Chapter 424
When the doorman saw Violette, he thought he was seeing things. How did she even have the nerve to
come here when her relationship with Elijah was so tense?
In the past, the doorman would swing the door open for her, but not this time. He dialed the landline in
the living room on the first floor. Lacey picked up.
"Violette's here, waiting outside," the doorman said.
Lacey sounded surprised. "Okay, I'll go check it out."
She hung up and made a beeline for the door.
What had been a clear sky was now cloudy.
Instead of inviting Violette in, Lacey stepped outside. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
"Violette," Lacey greeted, her face serious. "Are you here to see Mr. Bourne?"
Lacey knew that Violette was the reason for Elijah's injury, so she had no sympathy for her. Elijah's
injury was so severe that it nearly cost him his life. The last person he would want to see was Violette.
Violette nodded, "Is he home?"
"Yes, he's been resting at home since he was discharged from the hospital," Lacey answered. "The
doctor recommended that he rest at home for at least a month."
After a few seconds of thought, Violette said, "I need to see him."
Lacey asked, "What for, Violette? He needs to rest. The doctor made it clear that he should not be
disturbed unless it is absolutely necessary."
Violette got the hint. He did indeed need his rest.
"Violette, I'm sorry. I'm not the one who's stopping you from seeing him, nor do I not want you to. Even
if I told him, he might not want to see you," Lacey explained patiently, seeing the disappointment in
Violette's eyes.
Violette nodded, "I don't blame you."
Seeing her like this, Lacey softened, "Maybe you can wait here a bit. I'll go ask him."
"No need. Let him rest," Violette said calmly.
Elijah's condition was not suited to any form of stress, and she was uncertain about the baby's health.
So she could wait, to see if the baby could make it to three months.
She turned to leave just as it started to drizzle.
Lacey rushed back into the living room to grab an umbrella and ran after Violette.
Violette didn't have a car. If she wanted to hail a cab, she would have to walk a bit.
She heard Lacey calling and stopped. Seeing the umbrella that Lacey brought, she looked up in
surprise.
Was it raining?
"Take it, Violette," Lacey offered the umbrella.
"It's fine. The rain isn't heavy," she refused.
Violette picked up the pace and left in the rain.
Lacey, holding the umbrella, returned home disappointed. Updated at Drаmanovels.com
On the second floor of the villa, the balcony.
Why had she come here?
As the question popped into his mind, his heart ached.
