Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom

Chapter 171

"Why'd you bring family along for our little outing?" Odette poured a drink and handed it to her. "What

were you up to last night? You've got some serious dark circles, looks like you pulled an all-nighter."

Violette raised her glass and took a small sip, "I was up late watching movies!"

"I don't buy it. You look like you're faking that smile." Odette asked, "Are you still missing Elijah?"

Violette almost spat out her drink, "Odette, do you think I'm an idiot?"

Odette nodded, "Well, you're loaded, but you do look kinda dumb."

In another corner of the restaurant...

Brandon grabbed a bottle and poured a drink for Elijah.

This was the fanciest restaurant close to the hospital.

"Elijah, I'm not gonna pry about you and Makayla. I called you out here to have a drink with me," said

Brandon. "So, is that Dr. Sarah really as amazing as you say?"

Elijah lifted his glass and took a sip, "She performed surgery on Makayla, but she hasn't woken up yet."

"Oh... If it works, how much are you planning to pay her?" asked Brandon, curiosity in his eyes.

"Whatever she wants."

"What if she doesn't want money, but wants you instead?" Brandon proposed his own theory. "Violette

can't accept you having Makayla in your heart, but some women don't care, like Melinda. If Dr. Sarah

doesn't mind and just wants to be with you, what will you do?"

Elijah glanced at Brandon, "She lives and works abroad. She's just here on vacation."

"If you'd marry her, she could totally give up her life and work overseas," said Brandon. "You're just too

irresistible to women."

"Dr. Sarah isn't like that," Elijah said firmly.

Brandon nodded and didn't mention Sarah again.

"Elijah, see that table over there? Isn't that woman Odette?" Brandon pointed in a direction. "And the

woman across from her, her back looks a bit like Violette's."

After saying this, he got up and walked over.

Elijah looked in the direction he had gone.

It was Violette.

He could recognize her silhouette in an instant.

They hadn't seen each other for over four years, but Joey said she hadn't changed much in

appearance.

"Odette, how come you didn't bring Ramsey along?" Brandon talked to Odette, but his gaze fell on

Violette's face. "Oh my, isn't this Violette?"

Violette suddenly saw Brandon and was stunned.

Brandon looked at the wine glass in her hand and sighed, "You didn't drink before, but now you do?

Perfect, Elijah and I are drinking too. Do you mind if we join you?"

Without waiting for Violette's answer, he went straight back to their table, grabbed wine and glasses,

and brought Elijah over as well.

Violette was speechless.

Odette frowned and said discontentedly, "Hey, my friend and I are having dinner. What are you two

doing here?"

"Last time we had dinner together, you were so warm to me. Have you forgotten already?" Brandon

asked playfully. "Elijah and Violette may be divorced, but they used to be married. They can still be Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

friends, right? Right, Violette?"

Violette awkwardly touched her head.

Be friends? Even if she was drunk, she couldn't possibly be friends with Elijah.

"Violette, I didn't mean to stand you up last time," Elijah stood beside her, one hand holding a wine

glass, the other in his pocket.

His deep eyes looked down at her from above.

Her face was still so beautiful, but now she seemed more mature.

"You don't have to explain to me. I'm not mad," Violette looked up and gave him a faint smile. "I have

some things to do, so I'll go first."

She got up, ready to leave.

But he was like a solid wall, blocking her way, showing no intention of stepping aside.
