Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom

Chapter 14

His face turned into a devilish figure in her eyes, stretching out sharp fangs.

"Why?" Violette struggled to speak, "Elijah, even if you don't want the baby, you don't have to be so

cruel!"

Elijah's words were full of meaning, "What if you're hoping for a miracle?"

Violette took a deep breath secretly and looked away from his face.

She was scared, feeling like she was about to step into an irreversible inferno.

Her reaction piqued his curiosity.

His thin lips curled into a smirk, "Violette, you're not seriously thinking about having my baby, are you?"

Violette's eyes widened.

"You better take my warning seriously. You know what kind of person I am, and my actions will be even

worse than my words. Don't cross my line." He finished and looked out the window.

Violette clenched her fingers tightly and angrily said, "Don't worry, I won't have your child. I'm sure you

know how much I hate you. I just want to get a divorce as soon as possible!"

A child doesn't belong to just one person.

If she gave birth to a child, it would also be for herself.

When the child grew up, she would tell them that their father had passed away!

"It's not the right time yet. Let's wait until my mom's health gets better." Elijah's tone was much calmer,

probably because her words had an effect.

He realized that he was not the man she wanted.

"We can't wait too long." She frowned, looking anxious.

If they drag it out, her belly will get bigger.

By then, she wouldn't be able to hide it, and she would definitely be forced to have an abortion.

"What's the hurry to get a divorce? Do you have something urgent?" Elijah's gaze fell on her face,

trying to see through her.

Violette panicked, "No! I just... I just don't want to be with you. Hasn't anyone ever told you that being

around you is suffocating?"

Elijah chuckled, "Even if people think that way, they wouldn't dare say it out loud."

Violette pouted, "Oh... No wonder you always have a problem with me. But if I don't speak my mind, I'll

feel very uncomfortable."

Elijah analyzed her words and finally concluded that she misunderstood, "No man can tolerate his wife

dressing up all fancy and accompanying other men."

"What's wrong with wearing a strap dress? In your eyes, socializing is just accompanying other men?"

Violette retorted, "I didn't do anything wrong last night."

Their perspectives were completely different.

"So, you're saying you'd do it again?" Elijah's mouth curled up slightly, with a creepy smile.

Violette pursed her lips and instinctively shrank back, "I don't even drink, so how could I accompany

others to drink?"

She wouldn't joke about the two children in her belly.

Even if her father's company went bankrupt, she wouldn't accompany people for drinks for money.

Her answer extinguished the anger in his heart.

The driver drove to Bourne Mansion.

As soon as the car stopped, Violette got out quickly.

Elijah watched her frail figure and instructed the driver, "Go to the company."

......

When the car left, Violette finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking a nap, she arrived at the Dennis Group at 2:30 pm.

She decided to sell her father's house, cars, and shops to pay off the debts.

She would liquidate whatever she could, pay off the debts, and then slowly look for investments.

There was no hope for help from the bank.

Last night, she completely offended two bank presidents, who said they would never lend her money

again.

"Violette, you don't have to blame yourself. If you had drunk last night, they would have done even

worse things." Reaves frowned, "You're not that kind of woman. So I can't force you to do that."

Violette nodded, "Even if you forced me, I wouldn't do it."

Reaves' face turned slightly red, and he nodded, "I sorted out a list of A city's wealthiest people last

night. They all have the ability to invest in our company. You just need to convince one, and our

company will be saved."

Violette took the list and quickly glanced through it.

The first line on the list was the name, followed by gender, company, their current net worth, and the

contact telephone number.

Some had phone numbers, while others didn’t.

“How can I contact those who didn't leave any contact information?" Violette asked.

Reaves said, “For those who did not provide contact information, you can only arrange a meeting at

their office."

Violette looked at the list again.

This time, she noticed a key point.

The second name on the list was unmistakably 'Elijah'. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Elijah, male, the Bourne Group, net worth over 100 billion, Contact: None.”

Violette's face flushed a little, and she said awkwardly, "Is Elijah really that rich?"

To cover her panic, she picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.

"That's just a conservative estimate. His net worth can only be higher than this number." Reaves said

with certainty, "He founded the Bourne Group when the internet was just starting to boom. Now the

internet is so hot, so is his net worth."

"Oh..." Violette said.

"It's a pity that we didn't get his contact information. You can only go to the Bourne Group to find him. If

you decide to go one day, I'll go with you." Reaves said.

Violette shook her head vigorously, "I'm not looking for him."

Saying that, she took a pen and crossed out his name from the list.

He would never lend her money, and if she went to ask him, it would just be humiliating.

In the evening, on her way home, she passed by a pharmacy.

She went in, planning to buy some medicine for her bruise.

After the clerk recommended several options, she suddenly remembered a question, "Can I use this

medicine if I'm pregnant?"

Clerk said, "It's best not to. Are you pregnant?"

Violette nodded.

The clerk immediately put away the medicine and picked up a few other bottles, "How many months

are you? You don't look obviously pregnant yet, so you need calcium supplements. This calcium tablet

is especially good!"

Half an hour later, she returned to the Bourne family with the calcium tablets.

It was past dinner time, but Lacey had saved some food for her.

"Ma’am, what kinda meds did you get?" Lacey asked since there was a pharmacy logo on the bag.

Violette hid the bag behind her back, "Uh... some stuff for my bruise."

"We've got that at home. We keep all the usual stuff around. Next time you need something, just let me

know. I'll get it for you," Lacey said with a smile.

"Alright, I'm going back to my room," Violette said, and turned around, ready to leave.

But, what would she know, she bumped into Elijah.

He had come over while she was chatting with Lacey.

He had also clearly seen the meds in her bag when she hid it behind her back.

"Why're you lying?" His gaze fell on her calcium tablets, and his eyes were full of danger.
