Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 65

Chapter 65: Sister?

Luke quickly stood and accepted the envelope from him. His heart was racing like a fast car, the tension kept surging as he opened the envelope.

Before looking at them, he closed his eyes took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. When he felt calm enough, he opened his eyes and looked at them.

“Oh my God!” He screamed as he sank in the chair on seeing the results.

His scream was so girly that the nurse passing by outside of his door thought the doctor was treating a little girl inside. Inside the office where no little girl was, Luke’s heart had picked up pace again.

Possibility of relationship is 50%

Luke kept reading the statement over and over again. Suspecting that he and Phoebe were actually related was one thing but actually confirming it was another. He mulled over what to do next and had so many questions running through his mind.

How did it happen? How was it possible? When? How come that no one realized anything? How would Phoebe react to the news? What about his family?

In a haste, he stowed the documents safely back into the envelope and rushed out of his office. He called Andre on his way home, he was the only other person that he could talk about this with.

“Andre, drop whatever you are doing right now and meet me at home.”

“Hell no! I have this gig and I am surrounded by a few beauties. I am not leaving that….” Andre was rudely interrupted by Luke.

“Cut it out! The results are back and you need to get you wayward ass home ASAP.” He hung up abruptly.

When he got home, Luke stayed in the car for a while, gathering his thoughts and calming his nerves. The last thing he wanted was to appear nervous just in case he ran into someone and ended up blurting out everything.

After a few minutes, he picked up his phone, the envelope and stepped out of the car. Luke opted to use the path that was in the garden which led to the side entrance of the house. It was a path that was barely used unless someone wanted access to the flower gardens.

He kept looking back and forth like as if he was carrying a briefcase of stolen diamonds and thieves were hot on his tail.

Unintentionally he bumped into someone, due to panic and sweaty hands, the envelope fell and so did his phone.

His heartbeat doubled when he saw that the one person he had bumped into was the very one he was hoping not to bump into; his sister.

Ruth who was browsing on her phone and planning to leave the house stealthily using the side entrance was also startled to meet Luke. He avoided her eyes and looked around furtively like a child caught by his parents stealing sugar.

A frown formed on her face as she asked if he was okay. “You look nervous.” She chuckled and wiped a drop of sweat from the side of his face.

Quickly he reached for the white envelope and tucked it under his armpit like it was the safest place he could put it.

“I…i.. well it’s nothing.” He began to walk away but she called him back.

“Your phone.” Ruth picked it up and handed it to him. She couldn’t understand his behavior and why he was guarding the envelope with his life. It wasn’t as if she planned to peek, after all, it wasn’t unusual for him to bring back work from the hospital.

She took one last glance at the envelope, shrugged and continued on her way. Luke stood there, he wanted to run but his feet wouldn’t let him, it’s like he was stuck.

When his sister disappeared, he sighed deeply feeling relieved that her nosy self didn’t reach for the envelope first. He wiped cold sweat and walked to the stairs, planning to go to his bedroom. He found Ophelia coming down the stairs.

“Mr. Luke should I bring dinner to your room? Everyone has already eaten.” Ophelia asked but was dismissed without a word being said to her.

When he got to his room, he checked the documents for the eighth time just to confirm that he wasn’t dreaming. He paced back and forth decided to take a quick bath while waiting for Andre to get home.

After his bath and change of clothes, Andre was still not there and Luke got impatient. He was about to call Andre again when he heard a knock on his door.

“It’s me.” Andre’s voice came from the other side.

Luke rushed and opened the door, before Andre could say anything he pulled him inside and locked the door once again.

Andre looked at him quizzically. He had already put two and two together. The dna test results were back and Luke was nervous and impatient. He must have confirmed his suspicions.

Pointing at the envelope that was resting on the work table, Luke told Andre to read the document himself.

“You need to see it to believe it.”

Without wasting time, Andre read it and the test confirmed Luke’s suspicion.

“Our suspicions were right, Phoebe is related to us.” Luke shared, perched at the edge of the big bed.

Andre clapped once. “Why is it so small, only 50%? Is she a cousin or something? Did Aunt Maureen have a child that we don’t know about?”

“No, you dumb ass! This means that Phoebe isn’t some distant cousin. She’s our sister, blood sister, at least she’s mine because I used my hair sample.” Luke wiped his face with his palm.

A smart guy that he was, his not so intelligent brother was really frustrating him because he was slow at catching on.

“But how? Is this really legit?” Andre couldn’t believe what he was hearing, He hoped that Phoebe would turn out to be a long lost cousin or relative but sister was far from his imagination.

One of their parents had to be the parent and since it would have been noticeable if their mother was pregnant, their father naturally fell on the sword of suspects. Scratching his head, he came to a conclusion that their father must have had an affair.

“Dad had an affair. It’s the only thing that makes sense because between mom and Dad, they had only four children. Our poor mother, this is going to break her.”

“You are an idiot.” Luke laughed.

Andre paused his words when Luke called him an idiot.

“Were you not listening at all to what I said. Let me give it to you straight one more time. Phoebe is our blood sister, not half but real sibling.”

Andre sat next to him and remained quiet, the information he was receiving from his brother was so confusing and only their parents could possibly have the answers to their questions.

“We have to ask mom and Dad right now, they must know something.” Andre stood up but his brother pulled on his hand.

“No, no not like this. Ruth might get distressed by all this. We need to come up with a good plan on how to go about this.” Luke made a reasonable suggestion.

The two brothers spent a good part of the rest of the night coming up with a plan on how best to spring this surprise on the rest of the family.
