THE ILLITERATE BABYSITTER - CHAPTER 35&36
[ DNA test ]
*NEXT DAY
*Mila’s Mansion*
The family sat in the living room to discuss about Diamond.
Diamond is on her knees, crying.
“You’re leaving the country”he said and she fold her palms.
“Please dad”she cried.
“You should have thought about that before failing”he said.
“Please dad, let her stay”Gold said.
“If you also wanted her to stay, you should have guided her. I can’t pay to pass this and being my daughter, she can’t sit for another year, so leaving would be better.
“Please dad, we’ve always planned on graduating together. Let her stay….”Gold begged but he has already made his decision.
“You’ll be leaving tomorrow, get ready”he stood up.
“I’ll go with her then”Gold said.
“You wanna leave with her?”he asked to be sure.
“Yes dad, you don’t wanna let her stay. Then send the both of us, I can’t stay away from my twin”she said and Diamond held her hand shaking her head negatively.
“No…”
“The both of us will leave not her alone”she said and dragged Diamond up.
“Fine, you both leave tomorrow”he said and Gold dragged Diamond away.
They got to her room and she let go of her.
“Gold….”
“Don’t talk, I’m trying not to tear up”she said.
“You meant what you said?”
“Yes I do! We’re twin but I’m sacrificing things for you! I and Finch just became close but I’ll have to leave him all for you so don’t ask any other question!!!”she shouted.
“I’m sorry”
“Go pack your things at least”she said and crying Diamond walked out slowly.
Gold sighed and picked her phone to call Finch but she could. She tried typing a message but she couldn’t.
“How would he feel”she muttered and dropped her phone.
She picked a sheet of paper and pen as she began writing on it.
**
Grace was the first person to wake up. She went straight to the kitchen to prepare breakfast but the ring of the door bell stopped her.
Opening the door, she was shocked to see Ma Angel who walked in.
“Where is he?”she asked as Grace shut the door.
“You mean her”Grace shuttered.
“Don’t play smart Grace, my son is in in here”she said and Grace began shivering.
“No Ma Angel…..”Xavier appearance made her stop talking.
“Good morning mom”Xavier said as he walked to the kitchen, coming out with a bottle of water which he began drinking.
“What are you doing here?”she walked to him in anger but he walked past her to the living room while she followed like a little child.
“I’m talking to you!”
“I didn’t take my drugs along so reduce your voice mom”he said and sat down.
“So you think you could just leave home”she moved to his front.
“I told you about it”he said.
“You lied, it wasn’t here you talked about coming”she said and he sighed.
“I wanna know why our love can’t work out, apart of our age difference and maybe status”he said and she sighed.
“You’re really pushing me”she said.
“You can just leave as you came then”he stood up.
“She’s your sister”she said and he turned back.
“Who?”
“June off course”
“You’re just trying to play a prank right?”he said.
“You’ve always asked why your mother was black. You didn’t even meet your parents cause both died after your birth”she said and he laughed sarcastically.
“Joking, how is she my sister?”
“They had her before you. I never agreed to your parents marriage since I’m the eldest between I and your father. But he didn’t listen, they got married and came to Nigeria. Just after five years, both came back since your mom couldn’t birth you here. She died after your birth and your dad who couldn’t bare it got into an accident and died”she said and he staggered back, not believing what she’s saying.
“I knew nothing about them here so I couldn’t find your sister even though I tried”she said.
“So all this you did for her was cause she’s my….”
“Why would I get a Nigerian to be your babysitter? Why would I treat her well and not as a maid? She’s your blood, I couldn’t bare it when you started having feelings so that’s why I’m doing all this!”she said.
“No no…. she can’t be my….I don’t have a sister!!”he shouted, already crying.
June and the rest were out already. She also couldn’t believe what she’s hearing.
Why would he be her brother? She never had a brother, her uncle didn’t mention her having any siblings when he told her about her parents. This is shocking.
“She is! She looks just like your mother!”she shouted but he shaked his head, staggering backward, he eventually turned only to see June who’s also in tears.
He tried walking forward but she moved back.
“It’s not true June, we’re aren’t siblings, you’re not my sister….”he shuttered but she shaking her head.
“No…. you can’t leave me cause of that…. let’s do a DNA….”he said walking forward but she ran upstairs before he could get to her.
He turned to Ma Angel in anger.
“Let’s do a DNA test to prove this!”he shouted.
“Fine, at least you did forget about the feelings you have for her and see her as your sister!”she said.
“She isn’t my sister!!”he screamed, and just as expected, he fainted.
“Xavier!!!!!!!”
**
June ran into her room. She sat on the bed devastated.
How the hell would he be her brother???
She picked up her phone. Dialing her uncle’s line which she already concluded on not calling till she’s ready. He picked on the second ring.
“Who be this?”he said immediately he picked up. She knows he obviously just had his bath with the way he answered.
“You call me and you no wan talk”he said again but seems she’s not ready to talk, she disconnected the call and sighed, letting the tears pour. Just when everything is getting better this has to happen.
It took her close to an hour of crying before she opened the door to see Grace who’s in tears.
“What happened?”she asked.
“He fainted….”she shuttered.
“Who…. don’t tell me it’s Xavier…..”she said and Grace nodded.
“Who’s he?”
“Hospital!”
“Take me there”she ran downstairs while Grace followed.
**
*AN HOSPITAL
Xavier is already being attended to.
“June!”Mimi said as she joined them.
“How’s he?”she asked.
“I can’t say”Mimi muttered and the doctor walked out.
“He needs blood”the doctor said.
“She’s his sister”Ma Angel pointed to June who nodded. To save him, she’ll surely accept she’s his sister.
“Yes I am”she said.
“Come with me”the doctor said and walked away while she followed.
“She needs a blood test”he said to a nurse who took June away. Minutes later, they came back.
“What happened doctor?”Ma Angel asked after seeing his expression.
“She’s…..”
