Chapter 594
Odette descended the stairs, with a medical report in hand. Elijah, alerted by the sound of footsteps, turned to look. Their eyes met, and an awkward silence filled the living room.
“What brings you here, Mr. Elijah?” Odette asked. There was a hint of apprehension in her voice. But this was Violette’s home. She drew confidence from that.
Elijah ignored her veiled sarcasm. His gaze was falling on the medical report in her hand. “Is Violette still asleep?”
“Ah, you're here to accompany Violette to fetch her results, right?” Odette said, waving the report slightly. “She’s already gotten them.”
“Give it to me.” Elijah strode towards her, with his hand outstretched.
Odette hid the report behind her back, taunting him, “Have your bruises healed? | thought you wouldn't come looking for Violette again, but it seems the child is more important than your so-called pride!”
Elijah’s face darkened at her mockery.
“Are you so concerned about the child because there’s a throne to inherit in your family?” Odette wouldn't let him off that easily. “Oh, your family is indeed grand with a throne to pass on! Unfortunately, fate has a way of playing tricks... You and Violette’s child... didn’t make it!”
Elijah stiffened.
His hawk-like eyes bore into Odette’s face, not missing a single flicker of emotion.
He was trying to discern if her words were true or false.
“Do you think I’m lying to you?” Odette feigned surprise.
Elijah saw no traces of deceit on her face, but he couldn't bring himself to believe her words either. He needed Violette to personally tell him that the child was lost!Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“Give me the report!” He commanded, his tone harsh. “Odette! Don’t force me to slap you again!” “Are you threatening me?” Odette stepped back. “If you hit me, Violette won’t let you off!”
“Give me the report!” Elijah closed in on her, grabbing her arm tightly with one hand, reaching for the report with the other! “You bastard! You're hurting me!” Odette felt as if her arm was about to be crushed.
She regretted her actions.
She shouldn't have provoked him! When this man lost control, he feared nothing.
Elijah snatched the report from her hand.
Just then, Violette came down the stairs.
She frowned at the sight of them, puzzled. “What are you guys doing?”
Their voices were so loud that she couldn't sleep.
Odette immediately ran to her side, whispering, “I just lied to him saying the baby didn’t make it. | wanted to scare him but he got really mad...”
Violette said, “Aren't you just asking for trouble?”
Odette replied, “I can’t stand him! | don’t want him to be too happy.”
Elijah’s dark eyes lingered briefly on Violette. Then he lowered his head to read the report. Although he didn’t understand some of the medical jargon, he could grasp the gist of the results.
Their child was safe.
“Violette, is our child okay?” he asked. His voice was trembling sligttifoWith emnentarcbhtthe baby be born?” Please read the original content at .
Violette said, “For now, yes.”
He let out a sigh of relief.
She watched his face. Her emotions were a whirlpool of complexity. She thought he wouldn’t come looking for her today, but he did.

Even if they weren't in a romantic relationship, they had a lot to discuss about the baby.
After Odette left, Elijah settled down on the sofa.
Sensing that he had no intention of leaving, Violette steeled herself.
“Have you not done the prenatal check-up for this month yet?” he asked, breaking the silence. Violette grudgingly admitted.
She was so tired in the morning that she immediately returned home after collecting the report.
He looked at her, noting her bloodshot eyes. “You shouldasti ti seguraggtevsn Yetta for
