Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 478

She made her way to the maternity ward like a seasoned pro. But Mike grabbed her, steering her towards the ultrasound department on a different floor. She looked at him, clearly puzzled.

"Well... you can go straight to the ultrasound," Mike attempted to downplay the situation but failed miserably, "Elijah's here. He's probably waiting for you in the ultrasound room."

Violette shrugged off his arm, clearly annoyed. "Since when did you start taking orders from him?"

Mike raised his hand in a defensive gesture. "I was not influenced by him. Joey told me."

"Well, Joey works for him. What's the difference between you being influenced by Joey and you being influenced by him?"

"There is a difference. Joey is not like that jerk. Joey knows right from wrong." Mike grabbed her arm, explaining, "He promised me that if that jerk messes with you again, he'll quit."

Violette, "But you didn't have to tell them everything."

"I didn't spill all the beans... like how your appetite has improved, how you're not puking as much, or that you think the baby might be gone. I didn't tell them any of that." Mike sighed, "Such a shame. A little one gone just like that. Are you here for the abortion surgery today?"

Violette felt an uncomfortable knot in her stomach, "If there's no heartbeat, then yes, I'll need the surgery."

In the past few days, her morning sickness had noticeably decreased. This wasn't exactly a cause for celebration as it might mean the baby was gone. Before coming to the hospital today, she had a hearty breakfast and hadn't felt nauseous since.

She had mentally prepared herself for the possibility of the baby being gone, but the pain seemed to amplify once she stepped into the hospital. She was also surprised to see Elijah there. What would he feel if he knew the baby was gone?

They took the elevator to the ultrasound department. As the elevator doors slowly opened, she saw the man waiting outside. He was wearing a high-quality light gray shirt and dark casual pants, a stark contrast to his usual all-black ensemble.

Her steps felt as heavy as if they were weighed down by lead.

As Elijah watched her approach, he wanted to greet her, but ended up just staring at her. She looked well and may have gained a few pounds. It seemed she was doing okay over the past week.
