Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom

Chapter 16

"Violette, who told you he's into another woman? Where did you get that from? Do you know what's the

woman's name?" Melinda started to feel uneasy inside.

She still believed that there would be no other woman beside Elijah, but her.

Violette shook her head: "Melinda, it was just my two cents... You know Elijah better than I do."

After calming down a bit, she changed her tune.

She noticed that Elijah's situation was far from simple, and she didn't want to get involved.

She just wanted to live a chill life, had her kid, and that was it.

"I thought you saw Elijah with another woman with your own eyes! You scared the hell out of me."

Melinda accepted Violette's explanation, and her mood relaxed, "Elijah is not the guy you think he is.

He doesn't like women, or kids."

Violette casually asked: "Do you know why he doesn't like kids?"

"To be honest, I don't know. I'm not interested in knowing why, if he doesn't like it, I won't do it, it's that

simple." Melinda's eyebrows furrowed slightly as if talking to herself, "He's not that bad to me, actually."

"As long as you're happy." Violette had given up on changing her mind.

Everyone had their own choices, as long as they can bear the consequences of that choice.

Violette thought Melinda was a bit silly, but she decided to have a child with Elijah, which might also

seem silly to others.

Then, their food came.

Violette was really hungry, so she picked up her utensils and started eating.

Melinda was in a funk, with no appetite: "Violette, are you sure you're not in love with Elijah?"

Violette nodded, "Sure."

Melinda was confused: "Why? He's so great, so attractive."

Violette looked at her: "If I had to choose between you and him, I'd rather choose you." At least this

way, she won't get hurt.

Melinda was shocked by her words, "Violette, you..."

Violette waved her hand: "I'm just giving an example. As long as you get what I mean."

Melinda relaxed completely, and found Violette much more agreeable.

Thinking about Violette's father's death, the bankruptcy of her family's company, and now she was all

alone in the Dennis family, Melinda couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

"Violette, you haven't graduated from college yet, right?"

"Graduating next year." Violette took a sip of water.

"Ah, I heard about your dad's company. Your dad is dead, his debts have nothing to do with you. You

just need to take care of your studies and life." Melinda gave her a piece of advice, "Your dad owed so

much debt, where are you going to get that much money? Don't kill yourself over it."

Violette lowered her head, without saying a word.

Almost everyone advised her to give up the Dennis Group.

Close to a billion in debt, it was no small sum.

Including her mom, who also advised her to give up.

But, the deputy always whispered in her ear about how great the company's new products were, that

as long as they could get through this hard time, things would only get better.

She was torn every day.

At the end of lunch, Melinda picked up the tab early.

Because they ordered all vegetables, it didn't cost much, and Violette didn't fight for the bill.

"Violette, can I have your contact?" After paying, Melinda walked up to Violette and made the proposal.

Violette refused: "I don't think it's necessary. I will be divorcing Elijah soon, and we won't have anything

to do with each other in the future."

Melinda was disappointed to be rejected.

But thinking that she won't have anything to do with her in the future, it gave her a sense of relief.

"Yes, the person who will be with Elijah in the future will be me, only me." Melinda's eyes briefly swept

over her face, and after saying this, she left in her high heels.

......

Two thirty in the afternoon.

Violette got all her test results and found the doctor.

The doctor looked at her results and adjusted his glasses.

"Good, all the results are normal. But... it seems like you're having twins!"

Violette was stunned.

"Do you still want to terminate the pregnancy now?" The doctor asked with a smile, "The chances of

having twins are as low as winning the lottery. You've hit the jackpot!"

Violette's emotions were in a whirl, she felt extremely excited yet overwhelmed at the same time.

Twins!

She had only heard about twins, but had never seen them in real life.

"I should remind you, if you want to terminate the pregnancy, it's best to do it within three months, the

bigger the fetuses are becoming, the greater the risk is. It's very cruel for not only you, but also the

children. For instance, now the children have already taken shape in your belly..." The doctor reminded

her.

"Doctor, I'm not aborting. I'll have them." At that moment, Violette made her decision.

"Okay, just fill out these information cards."

When she left the hospital, it was already four in the afternoon.

Maybe it was because she got up early today and didn't take a nap, so she was feeling drowsy now.

The scenery, people, and cars in front of her seemed blurry, and she couldn't see clearly.

She hailed a taxi on the street, went home, and went straight to her room to have a good sleep.

By the time she woke up, it was already night.

She sat blankly on the bed, her mind was empty, and so was her stomach.

She knew she was hungry, but her body was sluggish.

Her phone rang suddenly, and she picked it up.

"Violette, have you contacted the clients on the list I gave you?" Reaves' voice came from the other end

of the phone.

Violette lowered her eyes and took a deep breath: "Not yet. I'll do it tomorrow!"

Reaves: "It's the weekend tomorrow! It's better not to bother people on the weekend. It's better to call

tonight!"

Violette: "Okay."

Reaves: "Should I send you the list again?"

Violette: "No need, I've got it."

Reaves: "Then remember to contact them tonight, act sincerely, you must..."

"Alright, I got it. I'm gonna grab a bite first."

Reaves: "Where are you living now? I heard your house is up for sale."

Violette glanced at the guest room she was living in and replied, "I'm renting. Don't worry about me, I'm

doing fine."

Reaves: "Alright, Violette, I'm looking forward to hearing good news from you."

After a dinner with no appetite, Violette returned to her room. She started calling one by one according

to the contact information on the list.

As soon as most people heard her name, they rejected her outright without waiting for her to finish,

then hung up the phone.

So, she finished making all the calls in just twenty minutes.

All rejected.

No one had hope for the new product of the Dennis Group.

A sense of failure surged before she even started to try.

Was she really going to give up?

If she gave up, then the Dennis Group might disappear completely.

But if she didn't, what measures could she take?

Suddenly, she felt stifled in the room, almost unbearable.

She grabbed a long coat and left the room.

The living room was empty, the whole villa was as silent as if someone had hit the pause button.

She wrapped herself in the coat and walked out of the villa.

The night wind blew her hair wildly.

It was cold.

Bone-chilling cold.

She walked aimlessly towards the streetlight, and suddenly, memories came flooding back.

In others' eyes, she was the rich girl of the Dennis Group, free from all material worries.

But no one knew how many times she had been caught in the rain, how many cold meals she had

eaten, how many sick nights she had spent uncared for.

A black Rolls-Royce drove into the neighbourhood

, and slowed down until it stopped.

Elijah slowly opened his eyes and saw that,

outside the car window, under the dim streetlight, a small figure crouched by the road, hugging her

knees. Her shoulders were shaking slightly from crying.
