Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 3

She was sweating bullets.

"Violette, you're still in school, right? If you get pregnant now, it will definitely mess with your studies..." started Travis's wife.-

Travis chimed in, "Yeah, Violette is still so young, she might not be ready to ditch school and stay home popping out babies."

The old lady understood her eldest son and daughter-in-law’s thinking, which was why she was hell-bent on getting Elijah some offspring.

"Violette, are you willing to have a child for Elijah?" the old lady bluntly asked. "You need to understand, your child with Elijah can inherit Elijah’s fortune, which is plenty for you and the child to live a cushy life."

Violette quickly replied, "I want to have his baby."

As long as she could stop Kaleb from grabbing Elijah's property, she was willing to give it a shot.

Besides, even if she wasn't willing, the Bourne family, with their attitude, would definitely coerce her into having a child.

Upon hearing her answer, the old lady broke into a satisfied smile, "Good, I knew you're not like those dimwitted women. They think Elijah is on his last leg, so they can't see any benefits from him...Ha!"

After her visit at the Old Manor, Violette was ready to head back to Elijah's villa.

Kaleb intercepted her on the way.

The sun was blazing, cicadas singing loudly.

Seeing Kaleb's face, Violette felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Lacey, please take the gifts back first," she directed.

Lacey nodded, grabbing the gifts and walking ahead.

With no one around, Kaleb spoke, "Violette, you've really broken my heart! We dated for so long, and you never let me touch you...yet now you're willing to have a child for my uncle."

"As long as I can get his property, I'm willing to bear his child," she said deliberately, to provoke him.

Sure enough, he was riled up.

"Violette, let's not talk about this now; let's wait till my uncle passes." Kaleb said.

Violette retorted, "What if he doesn't die? Can you stay loyal and wait for me?"

This left Kaleb speechless.

Seeing his inability to respond, Violette laughed sarcastically, "I'm heading back, your grandma sent a doctor to wait for me at your uncle's."

...

When Violette returned to the Bourne family, she was immediately whisked off by two doctors for a physical examination.

If they found her egg mature, they would extract it; if it was not yet mature, they would give her hormone injections.

"Mrs. Bourne, there's no need to panic. It might hurt a bit, but once you've had Mr. Bourne's child, your position in the Bourne family will be solid," the female doctor reassured her.

Lying on the bed, Violette's heart pounded, "How long will it take to succeed?"
