The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Read The Marvelous Elijah’s Return by Rever Chapter 130

An affair

The sound of a knock on her office door took doctor Dolan‘s attention away from her papers and files,

looking up to see Elijah, walking into the room with Ryan by his side with a nurse. “Good morning, Mr.

Darius.” The Doc said with a smile before reaching into her drawer.” Please take a seat.” Calmly, Elijah

took a seat in front of the desk with Ryan next to him and Dr. Dolan pulled out two folders, handing them

to Elijah. Hesitantly, Elijah accepted it and looked down at the first folder, opening it slowly and reading

what was inside. When he finished reading the contents, a look of confusion appeared on his face as he

glanced back up to meet Dr. Dolan‘s gaze. “C is not biologically related to 1?” Elijah said, more confused

than before. “Yes... But A is 99.9% biologically related to J.” Dr. Dolan explained, gesturing towards the

second folder.

Slowly, Elijah opened that folder, revealing what Dr. Dolan had pointed out earlier, and started to read the

paper that was inside before looking back up at Dr. Dolan.

“I‘m sorry, but this...this is not a mix–up, right?” He asked, his voice wavering a little. With a gentle smile,

Dr. Dolan nodded and said in a serious tone. “No, I am pretty sure the results are correct... We take

special care of our samples, so no mixup can happen.” When Elijah eyed him, Ryan was a bit confused

about who J was and who C and A were, but yet he held back his tongue, knowing Elijah didn‘t say much

to him when they met up this morning

“Is something wrong, Mr. Darius?” Dr. Dolan questioned after noticing the way Elijah was looking at the

paper. “No,” Elijah mumbled, shaking his head slightly as he pushed the papers back into the folder. “I

just wasn‘t expecting this... But thank you.” Immediately waking from his seat, Ryan watched Elijah and

the doctor exchange handshakes before he shook hers, and then he and his boss walked out of her

office.

For so long, he had impatiently held back his words, but the moment they got in the backseat of the car

with Dice behind the steering wheel, Ryan let it out, “Whose DNA test are those?”

“Cora and Amelia... Jacob is Amelia‘s biological father, but not Cora Hayes.” Elijah answered still in

shock, knowing that Jacob believed both girls were his.

“Wait! What?!” Ryan exclaimed and turned to look at Elijah, with wide eyes. “The Jacob that kidnapped

Peach, and the Amelia who‘s Jewel and Mr. Hayes‘s daughter... are related as father and daughter...”

“Apparently, according to this DNA test, Amelia is Jacob‘s and not a Hayes.” “Jewel was having outside

affairs in her marriage,” “Well, that‘s the look of it... But what I don‘t understand is why Jacob believes

both Amelia and Cora are his, but only Amelia is his biological child.”

“It doesn‘t make sense why she would take Mr. Hayes‘s daughter and give her to Jacob... there‘s no

sense or reason for her to...”

lithe DNA test never said that Cora was for Mr. Hayes, and if she‘s not for Jacob, then who else

was Jewel having an affair with...?”

“Damn!!!”

The car went into a quiet mood for some time until Elijah broke it again and said, “Albert was asked to

take a DNA test by his father... My mother–in–law doesn‘t know if Dean and the others took it, but

judging from what Peach heard in the hospital that day before her grandfather died, I think they all did,

and the doctor was the one that gave him the results.” “Dr. Jacob Williams,” Ryan mumbled, glancing at

Elijah as his boss nodded slowly. “We are still working on his location... But soon Rookie and I will be

able to figure that out.” “The sooner the better...” “We will have it for you soon, boss.”

Remembering her husband yesterday‘s conversation over the phone, Peach‘s nerves were starting to

rise, but she tried to hold it down. “Why would he need to seek medical care if everything is fine like he

said,” Peach asked, taking another sip of her coffee to ease her nerves.

Unable to stand it any longer, she grabbed her phone and dialed him, putting the call on speaker as the

other line rang.

As the line started ringing, Peach could feel her anxiety rising, especially when there was no answer. But

as she was about to end it, Elijah answered, “Hey, Darling.”

He had this deep husky voice that made her forget that she was angry for a while as her skin heated up.

“Oh, hi, babe.” She breathed out and placed her hand against her chest, trying to calm herself down.

“Where are you?” “At your office door,” Elijah answered with a chuckle. With confusion written all over

her face, Peach looked at the door, mumbling, “Where?”

The door slowly creaked open and Peach pouted slightly at the smile on his face like he was proud of

leaving her this morning and not telling her why he needed to go to the hospital. “Morning, Ryan.” Peach

said as he waved at her with a smile. “How was the result at the hospital?”

Immediately, Elijah‘s face went blank, not expecting that that would be the first thing that came out of her

mouth, and Ryan casually answered, “The DN...” An aggressive cough left Elijah‘s lips making both

Peach and Ryan turn towards him. “Are you alright?” Peach asked with a concerned look on her face,

rushing from behind her desk towards Elijah. “Do you need anything? Water?” Shaking his head, Elijah

forced a small smile on his face, yet eyeing Ryan, and the signal was clear in his eyes, “Don‘t say a

word.”

“Babe, are you okay?” Peach repeated, touching Elijah‘s shoulder gently. “Yes... Jacob is in the

hospital... I just needed to know if I won‘t have to worry about a lawsuit because I was the one who put

him there.” A frown graced Peach‘s face for a moment, and then it softened as she asked, “So, you are

not hurt or sick?” “No,” Elijah said as he looked into her eyes. “I promise. Everything is fine.” Taking

another step closer to Elijah, Peach wrapped her arms around him and rested her head against his

chest, closing her eyes and listening to his heart, relaxing after hearing how steady its best was,

mumbling, “Okay... Okay. That‘s a good thing. Thank God.” The vibration of Elijah‘s phone in his pocket

made him pull away from Peach and grab it, seeing Bryan calling him. “How‘s my plus one doing?!”

Check‘s voice boomed through the speaker. There was a long pause as Elijah tried to figure out what

Bryan was getting at, and after dragging out the silence, Check sighed and said, “The party, Elijah... Mr.

Wessex Butcher‘s birthday celebration...” It took Elijah a good second to remember, then he nodded,

letting out. “Yeah, sorry. I have been through a couple of things in the past weeks... But right, one of the

five parties.” “Right. I heard of your takeover at Investic Co... and that you have Elmer in prison... Going

in hard on the Hayes, I see.” Check stated, sounding impressed with Elijah. “Well, they came for me

first... And I am not the type to coward and fold.”

“Honestly, I don‘t expect you to do that either.”

There was a brief pause, and then Check asked, “So, are you bringing your wife along to the

party?”

Looking over to meet Peach‘s eyes, Elijah hesitated, not wanting to put her too much in the spotlight with

him, knowing that he was making enemies and they were bound to know that she was his weak point.

“No,” Elijah simply said, admiring the small smile that tugged on Peach‘s lips. “Cool... See you on the

twenty–six then.” Bryan said and waited until Elijah mumbled, “Sure,” before he ended the call. When

Elijah put his phone back into his pocket, he focused on his wife, smiling at her before brushing his finger

through her hair and whisperinging, “The house documents will be finalized this afternoon along with the

payment. So... When should we move in?” So many of Elijah‘s phone calls were done in a suspicious

way that could only leave Peach hoping that one day he would openly speak freely in front of her, but

she knew healing takes time, and time she was willing to give him since they had forever together.

“Umm, the day after today?” Peach suggested looking up to look at her husband‘s face. “So, tomorrow?”

Elijah asked with a raised brow and a smirk. When she nodded, he pulled her body close once more,

kissing the top of her head, murmuring, “If that’s what you want, I am down with it.”

At that moment, he and Ryan locked eyes, his expression turned serious as he stroked her hair, making

his man let out, “I should take my leave.”

silently, bopping his head to the music, Rookie‘s fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard, his eyes never

losing focus of the pictures that Doctor Jacob Williams‘s daughter posted on her social media platform.

Suddenly, the door busted open and Ryan stepped inside, shutting it immediately, making Rookie jump

slightly and glared at him.

Like he had subconsciously drank a hot tea, Ryan instantly spilled these words out, “Madam Jewel was

having an affair and cheating on Mr. Hayes. Amelia is Jacob‘s daughter, and the boss needs us to find

Dr. Williams like now!”

“The fuck!” Rookie blurted out, wide–eyed.
