RUTH'S REDEMPTION
Chapter Four
A Few Hours Later
"Wake up, Ruth," Molly said, as she
stopped in front of a boarding house.
"What time is it?" Ruth asked,
rubbing her eyes.
"About 3:30."
"Are you sure that Rose is alive?"
"I am almost sure that she is
alive," Molly said, getting out of the car. "Come on."
Ruth got out of the car, and followed Molly
to the boarding house.
*****
After finding out that a Jack and Rose Dawson
were renting a room, they headed upstairs.
Molly knocked on their door.
"I am coming," a tired Jack said.
When he opened the door, he was surprised to see Ruth. "What are you doing
here?"
"I came to see Rose," Ruth replied.
"Rose is in the hospital right now, but
she should be out either tomorrow or the next day."
"Why is she in the hospital?"
"She fainted. There is something you
should know. Rose is pregnant."
"Rose is pregnant?" Ruth asked in
shock.
"Yes."
"How far along is she?"
"Six weeks."
"Ruth, let's get some rest. You can try
to speak to Rose tomorrow."
Ruth followed Molly out the door.

Jack did not know how to break the news to
Rose.
The Next Morning
Jack walked into Rose's room. He was
surprised to see that Ruth was already there.
"I see you two made up," Jack said,
handing her a grilled cheese sandwich.
"Yes," Rose said.
"I am glad, because I was afraid you
would be upset."
"I was at first, but I could tell that
she had changed."
"Rose, there is house with a small guest
house. What do you say we buy it with the diamond?"
Rose turned to her mother. "What do you
say? You can stay in the guest house."
"That is a great idea," Ruth
replied, thankful that her daughter had forgiven her.
The End.
