Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 662

Elijah never expected the call to be picked up immediately.

“I’ll be flying back tomorrow,” her voice was a calm, steady stream. “We’ll talk when I see you.”

Every ounce of anger and fear in his heart was suppressed in an instant.

He remembered what Brandon had told him.

Brandon said she knew exactly how to control him, and she had succeeded spectacularly.

In that moment, Elijah understood the true weight of Brandon’s words.

Indeed, Violette had him wrapped around her fingers.

With just a single sentence, despite all evidence pointing to her betrayal, he still trusted her unconditionally.

“Violette,” he rasped out her name just before hanging up.

Through the tremble in his voice, she could feel the turmoil within him.

He must have seen the video; the doubt was evident, or he wouldn’t be in such agony.

“Elijah, I know it’s hard for you to believe me,” she started, struggling against the tension. “Even I almost believed it was me when I saw that footage.”

He listened in silence as her voice quivered slightly.

“I watched it over and over,” she choked out. “Elijah, that wasn’t me.”

After her words fell into the silence, Rita tugged at her sleeve. “Mommy, Ian is here.”

Hearing Rita’s voice, Elijah quickly composed himself, “Take care of the kids. We’ll talk when you’re back.”

The call ended there.

Rita frowned, looking up at Violette. “Mommy, were you talking to that bad daddy? He’s the only one who makes you cry.”

Violette hadn’t shed tears, but her eyes were rimmed red.
