CHAPTER 159

As soon as Naomi read what was written inside, she shook her head in disbelief. She felt that once again she had failed to trust on her daughter but there was nothing she could do about it. What was done was already done.

Naomi therefore passed the results for the tests to everyone till everyone read the results and were astonished that the results came out negative.

" Why are you all looking at me and Purist like that? Do you all want to punish us now? She is the only one who has believed in me and has always believed in me. I don't think we have anything else to talk about. Let's go Purist" said Ruth who held Purist's arm and left the ward.

She led Purist to the washrooms and locked the door as soon as they entered. She decided to wash her face since she did not want anybody to realize that she was in pain and felt like crying which made her to leave the ward.

" Mama! What if I didn't trust you and help you out? Would you be angry with me?" asked Purist who was feeling a little bit sad about what was going on.

" Yes! I would have been angry with you because of the fact you could have not believed in me because I am your mother. Our bond should be stronger and you should support me in everything through thick and thin. But that.... those people I should call my family failed to do so. Tell me something Purist. Am I wrong to feel the way I feel?" Asked Ruth who held Purist's arm tightly.

" Mama I ......" Said Purist but Ruth suddenly interrupted her.

" No Purist. Today you are not going to defend them. Today they will feel how it feels when you do not trust your own. Come with me" said Ruth who got out of the washrooms.

Purist gladly followed Ruth till they arrived back at Ruth's ward. They found everybody still seated they way they left them wondering about the results. 

" I want all of you out of my ward except for Purist. I will stay here till the doctor decides to discharge me. During this period, I wouldn't want to see any of you. Get out of my ward right now" shouted Ruth at everyone.

Everybody left Ruth's ward filled with lots of frustruation. Purist felt frustrated too since she had no idea of what was going on in Ruth's mind. 

" This is just the beginning. I will not rest till I find the person who wanted to destroy me by using the doctor in this hospital. Once I find that person, that person will not be able to sleep even for a single day because I will cut that person's both ears" shouted Ruth angrily .

" I will help you cut that person's ears. Nobody dares to mess with my mama because I will mess with that person too" said Purist filled with lots of anger.

" No Purist. What you have done for me is really enough for me. You need to go back to your husband's house. You are a married woman and I don't want you to enter into more trouble till I save you from that marriage and take you back to school. Please go back home for now" said Ruth who signalled to Purist to leave.

Purist left the ward as tears welled down her eyes. She was astonished to find out that everybody were still standing outside filled with lots of frustruation. Purist immediately closed the door of the ward so that none of them could be able to enter the ward.

" You all need to go back home. My mama is not in her right state of mind right now. She is really going through a lot and feels betrayed right now. You all need to go back home as I have faith in my mama, I have faith in the fact that once she hears you all have gone back home, she will follow all of you back to the mansion without any hesitation" said Purist who left the hospital. 

" I think Purist is right. I know my daughter very well. She has done this in order to torture us mentally and make us feel bad yet we can do something about that. We will have to go back home just like what Purist has said. Ruth will suddenly follow us within no time" said Naomi as they all left the hospital. 

As soon as they arrived home, Akeshia walked faster into the house but was astonished to see Vivian and Lawrence seated in the middle of the living room. They were both holding guns on their hands. 

Akeshia widened her eyes in disbelief as she sat silently on the couch. It had been a long time since she ever felt scared in her life. As soon as everybody entered, they all sat on the couch silently.

" I never thought that I would get out of mambo cell and the first thing I would see is your scary faces. Now I wonder what you are all afraid of. Is it the gun or me? " Asked Vivian laughing annoyingly. 

" I guess they are not afraid of anything. The only thing that they are afraid of is to hurt you. My family is so brave as you can see Vivian. I am also not sick and I know my status as I am standing here" said Ruth smiling.

" What do you mean by the fact that you know your status? What does it have to do with us holding guns in our hands?" Asked Vivian a little bit surprised.

" Because I know the fact that Lawrence is the one who faked my sickness. Lawrence is responsible for everything and he did all these in order to trick Nelly to release Vivian from Mambo cell as the soon to be appointed case manager. That is the main reason why my mother's and Nelly's blood type did not match with mine which  was a lie. You both did this so that Vivian could be the only one left to donate blood for me. You also sent Tere and Haggai to hit me up so that they could frame Martin. What sort of people are you?" Shouted Ruth at both Vivian and Lawrence angrily as she went towards them. 

Nelly looked at them filled with lots of guilt. This made her to stand and go towards Ruth. 

" I am sorry Ruth. It feels bad to be hurt by my own brother. The one whom we spent nine months in the same womb. How could he and his wife do this to me? How could they use me as a puppet? But now I get my perfect answer. I understand the fact that my brother and his wife have never ever cared about me at all. I have done wrong to you Ruth. I don't know how you have found out that Lawrence and Vivian have been working with Haggai and Tere but I know that this is the end. I don't consider Lawrence my family anymore. You can now slap me for my mistakes Ruth. Do it for everyone's peace of mind " said Nelly angrily. 

Ruth did not slap Nelly but rather moved further away from her. It was easy for Ruth to love once she decided to love someone but it was hard for her to forgive and forget once she felt hurt. The pain always came back to her mind over and over again. 

" I command you both to lower your guns if you don't want a war to start here soon. I might be a professional lawyer but you must remember that I am a professional warrior as well. I don't take no for an answer. So! Put the guns down for the last time" said Ruth but neither Lawrence nor Vivian dared to put their guns down. 

Ruth moved closer to Vivian and Lawrence and therefore hit their heads together which made their guns to fall due to the pain they felt on their heads. Ruth picked up the guns from the floor and pointed one at Lawrence while the other she pointed at Vivian. This made Vivian and Lawrence to be filled with lots of fear. 

" Ruth! I need you to understand that....." Said Ryan but Ruth suddenly interrupted.

" You are not going to interfere with this Ryan. I know that they are your family but I think they need to be taught a few lessons. That is why I am going to lock both of them at the guest cell for a couple of days. They are going to live in their own house as guest prisoners" said Ruth who signalled to the both of them to stand.

They immediately stood and led the way to the guest cell. As soon as they entered the guest cell, Ruth angrily locked the door. Everybody looked at her astonished since they followed her to the guest cell. They felt like Ruth was being a little bit weird but did not really understand the kind of pain that she was feeling.

MARRIED AT SIXTEEN.
