Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 382

Half an hour later, Elijah got a call from his brother Travis.

"Elijah! Get your butt to the hospital! Mom just took a tumble at home, and her condition isn't looking too hot!"

Elijah's grip on his cell tightened. He bolted from his office, making a beeline for the elevator.

Joey saw his ashen face, worry gnawing at him. What happened?

"Should we postpone the next meeting?"

"Let the deputy handle it. Have the meeting minutes sent to me later." Elijah said before stepping into the CEO's elevator.

The elevator doors slowly closed, and Joey felt an uneasy twinge. Elijah rarely showed this kind of tension at work.

Hospital.

Grace was rushed into the ER. When Elijah arrived, the ER doors were still tightly shut.

"What happened?" He looked ghastly as he turned to Travis.

"I wasn't home... Kaleb said he heard mom scream. When he rushed out of his room, he saw mom at the bottom of the stairs."

Elijah frowned, "She fell from the second floor? What was she doing up there?!"

Grace was getting on in years and her mobility wasn't great, hence she lived on the first floor.

Travis was in agony, "I don't know! I wasn't there... Mom doesn't stay on the second floor, but she likes to walk around the house."

"Where was the nanny?! Didn't she keep an eye on her?!" Elijah's voice rose in anger.

After a while, the door of the ER was pushed open. The medical staff came out.

"The patient's heartbeat stopped half an hour ago. We tried our best to resuscitate her but unfortunately we couldn't save her. We're sorry."

Instantly, the wails of Travis and his wife echoed in the corridor.

Elijah trudged into the ER. His mother's face was pale. Her eyes were wide open, as if there were still unfulfilled wishes .

He gently tried to close her eyes with his hand. But, her eyes wouldn't close.

He held her cold hand tightly, his voice hoarse, "Mom, do you have anything to tell me?"

There was no response.
