Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 111

Chapter 111: The storm of blood in the city.

“A new storm is about to sweep over the country as allegations of baby swaps at one of the country’s best women and children’s hospital St. Marcelino in Citrus city have been reported. These allegations are already sending the elite and wealthy into a panic because because they are the majority involved. Sources claim that over one hundred babies belonging to wealthy families were replaced with sickly babies from belonging to poor mothers from poor families over a period of at least forty years. The police is already investigating the case and earlier this morning a raid was executed on St. Marcelino hospital, many documents were captured and hospital executives and some doctors were arrested and taken in for questioning.”

Almost every television was reporting the same news, baby swaps at St. Marcelino hospital. The news was sensationalized even more by the fact that this affected some of the wealthiest families in the country. The headquarters of the police in Citrus city where members of wealthy families were driving in and out had been turned into a center of chaos.

On the television the heavily surrounded station was almost similar to a crowded market place. Nobody knew who had leaked the news as the police had been intending to handle the matter quietly because of the caliber of people involved. Unfortunately, news like that could not be contained for so long.

As Phoebe watched the news from the bank while in line, waiting for her turn to deposit the cheque, she imagined the fall out that was going to follow the release of this news.

How many previously wealthy, spoiled and entitled young men and women were going to have the rug pulled out from beneath them? Would they react like Ruth and hold on to the rich families with everything or would they let go and walk away?

This would not stop at the children alone as some of them were married and had their own children now so the younger generations would be affected as well. Children, grandchildren and great grandchildren would all be affected.

People would be talking about this incident for so many years to come, Phoebe could already see the light of excitement in the eyes of the people in the bank. Usually, the atmosphere in a bank was dull, to some tense even as they dreaded the loans they had come to ask for or pay off, and the mortgage extension they wanted to request for.

Some like Phoebe would be trying to hide their excitement as they came in to deposit large sums of money or cheques.

Someone in the bank changed the television station switching to news being reported by Kelly. This was the kind of news that she would be reporting on as one of the best anchors in the city.

She was already on the case like a hyena on meat, sharing the updates vigorously with the citizens of the country.

“According to reporter Gibbs at the station, families like the Holly’s, the Andersons, the Meyers and the Valladont’s are some of the victims of this scheme that people have named the cuckoo incident. For those who are wondering why it has been named the cuckoo incident it’s because a cuckoo is a bird that is an unwelcome intruder in the nest. It is a bird that lays its eggs in the nest of another bird.

When the cuckoo egg hatches the baby cuckoo pushes out the eggs of the host from the nest one by one. In other words, the host parents are tricked into feeding an offspring that is not theirs. Some people are arguing that calling it the cuckoo incident is extreme because the children are innocent and played no part in the baby swaps. The question we are all asking ourselves right now is who is responsible for the tragedy and what will happen to the children?

We will now take you back to the police station where the commissioner of police is personally going to address the media and elaborate on the incident.”

Phoebe scoffed, cuckoo in the nest applied perfectly to Ruth because she had known the truth that she was not a Mayfair and yet stayed there, feeding off the family gladly.

“Oh my God, the Andersons were also tricked, which one of their children is it, could it be Valarie Anderson the actress?”

“They should have called it the falling from grace incident because so many are going to fall from grace.”

“No, the fake children are like fallen angels so they should be named fallen heirs.”

“Fallen heirs, haha, let me tweet that immediately.”

“This is so exciting, it’s even more exciting than the news about David Saxon’s witch girlfriend.”

Phoebe could hear the conversations from all around the bank and she raised her head quickly wondering why she was suddenly being pulled into the conversation. Had they noticed her and they were deliberately saying this for her to hear?

“About the Saxons, do you think that they are also involved in this mess? They are rich and all rich women in this city flock to St. Marcelino the moment they sniff a pregnancy. In my opinion, it serves them right for thinking that they are more special than the rest of us. I had my six children at St. Catherine general hospital and nothing ever went wrong with any of them.”

“Who in this country would dare to accept a white haired baby as their own on the same day someone in the Saxon family gives birth at the same hospital? It would be obvious that the child is not theirs.”

“That’s true, the Saxons have survived because of their hair. Nobody would dare to swap one of their children otherwise, they would be victims as well. Who in this city is as wealthy as them?”

“The Mayfairs are close to the Saxons in wealth, do you think they were affected too?”

“As soon as i get home, i am going to test the DNA of all my children. I may not be wealthy but this incident has opened my eyes. I do not want to raise any cuckoos.”

“Should i do the same, i don’t want to raise any cuckoos too.”

“My instinct tells me that some people paid off the doctors and deliberately sent their children to wealthy families. I am big fan of family dramas and i have seen many with such a story line. Everyone involved in this plot should be executed, they are simply evil.”

Every one had an opinion and the bank tellers were also carried away and they joined in on the gossip. It didn’t stop until the bank manager passed by and cleared his throat giving them warning glares. He also switched off the television and work was resumed.

The clients didn’t stop gossiping however and the Mayfairs were brought up three more times. Phoebe couldn’t help thinking, if only the people knew that Ruth Mayfair was the reason as to why the flood gates had burst open.

People had switched to their phones to follow the news and get updates consistently. A storm had come to Fog country and everyone was curious to see who was going to be swept away.
