    Seeing Brandon all puffed up, thewyer exined, "After Mr. Bourne''s mother passed away, he came


    to me to change his will."


    "Oh?" Brandon asked.


    "I don''t drink, and I don''t do parties. If there is any change in Mr. Bourne''s condition, please let me


    know ASAP," thewyer replied.


    "Alright, let me walk you out," Brandon responded.


    After thewyer left, Brandon checked the time. Before he knew it, it was already 7 p.m.


    Violette woke up, a little disoriented.


    "Violette, we''re heading home!" Mike eximed as she woke up. "Just got back from Hope Hospital.


    Elijah is still hanging in there. He was transferred to the ICU. The media are ruthless, and jumped the


    gun to report his death."


    Mike helped Violette to her feet, and she was more alert.


    "What time is it?" she asked.


    "Almost 8 p.m.," Mike replied as he helped her into her wheelchair. "You hungry?"


    Violette nodded.


    She hadn''t been eating well these past few days.


    Now, she just wanted a good meal, a warm bath, and a good night''s sleep.


    With theck of sleep from the past few days, she was feeling a bit woozy.


    "Got food at home. Let''s head back for dinner! The kids are stoked to hear you''re back!" Mike helped

    Seeing their faces, Violette felt both joy and sorrow.


    "I missed you guys so much," she said.


    "Mommy, we missed you too! Did you hurt your leg? Does it hurt?" Rita asked, looking at her leg.


    "Mommy, which leg is it?"


    "My right leg," Violette replied.


    "Mommy, you need to rest at home and not move around too much. It''ll be better in a few days," Rita


    said.


    "I will, sweetie," Violette promised.


    For the next week, Violette stayed in bed to recover. Mike wanted to stay home to take care of her, but


    she insisted he go to work.


    The bodyguard would cook after dropping the kids off at school. Adrian woulde by every day at


    noon to change her bandages and give her shots. After a week of rest, her leg was much better. She


    was even able to get out of bed and walk around the yard.
