Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 296

With a "whoosh", Violette slammed on the brakes, pulling the car over to the side of the road!

Car accident? Death?!

Her head was ringing, and then the tears came pouring down!

"Mom! Why did you stop the car?" Rita shrieked.

Ian nervously asked, "Mom, why are you crying?"

"Mom, what's wrong? Please don't cry!" Rita choked up and started crying too.

Hearing her kids, Violette took a deep breath.

Wiping the tears from her face, she said hoarsely, "I'll take you guys home right away. Just stay home, okay? I've got something to take care of."

The car started moving again.

Rita and Ian were still really worried, "Mom, what happened? Why are you so sad?"

Violette took a deep breath, hiding the truth, "A friend of mine had an accident. You guys behave at home, I might be back really late. If Mike's not there, I'll call him to come and look after you."

"Mom, don't cry! Your friend will be alright!" Rita said with concern.

"Mom, it’ll be okay!" Ian tried to comfort her.

Violette mumbled an agreement.

They arrived at Silverleaf Ridge.

Mike and Joey were at home, eating dinner. Violette opened the door, letting the kids in. But she didn't even go inside the house, just walked away.

When Mike came out of the dining room, she had already driven off.

"Rita! What's your mom up to? Why did she come back and not even go inside?" Mike asked, puzzled.
