A smile creeps on Chantel's face as soon as she exited the ward, getting the doctor to discharge Mrs Brown irrespective of her condition was easy. She sent a message to Mrs Hayford Ruth has agreed to the home treatment. Help me get the doctor to discharge her "Consider it done" Chantel read the reply and smiled Inside the ward, Ruth held Mrs Brown's hand in hers in tears."How did we get to this?" she thought looking at Mrs Brown"s swollen face. "Dad is gone. Mum's account mysteriously got emptied and another accident. Now Mum is blind and has also lost her speech. Will this ever end," she thought as more tears flow"She will be discharged tomorrow," came Chantel's voice snapping Ruth out of her thought. "He gave us the medication to get for her treatment at home," Chantel added as she stood at the foot of the bed "My job will be paying me two hundred dollars a month. Can we afford her medication?"

"O mine God, Emily, what happened to you?" came Mrs Brown's friend "Hmmm," Mrs Brown made a sound holding onto Ruth's shoulders to stand properly. Cassandra hurried and helped Ruth take Mrs Brown into the house. "Ah aa, hmmm," Mrs Brown attempted to speak again but no words will come out aside from unmeaningful sounds "What happened to y friend," Cassandra asked Ruth as she helped her take Mrs Brown into the house.

"Keep what you know to yourself, one word and Ruth pays the price," she said and opened the door to leave but came face to face with Ruth who was standing at the door."You are back," she said looking nervous as her heart skip multiple beats. "Yeah, why what happened? Is mum alright?" Ruth asked seeing how nervous Chantel lookedShe entered the room walking past Chantel who remained at the door looking at Ruth heading towards the bed"Sis, what happened?" she asked reading the fears in her mother's eyes. "Nothing, I went to use the bathroom, I think mistakenly kicking the bed on my way out may have frightened her," Chantel said "I am sure she was having a nightmare," she quickly added hoping it would be convincing enough. She was glad Ruth didn't hear anything she had told her mother. "Get some rest, Mum," she said and examined her swollen cheeks. The swell was going down. She covered her with the sheets and exited the room with Chantel"What time are you leaving for your job?"

The Twins with Different Parents Chapter 20: The past came to visit
Ruth dropped the tray and her hand flew to her mouth. Her eyes were fixated on the entrance as the familiar figure strode in accompanied by a sophisticatedly dressed extravagant woman, who had her hand wrapped around his arms. The jewellery adorning her neck and eyes was sparkling so bright it can illuminate a 20.25m2 room on its own. "Nick," she whispered as time stood still She had not seen him since he delivered his speech on graduation day. Whatever he did in the past months did have an awesome charming impart on him. He looked handsome more than ever. Ruth could not move or react for a long time. One of the staff pulled her out of the hall retrieving the tray which drew everyone's attention to her from the floor.
