Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 106

Chapter 106: Actress of the year award.

Being taken aback by her grandma’s behavior, Phoebe asked the quivering old woman to calm down little. Grandma Mayfair was holding Phoebe’s hands tightly like she was holding on for her dear life.

“What is wrong with Ruth this time grandma?” Phoebe raised her eyes, a tiny quizzical smile played on her lips. What is that witch scheming now? she asked herself.

“That was your father on the phone earlier, apparently Ruth is gravely ill and needs a bone marrow transplant from her birth parents. Her illness is much more serious than i imagined.” Grandma Mayfair’s trembling hand moved to wipe her face with a small pale blue cotton handkerchief.

Phoebe was puzzled by the revelation, initially she believed that Ruth was pretending because she wanted to garner attention from the family. But now it seemed that her suspicions were very wrong and Ruth seemed to be truly sick. There was no way Ruth would come up with a plot that involved the Gabriels mixing with the Mayfairs. Both of those worlds, she wanted as far apart as possible.

But, she couldn’t remember Ruth falling sick and requiring any bone marrow transplant before her rebirth. Had she missed it like she missed all the plotting and betrayal?

The Saxon spirit was unmoved after reading Phoebe’s thoughts. “Let’s get to the hospital first, after seeing the situation on the ground I’ll be able to tell you but…..I have strong doubts about all this. Nothing related to Ruth can be trusted.”

“This is karma for being an evil person, she deserves this and much worse, sister don’t allow your heart to feel any sympathy for that wicked woman. Keep going with your plan of kicking her out of the Mayfair house.” Connie curled her lips upwards.

Phoebe used her thoughts to order Sylvester to go back to the cafe for there was no need for all the ghosts to follow her besides Rosset may need help with something.

“Yes boss.” Sylvester said before he vanished.

The Saxon spirit brought a calming tonic from the magic space and put in Phoebe’s bag just in case grandma Mayfair needed it. They could all see that she was unsettled and very worried.

“Poor woman, it will be terrible for her to go through this if that witch is lying. I swear to God that I will do something to her.” It spoke through pursed lips.

When they got to the hospital, the two women headed straight to the hospital room where Ruth was. Grandma Mayfair led the way, almost breaking into a run while Phoebe just followed steadily.

“Ruth! My child!!” The old woman pushed the door open with all of her strength while calling out loudly for Ruth in a shaky voice.

Ruth was sleeping on her back and she had no intention to get up but the moment Phoebe walked in, she sat up with Ophelia’s help.

“What happened? Why do you look like this?” Grandma Mayfair fussed.

She touched Ruth’s face, hands and even checked her feet for some reason. Phoebe just stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do especially because her parents were there.

If she had been alone with Ruth at that moment, she would be laying the sarcasm on heavily.

Edward took the initiative to speak and break the awkwardness.

“Girls, there is no introduction necessary because you both know one another. Both of you are our daughters and to this family you two are sisters, blood relationship or not. It is our hope that you both can put the past aside and learn to live together in harmony.”

A smile formed on Ruth’s pale lips, her eyes not breaking contact with Phoebe’s. She stretched her right hand out and winced as if she was in incredible pain.

Phoebe wanted to scoff but she stopped herself. If she acted so rudely at Ruth’s sick bed, she would come off in a negative light so, she took Ruth’s hand and smiled dryly.

“Phoebe i am so glad that my best friend has turned out to be my sister. Please forgive me if I have wronged you in any way all these years. We always loved each other but I don’t know what I did for you to hate me, i just hope that you let it go. Let’s forget the past and move forward as the sisters that we are.” She sobbed and rubbed her eyes that had dark circles around them.

Disbelief enveloped Phoebe’s mind, she didn’t know what to make of the situation, fortunately the Saxon spirit came forward and made things clear.

“This sly bitch is faking it, she’s not sick at least not physically. Ruth is playing on everyone’s emotions and using them to hang on to this family.”

It was just as Phoebe expected so she tightened the hold on Ruth’s hand, squeezing a little hard. If Ruth thought that she was a good player, she decided to be a better one. Phoebe moved closer to Ruth and spoke calmly.

“Sister, you should have told me if you were in so much pain. All these years when you were partying, drinking and smoking, i didn’t know that you were ill. Maybe that’s what made your sickness worse. But it doesn’t matter anyway, i will take very good care of you from now on. The past doesn’t matter anymore, from now on i will treat you like a real sister. I will even forgive your real parents for what they did to me. I really hope that you will survive this sickness.” Phoebe embraced Ruth.

All the Mayfairs heard Phoebe loud and clear, and they frowned. Ruth used to drink, smoke and party. When did she start doing such things and endangering herself?

Meanwhile, Phoebe whispered to Ruth, “I know that you are not sick Ruth, you can fool every one here but not me. I am going to give you one chance to drop everything and walk away. You and i can never be sisters.”

Ruth trembled and clenched the sides of Phoebe’s shirt. She wanted to say something but now was not the time, she couldn’t risk setting Phoebe off by taunting her.

She moved back and said loudly, “Ruth, no, sister, which one of is older? When you get out of the hospital fully healed, i want to know if i will be the one spoiling you or you will be the one to spoil me.”

The bad habits Phoebe had mentioned aside, everyone was back to sighing in relief because of the display of sisterhood.

“Ohhh aren’t they sweet? My daughters thank you for understanding and not complicating the situation.” Jennie moved and embraced her daughters.

Collin couldn’t believe his eyes, he thought that Phoebe had come to cause more trouble but seeing this side of her being nice to Ruth made his heart soften a bit. Maybe she was not as bad as he thought.

“Any news on finding the Gabriels? They need to donate as soon as possible for our Ruth to survive.” Grandma Mayfair asked Edward.

He shook his head, looking grave. “Nothing yet but we are still searching for them. I have deployed all of my resources. Mother, what about the investigation, what did the detective say?”

Andre arrived and he joined everyone in the room. He didn’t say a word but sat down on the large couch next to Luke.

Grandma Mayfair went ahead to tell the entire family everything that Shark had told her and Phoebe. When she was finished everyone was equally horrified except for Ruth that was relieved.

As long as it was not a kidnapping or baby swap, it was all good. She could live as a Mayfair with her head held up. The nurse had called her actions an act of God and she was doing his will so it was God’s will for her to be a Mayfair.

Others didn’t think the same way however just like grandma Mayfair thought.
