Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 548

Time was ticking away, and the sky was growing darker. The rain was starting to fall. Although it wasn't heavy, it was enough to make you uneasy.

"Ms. Dennis, the potion's cooled down," came a voice.

Violette snapped back to reality, walked over to the wooden barrel, and checked the temperature of the potion with her hand.

"Put the body in," she ordered.

"Oh... just drop the corpse in like that, won't it rot?" asked Silver King's assistant. "Ms. Dennis, can you really bring the dead back to life?"

Violette shot him a cold look. "You are doubting me?"

"I'm just curious."

Violette said solemnly, "This is a secret potion. The body won't rot."

Seeing her serious demeanor, the assistant didn't question any further. A few bodyguards lifted the corpse and placed it in the barrel.

Violette noticed the varying degrees of panic on their faces. No matter how beautiful this woman had been in life, her corpse from over a decade ago wouldn't be appreciated by anyone. It was not the dead that were scary; it was the fear of the unknown that was terrifying.

"Ms. Dennis, what do we do now?" the assistant asked.

"Wait," Violette replied calmly, standing by the barrel.

The assistant seemed puzzled. "Wait for what?"

"Wait for her to come back to life," Violette added. She felt somewhat fearful and glanced out the window, whispering, "Doesn't the room seem a bit dark? Turn on the lights."

The assistant found her a bit eccentric but signaled to the bodyguards, nonetheless.

A bodyguard went to turn on the light, but the chandelier hanging from the ceiling didn't light up when the switch was flipped. Violette watched this scene, a glimmer of hope igniting within her.

Silver King had the same suspicion. The most critical problem now was that without power, he felt like he was blind. Angrily, he roared, "Where are the emergency lights?."

The assistant turned on the flashlight of his phone. "The emergency system was also sabotaged. The technician said he'll fix it as soon as possible."

"What a bunch of incompetent idiots. Were all the backup power supplies sabotaged?." Silver King was furious.

"Yes, they were. Even if they sabotaged our power supply, we have Violette. There's no need to be afraid," the assistant said nervously.

Soon, they reached the second floor.

"Violette. Is your man coming to rescue you tonight?" Silver King taunted, pulling out a handgun, "Think you can get out of here alive?"

His only response was silence.
