Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom

Chapter 15

The calcium tablets that pregnant women took were the same as those taken by the elderly or those

lacking calcium.

So, the bottle just said calcium tablets.

"Do you tell everyone every single pill you take?" Violette's face was red as a beet, but her tone was

quite calm.

After saying that, she immediately fled the scene.

She took the calcium tablets back to her room, tucked them into a drawer, and then went to the

bathroom to wash her face.

She had to act fast. If she didn't leave ASAP, her secret would eventually be exposed.

Her prenatal check-up reports were all in the room. If Elijah decided to snoop around her room, he'd

know the truth.

Of course, she knew that while Elijah was a bit nutty, he wasn't a creep who would search her room.

And if he didn't file for divorce, she couldn't divorce him either.

After all, she had accepted the Bourne family's generous wedding gifts.

She sat on the edge of the bed, her mind buzzing with chaotic thoughts, even forgetting her hunger.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

Snapping back to reality, she walked to the door and opened it.

"Madam, the master is back. You should have something to eat," Lacey said kindly.

Her nerves slightly eased. Everyone in the mansion, except for Elijah, was kind to her.

Perhaps because she was young, they all looked after her.

She followed Lacey to the dining room where the food was already on the table.

"Lacey, I can't eat all this. Come join me!"

Lacey laughed, "Madam, you eat as much as you want. There are rules in this house, I can't cross the

line."

"Do you have kids?" Violette felt more relaxed without Elijah around.

"Yes, my child is in college now, about your age. Madam, why do you ask?"

Violette smiled coyly, her cheeks flushed, "I heard pregnancy changes your figure, but you look great!"

"Indeed, I didn't have much appetite when I was pregnant, and I didn't weigh more than 120 pounds

even when I gave birth, so my figure didn't change much."

"So, your belly didn't look that big when you were pregnant, right?"

"Exactly! When I was seven or eight months pregnant, I looked like I was only five or six months

pregnant. With slightly loose clothes, no one could tell I was pregnant."

Hearing this, Violette got an idea.

She only ate a small bowl of rice and then stopped.

She needed to keep her figure and make her belly as inconspicuous as possible.

"Madam, why aren't you eating?" Lacey noticed she stopped eating after a little and felt something was

off.

Violette said, "I'm not hungry. From now on, just leave a little for me at dinner. I'm afraid of gaining

weight."

"You're not fat at all."

"I don't like to exercise much, so I prefer to control my diet."

After leaving the dining room, she went back to her room and took out her last prenatal check-up

report.

The doctor had written the time for the next prenatal check-up on the report, which was due when she

was three months pregnant, and she needed to establish a file at the hospital.

Looking at the date written on the report, she realized it was tomorrow.

She lay in bed, gently stroking her abdomen, trying to feel the baby's presence, but she felt no

changes.

Although she didn't experience frequent vomiting after becoming pregnant, her appetite was not as

good as before.

She had lost some weight recently, and sometimes her abdomen even looked flatter when she hadn't

eaten.

...

The next day, she got up early and went to the hospital.

Due to the many tests that needed to be done that day, it was already noon when she finished.

Some test results would not be available until 2 pm, so she planned to find a nearby restaurant for

lunch.

As she walked out of the hospital, someone gently tapped her shoulder from behind.

She turned around and saw a somewhat unfamiliar face.

"It really is you." Melinda was wearing a white dress with a black blazer, her makeup was exquisite, her

hair was slicked back, she looked both capable and charming, "Are you sick?"

"Just for a routine check-up." Violette didn't want to chat too much with her.

But Melinda didn't plan to let her off the hook.

"Violette, you haven't had lunch, right? Let me treat you! I was wrong last time. I apologize."

"I'm not mad."

"Oh... I just want to chat with you, I mean no harm." Melinda put on an innocent face.

It seemed like declining her invitation was an unforgivable act, s

o Violette agreed to have lunch with her.

Because she needed to fast for the blood draw in the morning, she hadn't eaten anything since

morning.

She was so hungry that she felt dizzy and weak.

The two found a nearby restaurant and sat down.

Violette ordered two dishes of stir-fried vegetables.

Melinda was more conservative, only ordering a fruit lassi and a vegetable salad, then handed the

menu to the waiter.

"I don't eat carbs at lunch to keep my figure." Melinda saw Violette's surprise and explained, "Tell me

about you and Elijah! I heard the old lady likes you a lot, so she doesn't agree with Elijah divorcing you,

what a sticky wicket!"

Violette took a sip of water and countered, "Why didn't you volunteer yourself back then?"

Melinda gave a bitter smile, "I was on vacation and didn't know about it. By the time I came back, you

two were already married."

Violette: "Oh, what a pity!"

Melinda's eyes flickered, "Are you doubting me? Violette, no one can question my love for Elijah.

Because he doesn't like children, I had surgery to remove my uterus. Would you do that?"

Violette was stunned.

"I'm no longer a complete woman, I can never have children, but I don't regret it. For him, I'm willing to

do anything." Melinda raised her chin proudly, a

s if waiting for others to praise her bravery and uniqueness.

Violette struggled to speak, "Elijah is a madman, and so are you. He hurts others when he's crazy, you

hurt yourself when you're crazy. Hurting yourself for him, that's just plain dumb."

Melinda's face changed in an instant, her tone turning frosty: "What do you know? Elijah doesn't mingle

with any women, yet he's willing to spend time with me..."

"You've got it all wrong, Melinda. He's already got someone he likes. You shouldn't be doing foolish

things for him." Violette's emotions got the best of her, and she blurted out without thinking. novelbin

The moment the words left her lips, she instantly regretted it.

What the hell did Melinda's actions have to do with her?

If Elijah found out she'd spilled his secret, he'd give her hell.

Melinda seemed to have heard a hilarious joke. After her face froze for a few seconds, she burst into

laughter: "Impossible. How could Elijah possibly like you?"

Violette exhaled: "I didn't say he liked me. I said he liked another woman."

Melinda shot back fiercely: "That's even more impossible! Apart from me, there are no other women

around Elijah. I've been by his side for ten years, and my brother has known him for nearly twenty

years. I know him better than anyone else!"

Violette's mind was in a whirl.

For a moment, she couldn't tell what was real and what was not.

Melinda had no reason to lie to her.

But if Melinda wasn't lying, then what about the things she saw on Elijah's computer... what was that all

about?
