Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 74

Chapter 74: DNA confirmation.

From Ruth’s room, the Mayfairs moved as a singular group to Jennie’s. Jennie was sitting upright in the bed, leaning against a headboard. In her hands was a piece of paper with some smudged fingerprints. It had been viewed many times by different people. The paper was the result of the dna test between Jennie and Ruth and it confirmed that Ruth was not her daughter.

Another piece of paper on the bed confirmed that Phoebe and her were mother and daughter. There was even one between Edward and Ruth, grandma Mayfair and Ruth, Phoebe and grandma Mayfair. Basically, they had done as many tests as possible to remove all doubt.

Jennie sighed for the tenth time in two minutes before putting the paper down.

“Is Ruth still crying?” she asked Luke who was closest to her on the bed.

“She has calmed down and sent us out because she wants to rest.” Luke answered with a sigh. “I don’t know what we are going to do about her after she finds out that she is not a Mayfair and Phoebe is.”

“She is a Mayfair,” Jennie spoke up quickly. “I raised her from infanthood, i breastfed her, stayed up late at night when she was sick taking care of her. I am the one she calls mother so even if she is not mine by blood, she is my daughter.”

Edward put a hand on his wife’s shoulder and calmed her. “Relax honey, take a deep breath. Nobody is planning to chase Ruth out of the family. We all love Ruth, and we don’t want to chase her away just because she is not our biological child. But, Phoebe is our real daughter, we cannot leave her out in the world to wander around. We must meet with her and see to it that she is returned home, her rightful home.”

Grandma Mayfair nodded. “That is true Edward, i am so glad to see that you are thinking straight. Ruth is fine, our main concern now should be Phoebe. I cannot believe that i have a granddaughter that looks like me and she has been living so close but i never saw her even once.”

The old woman wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes. She had been crying on and off ever since the results of the dna test returned.

She kept caressing the picture of Phoebe which Andre had sent to her phone.

“Go and bring her right now, i must see her before i die.” Grandma Mayfair sniveled.

“Mother you are not dying.” Edward hastily responded to his mother’s lamentation.

Grandma Mayfair raised her eyes and glared at her son. “You, you arrested my granddaughter. What kind of father arrests his own child? How will she ever come home now? How was she even raised in another home? How did you take home the wrong child Jennie? How could you not know your own child?”

She slipped out of the chair as if she was lifeless and boneless. Luke and Edward were quick to get to her and sit her upright in the chair again.

“I cancelled the charges mother, i didn’t know that she was my daughter at the time.”

Andre scoffed. “It won’t matter to her if you knew or not. Father, i warned you not to make any rash decisions but you didn’t listen to me. You too, mother, you kept calling for Phoebe to be arrested and punished severely. I hope you are happy about your decision.”

Jennie winced and defended herself and her husband. “We didn’t know that she is our daughter. We were just seeking justice for Ruth…”

“For what?” Andre barked.

Jennie was startled and she whimpered.

Luke and Collin stepped between Andre and their parents. Luke even pushed him back a little because Andre looked like he was ready to punch someone.

“Andre calm down. Our parents are not to blame, Phoebe did tell Ruth to die.” Collin shouted.

Andre laughed and tilted his head so that he could see his parents clearly while expressing his displeasure.

“If i tell any of you to go and die right now, will you kill yourselves?” He turned and looked at Luke. “Luke, you bastard i don’t like you and we were young, i pissed on your bed and told our parents that you did it which is why your little skeleton was confiscated by mom for a week. That’s how much i don’t like you so go and die.”

Luke scoffed and slapped Andre on the back of the head.

“You crazy fool.”

The incident Andre was talking about did actually happen and Luke was aware that his brother was the culprit despite denying it vehemently back then. To date, Andre would not admit that he had committed the crime.

Andre looked at his parents and Collin with satisfied eyes. “See, i just told Luke that i don’t like him and then asked him to go and die but he is still standing here. I don’t see him looking for a bottle of pills or reaching for the bedsheet on mom’s bed to hang himself. Can we really blame Phoebe for this or is it Ruth’s fault for being weak minded?”

He shoved Collin out of the way and looked at Luke again. “How many times have we argued and i told you to go fuck yourself?”

Grandma Mayfair grimaced at Luke’s choice of words while Edward stared hotly at his son. Did he have to use language like that in front of them? This was not one of his movies where he could use uncouth language as he wished depending on the character he was playing.

“Many, many, many times.” Luke was unfazed and he replied.

Andre partially raised his hands and asked, “Do you actually go and fuck yourself?”

Again, the adults in the room frowned at his language but Andre drove his point home as he desired.

“Point taken Andre.” Luke tapped him on the shoulder.

Andre shrugged Luke’s hand away and stepped back from everyone. “No, i haven’t even made my real point. Ruth manipulated all of us by pretending to be drunk so that we could worry and force David to come and see her. How do we know that she didn’t take those pills to smear Phoebe and once again cause us to pity her?”

“She wouldn’t do that Andre, you are going too far now.” Jennie gasped and quickly defended Ruth.

“Right, because she is such an angel.” Andre said sarcastically. “You may all be blind to her faults but i am not. Ruth is spoiled and selfish and we all have a part to play in the rotten nature of her character. I will make it clear to you all that i intend to protect Phoebe from anyone that wants to harm her in any way.” He looked around at his family, one by one and added, “Even if it’s you guys.”

He grabbed his black leather jacket and pulled it on. “I am going to find Phoebe and tell her that she is my sister. I also intend to apologize for the matter of her arrest. You guys do what you want.”
