Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 2

Under the dazzling crystal chandelier, Elijah's eyes sparkled like gems, filled with a touch of mystery and danger.

As usual, it was a sight that sent chills down people’s spine.

Kaleb looked absolutely petrified, and hastily backed away, "Violette...err, I mean...auntie, it's getting late, I won't disturb you and Uncle anymore!"

Sweat was pouring down Kaleb's face as he stumbled and bolted out of the master bedroom.

Seeing him leave in such haste made Violette's heart skip a beat, her body trembling involuntarily.

Was Elijah awake?!

Wasn't he supposed to be a goner?

She wanted to speak to him, but words failed her. She wanted to get closer, but her feet felt glued to the floor.

Fear of the unknown crept in and she retreated, running downstairs and shouting, "Lacey, Elijah's awake! He opened his eyes!"

Hearing this, Lacey rushed upstairs.

"Ma'am, the master opens his eyes every day. But that doesn't mean he's awake. See, we're talking in front of him and he's not responding," Lacey sighed, "Doctors say the chances of a vegetative person regaining consciousness are slim."

Violette was still frightened, "Can I sleep with the lights on tonight? I'm a bit scared."

"Sure. You should get some rest. You still have to go to Old Manor in the morning. I'll wake you up." Lacey said.

"Okay." Violette said.

After Lacey left, Violette changed into her pajamas, and climbed into bed.

She sat by his side, looking at Elijah's handsome face, waving her hand in front of him. She asked, "Elijah, what are you thinking?"

But there was no response.

Her heart sank. Her pain seemed trivial compared to his condition.

"Elijah, I hope you can wake up. You have so much wealth. You wouldn't want that bastard Kaleb to get his hands on it." Violette said.

As soon as she finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes.

She stared at him, her heart pounding. Some vegetative patients were conscious, so, did he hear her?

Violette felt uneasy, lying next to him. After what felt like an eternity, she heard herself sighing.

She was Mrs. Bourne now, no one dared to mess with her. But what would the Bourne family do to her if he died?

She was nervous.
