Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 108

The villa sat halfway up the hill.

There was a pretty smooth road from the bottom to the halfway mark, perfect for driving right up to the villa.

But anything above that, there was no road.

By the time Elijah started his climb, night had already fallen.

He turned on the flashlight on his phone and began to climb quickly.

He was worried about Violette.

Derek was up to no good and he feared he might be late to save her.

If he had known Derek was this sneaky, he would never have let her come alone.

After about half an hour, he was gasping for breath and his legs began to give him hell.

He had been warned by the doctor not to engage in any strenuous activities for the next six months.

His legs could barely handle a simple walk, let alone a long one.

And a mountain climb that would wear out his knees? That was a big no-no. It was way too risky.

In the dark, with the chilly wind howling and the trees rustling, he stopped because of the intense pain in his legs.

He tried to call his bodyguards from his contact list, b

ut there was no signal on his phone.

Technically, he could descend the mountain. His strength would allow for that.

But not once did he entertain that thought.

He endured the discomfort and continued his climb.

He had to find Violette and get her safely down the mountain.

However, disaster struck when he missed a step.

His legs hurt so bad that he missed a step, lost his balance and fell backward.

As he fell, the image that flashed in his mind wasn’t fear, wasn’t death, but Violette’s face.

Violette in all her moods.

Only then did fear grip him.

He was scared that Derek could harm Violette!
