The Marvelous Elijah's Return novel Chapter 140

Read The Marvelous Elijah’s Return By Rever Chapter 140 – Hospital Bed

Standing in the parking lot of Silvershore hotel, Mr. William’s body trembled as he stared at the main road, anxiously waiting for Elijah, his mind running wild with thoughts about little Dan’s safety. A couple of minutes later, a Mercedes that he immediately recognized pulled into the parking lot, coming to a stop a slight distance away from him. When the door opened he saw his daughter-in-law rush from the car, and then she hurried into his arms, wrapping her hands around him tightly as he held onto her desperately. As soon as Dr. Williams pulled away from her, she cried out, “Is Dan-” “Elijah ordered that we should wait here for him.” Dr. William said between shaking gasps, trying to keep tears away as he looked at her worried face. “He’s going to bring him.” “We should call the police -” “Let’s not act irrational, Julie. We should at least wait on him and do as he says until he gets here.”

“What if he doesn’t?”

“Let’s not pray for the worst.”

Hugging onto her body, Julie anxiously stared at the road, wanting so desperately to call the cop, and yet she waited.

A moment later, she saw a silver Ford approaching them, and tears immediately started forming in her eyes.

When Dr. Williams finally saw his son getting out of the car and running in their direction with a worried look on his face, a lump formed in his throat. But he couldn’t find it in himself to cry, even though his emotions overwhelmed him so completely. “Dad…” Vance whispered as he hugged his father tightly.“ About Dan… have you called the police?”

“We can’t, Van… Let’s wait a bit longer.” Dr. William said as he wiped away a single tear.

“But »

“Just a bit longer.” The sudden sight of a black van driving toward them caught the attention of both father, son, and daughter-in-law and they stepped back a bit, watching as it drove past them and parked in a distance.

When the door opened, Elijah stepped out holding Dan as the toddler licked a chocolate ice cream, his hand messy and the chocolate dripping from his elbow staining Elijah’s shirt.

“Sorry, for the lateness. This little guy made us stop when he heard the ice cream truck song.” Elijah said as Ryan and the others joined him.

A look of shock crossed Julie, Vance, and Dr. Williams’s face and their tears immediately stopped as a sense of confusion overcame them.

“Pop Pop!!!” Dan screamed, jumping in Elijah’s arms, excitement lacing his voice.

When Elijah locked eyes with Vance, he could see a look of anger and alertness cross his face, making him instantly stop, letting the kid down from his arms gently.

That made Mr. William even more confused as he glared at Elijah, and when his great grandson reached him, hugging his leg, his expression immediately softened.

“Can we take this inside?” Elijah calmly asked, making the doctor’s expression harden again.

“Pop-pop, do you want ice cream?” Dan asked, tugging on his great-grandfather’s pants.

A soft smile settled on Elijah’s lips as he stared at the tiny chocolate palms print on the Doc trouser, and when Mr. Williams saw the way his eyes beamed, he knew that this was not a hostile situation.

“Give me one reason why I should not call the cops on your ass now?!” Vance growled, glaring at Elijah.
