"She was insane indeed! One hundred and thirty babies? Goodness gracious !!!" Jennie thought the story was absurd.
"It's madness, not God's work. That woman was selfish and arrogant. She has ruined so many lives with her actions. The hospital is even worse for knowing this and staying quiet." Edward placed his index finger and thought deeply. "We should sue the hospital for everything they've got."
On hearing his words, Ruth panicked. "No father! Then everyone will find out about not being a Mayfair!!! i am not ready. Please, can we wait at least until when i am not afraid."
"I agree on waiting Edward, initially I too wanted to sue because I know that all affected families will do it but then again I don't want our na to be dragged in this ss. It going to be chaotic, besides I think that the girls need ti to adjust to these changes but that's only if Phoebe is okay with waiting on revealing who she truly is." Grandma Mayfair gave her submission.
All their eyes turned to look at Phoebe who was sitting between Andre and Luke. She looked at Ruth, she had an expression of worry written allover her face. 'I hope you now understand that this is my family and my opinion counts more than what you want Ruth.' she thought.
In as much as she wanted Ruth to lose her social status, it was more important to Phoebe that her family sees her in a different light than what Ruth had told them. She had seen their faces after throwing out Ruth's belongings, her parents wore disapproving expressions on their faces but didn't say anything. It was ti to change her strategy.
She shrugged like it wasn't a big deal.
"I am okay with it besides, I think that we need to concentrate on Ruth's recovery for now. We can take ti and do things slowly." Phoebe smiled warmly.
Her response had ward their hearts especially Collin again, who expected her to demand that they announced everything to the public imdiately and throw Ruth out. He suddenly had the thought that Phoebe was not so bad.
Ruth believed that she had Phoebe by the balls, and she could do nothing but accept everything the family wanted.
"Thank you so much Phoebe, I promise that when i am ready, we will let everyone know that you are a Mayfair now." A tentative smile made it's way on her lips.
After a short while Edward stepped out to make a phone call, Phoebe sneaked out after two minutes because she wanted to talk to him. She watched him and when he was done, she approached him.
"Father, I heard that the Gabriels left town and I think I know where they might have gone to." Phoebe was certain that they had gone to the house in Magic city. For Ruth's good health and out of the goodness of her heart, she shared a possible address. She even shared the Darma island idea just in case.
Aaron and Elizabeth had sent her pictures of the house back when they were trying to coax her into moving there. Thank God they did because she knew the address of the place. Phoebe sent the pictures to Edward to make his job simpler.
"Father, let's not let Ruth know until we find them, we shouldn't raise everyone's hopes high just in case they went else where." Again, Phoebe made another suggestion out of the goodness of her heart.
"You really care about your sister's health, i am so proud to have a daughter like you." Edward ruffled her hair slowly.
He walked away to share the new findings with his investigators while Phoebe found a vending machine and got herself a bag of nuts.
As she walked back to the hospital room, she bumped into Collin, Phoebe wasn't in the mood for his insults so she bypassed him without a word.
"Wait." He spoke suddenly.
She paused and whirled around. "I am sorry is it you are talking to? What could you possibly want with a con woman like oh great sir Collin Mayfair."
She smirked and curtsied like she was in the presence of royalty.
Collin growled inwardly, the tiny woman standing before him knew how to push his buttons.
"I...just want to thank you for being considerate, I didn't know that you had it in you."
Phoebe chuckled. Finally her eldest brother was talking calmly to her for the first ti since they t.
[It's not your fault for being a jerk, you are just blind about the things going on around you especially when it cos to Ruth. As you learn about her, your heart is going to break.]
He read her thoughts but didn't react, instead he turned to walk away with a frown.
"Collin?" Phoebe called him, in as much as they didn't have the best relationship, Phoebe didn't want her brother to be toyed around with by a woman.
"What is it?" He turned around.
"That news anchor you were with the other ti, you should end it." Phoebe chewed on the inside of her cheek.
"You don't even know her, why do you say that?" Collin arched an eyebrow.
How was she supposed to tell him that she knows the future and he had beco a laughingstock when the truth was revealed.
"Nothing." Phoebe shook her head.
[She's sleeping with her boss and pictures of them will soon be in the news. You will beco a laughing stock and won't show your face in public for a few months I may not like you much but as a sister, i just thought you should know. Whatever happens, at least i warned you.]
On reading her thoughts, Collin frowned so more and walked away.
What he had read kept ringing like a bell at the back of his mind. It was the second ti he was seeing her thoughts concerning his relationship. He did not believe her but checking would not harm anyone. He pulled out his phone and called his assistant.
"Put a tail on Kelly, I want to know all the people she ets and what she does especially anything related to her boss." Collin hung up and looked back but Phoebe was already heading back into the room to join the rest of the family.
Dr. Murphy walked into the room ten seconds after Phoebe along with doctor that had diagnosed Ruth. Edward stood up the mont he saw them both. Everyone gave them full attention, expecting an update on Ruth's condition especially because Dr. Murphy was carrying so papers.
"Is there a change in her condition?" Jennie asked him quickly.
"I have good news everyone, after doing so more tests and comparing them to the ones which had been done, i discovered so inconsistencies. Ruth does not have an auto immune disorder." He shared.
Everyone was shocked but mostly relieved. However they needed more detailed information.
"What? How can this be doctor, i feel sick? Did you make a mistake?" Ruth asked in a soft weak voice.
The doctor lowered his head to apologize, seemingly alard as well. "I am sorry but this isn't entirely my fault, my intern Dr. Boosie must have mixed up the test results which created this ss. Those test results belonged to another patient, please forgive us I will reprimand doctor Boosie strongly."
Jennie stood up. "So does this an that Ruth doesn't require a bone marrow transplant Dr. Murphy?"
