CHAPTER 237

As soon as Ruth saw that the doctor had fallen asleep, she immediately urged Faith and Purist to go to sleep. Faith and Purist obediently went to sleep. The only people who were remaining yet to sleep was Ruth and Naomi who immediately went to sleep right away. As soon as they arrived at their room, Naomi changed into her night gown and immediately went to sleep. 

Ruth also changed into her night gown but as soon as she entered the bed, she found it hard to sleep. She could remember the dream she had clearly and was scared not because she was going to be harmed but because  she felt she was going to fail Nelly and not going to fulfill the doctor's request of bringing his family back. 

Ruth slowly got up from her bed and went to look at the doctor. She really pitied the doctor after hearing his life story and the injustice that Mr. One had done to his family. 

She therefore went to Nelly's room and pitied Nelly after seeing what had happened to Nelly in the dream she had but as soon as Ruth entered Nelly's room, she felt too much cold. She immediately went to check if one of the room windows were open and was astonished to see that indeed it was. Ruth decided to close the window but in the process, she could see Martin and some of the closer gates warriors trying to open Magdalene's grave. Ruth immediately closed the window and ran out of the house to Magdalene's grave. She was astonished to find out that what she had seen was a reality. Ruth immediately pushed Martin and the warriors out of Magdalene's grave before they attempted any further. 

" What are you trying to do here Martin in the middle of the night?" Ruth asked Martin filled with lots of curiosity and at the same time filled with lots of anger. 

" I am trying to undig this grave and take Magdalene's body away from you. I want Nelly and I will do anything it takes to get Nelly to cure my grandma. Even if it will mean that I will have to steal Magdalene's body and test you to exchange get dead body with Faith" shouted Martin at Ruth. 

" What has always been the problem with all of you people? Why can't you let my grandma rest in peace? What harm did she ever do to you while she was alive? Was your family not the ones who did alot of harm to my grandma? It's pointless to tell you anything but you must listen to me. You are neither taking Nelly nor my grandma away from me. In order to do that, you will have to kill me first" said Ruth who stood at the door of the hut that she had made for her grandmother in her grave inorder to prevent her from being stolen by anyone. 

" Let's go closer gates legends. The night is too long. She will not be able to guard this grave for the whole night. She will definetly fall asleep. I am sure that she will" said Martin who signalled this closer gates warriors to leave accompanied by him.

Ruth decided that she was going to make it her priority to guard Magdalene's grave till she found the person who would be able to do it. According to her, night was too short and she was going to do her very best inorder not to protect her grandmother's grave.

Hours passed till it was already midnight, Martin and the closer gates warriors cans back and were astonished to find out that Ruth had not slept yet. She was still guarding her grandmother's grave. They went towards her filled with lots of anger. 

" I can see that the spirit of your grandmother is helping you to stay awake. Let us see how long it will last for you to still be awake. You will definetly get tired. I will come back at the wee hours of the night" said Martin. 

" Why would you tell me the immediate time that you will come? So that I can fall asleep. Now I see the fact that you are really out of your mind. You have totally lost it my dear. I am not sleeping tonight and only I know the main reason why. Not even your tricks will be able to make me stay away here. Don't even think of using sleeping pills or sedatives because they won't help you either. I cannot definetly sleep. I will stay alert and my nurses and doctor and Faith are alert too inside the house. Don't even think that you will get a chance of stealing Nelly from my grandma's house. You are the one who will end up being burnt to hell instead" said Ruth. 

Martin and the closer gates warriors immediately left Magdalene's grave. They were truly filled with lots of anger. Ruth waited for them to leave and decided to do a protection spell on Magdalene's grave so that she would protect her from any harm but it was difficult for her to do it since Magdalene was already dead yet she managed to do it. The only thing that she lost was her strength to stand up from the cold beside Magdalene's room and go over to her room to her sleep.

Anyway, her plan still succeeded. Martin and the closer gates came back and were unable to take Magdalene. They were unable to take Ruth away too since she had the protection spell on her. They were also afraid of stealing Nelly from the house due to Ruth warning. Martin's plan had failed that night but he promised himself that he was going to come back in the morning. 

Anyway , still morning reached. Lawrence had already began his journey to the closer gates. That was where he thought Ruth was even though he had heard rumours that Ruth was thrown away from the closer gates. 

Unluckily, as soon as he arrived at the closer gates, he found out that there were guards guarding outside the closer gates. He tried to speak to them to let him in but the guards refused to let him in. They instead told him to go away. 

Luckily, Akeshia who was watching from the closer gates gates decided to come out and find out what was happening there. 

" What is happening here?" Asked Akeshia as soon as he arrived. 

" I have come here to see Ruth. I suspect that Ruth Bora is holding my sister captive since my sister has already been missing for so many days. Where do you think that Ruth Bora must have taken my sister. I heard that she was thrown out of the closer gates. Now I have no idea of where I might find my sister. Our whole Mambo town and myself I am worried about her" said Lawrence who was almost about to cry. 

" Why don't you calm down first?" Asked Akeshia in a calm voice. 

" There is nothing to calm down for. I don't have to calm down. I just want my sister and if her corpse is already taken to the morgues. Why don't they tell me the morgue which she has been taken to so that I can go and take care of her there? After all, I know how to take care of my sister better than what anyone can ever do. After all, Nelly is my youngest sister" said Lawrence. 

" Why don't you come in for a cup of coffee then I will help you find your sister because I know the exact place where Ruth lives?" Said Akeshia who signalled Lawrence to drive in and to the closer gates guards to pave way for him. 

As soon as he drive in, Akeshia led the way and took him to the house where he immediately urged lady Ruby to prepare coffee for him. Evelyn was sleeping helpless on the couch which astonished Lawrence who widened his eyes in disbelief. Her whole body had already turned into black and she seemed as if she was going to die the next minute. 

" Who has done this to her?" Asked Lawrence a bit astonished. 

" It's Ruth and we were told that your sister is the only witch doctor who can help us out. I am really seeking for your help please. I can't wait to see my mama get back on her feet once again" said Akeshia who began to shed tears on her eyes as she looked at Lawrence to see his reactions. 

" Don't worry madam. You have been good to me and you have allowed me into your home. As soon as we find Nelly, I will make sure that Nelly heals your mother if she can. I have driven for such a long time. Do you actually mind if I take a shower here?" Asked Lawrence who was indeed tired and yet he needed to be sober for his continuing journey.

" No! I wouldn't mind" said Akeshia.
