The Doctor had me tested but my blood type
did not match with hers, he advised me to go get a close relative as they don’t
have the type of Mirabel’s blood in their blood bank. The first thing I did was
to call Mirabel’s oldest sibling Adesuwa who also resides there in America but
in another state in Oklahoma. She promised to take the next available flight to
Nevada where we reside. I also called Mirabel’s father – the president and informed
him about the situation at hand, I told him about Adesuwa’s coming, but he
insisted on coming as soon as possible in case if Adesuwa’s blood won’t be
enough.
I also called my Parents to inform them,
they were terrified especially my mother. I called Vincent and told him about
it, that he should start praying seriously for Mirabel.
I was so worried; I didn’t know what else
to do… I moved from one place to another looking for a donor but couldn’t find
any. I was left with no other choice but to wait for Adesuwa. I dunno if Ike’s
blood will match with hers, and he is not even in America, he is currently in
China doing his thing.
Adesuwa finally came about two hours later
and a test was conducted on her to be sure if her blood will match with
Mirabel’s. Unfortunately, it didn’t match. We were so surprise on why their
blood type did not match. We had to wait for a couple of hours till the
President arrived with the first lady and Vincent.
The President told the Doctor to start
taking his blood immediately, but the Doctor insisted that they get his blood
tested first before that can happen. The President had no choice but to allow
them to run the test on him. After waiting impatiently for many minutes, the
Doctor came back and said their blood did not match.
President: What are you talking about?
She’s my daughter!
Doctor: Are you sure about that?
President: Yes she’s my youngest child
Doctor: I’m afraid she can’t be your
daughter because she doesn’t have your blood
President: You must be mistaken
Doctor: Sorry sir, there’s no room for such
mistake here. We can conduct a DNA test if you want
First lady: DNA test for what, Doctor?
She’s our daughter, I gave birth to her!
Doctor: Just to be sure, she’s dying and we
don’t have all the time
Vincent: Please Doctor have me tested too,
my blood might match with hers
First lady: And mine too…
Doctor: Ok follow me
They followed the Doctor to the lab and
left me wondering what’s going on, how can Mirabel’s blood not match with her
father’s? What is happening? Where did she even get that kind of blood from?
God have mercy, that devil is a liar!
The President, the first lady and Vincent
came back to the lobby from the lab. The President quietly sat down looking
tense while the First lady kept saying that she knows Mirabel is her daughter
and she’s very sure about it, that she carried her in her womb for nine months
bla bla bla…
The Doctor came back again saying the first
lady and Vincent’s blood still did not match with Mirabel and the DNA results
will be available in two days. The Doctor also advised us to go look for donors
whose blood might match with Mirabel’s, and that he’ll also help us checking in
blood banks elsewhere.
The President left the hospital in
confusion and the first lady followed him asking him some kind of questions.
Adesuwa and Vincent remained with me there in the hospital. I went to the ward
where they kept Mirabel; I stood outside and watched Mirabel through the
window. I didn’t know when tears started dripping down from my eyes. Vincent
came to me and placed his hand on shoulder telling me everything will be
alright; that I should not be scared of what the Doctor is saying and all.
Me: Look at her, does she deserve this?
Vincent: Don’t think that way, just look at
the positive side that this will be a testimony, have that in mind
Me: I don’t understand why her blood
doesn’t match your Dad’s
Vincent: I’m also surprised; this is the
devil at work
Me: What are we going to do now?
Vincent: Just pray and have faith in God
Me: **Silence**
Vincent: Where is Vanessa?
Me: She must be with the nanny; I didn’t
even see when I came back from my trip
Vincent: But how did this happen?
Me: I just stepped into the house and saw
her falling down from the stairs; I dunno what might have happened to her
Vincent: Or could it be… it was because she
heard your presence then she was like rushing to meet you?
Me: I just don’t know, ah my God!
Vincent: Just take it easy, everything will
be fine
Me: Hhmmm…
Vincent: Come on, let’s go
Me: Go where?
Vincent: To your house so you’ll freshen up
at least
Me: I’m not going anywhere
Vincent: You have to, I mean look at you;
you look stressed
Me: What about Mirabel that’s fighting for
her life? No, I’m not leaving her
Vincent: You have to be strong for her and
Vanessa
Me: Don’t waste your time trying to
convince me because I’m not leaving here
Vincent: You need to go check on Vanessa
Me: She’s fine
Vincent: She should be here with you
Me: You can go and bring her here, I’m not
leaving Mirabel not even for a second
Vincent: I dunno your house, and besides,
I’m not familiar with this place
Me: You can ask Adesuwa to take you there;
she needs to rest too…
Vincent: Alright then, I’ll be back
Me: **Silence**
Immediately they left, the Doctor came to
me and told me he has found a blood match for Mirabel and that it’s on the way
coming… I appreciated him for his effort. Not long after that, The President
also came in with some donors, about six of them. They had them tested and
three of them have the same blood type with Mirabel but two of them had some
sickness in them, so we have one donor plus the other one the Doctor ordered
for from a blood bank. I just had this excitement and hope within me when we
found this rare type of blood for Mirabel. By then, Vanessa was already with
me.
Frank (Mirabel’s former bodyguard) called
me; he said he heard what happened. We talked for a little while before we
ended the call. Lest I forget, Jummy retired from the service immediately
Mirabel and I got married so she’ll be a full house-wife and start having children
for her husband – Frank. And as for Frank, he continued the service as the
first lady’s bodyguard.
They started the transfusion without
wasting time and the delivery of the baby through CS (Caesarean section)
We waited impatiently for almost two hours praying that she and the baby will fine until the Doctor came out with a sad look on his face. We immediately rushed him and started bombarding him with questions…
We waited impatiently for almost two hours praying that she and the baby will fine until the Doctor came out with a sad look on his face. We immediately rushed him and started bombarding him with questions…
How did it go? How is she?
How’s the operation?
Is the blood enough?
The Doctor stunned us with a shocking news
that we lost both of them in the process after telling us some medical bla bla
bla that I can’t even remember.
I was short of words, I was extremely
shocked! It happened just like a dream, I was lost on earth. The feeling was
out of this world.
We arrived in Nigeria the following day
with Mirabel’s body using the Presidential jet. By then, the bad news has
gotten to the media.
Her body was deposited to the mortuary for
days before she was laid to rest. That moment I felt like my life has come to
an end. I just dunno what to do and what to feel.
The DNA result reached the President and
it’s discovered that Mirabel is not his biological daughter, because her result
was negative while Vincent’s and Adesuwa’s were positive. How? Nobody knows as
the first lady kept defending herself that she never cheated on the President,
but she carried a pregnancy for nine months and delivered a baby.
An idea came in, so they went back to the
hospital where they delivered their baby and started an investigation on what
might have happened. They checked the hospital’s record of babies born on that
specific date, and then they started investigating around looking for those who
were born on that particular date from that hospital…. searching for the real
President’s daughter.
This also means I’m not a true President’s
in law and my daughter with Mirabel is not the President’s grandchild. What
kind of misfortune is this? Chai!
