Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 413

Mike picked up his water glass and asked dismissively, "What's up with your boss? Don't keep getting on Violette's nerves..."

Joey said sorrowfully, "He's dead."

Mike choked on his water and spluttered, "Quit joking around. He's dead? How did he die?"

Joey replied, "I'm not sure. I just saw the news online."

Mike's face was a picture of shock. Seeing Joey on the verge of tears, he quickly put down his water glass and headed to his room. He tried to comfort Joey, "Calm down, I'll give Violette a call... She texted me yesterday at noon, and said her wound wasn't hurting as much, so she'd be back in a few days. She didn't mention anything about Elijah..."

Joey followed him into the room and continued, "This happened in the wee hours of the morning. His phone's been switched off, and his bodyguard isn't answering either. I've known him for years, never seen this happen before."

Mike grabbed his phone and dialed Violette, putting her on speaker.

The call connected after a while.

Mike asked anxiously, "Violette! I heard Elijah's dead. What happened? You're not involved, right?"

Violette lay on her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, her voice hoarse, "I did it."

Mike and Joey were stunned.

Violette repeated, "I did it."

Mike, in disbelief, tugged at his hair, "You... Are you alright? How could you have killed him?"

Violette mumbled through her sobs, "I don't know..."

She cried for a long time, her throat painful and hoarse, "I don't know how it ended up like this..."

Mike comforted her, "Alright, stop crying! I'm coming to get you right now!" He swiftly grabbed a jacket and hurried out of the room, "Keep your phone on!"

Mike hung up, leaving Joey standing in silence.
