The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Read The Marvelous Elijah’s Return by Rever Chapter 149

She‘s coming for him “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 “Do you want to take this conversation inside?” With a silent nod, Peach walked into the room, her eyes fixed on Elijah‘s face, the bruises on his forehead, along with cuts along his cheekbones, and an IV drip inserted into his arm. 

“It‘s a good thing no serious damage was done to his organs. He will be in pain for a couple of weeks, but that‘s it. The ribs will heal in three weeks since the injuries are not that severe.” Dr. Wilson explained as he moved closer to the bedside. 

A sense of relief was something Peach couldn‘t let herself feel because she had seen two men in her life laid to this exact spot and the result was devastating. 

“Your husband is fine with a ninety–eight percent chance of survival. I can assure you.” Dr. Wilson added, seeing how pale Peach suddenly became. “I‘m sorry about what happened to him. But he‘ll be alright.” 

With a shaky smile, Peach nodded, walking over to Elijah‘s bedside, and then she sat down, taking his hand in hers, squeezing lightly. Silently, Dr. Wilson watched her kiss the back of Elijah‘s hand, and then he cleared his throat gently and said, “I will take my leave now if you don‘t have any other questions.” Taking Peach‘s prolonged silence as an answer, Dr. Wilson walked over to Matt, tapped him on the shoulder, and mumbled, “Can I speak to you outside?” . 

“Sure,” Matt said, looking away from Peach and following Dr. Wilson into the hallway. 

Once the door shut close behind them, Mr. Wilson sighed heavily and said, “You got to get her home... I have seen that look in her gaze in a lot of trauma visitors‘ eyes, and it‘s clear that this place is seriously affecting her, and she should be away from here before we end up having her as a patient rather than a visitor.” 

“I see... I will try my best to convince her to leave.” Matt replied.

“Thank you. And I appreciate your help in getting her away from here as soon as possible.” 

“No problem, doc.” 

When the door opened again, Peach‘s heartbeat raised, and she immediately looked over at Matt, asking, “What did he say... Was it about Elijah?”
