Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom

Chapter 296

With a "whoosh", Violette slammed on the brakes, pulling the car over to the side of the road!

Car accident? Death?!

Her head was ringing, and then the tears came pouring down!

"Mom! Why did you stop the car?" Rita shrieked.

Ian nervously asked, "Mom, why are you crying?"

"Mom, what's wrong? Please don't cry!" Rita choked up and started crying too.

Hearing her kids, Violette took a deep breath. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Wiping the tears from her face, she said hoarsely, "I'll take you guys home right away. Just stay home,

okay? I've got something to take care of."

The car started moving again.

Rita and Ian were still really worried, "Mom, what happened? Why are you so sad?"

Violette took a deep breath, hiding the truth, "A friend of mine had an accident. You guys behave at

home, I might be back really late. If Mike's not there, I'll call him to come and look after you."

"Mom, don't cry! Your friend will be alright!" Rita said with concern.

"Mom, it’ll be okay!" Ian tried to comfort her.

Violette mumbled an agreement.

They arrived at Silverleaf Ridge.

Mike and Joey were at home, eating dinner. Violette opened the door, letting the kids in. But she didn't

even go inside the house, just walked away.

When Mike came out of the dining room, she had already driven off.

"Rita! What's your mom up to? Why did she come back and not even go inside?" Mike asked, puzzled.

"Mom said her friend had an accident. She was crying so hard." Rita looked pained and guessed,

"Could it be Aunty Odette? I really like Aunty Odette."

Mike patted her head, then picked up his phone from the table and called Violette.

The call went through, but she didn't answer. After the it was automatically hung up, he called again,

still no answer.

Apart from Odette, Violette didn't have any other friends. Could it really be that Odette had an

accident?

Mike found Odette's number and called her. The call was quickly answered, and Odette's puzzled voice

came through, "Did you dial the wrong number? Why are you suddenly calling me?"

Clearly, Odette was fine.

"Sorry, wrong number," Mike hung up, his expression serious, and called Violette again.

This time, she finally answered.

"Violette! What the heck?! Why didn't you answer my calls?! If you didn't pick up this time, I was gonna

go looking for you!" Mike stood with one hand on his hip, holding the phone in the other, out in the cold

air, "Who had an accident? I just called Odette, and she's perfectly fine."

Violette took a deep breath and cried out, "My mom. Mike, can you watch the kids for me?"

"What happened to your mom?" Mike's heart clenched.

— Beep, beep, beep!

The call ended.

Mike gripped the phone tightly, his brow furrowed.

Joey came out of the living room and asked, "What's going on? What happened?"

"Violette's mom had an accident. I think this is big; she was crying so hard! I really want to go find her,

but she asked me to stay home and look after the kids!" Mike said quietly.

Joey's face darkened, "I'll check what happened to her mom. You stay home and take care of the kids!"

By the time Violette arrived at the scene of the accident, it was already dark.
