M.I N.E endless Love

Chapter 17: Open secret



“… the doctor assured me that he had wasted her already. That damn Jenny is going to get the shock of her life when she discovers that her mother is dead. We have tortured her enough. Now, we concluded what we have started, we finished her once and for all. I have also paid the doctor for cooperating with us all these while…” it was Sebrina’s voice.

Jenny was rooted to a point. What did she hear? Was her mother a victim of conspiracy? They were responsible for her mother’s death? They really paid the doctor to kill her mother?

She was going to think of what to do when she saw Betty walk out of the empty ward where she was with her mother. As soon as she saw Jenny, standing, her heart beat almost skipped.

Had she been eavesdropping on their conversation? Did she hear what she just discussed with her mother? No, she didn’t, she’s possibly just coming otherwise, Jenny’s temperament from what she witnessed yesterday would make her push the door open and walk in.

” Sister, you’ve been called right?” Betty said, walking over and coming to hold Jenny in an embrace. The acting was dramatic. She had always known she would Excel if she had chosen to be an actress.

Jenny’s tears fall down her cheeks. She didn’t have any evidence, she couldn’t say anything. She pushed Betty away and walked to the ward where her mother was kept.

When she opened the door, she was greeted by an empty bed. Her mother indeed was gone. She started sobbing profusely. She is gone indeed, died at the hands of haters. What had she done? Had they kept her in this bed and tortured her health wise?

Her mother was the purest hearted woman she had ever known. She had never thought ill of anyone. Why was she treated so unfairly in life?

Betty and Sebrina walked behind with smiles. That’s what they wanted, to see her weep and feel lost forever. She had become an orphan and that meant the cripple she married was incapable of loving her.

They walked into the ward and saw Jenny holding the bedspread where her mother laid, pulling it to herself. Betty snared, had the bedspread become her mother’s remains.

“Jenny dear, you have to take heart” was all Sebrina said. She didn’t come closer but stood watching her from a distance. Betty stood by her mother holding her designer bag and staring at Jenny with a bit of sympathy.

” Sister, stop crying” she flippantly said. Was she consoling Jenny or giving her orders? Well it appears it is the latter. She doesn’t care, she could cry to the ends of the Earth, it doesn’t bother her.

Jenny shook her head, Murderers. They killed her mother finally. She was supposed to see her mother’s remains right? Where is the morgue? She needed to see her mother already.

She cleaned her tears and turned to see her supposed closest family. She wore a faint smile and nodded at them. Betty smiled broadly as this confirmed that she never heard their conversation.

She looked at Jenny’s dress and saw it a little better than the previous day, she complimented ” your dress is beauti..” she hadn’t Completed it when Sebrina tucked her at the side.

This wasn’t the time for compliments. She understood and didn’t complete her words. Jenny saw the drama and simply walked out of the ward, leaving them both behind. This time, they knew she saw them.

” Why are you complimenting her dressing? She is going to feel that we do not sympathise with her. That we are happy her mother died” Sebrina cautioned her daughter.

” Of course mum , we are happy that her mother died. We were responsible for her death right?” Betty responded and shrugged. Isn’t that what they wanted, that Jenny’s mother should die?

Sebrina covered her mouth and looked in the direction that Jenny went “shhhhhh.. don’t put a show up for it. Pretend to know nothing about her mother’s death” she cautioned, how stupid can her daughter be at times.

“Ok, mum. I will start sobbing then” Betty said and started sniffling. She closed her eyes, trying to force tears out but no tears were coming. She gave up and looked at her mother staring angrily at her.

“Don’t say anything again. You are acting stupid and you are going to blow our secret out”Sebrina instructed. She told her daughter they need to find where the doctor kept the remains of Jenny’s mother.

Eric explained how everything went with the Madam’s mother. The woman was going to be disposed of or buried, whichever one the men were doing, they cannot tell.

But the woman was not dead but in a coma. She was injected with a deadly vaccine that if she is not supported by a life support machine, she would die in less than an hour.

They had to rush her to another hospital, in a private ward and immediately placed on a life support machine while the doctor was going to continue examining her and finding out more about the vaccine.

Eduardo nodded. He must save Jenny’s mother. From what he knew about her, her parents were involved in an accident and her father died. Her mother was in coma, and for two years now, she was still in coma, sustained by a life support machine.

He doesn’t want her to become an orphan. He must ensure he saved her mother and someday get them reunited with each other again. The joy of both women will know no end.

Eric just nodded. The only person who knew Eduardo wasn’t cripple was Eric. Eduardo is a great guy with a golden heart. He is handsome and rich but his riches attracted unknown enemies to him.

He wants to unmask those who are after his life and his brother. His sister was missing since birth and he has been searching for her.

But from afar, he looked hostile. That hostility was fake. Underneath it laid a kind-hearted person. He is great. He would pretend to be hostile to his new wife and yet wants to save her mother. What a contradiction.

“By lunch, I want to see that midwife again. I need to talk with her” Eduardo instructed. She definitely must have known something, even if it’s a clue that might help him to find his sister.

“Ok boss,” Eric replied. He wants to know who that young miss of the Anderson family is. She was separated from her parents and siblings from the moment she was born, it’s time she returned home again.

“… how do you mean you have sent it to be crenated? She was my mother and not some waste material that you dumb so carelessly. I want her corpse delivered to me, body and bones!

You can’t take laws into your hands and do that. I am her closest relative, are you supposed to do something so unprofessional? If you don’t deliver her to me, I will sue this entire hospital”Jenny threatened.

The doctor was speechless. If he leaves her to die in the hospital, the management will carry out an autopsy on the corpse. He ce he asked geb security to dispose of it however they want. He doesn’t expect that the quiet and timid Jenny would come to create a fuss.

Sebrina and Betty were there too. They knew that the doctor’s action was wrong. They paid him handsomely to silence her forever, not to do whatever he likes with the corpse. The corpse remains the property of the relative. They are to decide what happens.

” Ms Davis is aware of my decision right?” The doctor said and looked towards Sebrina and the latter frowned. How can he drag her into his foolishness?

Jenny turned and looked at her Aunt. She’s a she- devil. After conniving with the doctor to kill her mother, she still went ahead to dispose of her mother’s remains like that?

“Jenny dear, I know what it’s like to lose a parent. Your pains and loneliness was something that I can understand. I didn’t want you to bear that trauma for the rest of your life, seeing your mother’s lifeless body.

It’s enough that you will miss her greatly but not to see her without breath. You want to be able to bear it my dear, hence I request that she be crenated and rest in peace.

She was my sister in-law and a great woman. I can’t let you suffer more than you have experienced already. Please understand my motive behind my actions.. I mean… you.. no.. harm…” Sebrina’s voice choked. She started sobbing.

The doctor was relieved. He sighed audibly and cannot imagine how great an actress Ms Davis is. He never could have imagined that. She saved him already by her acting.

Jenny was speechless.

How can someone be so evil and yet pretend to be so pure? Can the two attributes be found in a single person? She doesn’t know what else to do, her aunt pretending and even sobbing, the highest height of hypocrisy.

“Haven’t you done enough aunt? Why did you allow it?” Jenny asked, her temper seemed to flare up again. She felt like strangulating her aunt and her arrogant daughter.

Sebrina cleaned her tears and glared at Jenny. Did she already know what she was doing? ” What do you mean Jenny?” She inquired.

“I mean haven’t you tried? You have spent so much, tolerated me and got me Married to a great guy. Why did you bother yourself about my feelings in addition to losing a great sister in-law?”Jenny pretended.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Just then her uncle walked in. He looked worried and came to hug Jenny. He heard what happened to her mother. He had already informed the doctor to let her live, come out of the coma. Why did she suddenly die?

“Uncle,” Jenny started sobbing all over again. The only one she can trust is her uncle. His wife and daughter are she- devils. She doesn’t know what her mother had done to her to deserve such a cruel fate from them.

“I am here for you Jenny” Patrick Davis said, consoling his niece and tapping her back gently. Jenny sobbed and eventually got better. He didn’t let her say anything but walked her out, into his car.

” Jenny, don’t sob anymore. I heard what happened to your mother. I wish it didn’t have to be like this. But what has happened cannot be reversed. I want you to decide to be happy henceforth. Your happiness is your responsibility…” Patrick went on sermonising her to be calm and chose to be happy for the rest of her life. Meanwhile he will be there for her.

“Uncle, can I ask you a question?” Jenny inquired and he said yes, she can ask him any question. “Is it right that my mother’s body be cremated without my consent?” She asked and her uncle frowned.

“No. That is totally wrong and unprofessional. Is that what happened?” He asked, feeling offended already. How can anyone dispose of his sister in-law’s remains without his consent?”

“That’s exactly what the doctor did, courtesy of your wife’s order. I don’t know why Aunt will allow the doctor to do that. She is making me think something is fishy” Jenny disclosed.

Patrick Davis was speechless.

Sebrina did that? How can she permit the doctor to do that? Or could it be… no he doesn’t want to think that his wife will still go ahead and do such a cruel thing after their mission is accomplished.

” I will ask Sebrina why she did that” Patrick consoled and asked that Jenny go back home and await further information. He would definitely get her to her mother’s graveside eventually.

Jenny left the hospital in tears. The only person who she can trust in this life besides her parents was her uncle. She knew he would reach back to her. She arrived home and started sobbing afresh.

What is hurting her the most she can’t tell. Is it her mother’s demise or the disposing of her remains so casually? Why should her mother experience such? She was a good woman. How can her aunt do this to her mother?

She would have told her uncle what she heard but it would hurt him terribly and make him do what might not be right. She doesn’t want to cause a tussle between the couple.

Meanwhile, Patrick got in and met his wife and daughter on their way out. He pulled his wife by the hand aside and asked “what do you know about her death?” He asked. He was furious. The poor woman had suffered enough, why end her life now?

” Well, you should thank me for putting an end to waste. She was staying too long in that bed so I asked the doctor to end her life…” was explaining flippantly when Patrick covered her mouth.

“Why Sebrina? Haven’t we done enough by causing the accident and kept her bedridden for years. I already told the doctor to stop injecting her with toxins. Let her come out of the coma. Why did you do this?” Patrick thundered, his eyes popping out in fury.

Sebrina shivered. Patrick’s looks meant he didn’t approve of her actions. He already spoke with the doctor to help her out of coma?

“Common Patrick, it isn’t a big deal after all… relax and console your niece..” Sebrina was sounding casual as if murdering an innocent person meant nothing.

“You think is nothing that you murdered someone? What had she done to you to deserve such cruel treatment? I won’t forgive you for this Sebrina. Jenny trusted me most in this world besides her parents. That girl Sees me like an angel…” Patrick was cautioning his wife when she interrupted him.

” Don’t play saint here Patrick! It was you who masterminded the accident and it was you who told the doctor to ensure that she mustn’t come out of coma. You were the frontier all along and now you called me a murderer?

You are the chief murderer and I am just an apprentice learning from you. She trusted you because she is blind to the kind of Uncle she’s got. You are a two- fold demon than I…” Sebrina was turning the table back to Patrick when Betty said “dad mum, don’t wash your undies before the public glare”
