Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom

Chapter 2

Under the dazzling crystal chandelier, Elijah's eyes sparkled like gems, filled with a touch of mystery

and danger.

As usual, it was a sight that sent chills down people’s spine.

Kaleb looked absolutely petrified, and hastily backed away, "Violette...err, I mean...auntie, it's getting

late, I won't disturb you and Uncle anymore!"

Sweat was pouring down Kaleb's face as he stumbled and bolted out of the master bedroom.

Seeing him leave in such haste made Violette's heart skip a beat, her body trembling involuntarily.

Was Elijah awake?!

Wasn't he supposed to be a goner?

She wanted to speak to him, but words failed her. She wanted to get closer, but her feet felt glued to

the floor.

Fear of the unknown crept in and she retreated, running downstairs and shouting, "Lacey, Elijah's

awake! He opened his eyes!"

Hearing this, Lacey rushed upstairs.

"Ma'am, the master opens his eyes every day. But that doesn't mean he's awake. See, we're talking in

front of him and he's not responding," Lacey sighed, "Doctors say the chances of a vegetative person

regaining consciousness are slim."

Violette was still frightened, "Can I sleep with the lights on tonight? I'm a bit scared."

"Sure. You should get some rest. You still have to go to Old Manor in the morning. I'll wake you up."

Lacey said.

"Okay." Violette said.

After Lacey left, Violette changed into her pajamas, and climbed into bed.

She sat by his side, looking at Elijah's handsome face, waving her hand in front of him. She asked,

"Elijah, what are you thinking?"

But there was no response.

Her heart sank. Her pain seemed trivial compared to his condition.

"Elijah, I hope you can wake up. You have so much wealth. You wouldn't want that bastard Kaleb to get

his hands on it." Violette said.

As soon as she finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes.

She stared at him, her heart pounding. Some vegetative patients were conscious, so, did he hear her?

Violette felt uneasy, lying next to him. After what felt like an eternity, she heard herself sighing. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

She was Mrs. Bourne now, no one dared to mess with her. But what would the Bourne family do to her

if he died?

She was nervous.

She had to reclaim everything she lost while she was still Mrs. Bourne! Make those who bullied her pay

the price!

...

The next day.

Eight in the morning.

Lacey took Violette to Old Manor to visit Grace.

All members of the Bourne family were present. Violette greeted each elder as she entered the living

room.

The old lady looked at Violette, feeling more pleased by the minute. An obedient girl like her was easier

to control.

"Violette, how did you sleep last night?" Grace asked.

Violette blushed slightly, "Good."

"How's Elijah? Did he disturb you?" Grace asked.

Violette thought of Elijah's handsome yet lifeless face, and felt a pang of regret, "He didn't move at all."

He was immobile, but his body was still warm. She used him as a pillow in her sleep and woke up in

the middle of the night hugging him, which gave her quite a scare.

"Violette, I have a gift for you," the old lady said, opening a purple box and handing it to her, "This

bracelet should complement your skin tone, do you like it?"

Violette didn't dare to refuse the old lady's kindness in front of everyone and immediately accepted it, "I

love it, thank you."

"Violette, I know you might be uncomfortable. Given Elijah's condition, he can't take care of you. But, I

have a way for you to benefit," the old lady revealed her plan, "Elijah might not have much time left. He

was always busy with work, never had time for relationships or even a child."

Hearing this, Violette's heart raced.

A child?

Did the old lady want her to have Elijah's baby?

"I hope you can have a child for Elijah, to carry on his lineage." Grace said.

As soon as the old lady's words fell, Violette was dumbfounded, and the others also showed surprised

expressions.

"Mom, Elijah has been sick for so long, he probably can't have children anymore, right?" Elijah's older

brother, Travis Bourne, raised a doubt.

Even though Elijah was still alive, everyone had already started thinking about his inheritance.

The old lady smiled, "I'm saying this because I've already had the doctor prepare. Elijah's fortune is so

vast, how can there be no one to inherit it? I hope Violette can have a child for Elijah."

All eyes were suddenly on Violette.
