Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 583

Elijah paused for a moment before asking, “Did she tell Violette about this?”

Ramsey replied, “No, she hasn’t mentioned it to Violette yet.”

“Why?” Elijah wondered, trying to understand why Odette had come to him.

Ramsey hesitated before admitting, “Odette came to see you today to tell you that there might be a problem with Violette’s pregnancy. She accompanied Violette to the hospital earlier.”

A lump formed in Elijah’s throat as he absorbed the information. The light in his eyes was dimming.

“Her mood was probably affected by this news, which is why she came to see you in such a hurry,” Ramsey tried to explain on Odette’s behalf. “Odette means well.”

“I see,” Elijah muttered, and ended the call.

There was a problem with the baby. Their baby. But Violette hadn’t told him about it. Would she keep it a secret if Odette hadn’t come to him?

The thought tortured Elijah. He moved towards the banquet hall entrance as if in a daze.

“Elijah, the dinner is about to start. Where are you going?” Melinda asked, coming up to his side and holding onto his arm.

He shook off her hand, barking, “Leave me alone!”

He walked away, leaving Melinda staring at his retreating back. Her heart ached. She didn’t need to guess. He was definitely going to find Violette.

Odette must come to him with news about Violette.

...

Elijah stepped out of the car and made his way to the front door, pressing the doorbell. As the doorbell rang, Violette had just finished dinner. She walked out of the dining room and looked towards the front door.

There stood Elijah, in a white shirt and black pants, calmly waiting in the twilight. His dark eyes were locked onto her as soon as she appeared.

Her heart pounded against her ribcage. Why was he here? Did he... know?

She stood frozen at the door, prompting him to press the doorbell again. The insistent ringing threw her into a panic. After taking a deep breath, she moved towards him.

Not wanting his presence to disturb the kids at dinner, she opened the door and stepped outside.

“Violette, there’s a problem with the baby. Why didn’t you tell me?” He gripped her wrist tightly. His emotions were on the verge of spiraling out of control.

“What’s the point of telling you?” Violette retorted. “So you could accompany me to an abortion clinic?”
