Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom

Chapter 6

Due to her bleeding, Violette had to consider the possibility of keeping the baby.

The news freaked her out big time.

"Doc, what if I don't want the baby?" Violette asked.

With a pending divorce from Elijah, having a baby was the last thing she wanted.

The doctor gave her a look and said, "Why don't you want the kid? Do you know how many people

want children but can't have them?"

She fell silent.

"Where's your husband? Even if you don't want the baby, you should discuss it with him," the doctor

said.

Violette's brows furrowed.

Seeing her like this, the doctor picked up her medical record, "You're only 21! You're not married, are

you?"

Violette said, "I am...!" After all, divorce was just around the corner.

"Abortion is a procedure, even if you're sure, I don't have time for it today. Go home and think it over.

Regardless of your relationship with your boyfriend, the baby is innocent." The doctor said.

Handing her the medical record, the doctor continued, "You're currently bleeding. If you don't take

measures to keep the baby now, you may not be able to in the future."

Violette softened a bit, "Doc, what should I do to keep the baby?"

The doctor looked at her, "I thought you wanted an abortion? Changed your mind already? You're so

beautiful, and your baby will be too. If you want to keep it, I can prescribe some medication, and you

can rest for a week, then come back for a check-up."

Leaving the hospital, the sun was so bright she had to squint, her back was sweaty and her steps

heavy.

She felt lost, not knowing where to go or who to talk to.

But one thing she was sure of, she couldn't tell Elijah, he'd force her onto the operating table.

She hadn't decided to have the baby, she was just too upset and needed to calm down before making

a decision.

She hailed a cab and directed the driver to her uncle's house.

Since her parents' divorce, her mom had moved back in with her brother.

While they weren't as wealthy as the Dennis family, they were doing okay.

"Violette, you came alone?" Aunt Norene's face darkened when she saw Violette arrive empty-handed,

"I heard when you visited your dad's house you brought lots of fancy gifts! Clearly, you don't consider

this your home, so you don't care about manners?"

Aunt Norene, who initially planned to treat Violette well, felt her heart sunk at the sight.

Violette was startled, "Aunt Norene, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I'll bring gifts next time."

"Forget it! You look like you were kicked out by the Bourne family. I heard Elijah woke up, if he really

loved you, why are you here, crying to your mom?" Norene said.

Violette's cheeks burned.

Seeing her daughter being bullied, Albina Palmer immediately retorted, "Even if my daughter was

kicked out by the Bourne family, it's not your place to mock her."

"Albina, I just told the truth, did that hurt your feelings? Look whose house this is... If you're so capable,

move out!" Norene said.

Albina was furious, she wanted to argue, but she couldn't.

Violette watched this unfold, her feelings were complicated and she was unsettled.

She always thought her mom was doing okay living with her uncle, not as well as with the Dennis

family, but not too bad either.

She didn't expect her mom and Aunt Norene to have such a bad relationship.

"Mom, why don't you move out and rent a place? I have some money..." Violette said reluctantly.

Albina nodded, "Okay, I'll pack my things now."

Half an hour later, they left and hailed a cab.

"Violette, don't worry about me, I've saved some money over the years. The reason I didn't move out

was because your grandma wasn't well, and she wanted me to stay with her. If it wasn't for her, I

would've moved out a long time ago." Albina tried to smile.

Violette thought for a second then said, "Actually, Aunt Norene was right, I'm divorcing Elijah soon."

Albina was taken aback, then comforted her, "It's okay, you haven't graduated yet, a divorce might be

better for you to focus on your study."

"Yeah, mom, once I divorce, I won't go back to the Dennis family, I'll live with you!" Violette rested her

head on her mom's shoulder, deciding not to tell her about the pregnancy.

She knew her mom would be worried.

That night, Violette returned to the Bourne family.

The living room was very quiet.

"Madam, have you eaten? I saved some food for you. I also bought some sanitary pads." Lacey

suddenly appeared, startling Violette.

"Lacey, I've eaten, thank you! Why is it so quiet? Is he not home?" Violette asked casually before

heading to her room.

"The master hasn't returned. Despite the doctor's advice to rest at home, he doesn't want to listen."

Lacey sighed, "The master always does what he wants, no one can tell him otherwise."

Violette nodded, her brief encounter with him had left a deep impression.

He was wild, brutal, arrogant...

Any sympathy she had for him as a patient had completely disappeared after he woke up.

At night, Violette couldn't sleep. Thinking about the baby in her belly, she wasn't any calmer than at the

hospital, she was even more conflicted and upset.

The next morning.

She didn't want to see Elijah, so she stayed in her room.

At 9:30 am, Lacey knocked on her door, "Madam, the master has left, you can come out for breakfast

now."

Violette didn't expect Lacey to understand her feelings so well, her cheeks turned red instantly.

After breakfast, Violette received a call.

It was from her senior schoolmate, he had a translation job for her. He said, "Violette, I know you're up

to your dissertation right now, but this manuscript should be a piece of cake for you. On top of that, the Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

client is paying a lot, with the stipulation that it's done before noon."

Violette was strapped for cash at the moment, so after a short pondering, she decided to bite the bullet

and take it on.

At half past eleven, she finished the translation work and checked it twice carefully. After confirming

that there were no issues, she prepared to send the document to her schoolmate.

Just at that moment, her laptop suddenly broke down!

Luckily, her document was saved on a USB drive. She took a deep breath and unplugged the USB

from her laptop.

She needed to find another computer so she could send the file to her schoolmate.

"Lacey, my computer's broken down, I'm in dire need of another one. Do we have any spare at home? I

just need to send a document." Violette asked.

"We do, but it's Elijah’s." Lacy said.

Violette's heart sank.

She wouldn't dare to touch Elijah's computer with a ten-foot pole.

"You're just sending a document, it won't take long, right?" Lacey, seeing the panic on her face, wanted

to lend a hand. "Although the boss is a tough cookie, he's not heartless. If it's really urgent, I don't think

he'd chew you out for using his computer."

Violette checked the time.

It was already ten to twelve.

She had to send the document before the clock struck twelve.

Elijah's study was on the second floor.

During his illness, no one had been in there except for the cleaners.

Violette was scared stiff of Elijah finding out, but she also desperately needed the easy money this job

would bring in.

She needed the dough.

If she needed surgery, she had to start saving up. This kid wasn't just hers, it was Elijah's too. She

thought to herself, ‘using his computer is like having him chip in for her surgery.'

Violette stepped into the study, approached the desk, and turned on the computer.
