The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 720

She drifted off without realizing it.

When she woke up, the room was eerily silent, much like the mornings when Lance would take Lanny out of bed before she woke.

But as she turned her head, Lanny was right there.

Catherine checked her phone—it was past ten. She bolted upright, leaning close to examine Lanny and holding a hand under his nose.

Feeling the warm puff of breath, she let out a massive sigh of relief.

Why was he still sleeping?

Catherine grabbed her phone and texted Alexa, asking her to come upstairs.

A moment later, footsteps approached, and Alexa pushed the door open.

"You're awake? I made breakfast earlier, but saw you sleeping, so I didn't want to disturb you."

Alexa carried a breakfast tray with a fresh sandwich and a glass of warm milk.

Catherine took it and set it aside. "What time did Lanny go to sleep last night? Why is he still out cold?"

"He probably just missed you. He woke up a few times, so he didn't sleep well," Alexa smoothly offered her prepared excuse.

"He scared me to death. I thought he was sick."

Catherine was hyper-vigilant about every little detail concerning Lanny.

Alexa offered a reassuring smile. "Don't worry. Eat your breakfast."

Catherine nodded, slipping out of bed to wash her face before returning to eat.

Finally, nearing eleven o'clock, Lanny stirred. He stretched his chubby little arms, whining and fussing as he demanded his bottle.
