Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom

Chapter 413

Mike picked up his water glass and asked dismissively, "What's up with your boss? Don't keep getting

on Violette's nerves..."

Joey said sorrowfully, "He's dead."

Mike choked on his water and spluttered, "Quit joking around. He's dead? How did he die?"

Joey replied, "I'm not sure. I just saw the news online."

Mike's face was a picture of shock. Seeing Joey on the verge of tears, he quickly put down his water

glass and headed to his room. He tried to comfort Joey, "Calm down, I'll give Violette a call... She

texted me yesterday at noon, and said her wound wasn't hurting as much, so she'd be back in a few

days. She didn't mention anything about Elijah..."

Joey followed him into the room and continued, "This happened in the wee hours of the morning. His Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

phone's been switched off, and his bodyguard isn't answering either. I've known him for years, never

seen this happen before."

Mike grabbed his phone and dialed Violette, putting her on speaker.

The call connected after a while.

Mike asked anxiously, "Violette! I heard Elijah's dead. What happened? You're not involved, right?"

Violette lay on her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, her voice hoarse, "I did it."

Mike and Joey were stunned.

Violette repeated, "I did it."

Mike, in disbelief, tugged at his hair, "You... Are you alright? How could you have killed him?"

Violette mumbled through her sobs, "I don't know..."

She cried for a long time, her throat painful and hoarse, "I don't know how it ended up like this..."

Mike comforted her, "Alright, stop crying! I'm coming to get you right now!" He swiftly grabbed a jacket

and hurried out of the room, "Keep your phone on!"

Mike hung up, leaving Joey standing in silence.

His boss was truly dead. And the killer was Violette. This was absurd! He'd thought that despite their

differences, they still had affection for one another, and could patch things up.

But instead of a happy ending, it was a tragedy.

As Mike was changing his shoes at the door, he glanced at Joey. He said, “Joey, it might indeed be

Violette’s fault this time, but I’ll still protect her.”

Mike finished lacing up and looked at Joey. "I'm sorry. If you can't deal with that, we can't be in touch

anymore!"

With that, Mike left without looking back. He'd once said that Violette was closer to him than family. No

matter what she did, he'd always support and protect her.

Joey took off his glasses and wiped away his tears. Cutting ties with Mike wasn't the worst part. What

truly hurt was the death of his boss.

He didn't know how he made it back to the office. Once back, he didn't have the courage to break the

news to the Deputy General Manager.

He called Brandon and relayed what he'd just confirmed.

Brandon asked, "Did she really say that?"

Brandon said, "Don't cry just yet. I'm at the hospital, and the news I got is he's still being resuscitated."

Joey paused, then collected himself, "How was he injured? What part was hit? Why is it so severe?"

Joey asked, "How could she be so ruthless?!"

"Did he say that himself?"
