Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 335

"Mom, she's just feeling a bit woozy. A nap will fix her right up," Ian replied, "Don't sweat it."

"Oh... well, that's good then. You take care of your sister."

"Yep."

After hanging up the phone, Violette didn't head back to the office. She kept driving towards home. She had a pretty solid hunch that the kids weren't at home.

If she had told them on the phone that she was coming home, they would surely have hightailed it back home. Now she was sneaking back home. If they weren't back yet, she would give Ian another call! She had this nagging feeling that they were pulling a sickie to hatch some sort of plan.

Rita was a simple girl, not one to scheme, but her downfall was being too obedient to Ian. Given Ian's past antics, Violette had a bad feeling about this.

Violette parked the car and headed for the front door. After unlocking the door, she stepped inside. Shortly, Ian heard the noise and came out. As mother and son locked eyes, there was a tense spark in the air.

Violette felt a pang of guilt. She had suspected her kids of getting up to no good! But they were at home.

Turned out, Rita was genuinely unwell.

"Ian, I was just too worried about you guys, so I rushed back home. How's your sister doing?" Violette gently asked, heading quickly towards the kids' bedroom.

"She's asleep," Ian explained, "Don't worry, Mom."

With a nod, Violette looked at her daughter lying quietly on the bed and checked her forehead. Temperature was normal.

"Mom, you should go to work," Ian suggested kindly.
