Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 417

Brandon stood by the bed, laying it all out for him.

There wasn't a change on his face.

Couldn’t blame him, really. He was already prepared to kick the bucket, so what was left that could shake him? After he was gone, someone would definitely look out for Makayla.

In no time, the doc showed up, checked him over, and said, "Mr. Bourne, you're weak as a kitten. You need to be admitted. If you feel off, give me a holler anytime."

Elijah shut his eyes, and Brandon pulled the doc aside to get the details.

"He's not about to croak, is he?" Brandon asked.

The doc said, "If he follows our recovery instructions, he should be fine. But he didn’t have got the will to live, and that's not helping his recovery."

Brandon nodded, "I'll figure something out."

About an hour later, Brandon brought Makayla to the hospital.

"Makayla, your brother's been through the wringer. Can you go and cheer him up?"

Makayla blinked, furrowed her brows, and tilted her head, asking, "How did he get hurt?"

"His heart got hurt."

"How can a heart get hurt?"

"Well... he and Violette had a big blowout." Brandon explained it to her in the simplest way possible, "And now he doesn't want to stick around. He wants to bite the dust. So, what you need to do is to pull him up by his bootstraps and get him to soldier on."

Makayla looked puzzled, "Then why don't you call Violette? I'm afraid he won't listen to me."

Brandon said, "They had a falling out. He doesn't want to see Violette. And you should stop looking for Violette too. They're done."

Makayla asked, "Can I still look for Rita and Ian?"

Brandon retorted, "Your brother's at death's door, and you're still bothered about other stuff?"

Makayla had no choice but to agree, "What should I do to stop him from biting the dust? Can you guide me?"

Brandon took a deep breath, "Just stay by his side, and keep an eye on him."
