Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 557

As dawn broke, Makayla tiptoed into Violette’s room, whispering a soft farewell, “Violette, I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself and when you're healed, promise me you'll come back home, okay?”

Makayla whispered and quickly left the room to avoid waking her up. Violette opened her eyes to an empty room, feeling a profound sense of loss.

At 8:00 in the morning, a Gulfstream G650 private jet took off from the capital airport of B Country with its destination being the capital airport of A Country. After more than ten hours of flight, the plane gradually descended at the capital airport. At this time, it was 6:00 in the morning in A Country.

Adrian went back with them.

“Mr. Bourne, thank you for bringing us home," Mary thanked Elijah sincerely.

"No problem," Elijah replied.

“Well, we better get going.” Mary said.

Elijah cleared his throat, hesitated briefly and said, “Mary, you can't blame Violette for Adrian's injuries. She didn’t even tell me that she was Dr. Mitchel's last student. Adrian was kidnapped because he used to be Dr. Mitchel's assistant, not because of Violette.”

Mary was taken aback.

Once Elijah had said his piece, he left in large strides.

“Mom, what did you say to Violette?” Adrian asked, his face serious as he sat in his wheelchair. “Violette is also a victim. How could you blame her?”

Mary’s eyes reddened, “I'm sorry, son. I was just so upset. You had such a bright future ahead of you, and now it's all ruined. If you hadn't met Violette, none of this would have happened.”

Adrian retorted sharply, “Mom! Didn't you hear what Elijah just said? It has nothing to do with Violette.”

Mary insisted, “How can it have nothing to do with her? If Dr. Mitchel hadn't made her his student, none of this would have happened.”

Adrian responded, “So being excellent is a mistake now? If that's the case, I might as well be a nobody for the rest of my life.”

...

News of Elijah's return quickly spread across the country.

“Elijah returned alone, but Violette is still in B country.” Alexa shared the latest scoop with Sarah, “And Elijah went straight to work after returning. I suspect there's trouble in paradise.”

Joey: [Got it. Brandon, how much did the he spend on this trip?]

Brandon: [[Sweating]. Why do you ask?]

Joey:[The way he's working so hard, I'm starting to think he might be broke.]

Brandon: [Not likely. I think he's just using work to numb himself.]

Joey pocketed his phone and quickly caught up with Elijah. “Boss, after the meeting, let me take you home to rest.” Joey suggested, “It's closer to your place from here.”

Elijah replied, “I'm not tired.”

Joey explained awkwardly, “The company is organizing a two-day team building event this afternoon. You could use the time to rest, or if you prefer, you could join us for the event.”

Elijah’s gaze darkened, “Do I have any other options?”
