Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom

Chapter 509

"I've already seen him," she said, picking up her phone and swiftly shifting the topic. "What about Ian

and Rita?"

With a sorrowful expression, Mike sighed and said, "They might not be able to video chat with you NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

tonight. Ian was crying today."

In the bathroom, Elijah heard everything loud and clear. What happened to Ian?

Elijah walked out of the bathroom, a sullen look in his eyes as he glanced at Violette.

Violette was too flustered to pay him any attention. She was even more surprised than him. Ian had

always been a child who didn't show his emotions openly. His demeanor and emotions were more

composed than the average child.

"What happened? Was he bullied at school? Did you talk to his teacher?" she asked, speaking at a

mile a minute. How she wished she could be home right now, comforting her son.

"They had a pop quiz today at school, and someone outperformed him. He was devastated," Mike

shrugged, "He couldn't handle the fact that someone was smarter than him."

Violette felt a slight relief, but she still felt sorry for Ian. He always lived in his own world where he was

the best.

"He's the youngest in his class, and it's understandable if his grades are not as good as the others. But

he just won't listen to me. The more I tried to console him, the more upset he became," Mike recalled

the ordeal of picking him up that evening, it gave him a headache. "I've never seen him break down like

this."

"I'll be back tomorrow," Violette declared.

"Uh... I suspect Alexa has planted a mole in our company. You were out today to negotiate a

partnership with the border patrol, and coincidentally, Alexa also went on a business trip to a remote

area, even bringing a photography team with her. Hahaha." Mike's laughter echoed throughout the

room.

At the mention of Alexa's name, Violette immediately lost interest in the conversation. Out of the corner

of her eye, she saw Elijah standing at the bathroom door. She told Mike, "Alright, we'll continue this

when I see you tomorrow."

"Sure, send me your flight details once you've booked. I'll pick you up at the airport."

"Okay."

After ending the video call, she opened the flight booking app to check tomorrow's flights. Elijah

brought a bucket of hot water over, set it down, then fetched a towel.

"Are you booking a flight?" he glanced at her phone screen, "Book one for me too. We can go back

together."

She gave him a cold stare, "Can't you book it yourself?"

"My phone is out of battery." He squatted down in front of her, applying massage oil to her neck and

shoulders with his slender fingers.

She was taken aback, and her body shivered for a moment, "Elijah! What are you doing?!"

Ignoring her protest, he kneaded her shoulders and then locked eyes with her, "Book a ticket for me."

His eyes were saying, I massage you, and you book a ticket for me.

She got goosebumps all over her body. "Let go of me! I'll book it!" she exclaimed. His palms were warm

and firm against her shoulders.

Violette gazed into his deep and affectionate eyes, feeling deeply conflicted inside. Read at

Her lips moved as if she were about to say something when suddenly, a heavy rainstorm started

outside, the sound so loud that it was startling.

What worried her more was how she would turn down his request to spend the night in her room.
