Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 535: Too many shocks in one night.
Rufus had heard of many extraordinary things, but this was more than what he expected to hear when he entered the office with Phoebe and her group today. The information, like his emotions were a roller coaster, up one moment and down the other.
He was sure that his body was trembling, and his legs were weightless, they were as weak as jelly, and he was glad that he was not standing anymore. His right hand reached for the glass that was half filled with water, but his quivering fingers could not grasp it, and he almost sent it flying. The panic in him flared but with it came odd relief at least now he was getting some real answers.
His eyes went to Phoebe's neck, peeking at the pendant which Zephyra had made visible. Indeed, it was the Saxon family heirloom. The situation confused him even more now because his wife was in possession of the pendant currently.
Did she have a fake one? Did this count as losing that family heirloom? It was the most important and most valuable possession of the Saxon's. As he thought about this, his breathing increased.
David rushed to his grandfather's side and put his arm around the old man. "Grandpa are you alright? Do we need a hospital or medicine?" He lifted the glass of water to the old man's lips, urging him to drink. "Pheebs get one of those calming and soothing tonics." He turned his head and politely requested.
Already one step ahead, Phoebe stretched her hand to David, handing him the tonic bottle. "Here it is." Her words slipped out, barely audible. Rufus's freak out was also making her freak out somehow.
Craning her neck to see what was going on, Rekha said a silent prayer. Everyone was aware that Rufus had been on his death bed. Many had been waiting for an invitation to his funeral before this year ended. Instead, they received news of his recovery, albeit he was old and still recovering. It would not take something big to send him back to his sick bed. "Maybe we should go back and return when he feels better. We have shared enough information today." She suggested.
She also wanted to take a moment alone to process the information she had just heard. Phoebe had died once upon a time so how was she standing there with them? What or who was Zephyra and how old was she? Like Rufus, she had many questions she wanted answers to.
"This might be surprising, but I think that I agree with Rekha." Maureen lazily pushed herself up. "In fact, it is late, and I would not like to be one of the people that causes the death of the great Rufus Saxon. Tomorrow, we can start from here with fresh minds." She picked up another strawberry to go.
Rufus' voice frayed into a growl. "I will not die too easily Maureen Mayfair, sit back down and don't treat me as a dead man walking. I get enough of that from Prue who treats me like a baby." He rumbled like an old engine starting, then he shifted his attention to the spirit. "Phoebe died? I hope that you can explain the fact that she is standing here and pregnant with my great grandchild."
He paused to catch his breath. "So, does this mean you reincarnated into yourself again or you came back from death, something like a rebirth? When did this happen?" He shifted his focus to Phoebe. He was not unfamiliar with the subject he had read books on reincarnation, rebirth, transmigration and all the possible impossible things that could happen.
But all he had done was read about these things theoretically, never had he met once person that had actually gone through it. Not only had Phoebe died and been reborn but it seemed like she had kept her memories about her past life intact.
He had met human shells whose bodies hosted souls that had been transferred in them using black magic. However, he had never met a human that had gone through a successful soul transfer, most of these human shells became something evil and uncontrollable because of the struggle between the two souls.
To answer his question Phoebe nodded. "I was reborn, not just me but David too." She revealed more on that story.
Rufus' mouth dropped to the floor; it opened widely but no words came out of it. He shut it after a few seconds and let out curse words. "You must have been killed, right? Who did it! Which son of a gun dared to lay a hand on a Saxon and....."
The spirit raised a silencing finger. "Not now Rufus, that story is a long one and you will surely hear about it just not today." One icy note in its voice was enough to let him know that the subject was closed.
Nodding his head because he got the message loud and clear, Rufus tilted his head to the side with curiosity taking over. "I only have one question though and I do not want to sleep tonight with it swirling in my mind. You said that Phoebe died with the Saxon pendant? How is that possible? It belongs to my family so how come it was in her possession?
Also, you said that Phoebe was reborn due to your awakening Zephyra, because of the pendant. How was David reborn? I don't suppose that there is another Saxon inheritance that I am not aware of." He held his head in his hands, not understanding a lot of things.
A chuckle left Maureen's lips. "Those are two questions uncle Rufus, yet you said that you had one question." She commented, earning herself a frown from him. Quickly Maureen raised her hands in surrender. "Not that I am complaining because I would also love to know how David was reborn.
I have been itching to know how they were reborn and now that we have the answer to Phoebe, it would not be so bad to know David's end of the story as well." She said, texting her mother to let her know that they were spending the night at the tower.
It was coming to nine o'clock and it did not seem as if this meeting was going to be ended anytime soon.
"For now, I will give you a short answer, in their past life you never recovered from your illness Rufus. You died and shit hit the roof or tower because you never trained a worthy successor while you were alive. Competition, selfishness and greed devoured the family internally while outside enemies used the opportunity to pick the family off one by one." The spirit began to narrate.

It did not wait for Rufus to digest the horror and just went on. "Before the situation came to that, David married Phoebe, and your wife was the one that gave her the Saxon pendant. This was before your wife died and thank the heavens, she gave the family inheritance to Phoebe because her rebirth changed a lot of things for this family. Starting with bringing you back from the brink of death." It shortened the story.
