared at it blankly for a while before my scattered consciousness finally returned . Remembering what had happened before , I ripped out the needle and rolled out of bed , rushing toward the operating room . When I reached the OR , my daughter's surgery had long since ended . I swayed unsteadily , standing there with my chest feeling like it had a gaping hole with cold wind whistling through it . I walked to the doctor's office in a daze . The moment I saw my daughter's attending physician , tears instantly streamed down my face . I opened my mouth but couldn't make a sound . Seeing my condition , the doctor quickly helped me sit down on a nearby chair . " Mrs. Ashford , don't worry . " " The baby is out of danger , but there are some tests we can't perform here . The hospital has arranged for her to go elsewhere for testing " The massive weight on my heart finally settled back into place .
