Chapter 229
She was planning to go downstairs to find her mom, but suddenly there came a burst of footsteps from
the kitchen!
Rita got so freaked out that she didn't dare to breathe, and she bolted towards the stairs.
Forced to go up to the second floor, she leaned against the wall, gasping for air.
At that moment, the footsteps got closer!
That person was coming upstairs!
Rita hurriedly ran to find a hiding place.
In a moment, Lacey appeared on the second floor, heading for the master bedroom.
Lacey came to check on Violette.
She was worried about Elijah and Mike's competition.
After all, Elijah had been in a car accident before, and although he had recovered, the doctor warned
him not to engage in intense exercise.
Lacey didn't want to see Elijah lose and get punched by Mike, s
o she had to find Violette. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Opening the door, Lacey walked to the bedside.
Looking at Violette's sleeping face, she couldn't bear to wake her up, but only Violette could persuade
Elijah to stop the competition.
"Violette," Lacey began, patting Violette's shoulder at the same time, "Violette!"
Violette frowned at the sound of her name.
"Violette, wake up," Lacey raised her voice.
Violette slowly opened her eyes, her sleepy gaze landing on Lacey.
"Violette, get up. Mike and Elijah are competing on the tennis court, hurry up and stop them! You know
his leg isn't good," Lacey said, helping Violette sit up.
Violette rubbed her eyes, puzzled, "You said Mike and Elijah are on the tennis court?"
"Yeah!" Lacey told her what had happened.
Violette looked around the room blankly, breaking out into a cold sweat, "How did I end up here?!"
Lacey hesitated for a moment and then told her the truth, "You locked yourself in the car and fell asleep
yesterday. If it wasn't for Elijah finding you and taking you to the hospital in time, the consequences
would have been unimaginable. Violette, come with me to the tennis court first!"
...
The tennis match was stopped due to Violette's appearance.
Violette's eyes swept over Mike and Ian's faces, finally landing on Elijah's, "Thank you for last night!"
"No need to thank me. You should get checked out at the hospital again!" Elijah looked at her clean
face, his emotions calming down, "Last night, your complete blood count showed several values that
were lower than normal."
"Alright." Violette felt a bit sleepy, but otherwise okay.
Mike grabbed her arm, his attitude firm, "I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up!"
As they left, Violette couldn't help but give Elijah an extra glance.
Yesterday, after she finished her work, she was exhausted, but Mike called her to the hotel, saying he
had a birthday surprise for her.
She declined, but Mike insisted.
She had no choice but to drive to the hotel.
As a result, she got too sleepy on the way, and before falling asleep, she hit the brakes and pulled over
the car on the side of the road.
She wanted to go home to sleep, wanted to call someone for help, but she couldn't move.
So she just fell asleep in the car.
Thinking back on it now, she broke out in a cold sweat.
If no one had found her, she might not be alive anymore.
Elijah returned to the living room, and Lacey brought the soup to him.
Elijah took the soup bowl, drank it all, and went back to his room to rest.
At three in the afternoon, a heart-wrenching wail echoed throughout the entire villa!
Elijah was awakened by this childish yet loud cry.
It sounded like a child's cry!
But wasn't Ian already gone?
Could it be...
