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.

“Who knows… But the little fucker seems to know things that he should not know about this old lady, according to Texan, and now, we got to, Haha… you know… Send him on his way.” “The doctor-“

“Oh, right. By four on the dot, the house is going to light up with the family in it… BOOM! Hahahaha…!”

“What does that mean?”

“You know… A Bomb… When Texan told me that that was what we were going to be using, I was disappointed because I want to watch the lights fade slowly from their eyes with a bullet wound in their heads, but oh well…”

Frowning deeply, Dr. Williams looked at Elijah, his fists tightening as he mumbled, “Texan?… Jewel had been in my life all along, and here I thought I escaped. That my family was safe… How reckless was I… especially knowing the information that I have against her.” “You guys are friends of my security, Texan, and the guys doing this, and yet, you sit with Elijah at the same table… How should I -” Vance questioned.

But Teddy cut him off, saying bluntly, “Elijah bought his life and you guys’ live with money… and since Texan is a shit ass boss, we didn’t mind selling him out to a man willing to pay us four times the price Texan was going to give us for this mission.”

Quietness settled around the table for a while as a defeated look crossed Vance’s face as he stared at Elijah, but Elijah’s gaze was centered on bis father.

“I believe you.” Dr. Williams said, his hands balling into tight fists on the tabletop, looking into Elijah’s eyes, saying, “This is Jewel doing… If she can strangle her sick husband on his hospital bed with her bare hands… Then assassinating my family is nothing to her.”

The hall immediately became cold and silent like a graveyard, making everyone lose their appetite and just stare at the doctor with this sour look on their faces.
