The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Silently, Elijah studied Dr. William‘s face for any sign of lying, which he never found in the doctor‘s
expression.

Finally, Elijah leaned forward and said, “Let me get this clear, so none of the seven is his?”

“Yes.

Hayes fathered none of Jewel‘s children.” Dr. William replied.

There was a long pause as Elijalı tried to force his brain to come to terns with that fact and then he
scoffed in disbelief, sliocked about how much Madam Jewel had gotten away with.

“Do you have a copy of the results?” Elijah finally asked after collecting his thoughts.

Dr. Williams‘s face fell, remorse and guilt evident as he whispered, “No...

I gave Hayes those because he requested them the day Meeks visited him at the hospital...

The copies were all destroyed after his death...

Jewel said that if anything about the results come out in any way, I and my children would be dead, so I
had to do what I had to do to protect their life...”

After hesitating for a while, he sighed and said, “If Meeks didn‘t get killed, he would have been a great
help.”

“Yeah.

But a dead man is of no use to the living, and that‘s why I can‘t make the same mistake twice.” Elijah
said, knowing his hands were tied and this was his only move.

Fear and confusion filled every aspect of Dr. William‘s face, but the doctor quickly recovered.

He cleared his throat and said, “What are you talking about?”

“My name is Elijah Maxwell from the land of Bordoria, the sole heir of Lisa Maxwell and –.”

“You are Mr. Maxwell‘s son...

You are the child of the most well–known figure in the business world in Bordoria, a man of high
stature...

The news about him having a son had always felt

like a rumor and then the truth – ”

“Yeah...

I have to earn my place by his side and until then my existence is only a rumor to the majority and facts
to a few...

But enough of my family...”

Holding back for a moment, Elijah inhaled deeply and said, “If you want to disappear from Jewel‘s grip,
I can arrange for you and your family to travel to Bordoria, seek protection under my father‘s wing, and
wait.”

The sense of disbelief that had Dr. Williams hostage had him frozen in place as he gazed at Elijah,
saying nothing.

Elijah continued, “As you already know, my father is very influential in Bordoria society, and I am sure
he can provide security for you and your family, and even give you protection...

If you agree to leave.” Staring blankly at Elijah, Dr. Williams said, “Your father would give us protection?
That would make our lives easier and safer, but would such a great offer comes free or –.”

“Wait until the day I will need you to testify against Jewel.” Elijah cut in with certainty.

“A woman like Jewel is a sneaky fox...

Do you think you can trap her behind bars?”

“People with filthy hands and shady businesses always fall through the cracks and are caught
eventually...

So, when that day comes, will you be willing to help me lock her up for good?”

“I mean...”

The question about if Elijah was truly a Maxwell and countless other questions about him made Dr.
William pause on his decision and then he sighed, “It will be my honor to seek protection from the
Maxwell, and if I am required to pay back the favor with the truth, I will wholeheartedly comply...”

“Good...

I will make the call then.”

Calmly Elijah stood from his seat and walked out, leaving, Dr. Williams staring vacantly at the wall with
wide eyes, realizing whose sight he was just in.

After walking a bit further down the hall, Elijah stopped and pulled out his phone, calling a number he
knew intimately and waiting until a male voice answered.

“Son,” Mr. Maxwell greeted him with a warm tone, “how are things going with you?”

“I just finished discussing some details with a Doctor named Williams, and I need you to provide a safe
house for him and his family and to keep a low profile,” Elijah said.

“You said that you were going to Syldavia to make a name for yourself only, so why are you getting
involved with something that doesn‘t concern you, son?” “Doesn‘t concern me? You must not be getting
the right updates on me then...

because if you do, then you would be enraged at the Hayes as much as I am.”

The was a brief pause and then Mr. Maxwell sighed, letting out calmly, “I thought you didn‘t want me to
get involved because you never called.

But if that is a code of asking me to ruin them because I can bankrupt that family within–”

“Don‘t!” Elijah blurted out honestly without thinking.
