The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Chapter 24

Anasty lawsuit 

The sorrow of a mother’s desperate plea was something Elijah had never experienced before, and he was not sure how to respond at this point. 

The look on Miss Grace’s face showed pain and concern, as well as desperation, and Elijah knew even though he wanted no burden of such responsibility since his entire focus was on raising to power and having his revenge, he couldn’t say no and be the bad guy when this woman, who had lost so much, was on her knees, begging him to save her daughter. ‘This mother and daughter know how to push every single nerve ending of mine.’ Elijah thought as a tear rolled down Miss Grace’s cheek. ‘But… I guess I will have to put all the hard feelings aside because Peach does need help… and do everything in my power to make sure she stays safe, at least for now.’ Smiling weakly at Miss Grace, he gently grabbed both her arms and said, “Please stand up first. 

Although she looked reluctant, Miss Grace obeyed and stood up slowly. 

Once she managed to stand straight, Elijah sighed and said, “I am not making any promises or commitments, but as long as Peach needs my help, I will do my best.” 

“Thank you, Elijah.” Miss Grace smiled brightly, wiping her eyes. “That’s all I can ask for.” 

The sound of the door opening got both their attention, and when Elijah looked back, he saw Peach smiling in the doorway with a paper in her hand, mumbling happily, “We are clear to go home!” 

Although her eyes were moist, it was alluring and beautiful with a glimpse of hope inside of them, and her happiness made Elijah feel a bit lighter. 

When Peach looked directly at him, a big smile stretched across her face, but Elijah did not react, yet his gaze didn’t stray from her as she pouted with a sniff and said, “Thank you,” 

‘You are such a wild card with your emotions that I don’t know how to handle you.’ Elijah thought with a slight smile on his lips. Then Miss Grace startled him a little when she touched his shoulder lightly, and he snapped his attention back to her. 

“I don’t know you… at least not that long… but they say people enter your life, not by coincidence, but to change it for the better or worse, or to teach you a lesson. Thank you for helping us.” Miss Grace said softly, smiling gratefully at him.

After a few minutes of silence, Elijah looked over at her, his gaze softening slightly, but just barely. Then he looked into the v-mirror, knowing how traumatic the situation was, and asked, “Are you okay, Miss Grace?” “Hmm,” She whispered while avoiding eye contact with him. “I’m fine.” The rest of the drive was quiet except for Peach softly sniffling and the low music that played through the
