Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 88

Chapter 88: Sibling connection

He began by clearing his voice. “Uhmm…Pheebs, there is something that you should know. It’s about your heritage….uhmm….I mean family. About these people, your parents…” Andre struggled to find the right words.

He wanted to be honest with her but how do you break it to someone that the people that raised her were not her real parents? He started rethinking the decision to open up because it didn’t seem to be the appropriate time as well.

His right hand touched one of his pockets in which he had the DNA test between her and Luke. Maybe she needed to look at the proof first and then he could break it to her slowly.

Phoebe chuckled slightly and bumped her shoulder into his.

“I know everything about them and my heritage so you don’t have to fight with words.”

She was calm and her words confused him. He didn’t think she knew everything because there was no way she would be so calm if she knew the truth.

“Know!! What do you know Pheebs? Are you already aware that your family isn’t really….” Andre was cut short by her once again.

“Andre, I know that I am a Mayfair and not a Gabriel. I know almost everything except for how i ended up with the Gabriels. You are my brother, my big brother.” Phoebe laughed at his shocked facial expression.

“Since when? Why didn’t you come home when you found out? How did you even find out? My God Pheebs!” Andre wiped a tear that was at the corner of his eye, he went ahead to hug her tightly like she might escape.

Phoebe had to tap him on the back because he was squeezing the life out of her. “Andre…I…can’t breathe.” She struggled to speak.

Immediately he let go but he held onto her hand. “Are you okay? Did i hurt you? Sorry, you are so tiny and i am so excited.”

“I am not that tiny Andre.” she laughed.

“I was so scared to bring it out. This is way easier than I thought it would be but how? Did you suspect them all along….what made you suspicious?” Andre gave her a quizzical smile.

She leaned back in the metallic chair and told him everything. For some reason she felt comfortable talking to him. “I have to say that i am glad that I do not have to deal with them anymore and the fact that they knew about all this and remained silent is beyond evil.”

Andre swallowed hard. “You mean that the Gabriels knew about this and remained silent and Ruth has been visiting them all these years and she has been on the receiving end of pampering from them. That means that she was probably aware of this too, I mean I wouldn’t put it past her.”

His words gave her joy, finally she had met a Mayfair that saw beyond Ruth’s facade.

“She’s good with her tricks but i am better now.” Phoebe thrust her jaw upwards.

The surgeon came out of the operating room, he walked straight to Phoebe for she was the guardian but the moment he saw Andre his attention shifted to him.

“Mr. Mayfair? Do you know this patient as well?” The doctor stared at him with half-lidded exhausted eyes.

Andre confidently stated that he did. “How is she?” He asked.

“The surgery was a success but we have to put her in the ICU for a day or two before she is allowed to receive guests. We will keep in the hospital for two weeks for observation before she is allowed to go home if she is recovering well.”

“When it’s time for recovery, please put her in a single room, VIP. I will cover the bill.” Andre offered.

The doctor started to leave and Mason run after him. While humans couldn’t get into the ICU, he could.

Phoebe knew that she would not be seeing him again for the rest of the day. He would also not move on until she recovered and he saw to it that she was well taken care of.

“Let’s go, there is nothing left for me to do for now.” She told Andre.

The ghosts didn’t need to be told. They all vanished into the magical space.

As they passed by the reception on their way to the elevator, Phoebe spotted Victoria and Turner who were asking about the condition of a certain patient, Phoebe assumed that they were searching for Mason’s mother.

Victoria whose eyes were roaming around saw Phoebe and run to her. “Where is she? I need her to forgive me for abandoning her. I have to take good care of her now.” Her voice was quoted with genuine concern which made Phoebe pleased. She felt like her work was done.

“In the ICU, you will be able to visit her tomorrow or the following day. The nurses have more information so talk to them.”

As much as she didn’t like the couple, she was relieved to see that Mason’s wish had come true.

As he escorted her to her car, Andre who had been watching saw her yawn. She looked exhausted so he offered to give her ride home.

“I can have someone drive your car back to your place. You are too tired to drive.” he told her.

She couldn’t argue with him on the tired part of his statement for she was exhausted and she didn’t want to drive but she also didn’t want to put him out.

“Are you sure you can take me home? Why had you come here anyway and don’t say it was to see me because our meeting was a pure coincidence.” Phoebe looked at him suspiciously.

Andre was overly dressed like he was about to attend a grand party and he had some makeup on. It seemed like he had put in too much effort in his look just to come to a clinic.

Embarrassed that she could read him easily like a book, Andre bit his bottom lip and held his chin close to his body.

“It’s that obvious ha! Any way my team advised that I take some photos helping out at the clinic. It’s a public stunt to keep my name in the news. I am glad I did however because I found you because i have been anxious to talk to you and tell you who i am to you then get to know you. ” He held her hand again.

Phoebe smiled for it felt good to have a brother that actually wanted her.

“You haven’t been answering my calls.” he accused.

She had not been taking calls from any unidentified numbers, not with all that had been going on.

“Call again.” She told him.

Eagerly, he did so immediately. When he did she saved his number.

“There, I’ll pick your calls from now on.”

Andre snatched the phone from her hands and made some corrections on his name.Phoebe laughed because he added best brother and heart emojis to the name.

“Not the hearts ha-ha.” She continued to laugh until they reached Andre’s car.

He had a driver waiting and he told Phoebe to give her keys to the driver who would drive it home for her. He wanted to drive his sister personally.

Because she was too tired, Phoebe fell asleep she wasn’t aware that Andre had already diverted from the road that led to the Cerene Apartments. He drove straight to the Mayfair residence.

“When I said i am taking you home, I meant it little sister.”
