Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 272

She was sitting on the bed with joy written all over her face.

Five years ago, her stepmother Alexa's brother Peter Rodriguez took off with nearly half a billion dollars from the Dennis Group.

After blowing most of the money, Peter got greedy and thought he could get more from the Dennis Group.

But this time, instead of getting another half a billion, he was in for some serious legal trouble!

Just now, the cop in charge of the case called her and told her that Peter was already on a flight back home.

The police had set up an ambush at the airport.

As soon as Peter's flight landed, they'd arrest him.

She'd been waiting for this moment for years!

After hanging up, she couldn't calm her excitement.

She wanted to share the good news with her friends, but it was 3 a.m., and she couldn't bother them now.

She got out of bed, left her bedroom, and headed to the kitchen.

Opening the fridge, she saw a few cans of beer.

She grabbed a beer and sat down in the living room.

4 a.m.

The Bourne family.

Elijah's phone rang.

He awoke from his sleep.

Frowning, he grabbed his phone.

He thought he was seeing things when he saw Violette's name.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at the screen again.

He wasn't mistaken. It was Violette calling.

He sat up, not thinking, and answered the call.

She must have something serious going on if she was calling at this hour.

They usually didn't even talk when they saw each other. There's no way she'd call unless something was wrong.

"Hello... Elijah? Happy birthday!" Violette's tipsy voice came through, Elijah relaxed and then tensed up again.

She was drunk!

She wasn't in trouble!

She threw all the beer cans into the trash and got up from the sofa, heading to her bedroom.

"Elijah... I called you... to wish you a happy birthday."

"You already said that."

"Oh... then I wish for you to have a baby soon."

Elijah just listened to her ramblings without getting mad. "No need."

"Don't want kids? Then I'll wish for you to make a lot of money!" Violette stumbled her way back to the bedroom and collapsed on the bed.

Her breathing and body were heavy.

Listening to her breathing, Elijah suddenly had an idea.

He had a question for her.

"Violette, the child you were pregnant with back then, our child, did you really have an abortion?" He asked softly.

Ian looked a bit like him and had the same personality flaws as Makayla.

He always thought of Ian.

If their child wasn't aborted back then, their child's age would match Ian's.
