Chapter 1184 Poisonous Essential Oil
"Really?" Lola said in surprise.
The money Kailee gave to her was not an insignificant amount, otherwise she wouldn't have been so resentful just because Laney refused to take the gift.
In fact, Lola thought Kailee was going to ask for the money back. After all, she didn't expect such generosity from Kailee.
Lola's impression of Kailee became better and better after this. Not only did she think that Kailee had a better family background, but she also thought that Kailee's personality was much more appealing than Laney's. As such, Kailee was much worthier of marrying into the Harding family.
More importantly, if Kailee were to marry into the Harding family, she would gain access to a lot of wealth and resources.
Lola's attitude toward Kailee had been more obsequious as a result of this thought.
To Kailee, people like Lola, who were materialistic and vain, were easy to manipulate as she could use money to persuade them to work for her.
"You may not have done it successfully, but you still put in the effort. You deserve this money," said Kailee.
She let out a long sigh before adding, "Laney is not in a good mood right now and she's being hostile toward me. She doesn't want to accept my apology, and I can understand that. But I couldn't just sit here and do nothing, so I was wondering if you could help me with something."
As Lola responded with a confused stare, Kailee continued, "The hospital recently acquired a new set of essential oils that help pregnant women relax. Since Laney hasn't been in a good mood lately.
I think this set of oils would help her feel better. Could I trouble you to leave these in Laney's room for me, please?"
"Well..." Lola hesitated.
While she favored Kailee, Lola couldn't help feeling panicked when she discovered that the health tonics Kailee asked her to deliver contained components to which Laney was allergic. After all, she was only an assistant and didn't want to be held accountable if something went wrong.
Sensing Lola's hesitation, Kailee quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, these oils have been tested and approved by the hospital. It's been used by every VIP pregnant woman here. Besides, all you need to do is put it in Laney's room. I'll pay you for your troubles."
As soon as Lola heard that there was money to be earned, she was immediately interested and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely get it done."
Malice filled Kailee's eyes as she hung up the phone and a venomous smile appeared on her face. In her delusional mind, the position of the Harding family's future matriarch belonged to her and her alone.
Kailee arched her brow and glared arrogantly at the attending physician in front of her. "When is Laney due to deliver her baby?" she inquired.
"There are still two more months left," the attending physician stated truthfully.
Kailee rolled her eyes and let out a cold sneer. "Can the essential oils that the hospital recently acquired help induce labor for pregnant women?" she asked. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
As it turned out, the oils Kailee had asked Lola to put in Laney's ward were not relaxing essential oils, but medicinal oil with the purpose of inducing labor. The attending physician broke out in a cold
sweat after hearing Kailee's words. "But, inducing labor might be harmful for Mrs. Harding," the physician said.
"Just do as I say. I'll accept full responsibility for any repercussions," Kailee snarled at the doctor.
Kailee didn't care about the risks at this point. She was determined to make sure that Garrett wasn't around when Laney gave birth so that she could carry out her plan more easily.
If something bad were to happen to Laney, Kailee would swoop in and take the opportunity to become Garrett's wife. By that time, the Gibson family's esteem would also improve with the power and wealth of the Harding family.
"Also, make sure to tell Garrett and Laney about their original due date," Kailee instructed with concern. "We can't let them find out that the essential oil has labor-inducing effects. Do you understand me?"
The attending physician was trembling with fear, but as Kailee was the owner of the hospital, the physician didn't dare to disobey her. "I understand," he replied.
With the doctor's assurance, Kailee stared out the window at the soaring birds, her grin turning colder.
