Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Rocks and thorns.

Victoria was so frightened that she made up her mind immediately without delay.

“Okay, fine I will do that tomorrow. It’s already late the banks are closed. I still have her bank number.”

Turner to jumped up with an ugly look of disapproval on his face.

“What!!! Hell no. If we give it to her then we will be left with nothing.” He lowered at both women like they were crazy. “That woman is already old and she may not even survive the surgery. We have a child on the way, we need the money more than she does.”

“Oh look, it’s another Aaron Gabriel.” The Saxon spirit commented.

It was because this was another man who was greedy for money that was not his. Rather than being grateful that he would not be arrested for his crime and repenting, he was more concerned with the money.

“I think you have forgotten that it’s not your money. If you won’t do as Mason wishes then you leave me no choice but to call detective Shark. Everyone in the country who he is, the best detective that ever lived. You may think there is no evidence or witness but he won’t stop until you are both in prison.” Phoebe started dialing his number.

Turner moved quickly in attempt to snatch the phone out of Phoebe’s hand but the Saxon spirit was quicker and she slapped him.

The loud slap which came out of nowhere scared him into sitting on the ground and looking around in fright.

“Who…who is there?”

Phoebe laughed. “Who else?” she taunted.

Turner fell to his knees, apologetic and in tears. “I am sorry, it was my fault Mason. I shouldn’t have done that, i am the bad guy here and i will spend the rest of my life atoning. We will take the money to your mother and take care of her.”

Victoria was so frightened that she shrunk into the chair and wrapped her arms around her legs. She didn’t want Mason to beat her up as well. What if she lost the precious baby she was carrying?

“Tomorrow, go to the Mayfair clinic and pay the balance. Hire a caretaker for Mason’s mother and send the rest of the money into her account. I am going to see to it that the money is wired to a law firm which will be responsible for paying the caretaker and catering to the elder. After that is done, you both have no business with her and Mason won’t have a reason to return here.” Phoebe gave them instructions and added her own like the lawyers.

As long as the law was somehow involved, these two would be forced to behave. When all was said and done, the Ghost helpers and Mason left the mansion. Mason thanked Phoebe for everything and promised to move on when his mother was well again.

Thinking about the old woman being alone in the hospital at such a critical time made Phoebe uncomfortable. She had been registered as the granddaughter anyway when she checked her in so she decided to return and wait at least until the surgery was over.

It was a long wait lasting up to over five hours and although she was exhausted, Phoebe was determined to stay until Mason’s mother came out of the operating theater.

The ghost was filled with gratitude. If not for Phoebe, nobody would be here for his mother. Victoria had not even bothered to come.

“Thank you for choosing to stay with her, I don’t know what I could have done without your help.” Mason thanked her for the millionth time, he didn’t know how else to express his gratitude.

“You are welcome, again. You need to stop thanking me Mason, it’s only human to help.”

“Some humans.” Connie muttered.

Although she looked okay, Phoebe could feel the stiffness in her body so she stepped out to stretch a bit and get a cup of coffee because sleeping was out of the question.

She received a call from David which she answered only because he had dealt with the online haters. He had a group of lawyers going around suing everyone that posted nasty comments about her.

Of course, his actions were also generating news and still keeping her in the limelight.

“Hey..talk fast, i am busy and tired.” She opened up frankly.

“Are you sure that you are not hiding from me?” he responded.

“Why would I do that? It’s not like I owe you or something.”

Her question rendered him speechless. His journey to chasing his wife was really full of thorns and rocks which she refused to move. Nevertheless, he moved on to a more important question.

“Is it possible for me to see to see you in an hour? I am traveling for business tonight..in a three hours actually.”

“I am sorry, i can’t. I am away on serious business which i cannot abandon at the moment.” She replied truthfully.

He sighed…disappointed. “I guess I will see you when I get back, just be aware that I will be thinking of you during the entire trip. Pheebs, please pick up when i call, stop running from me.”

“Have a safe trip.” She told him before ending the call.

On the way back from the hospital cafeteria with a cup of coffee in her hands, Phoebe spotted Andre walking towards her. A broad smile played on his face like he had won a lottery. Phoebe wasn’t sure if it was her he was smiling at so she looked around just to be sure.

“Pheebs!!” Andre’s smile quickly faltered when he reached her.”Why are you here? Are you sick? I know the best doctors here and they will see you immediately. Let me call….” he was cut short when Phoebe chortled.

It was lovely to see someone care if she was feeling well or not.

The Saxon spirit agreed wholeheartedly with Phoebe’s thoughts. “Now this is what family does.”

“I am helping out a ghost client.” She leaned in and whispered.

The last words she said caused him to shudder. Andre had witnessed it himself in the cafe, his sister was the real deal.

“Oh…what’s the case?” He asked as they moved to the waiting room.

She chose not to yell him about Mason’s murder. The ghost had not told her to publicise it anyway.

“His mother is in surgery, it’s been five hours so i reckon any time from now, they will be finished and we can get a briefing from the surgeon.” Phoebe sipped on the coffee.

As the hot liquid passed through her body, she felt herself coming back to life.

Andre stared at her, he saw what others didn’t. Although he had just met her, his sister was very kind unlike Ruth. Five hours in a chair, waiting to hear news about a stranger. Ruth would shoot herself in the head if she was asked to do this.

“I will wait with you.” he offered.

He followed her and they sat down in the corner seats in an empty row. Silence covered the air, all the two siblings did was steal glances at each other when they thought the other wasn’t looking.

Andre couldn’t keep it to himself anymore so he pulled out a copy of the agreement of her cutting ties with the Gabriels and handed it to her.

“Pheebs, what is this?” His eyes were fixed on her because he wanted to read her emotions when she replied. He had to know if she was hurt, afraid, shocked.

“Exactly what it is. I am paying a fee because those two selfish people raised me and i want them out of my life now.”

Andre had a billion questions but first he wanted her to know why he was prying in her business.
