CHAPTER 228

" Mama! I really hope that nothing has contributed to you changing your mind mama. I am really worried about you" said Purist. 

" Stop being worried about her. The government of any place is always fond of protecting it's people. I am scared about Nelly and really prays that she gets well soon. She came all the way to this town just to look for me to help her. I wish I had decided to help her and left with her to Mambo town on that day. Anyway, it has still happened no matter what I have done. I really feel bad for being such a failure" said Ruth a bit sad. 

Before anybody could say anything, a few nurses arrived at Nelly's ward ready to take her to the ambulance that the doctor had ordered for them. They all paved way for the nurses to do their work until they finished and  left. Ruth therefore ordered Purist and Naomi to follow Nelly closely as she was still afraid that something bad could happen to Nelly. 

Faith and Ruth therefore started parking all the things that Nelly was given by the hospital and asked not to leave at the ward once she got discharged.

As soon as both Ruth and Faith were, they quickly followed Purist and Naomi  who were already seated on the ambulance seat. 

As soon as they all settled, Ruth's doctor entered with two nurses accompanied by him and the ambulance left to Ruth's home which happened to be Magdalene's home. 

This was after Ruth had drawn the map of her grandmother's home and gave it to the doctor while they were still negotiating before the came into a conclusion.

It was a five minutes drive from the hospital to Magdalene's home. They arrived faster at home where Ruth highlighted the ambulance and went to open the gate of the house.

At that instant, she noticed that her main house door was opened. This meant that while she was fighting at the closer gates and still at the hospital, somebody cleverly sneaked into the house. Ruth decided to keep the information to herself until she was able to find out about the person who had done this to her main house. 

Luckily, the house had hidden CCTV that it was hard for anybody to have an idea about it. As soon as the gates were opened, the car ambulance entered the house and stopped right in front of the door of the main house. The hired doctor and nurses immediately got out of the car and arranged for Nelly to be taken into the mansion. It was very important for Nelly to be taken into the mansion before any unknown spy could see her. 

Nelly was quickly taken into the house and all the improvised equipments were made in her room. As soon as the ambulance people had finished with the work of arranging Nelly's room and taking her inside the house, the ambulance immediately left. This was after Ruth had ensured that there was nobody passing around staring at her house. 

Ruth had no idea that the people staring  at her house had been made invisible by Evelyn. An evil witch was capable of everything and to win against such an evil witch was the toughest thing ever. Ruth decided to arrange rooms for Purist and Faith. She decided that she was going to share a room with Faith whereas Naomi agreed to share a room with Purist. The nurses were ushered a guest room and the doctor had no choice than to sleep at the living room. Everybody seemed tired indeed. 

Nelly needed to have a room all by herself which was with very good ventilation. That is the main reason why it was hard to share a room with her.

 Ruth therefore urged everyone to go and rest yet she was still worried that everything was calm. Everyone went to rest including her after locking the main house door and the windows of the house using her witches powers. 

This was important for her to do since anything could happen anytime. Ruth therefore went to check if where she had hidden the ancestral vase was well protected or anybody might had taken it since she found the main house door open. As soon as she arrived at her hidden place, she found out that the ancestral vase was still there and we'll protected. 

She therefore went to her room and decided to shower. Ruth was still dull of anxiety and therefore felt that the only way to cure her anxiety was to have a warm shower. 

Evelyn on the other hand left to the closer gates. This was as soon as she had been defeated by Ruth at the doctor's office. She was badly injured. She needed someone to treat her, that is the main reason why she rushed to the closer gates and began to beg for Akeshia and Martin to heal her so that she could be strong once again as she was before. If she wasn't cured within secenty two hours, then she bound to die. 

Unfortunately, she found out that neither Akeshia not Martin were witch doctor's. Evelyn had already stabbed the witch doctor who could have healed her and now the witch doctor was in such a critical state. She wasn't even in a position to still speak to anyone. Yet she felt at peace being at Ruth's home rather than being at the hospital. 

As soon as Ruth finished to shower, she changed into her sleeping gown and went to sleep beside Faith. A few minutes later, Faith began snoring which completely disturbed Ruth who had not yet fallen deep asleep. This made Ruth to wake up Faith. 

" Girl! When did you begin snoring? The last time I shared with you the same room, you didn't use to snore but now you are snoring like nobody's business. I think the appearance of your grandma has really changed something in you" said Ruth smiling who could not stop teasing Faith. 

" So you haven't changed at all. You still feel good picking on me and making me feel as if I am a nobody. Why? Do you think that you are greater than me? Huh" said Faith but she noticed that as much as Ruth smiled, she still seemed sad about something. Faith knew that she needed sometime alone. She turned on the other side of the bed and began to sleep once again. Ruth did not take the tine given to think about anything, she immediately turned on the other side of the bed too and fell deep asleep. 

It was then that Ruth saw the vision of Evelyn being deeply hurt and seeking for her help. This made Ruth to be filled with lots of worries as she suddenly woke up. She had indeed hurt Evelyn and she knew that there was no witch doctor at the closer gates. 

It was indeed true. Witch doctor's were hard to find. Akeshia and Martin watched Evelyn as she cried in pain while she was sleeping on the couch at the living room. 

" Akeshia! Martin! If I don't get healed with sevemty hours then my wounds will never heal. All of my witches powers will become weak too. Please help me find a witch doctor very soon. I am in so much pain" said Evelyn as tears welled down her eyes. 

" I am going to help you mama. As for now, please tell me the name of the person who has done this to you. That person is definitely going to pay for this. I am not going to spare anyone" shouted Martin who began to break many furnitures on the living room as Akeshia tried her best to calm him down until he remained calm for the sake of Evelyn. 

" This is not good for your grandma Martin. The person who has done this knows very well that a witch doctor is hard to be found. This town must definetly want your grandma to be weak so that he or she can be able to accomplish a certain mission" said Akeshia in a pellucid voice as Martin stood beside his grandma and watched her in pain as tears welled down his eyes. 

" Grandma! Tell me the person who has done this to you. I am going to make that person pay with every bit of a thing that he or she has in her body. I will not let her rest in peace" said Martin in a commanding voice and in am angry tone. 

" The person who has done this to me is Ruth. Ruth has done this to me" said Evelyn in a hoarse voice as the pain grew more and more painful and unbearable as much as she wanted to taste swweet things. 

Lady Nana and Lady Ruby who were watching from the corner of the house were astonished. They found it hard to believe that Ruth could do such a thing to someone. They had never seen her hurt a person like this before. This formed a certain fear towards Ruth in their hearts. 

MARRIED AT SIXTEEN.
