Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 85

Chapter 85: The special client.

The ghost’s eyes exuded desperation and Phoebe could sense the anxiety that came from it. She offered him a seat, gave him a drink and immediately went straight to business.

“Hi, i am Phoebe. How may i be of help to you if you are ready to move on?”

“I heard that you help ghosts whose families are in trouble. Please I need you to save my mother, if you don’t she will die for sure.” The ghost rubbed it’s arms as it’s eyes became moist.

It was not unusual to see a ghost crying. Even after death, they continued experiencing emotional pain and physical one too if delivered by a ghost catcher or exorcist.

Phoebe pulled her brows together. “Please calm down, my team and I are going to help you but first we need to know more details like who you are, the identity of your mother and the entire story of course.”

The said team came closer to listen to the ghost which identified itself as Mason Sandler.

“I am…I was a fire fighter from the Citrus fire department. Three years ago I died while fighting a fire at a school. I stayed behind because my mother has no one else to watch over her. I was her only child, my father died when i was a boy so it became my duty to look after her when i grew up. My untimely death took a great toll on her and of recent she has been displaying symptoms of dementia. She keeps getting lost on her way home and she has ended up sleeping on the street or in police stations often. She forgets to eat, bathe and do simple tasks. She almost burned down the house because she forgot to turn off the gas. If one of the volunteers that check in on elder citizens weekly didn’t come by, there would have been trouble.

The volunteer was kind enough to take her to the Mayfair clinic and she was told by a doctor that she has a brain tumor. The clinic offers free surgeries but my mother is at the bottom of that list yet the she has no time to wait. It can be done earlier if she is not sponsored by the clinic but she has no money to pay for it. That’s why i came to see you, please save my mother’s life.” The inside corners of his brows slanted upwards.

“Oh boy.” The Saxon spirit felt like this was going to drain Phoebe dry financially. She had just given ten million to that son of a bitch Aaron and now this ghost was requesting for her help. Knowing Phoebe there was no way she was going to say no to someone that died in the line of duty.

Connie scratched her head. “We are officially going broke!! Mr. Do you know the cost of brain surgery? It’s not that we don’t feel pitiful for you but we may not be able to afford the surgery. And then there are after care fees….”

Shaking his head, Mason jumped in and highlighted that he wasn’t in need of financial help. “Since I died in the line of duty, my family received a hefty compensation and also I had taken out over five insurance policies. In total my family received a total sum of thirty million.”

The listeners looked at one another, if his family received the money why couldn’t they just pay for his mother’s surgery. The Saxon spirit wrinkled her nose. “Here comes the real problem, what happened?”

Mason tapped his fingers on the table, time was running out and his story was long so he requested that they drive to his mother’s house as he narrated.

“Please check her into a hospital. She is at home right now without a care taker.”

There was no time to turn him down, Phoebe picked up her bag and told the ghosts to follow her. Mason was right, if his mother was very sick then taking her to the hospital was the first step in helping him.

On the way, Mason began to narrate the details and the more he spoke the sadder and more infuriated they got.

“There was this big fire at the Olympia kindergarten school and a few kids were trapped inside. My colleague who was also my best friend turned brother, Turner and I went in along with the fire crew. One by one we rescued the kids until they were all out.

But on our way out, Turner said that he heard a child cry at the far end of the hall.

At that point the flames had engulfed almost the entire building, he decided to go back in and I followed him.

We split up to rush the search, as I was still looking through the classroom I heard a loud bang so I rushed for the door, unfortunately it was stuck.

I yelled and broke a window, Turner was

passing by just on time to pull me out but instead he pushed me back. I hit my head on a desk and became unconscious.”

Everyone’s face turned grim. They now knew who the villain was, his colleague and friend, Turner. No wonder the ghost was stuck here, he had been murdered.

Phoebe shook her head because she had come to learn something in these cases that humans are the worst evil. “Let me guess, there was no kid.”

Mason shook his head in response which made the ghosts to groan angrily in unison.

“There so many vermin like this Turner walking freely. Call Shark, let’s get him to arrest him.” The Saxon spirit suggested only for Mason to shake his head vehemently.

“That’s not what I want!! I have let that resentment in my heart go, I hold no grudge against anyone. What I want is for him and my wife, Victoria to give my money that they got after my death to my mother.”

Confusion enveloped the entire team of ghost helpers. “What has Turner got to do with the money and your wife?” Sylvester asked, with his curiosity at the pick.

Mason looked down as if he was filled with shame or great sadness.

“After my death, my wife claimed all the insurance money including my mother’s share. At first, she took care of mother and even moved in with her for a few months. It was only for four months though and then she moved out and got married to Turner. My body was not even cold in the ground and my best friend married my wife.”

The ghosts let out different curse words, expressing anger on Mason’s behalf.

He continued in the meantime. “It was a plot by both of them to kill me and get the benefits. I was angry initially but later on I let go because their lives weren’t as happy as they thought they would be. Victoria failed to get pregnant which caused a rift between them. They were miserable and fighting all the time. Turner even took up gambling and he had an extra marital affair with another married woman.

Her husband found out and went to the fire station to confront him. He beat him up publicly, embarrassing him so much that he was dropped from the list of the next possible fire chief of station fifteen. It seemed to me like justice was being served and i was pleased so my anger vanished on it’s own. I even hoped that they remained married forever. But things turned around. Victoria got pregnant and Turner quit gambling.”
