Chapter 7 Elizabeth got exposed

Granny replies to her daughter in-laws question

Three days after my son was buried, Elizabeth's husband came back from the overseas. He noticed villagers didn't welcome him like they always did. He kept wondering till he got home. On seeing him, Elizabeth was shocked because she wasn't aware of him returning to the country that day. She acted suspiciously that one would figure that there's something wrong. Her husband left to greet the neighbors and find out why they didn't welcome him. The neighbors explained all that happened in his absence. He felt disappointed and put a call through to both families for an emergency meeting. The families came around and I was also in their midst. I was asked to explain what transpired which I did. They felt pity for me and apologized on Elizabeth's behalf. Elizabeth was also asked to give an account of what happened which she did and also confess about what she had done in the past. She explained that she used her womb that's why she couldn't conceive. The families felt ashamed and pleaded with Elizabeth's husband on her behalf. After her confession,she told the families she would be dead after seven days which came true. Elizabeth's husband got married few months after Elizabeth's death and traveled back overseas with his new family to start a new life. Before he left,he visited me and gave me some money and gifts.

" That's painful,so how about my father" asked granny's son.
