Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Bring on the gifts.

Nodding his head, Dr. Murphy apologized for the scare they had encountered. “She is going to be okay, there is no need to worry anymore. Again, we apologize for the mix up in the paper work.”

Grandma Mayfair was still disturbed and she felt the need to caution the doctors. “Teach your doctors to be more careful next time otherwise you could really end up making and irreparable mistake. What would you have done if Ruth ended up getting an unnecessary surgery?”

Both doctors apologized again and the family accepted the apology.

Ruth clapped continuously in jubilation and even squeezed out a few tears. “This means that I can go home finally.”

She couldn’t stand the idea of being in the hospital anymore when Phoebe was walking around freely in her house.

Her words angered the Saxon spirit which blew sleeping dust in her face. Her flaccid body fell back, it’s like she had lost consciousness.

“Ruthie!!!” Jennie shouted

“That’s for toying with people’s emotions. Enjoy a longer stay in the hospital.” The spirit vanished right before Phoebe chocked on laughter.

The two doctors quickly examined Ruth and informed the worried family that she was sleeping and her vital signs were normal. Her sudden fainting spell was attributed to exhaustion and medication.

Everyone stuck around at the hospital until late in the night. Phoebe once again slept over at the Mayfair house. It was another long night and she slept in the space again.

Very early in the morning she was woken up by a call from David which she answered extremely groggy and unhappy.

Great, i dream of him and he calls me at unholy six in the morning.

“There is nothing unholy about six o’clock in the morning.” The ancestor spirit shared as she manipulated Phoebe’s phone and tossed it at her.

Phoebe sighed and answered in an unfriendly voice.

“Two minutes past six Saxon, it’s two past six. Has your bed been infested with fire ants? Do you hate sleep?”

On the end of the call David chortled. “You sound delightful my love.”

“Call me that one more time and i will be the fire ant in your bed.” she threatened.

“Oooouh, scary.” he laughed. “If you are looking for a way to get into my bed Phoebe you don’t need to be an ant. You can walk in on your two human legs and i will welcome you with two…”

“What do you want Saxon?” she bit out.

“To tell you that i will be returning tomorrow and if you are free, i want to take you out. We can do anything you want.”

“What i want is to sleep.” she cut the call swiftly, shut the phone off and stuffed it inside a pillow.

With a smile, she laid her head back down and went to sleep on the bed. One hour later, she woke up, showered and went downstairs to join the others for breakfast.

Grandma Mayfair was already at the dining table, enjoying her meal. She appeared well rested and happy despite roller coaster of the previous day. She smiled fondly at Phoebe the moment she saw her.

“Phoebe, hurry and have breakfast. We should leave for work as soon as possible after breakfast, I enjoyed my time yesterday.”

“Good morning to you to Grandma.” She spoke teasingly.

Her parents and brothers joined them and everyone traded greetings. What surprised them was that Collin greeted Phoebe and she responded politely, no snarky comments or anything.

Nobody knew what had brought on the positive change in their attitudes and they just thought it was nice that he was warming up to her.

“Any update on Ruth?” Grandma Mayfair asked. They had left her sleeping and Ophelia was the only one that stayed back at the hospital.

“She opened her eyes at around midnight and had something to eat. Right now she is taking a walk around the hospital on doctor Murphy’s encouragement. He has told me that she will be discharged later today as she can recover fully from home.” Jennie wore a broad smile as she shared the great news.

It brought a smile to the everyone’s faces, Phoebe as well as she was still playing the kind daughter role.

“I also have good news to share, as of yesterday i am an official employee of the black ghost Cafe.”

Her announcement elicited different reactions from everyone and some people in particular were vocal about it.

“What?” Edward was shocked.

“Grandmother, why? Are you short of money or bored?” Collin asked, dismayed.

“Mother, I don’t think you should strain yourself that much, if Phoebe wants employees I can ask Alfie to find her some.” Edward pulled his eyebrows together.

The old woman laughed. “Stop fussing Edward i am old not dead. I haven’t felt this alive in years because all i have been doing is wasting away. It is very exciting working there and it gives me bonding time with my darling Pheebs.”

“Still, that is no place for a Mayfair to be! In fact I suggest that Phoebe closes shop. I can get you a good position at Mayfair corporations.” Collin strongly suggested.

“Excuse you?” Phoebe dropped the spoon she was holding. She wanted to put Collin in his place but Andre beat her to it.

“Who the hell do you think you are to tell her to close her business Collin? She’s doing what she’s passionate about just let her be.” Andre’s lips pressed together.

Jennie cleared her throat. “Andre I don’t think that your brother is coming from a bad place, we all want the best for Phoebe that’s all. Just because she can see those….she doesn’t have to be involved in that kind of business.” She was worried about their reputation when people find out that their daughter was a shaman. She couldn’t even bring herself to say the word ghosts.

“Think about our family’s reputation Phoebe. If you are to be one of us, you must behave like one of us.” Collin urged.

[Then i would rather not be one of you.] Phoebe thought and everyone saw that thought.

The Saxon spirit was angry with Collin’s words so it decide to act out. Just when he was about to sip the black tea, it prodded the cup and the tea spilled all over his new expensive suit.

“Damn it!!!” He stood up and went to change into something else.

Everyone else meanwhile dropped the topic immediately. Bringing it up after seeing that thought was not a good idea.

After breakfast, Phoebe went with Andre to the garage as he was giving her a ride to work, again. There she found three new cars with ribbons tied around them. One was pink, another yellow and the third black.

Surprise!, Andre loudly, with his mouth wide open bellowed out. “I hope you love the surprise, these two colorful ones are from me and that one with a boring color is from grandma.”

“Maybe but it’s more expensive than both your cars combined.” Grandma Mayfair winked at Phoebe who was smiling.

Even though they had vocalized their intentions to buy her cars, she didn’t think they would be doing it so soon. She also did not expect three cars and in her mind she had assumed she would be getting only a single car. Being showered with love in the form of gifts from her real family was a little overwhelming. Tears formed in her eyes as she imagined how much love she missed out on.

Quickly she wiped them and hugged each one of them.

Luke joined them. “Oh hell no! What do I get my baby sister now? Phoebe do you care for a fourth car? I heard mom and dad saying that they were buying one for you too.” He laughed and joined in on the hug.

“I could use a van.” Phoebe joked.

“Done, one luxury van coming.” Luke waved a finger as if he was waving a magic wand. “What else do you like?”

“Money.” Phoebe shared. “It’s handy in my line of work.”

Luke waved his finger again. “Done, just share your banking details with me.”

“Me too.” Andre volunteered eagerly.

“Me three.” Grandma Mayfair chimed in.
