He hurriedly picked his car keys, lifted his wife off the bed, and placed her on his left shoulder. In a jiffy, Tony was out of the room, and was in the garage. Meanwhile, when the door of his room opened, Ruth, who was the only female domestic staff, and had her room in the main house, got out of her room at once. When she saw Tony carrying his wife, she ran out of the house too, and headed to the gatehouse. She barged in and the janitor and guard woke up instantly.“What is the matter, Ruth?” The guard asked anxiously. “Get up, madam is ill,” she announced, as though she did it out of concern for the madam, and the security guard got up at once.“Thank you for this, Ruth,” he appreciated, and headed to the key rack for the gate keys, to his dismay, they were not there.“Where are the keys?” He cried out, and faced the janitor, who was still sitting on the bed.Nevertheless, Tony had succeeded in sitting his wife in the passenger's seat before he got into the car. He drove to the g
“We will look into that,” the doctor took it upon himself.“It is okay. I prefer that she rests here for now instead of disturbing her sleep,” Tony pleaded.“It is all right.”“Who is the doctor on duty?”“He in his office. You don't need to worry. I won't leave until you pick her,” Dr. Dixon volunteered. Tony was touched by such a show of love, and he stretched his hands apart for a hug.“I will always remember this,” he promised, and released him. Thereafter, he left with Cletus.At the General Manager's HouseAfter Cletus gave his subordinate a call and instructed him to go to the General Manager's house, he left at once to the house with his motorbike. He was surprised when he saw the guard and the janitor working on the destroyed gate, and he suspected that there could be a shady deal.“Stop,” he yelled, and the unsuspecting domestic workers, stopped suddenly, and looked at the officer. Just like Cletus instructed, the officer instructed, too, “Don't move an inch.”The petrified
Meanwhile, the subordinate presumed that he needed a car to convey them to the security office, which was about one thousand, two hundred meters away from the house, before the arrival of the police. Therefore, he excused himself, “Pick whatever you need to pick at once because you are not coming back here. I will be back.”He hurriedly drove off, but the period was enough for the unjustly dismissed workers to take vengeance for their loss.“I can't believe that you can do this, Ruth,” the janitor pointed out, and glared at the chef.“Why can't the boss marry me? Am I not pretty enough? What does madam have that I don't have? She deserved what she got,” Ruth, who was frustrated, and was aware that her time was up, boasted.“Oh! You were truly out to kill madam and the unborn baby? What is her offense?” The guard inquired. Then, the janitor resolved, “I have lost my job, no doubt, but I must avenge any harm that you have done to her.”Now, Ruth ignored their displeasure, and walked tow
At the ClinicIt was already 6 AM, and Tony decided to release Cletus. Meanwhile, Susan was on her second supply, and Tony excused himself.“Excuse me, I want to discharge the security officer.”“It's okay,” Susan responded, and faced her food. Tony returned after a few minutes, and was surprised that the plates and cups were empty.“You have to stop my baby, or else you would puke,” Tony warned“You are right. I'm full already.”“It's okay. You can rest,” he advised, and turned on the television. Then, he made her to lie on his lap, and watched the television.“Don't be sick, my dear,” he wished, and stroked her back.“Thank you. How long am I staying here.”“The doctor will advise us.”“I got your point. In that case, I can ask Ruth to prepare the breakfast. Cyril can bring her.”At that point, Tony was disgusted with the name, and it made him retch.“Never mind,” he responded bluntly.“You would need your breakfast very soon,” the concerned wife elucidated.“The hospital would see
"Tell us, Tony, what really happened?” The doctor asked. Tony gave an account of what happened, and how he saw the chef in his bedroom through his device.“You must have been living with an enemy,” Evans declared. Then, he looked into Tony's eyes, and continued. “She hid the key to stop you from taking her to the hospital.”“That was her plan,” Tony responded.“Then, she would have bled to death if you didn't arrive at the hospital on time,” Sarah added. Now, the doctor, who was aware of the severity of the situation, took a deep breath, faced Tony and inquired, “Was there any bicker between the two?”“None, that I am aware of. My wife was not aware of any, too. She just requested that I should ask her to prepare breakfast,” Tony made clear.“Breakfast indeed. You took the right decision to send all of them away. I came with breakfast for her,” Sarah, who took umbrage at the chef's wicked act, emphasized ecstatically. Then, she got up at once to get the breakfast from the car.“Are yo
“Is anything the matter?” Susan asked when he pulled up. Tony smiled broadly, and said, “That is a surprise for you.” Now, he had unfastened his seat belt, was looking at his wife. Then she requested, “What is the surprise?”“The GMD and his wife visited while you were sleeping.”“What!” Susan exclaimed, and her eyes sparkled with joy. “Why did you keep it away from me?” “I planned to make it known to you when we will return the food warmer.”“Oh my God! Don't tell me that they are responsible for the breakfast,” she requested with excitement.“They are. I was thrilled with such a show of love, too,” Tony explained. Now, Susan had unfastened her seat belt, and set to get out of the car, then he called her attention, “I think you should be aware of this.”Now, Susan gave him an inquisitive look, and asked, “Be aware of what, please.” “I sacked all our domestic staff.” She furrowed her forehead, and asked, “Why?” Presently, Tony observed that she was excited, and drew her closer, and
At the Native HomeIt had been eight months since Oliver left the village, and had acquired enough skill to run the Daughters of Sarah Skill Acquisition Center and Shelter Home. The construction of the center had been completed, and the only work left was the furnishing. Evans had ordered for the furniture, and Oliver needed to be on ground to supervise it. Two days before the delivery of the goods, Oliver and Richard left for the village. Nevertheless, Uncle Emma and his family, including Mama, were happy to see him.“You are welcome, my son,” they welcomed him one after the other.“Thank you, Uncle Emma. Thank you, Mama,” he responded with glee.“How are your aunt, and her family?”“Everyone is fine, uncle. They sent their regards.”“I see. I am happy with the changes in you.”Oliver smiled shyly, and appreciated, “Thank you, Uncle.”Thereafter, Uncle Emma, who was still agile, despite his age, accompanied him to the building, and they climbed to the third floor, while Obidiya, and
“Thank you. I had planned to check on you later. Now that you are here, I am relieved.”He offered them a seat, and they sat uncomfortably with one butt, and Richard noticed it. They greeted him, too, and he welcomed them joyously. To their astonishment, Oliver had grown taller and chubby. His formerly suntanned skin due to long exposure to the sun, and lack of proper feeding, was now light brown. Above all, he exhibited the gait of royalty. He took his seat opposite them and inquired again, “How did you know that I was around?”After narrating how they found their ways into the compound, and how Uncle Emma encouraged them to see the money bag, they laughed happily.“So, Mr. Aaron was pulling out legs?” Boniface pointed out.“You are right. He is such a funny man,” Gerry concurred. They laughed some more, and Oliver explained with a sense of complete control of the compound why he turned the tap on. “I see. We had to turn on the water because the borehole was underutilized, and could
