CHAPTER 193

" Thank you so much grandma Evelyn. How did you manage to build up this hospital? Where did you get all those actors? How did you get the medicine that you sent Faith to use on me that would make me converse and nauseate?" Asked Ruth filled with lots of curiosity. 

" This is what I did. As soon as Faith contacted me, I went to the closer gates and found Martin there, he told me all what that had happened and the fact that he was living with his first wife. That was when I decided to hatch this plan and called Faith back. Listen! Magdalene was my best friend ever since childhood and I know he loved you so much. I will help you to get your rights as a lawyer and a wife and revenge Magdalene's death as well" said Evelyn smiling.

" What is the next plan? I mean....we only have five days left for  Ryan to come back" said Ruth a little bit worried.

" That isn't a problem at all. Five days will pass when you have your whole family in your arms but as soon as he comes here looking four us, he will only find a factory and not a hospital. He will feel like a stranger in his own town" said Evelyn laughing annoyingly which made Ruth to feel a little bit sad.

She wanted to revenge Magdalene's death but through the law, not by hurting him.

" What should we do now?" Asked Ruth filled with lots of curiosity. 

Ruth indeed had a lot of questions running through her mind. 

" My car is parked outside there. We should leave right now and go to the closer gates. I want to first get your license back as a lawyer. After that, we will come back to Mambo town and take your family with you" said Evelyn. 

Evelyn and Ruth immediately left after Evelyn handed over a check to the people who were pretending to be sick patients at the hospital.

Evelyn drove faster out of the boundaries of mambo town breaking the gates of Mambo town in order for no one to recognize that Ruth was inside the car. This made the guards to follow her running but lost track of her since she entered through a few corners that were present on the road. 

This made the guards to run back in order to give Ryan the news. As soon as they arrived at the mansion, the entered without knocking and went to the living room. They were astonished as soon as they found out that there were a lot of tension. Purist, Faith and Naomi were tied up in a stool. Nelly was tied up in a couch whereas Lawrence and Vivian were forced to kneel as Ryan and his guards pointed out a gun at them. 

" Sir! The gates to the boundaries of the closer gates have been broken by a metal car" said one of the guards a bit hesitant. 

" What should I do then? Should I run to the gates and try to make them? Get out of my sight right now. I am not in a position to hear any bad news" shouted Ryan at the guards angrily who immediately left. 

" Where is my mama?" Asked Purist as tears welled down her eyes. 

" Your mother is under the hospital custody because of a mistake that one of you has made. If the case is under the police custody, then that simply means that the case manager is the one who could have declared the verdict. Nelly! Who is the person that reported the case to you?" Asked Ryan as he went towards Nelly and pointed the gun at her forehead.

This made Nelly to close her eyes out of fear but as soon as she opened them, the first person that she saw was Lawrence who pleaded with her to say that it was him. As much as Lawrence often argued with Nelly, they still loved each other as blood never stopped being thicker than water. 

" Lawrence is the one that reported the case to me Ryan. Our own brother. Please don't do anything bad to him" said Nelly in a pellucid voice.

" You are right. I cannot hurt any of you because you are my siblings but I can hurt Ruth's family. That is how unfair it works when you have power over others. Isn't it?" Asked Ryan as he went towards Naomi and pointed a gun at her.

" Ryan please! Don't do anything to hurt my Aunt Naomi. Deal with me instead. I am the one who has wronged you. I am begging you Ryan" said Faith as tears welled down her eyes.

Ryan immediately put his gun down and left. He knew that he needed sometime by himself to figure out what he was going to do with Faith and the step that he was going to take to ensure that he escapes Ruth far away from the hospital he thought she was. 

Ruth and Evelyn on the other hand arrived at Olam town quickly and decided to go straight to the law firm. As soon as they arrived, they went straight to have a conversation with judge Lorna who was responsible for giving back a revoked license. They found judge Lorna seated in her office drinking alcohol and smoking cigarette which was not the behaviour of a full respectable judge according to their own town.

" Have a seat Dr. Evelyn and the famous lawyer whose license for revoked" said judge Lorna in a pellucid voice.

" Thank you so much Judge Lorna. I am here for two main purposes. Ruth is like a doctor to me whose silence had been revoked due to a few problems in life. I want her to get back her license. Secondly, I want a restraining order against some people who want to hurt my family" said Dr. Evelyn in a serious tone.

" Consider it done I two days time. I am only helping you since out of all the doctors in this town and other towns as well, you were able to treat my son who was suffering from a stomach cancer" said Judge Lorna smiling.

" Thank you so much Judge Lorna. Looking forward to you fulfilling your promise" said Dr . Evelyn who signalled to Ruth that they should leave.

The next step was the fact that Ruth had to do everything she can in order to be able to get the ancestral vase back which she had returned back to it's rightful place at the closer gates earlier.

They both journeyed to the closer gates where they found out that there were still a lot of guards guarding at the gates. This made them not to be able to enter as they spent a few minutes thinking on what they should do.

In the process of thinking, a police car suddenly arrived which astonished Ruth who got out of the car to find out what was happening from the policemen. As soon as she arrived at the police car, the policemen informed her that Tere had committed a lot of murders at the abandoned house. 

" How have you got to know about it?" Asked Ruth filled with lots of curiosity.

" A heavily built man dropped a flash disk containing the entire scene at the police station. We watched the video twice thinking that it was a lie before an arrest warrant against her was finally produced" said one of the policemen who signalled to the guards to open the gate. 

It was then that it dawned on Ruth the fact that the heavily built man was Haggai. As soon as the gates were opened, the two cars entered which astonished the people of the closer gates who decided to converge there.

" Tere Tupfer! We are requesting you towillingly surrender yourself to the police before we are forced to use a force action to get you to agree with us" shouted one of the policemen.

This did not make Tere to come out of the mansion as she felt that she needed to find out the main reason why she was being arrested and the person behind it. This made her to decide to escape through the back door but she was accidentally seen by one of the policemen who decided to run after her.

Tere decided to escape through the beggars corner where she knew that there were a lot of people which would confuse the police who was running after her about where she had gone to.

The decided to turn into a beggar and kept begging for money and food just like other beggars. The policeman who was running after her suddenly felt confused yet he was not unexperienced. He started looking for Tere among the beggars who kept seeking for food till he finally found her. 

He held Tere's arm tightly and led her towards the mansion where a lot more people had already converged. They were all curious to know about what was really going to happen to Tere. 

MARRIED AT SIXTEEN.
