All Chapters of The Marvelous Elijah's Return: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

“Beep... Beep... Beep...” That sound made Peach grip tighten on the knob after she had pushed the door open and saw Elijah lying in the hospital bed, wearing a blue gown. “They're going to wake him up, right?” Peach whispered, unable to move from where she stood, swallowing down her fear. “Yes. Mr. Darius was in so much pain last night, that’s why we had to put him to sleep, but he will awake. It’s just a twenty-four-hour thing. He is just sleeping.” Dr. Wilson's voice startled her, making Peach jump back a little before she turned around to see the doctor holding a clipboard. A gentle smile graced his lips as he laughed softly, “Sorry for scaring you, by showing up from out of nowhere.” “It’s fine.” Peach said, almost in a whisper, giving the doctor a weak smile as she slowly brushed her palm against her arm. There was a brief pause as Dr. Wilson stared at her puffy wet eyes, darting left and right. Then he softly sighed, widening his smile to comfort her, and then asked “

A faint laugh left Peach’s lips, her shaky eyes on Elijah, wondering if he was kidding or not, and yet the seriousness in his gaze told her what she feared. There was so much emotion flooding her that Peach had no idea how to deal with it all. She did know one thing though, the feelings were too strong for her to be able to hold them in and pretend like everything was fine. “I have this thing with my dad that requires me to keep my identity a secret and...” Elijah trailed off, seeing the hurt in her eyes as she darted her gaze away from him, her shaky hand nervously exploring the skin of her face. “Peach... I couldn't tell anybody... I...” “It’s just a name, but why does it hurt so much to know that you lie about it, Elijah?” Peach whispered looking up at her husband once more. “How can just a name leave me with so much doubt about you, about us?” Seeing her body shudder, Elijah reached for Peach's hand, but she pulled back, awaking from the bed, and his heart ached as he let out

When the sound of her room door cracking open echoed in her ear, Miss Grace jumped from her sleep and looked over at her daughter, standing in the doorway. “Peach, honey... It's five am... What's the matter?” Miss Grace asked, sitting up in bed, her voice still raspy with sleep. Pouting, Peach shut the door, walked over to her mother, and climbed into her bed, hugging her. “I am nervous, mama... Not even the internet knows how much he's worth... It was easier when he was just an ordinary man, but now...” Peach trailed off as she held onto her mom. Smiling softly, Grace stroked her daughter's hair, and after a while, she whispered, “Honey, why did you fall in love with Elijah?” “The first time I met him, he was grumpy, but his eyes told me a different story... I could tell he was hurt... Maybe there was something about his wounded soul that made me curious, and then he slowly unraveled his personality...” Peach whispered. Then she raised her head to stare at her mother, mumbli

Like wildfire, the news about Elijah purchasing Reinvest Co. spread all through the country within just one week of him buying it from Mr. Astor, and as he and Peach sat in the car, he could hear the noise from the reporters outside, their screams and the flashes from the light.Because his ribs were not completely healed yet at that time, Matt, Ryan, and the others had been the ones running things discreetly at the company.But it had been two weeks since the incident, and Elijah was barely in pain anymore, and he could walk just fine and only experience slightly discomfort because his ribs still were not fully recovered.Looking away from the window, Peach rested her gaze on her husband, afraid because he had not gotten “clear” from the doctor yet, and secondly, this was the first time they were going to get seen together with him being a Maxwell.“The reporters can be very pushy. Are you sure your body is about to take such a big strain?” Peach whispered, looking into his eyes fo

Frowning slightly, Elijah knew that the voice belonged to Lawyer Meeks, and yet he was skeptical of the fact that he was alive. A part of him still could not believe it, but the rest of his logical mind seemed to think differently. “How did you survive the fall?” Elijah asked.After dealing with the Hayeses for so long, Elijah knew how tricky and treacherous the family can get to achieve their goals.“I black out during the fall and the next thing I knew, I opened my eyes in a tiny room with this old lady and her daughter, and they had been helping me since then... I can not walk, Elijah. The impact of my body hitting the water with such force injured my spine. I need to get out of the country to seek treatment... If I keep hiding with no proper medical care care, I will die, for real.” Mr. Meeks spoke slowly and he sounded very weak. “What happened that day… the evening the accident took place?” “I want to see your face first… I want to explain things to you in person because I d
