Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 316

Elijah didn't sleep a wink last night.

Makayla had become a bit smarter now and should be able to remember his phone number, so there was no need for her to hide out all night.

He had people stationed around Silverleaf Ridge last night.

From then till now, there had been no word. That meant they hadn't found Makayla.

It was warmer now, but sleeping on the streets would still freeze her.

Where could she be hiding? Did some kind soul take her in for the night?

He was kicking himself. She'd run away from home after her first surgery.

He thought she'd be smarter now and better able to cope. He'd explained the reasons for the surgery over and over, thinking she'd get it at least a little bit.

Who'd have thought she'd still be so resistant?

If he'd known it'd turn out like this, maybe he wouldn't have forced her to have the surgery. But he didn't want her to be a fool for the rest of her life!

What if he left the world before her? Who'd protect her once he was gone?

He couldn't stand her being bullied. Even just picturing it in his mind was unbearable.

In his heart, there were two kinds of people in the world. The first kind was normal people, the second kind was him and Makayla.

He drove to Lavender Lane and searched every corner again. Then, he went to the security center to check the records of every car entering and exiting.

At 2 in the afternoon.

He saw a familiar Range Rover driving out of the underground garage on the surveillance footage.

He paused the video with a click of the mouse.

"Isn't this Violette's car?" he muttered to himself, looking at the time on the monitor, "What was she doing at 10:30 last night?"
