Chapter 95
Grace was still a bit on edge.
After all, Elijah had a big fight with her over Violette last time.
Around midnight.
Elijah's fever had subsided and he woke up. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
A warm orange light was on in the room.
He sat up and saw Melinda crashed out at the side of his bed.
He frowned, got out of bed, and left the room.
......
The next morning, Melinda woke up to an empty bed, and she felt there was also something missing in
her heart.
She rushed downstairs to look for him.
Lacey was surprised, "I've been downstairs the whole time, Mr. Bourne didn't come down!"
Melinda froze, "I came down because he wasn't in the room."
Lacey: "Oh my gosh! Mr. Bourne couldn't have just vanished into thin air!"
With that, Lacey dashed upstairs.
She and Melinda searched every room on the second floor, but no sign of Elijah.
Melinda broke down in tears, "It's all my fault... I slept so soundly last night, I didn't notice when he got
out of bed..."
Lacey hurried downstairs, "I'll ask the security guards. If Mr. Bourne left, they would have a record."
Soon enough, Lacey got feedback from the guards.
Elijah hadn't left the house.
Lacey immediately gathered everyone for a full-scale search inside and out of the villa.
Half an hour later, everyone gathered in the living room.
"No sign of him in the front yard."
"Backyard's clear too."
"No luck in the storage room or the parking lot either."
"We've searched all the guest rooms on the first floor... except for Mrs. Bourne's room."
Upon hearing everyone's reports, Lacey headed straight for Violette's room.
The relief was palpable when Lacey pushed open the door to find Elijah sleeping peacefully in
Violette's bed.
Lacey immediately left the room and told Melinda, "Ms. Marcia, you should go home. If he needs you,
he'll reach out."
Melinda was fuming, "Why was he in Violette's bed? Didn't they have a fight? Why would he..."
Lacey: "If you hadn't been in Mr. Bourne's room last night, he wouldn't have gone to rest in Violette's
room. He hates people going into his room."
Melinda choked back a sob, "Am I an outsider? I've been by his side for ten years..."
Lacey: "Ms. Marcia, I know you've had it tough, and that life hasn't been easy for you. But you can't
force your feelings onto others."
Melinda: "How dare you talk to me like that?!"
Lacey: "Violette never shouts at others just because she's the boss. I'm not saying you're less than her,
I just hope you can see other people's strengths and realize your own weaknesses."
Lacey was basically saying, you were not as good as Violette.
Melinda left the Bourne family house, fuming with anger.
Eight in the morning.
Elijah came out of Violette's room.
After a good night's rest, his temperature was back to normal.
But he was still feeling lightheaded and weak.
Seeing him out, Lacey immediately brought him a hot bowl of soup.
"Mr. Bourne, Violette came to see you last night." Lacey watched his face as she spoke.
He held the soup in his hand but didn’t drink it.
He lifted his head, signaling her to continue.
"Violette came upstairs to see you when you were asleep, and Ms. Marcia was mopping your brow."
Lacey confessed, "It’s my fault. I didn’t know Ms. Marcia would be such a loose cannon."
"Melinda is not allowed in my room from now on." Elijah said in a low voice.
"Okay. Last night, your mother and Ms. Marcia said some harsh words to Violette." Lacey didn’t hold
back since there was no one else around, "She took her suitcase and left. I don’t think she’ll be coming
back."
