Chapter 93
Violette was gobsmacked.
When Albina and Blake Dennis got divorced, Violette was still a kid.
Back then, she was always on the go, didn't have time to care about her mom's life.
So, she had no idea how her mom managed to save up money.
"If you don't want to go abroad, that's fine... I thought we could buy a smaller house too. We can rough
it out a little, but we can't let the kid suffer!" Albina continued.
Violette: "Mom, do we really have that much money?"
Albina: "We have enough for the down payment."
Violette: "Oh... Let's not rush, the baby isn't due for several months!"
"Time flies, you should think it over."
Violette nodded: "Mom, I have to go out. A friend's dad is celebrating his birthday next week, I need to
buy a present."
Albina: "Can't you buy it during the day? It's dark outside, and I'm worried about you going alone."
Violette: "There are street lights outside, it's okay."
Albina: "Then make it quick."
Violette got up, grabbed her bag, and left.
She hailed a cab at the roadside and told the driver Elijah's address.
Images of Elijah's gaunt and haggard face kept popping up in her mind.
She couldn't control her urge to go see him
, and had already made an excuse to go back.
The cab stopped at the entrance of Elijah's house.
As Violette got out Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
, she saw several cars were parked in the yard.
Seemed like, a lot of people came to visit him.
The security guard recognized Violette and immediately opened the gate for her.
She walked in, and
Joey was the first to spot her.
Seeing her, Joey immediately informed the people in the living room.
Lacey came out in a hurry: "Mrs. Bourne! You finally came back!"
Violette said in a low voice: "I came back for my laptop."
A hint of awkwardness flashed in Lacey's eyes: "Oh... Maybe you should go see Mr. Bourne? He's sick
again since he came back today. The doctor said that he got drenched in rain a few days ago, messed
up his immune system..."
Violette neither agreed nor denied.
Following Lacey into the living room, in an instant, everyone in the room turned to look at her.
Violette felt a bit alienated, even though she had been away for only a few days, p
robably because their looks were quite frosty.
Well, from their point of view, Elijah's illness was her doing.
"Mrs. Bourne, you should go upstairs first! Your laptop is in your room, no one touched it." Lacey urged.
Violette hesitated for a moment, then headed upstairs.
After Violette went upstairs, Joey said: "Should we go up? After all, Melinda is upstairs. What if they
start a fight?"
Brandon crossed his arms and said indifferently: "Leave them be."
Violette went upstairs and straight to Elijah's bedroom door.
The bedroom door was wide open.
Elijah was lying on the bed, his eyes closed, seemingly in a deep sleep, and
Melinda was wiping his body with a damp towel.
