The Marvelous Elijah’s Return
Chapter 96
The lawyer might die
The sound of loud thunderstorms rippled through the air before Peach spoke up with uncertainty. Her voice sounded soft and fragile when she answered, “I thought he was talking about us… my mom, dad. and me.”
After a brief pause, Elijah tried not to show the confusion he felt on his face and kept quiet for a few moments as his hands started tightening around hers, and then he asked, “Really? Did he mention that in particular?”
Slowly, Peach shook her head, her eyes falling closed momentarily, and then she looked at Elijah who seemed to be waiting for her to answer.
She bit her lip nervously, but finally, she sighed, and she mumbled, “Well… no. But Jewel always used to say to me, He was going to kick us out one day, and that we were a nuisance to my grandfather, and he would soon get sick of us… So when I heard that, I thought that was the day.”
“Peach, he could have been talking about anyone…” Elijah stated gently. “He could have meant any number of people.”
Even though the pain didn‘t leave her eyes, she gave a shaky smile and said, “I know...I know that he wasn‘t talking to us because before I could run off, the doctor opened the door and I froze when my grandfather locked eyes with me, just standing there… Then this huge smile crept on his lips that confused me so much…”
A sigh escaped her lips, and she paused as she looked down at the floor, and then she gaze at Elijah, saying, “He looked so happy to see me, but the trauma was done already. My brain was already. A mess. I never told anybody about his words.”
“Was there any fuss between Jewel and your grandfather before he died?” Elijah asked in an inquisitive tone.
For a second Peach didn‘t answer as a wave of emotion flooded across her face, but then she shook her head and said, “Not really… But that was the day grandfather asked me to sit on his hospital bed, looked me in my eyes, and said, ‘I know you are too young to bear this weight, but I trust you, Peach. More than
anyone right now,‘ I smiled at him and that was it.”
‘The old man knew something before he died, something raging enough for him to scream that loud to cause Peach trauma and something too deep for Peach‘s young
mind for him to tell her.‘ Elijah thought as he watched her expression become more
