“Certainly,” the midwife assured, and served her with tea.

“Apart from tea, what else would you like to eat?” The midwife asked.

“Any food would suffice,” she responded and sipped her tea.

“It is all right.”

She looked at the baby's cot and saw the birth details, and was glad. She took her tea gradually, and soon, the midwife arrived with her breakfast.

“Thank you, midwife, for the meal.”

“You are welcome. After your meal, you will breastfeed her while you prepare for your birth.” The midwife, who was informed by her colleagues that she was reluctant to breastfeed the baby, advised, and studied her countenance. Sharon simply smiled and had her breakfast, and thereafter, she requested, “I am ready to have my birth.”

Now, the baby was crying, an indication that she was starving. She picked her up and requested, “Kindly help me with the infant formula.”

    “I support that,” Susan agreed and attempted to get back into the bus. To avoid the General Manager disapproving their request, the team disagreed with her.“No, you are his secretary. He may need you to write the report.”Just as they expected, he smiled and took a step to walk away, Susan got the message and disembarked at once. Then, she announced, “I give up. I would rather not be the Jonah in your boat.”They laughed loudly and one of them teased, “The Jonah has stepped off, boss.

    “You said my mind.” The elders said in unison.“I got it.” Emma pointed out. “Thank you for the compliment.”It was obvious that the testimony of the burial of Beck would remain in the memory of the people for a long time. Now, there were over fifty elders in his compound, while the youths were innumerable. They actually came to sincerely cheer him up, but his nieces had a different opinion. They saw them as guests and treated them as such. Soon, the caterer served them with a special fruit juice, which was strange to them. It was a mixture of watermelon, carrot, and pineapple. They relished it and commended. Before they were through with the juice, they were served with cabeza, which was spiced with native ingredients. Nevertheless, the merriment was unending.“Oliver,” Ada called out.“Yes, aunty,” he answered and walked to her.“I learned that you shared the souvenirs in the field.”“Yes Aunty.”“Good, do we have leftovers?”“Yes. There are many of them, and we had offloaded them.”

This time, Oliver had a seat at the table. Now, Uncle Emma began to wash his hands and he recalled that those hands had a handshake with the governor and other dignitaries, and teased. “Thank you, my in-laws, for the opportunity to have a handshake with the number one citizen of the state. I wish I won't have to wash my hands anymore.”They laughed happily and Oliver relished the joke.“Big Uncle, I saw you on the television,” Regan pointed out.“Me?” The bewildered Emma asked anxiously.“Yes, when you shook hands with the dignitaries,”“Even when you were walking in and displaying your new walking stick up and down.”At that point, Emma could not restrain himself from laughing because he was certain that he truly displayed his new cane out of proportion.“When was the event aired? I would have loved to watch it. I

He walked her to the dining table and they took their seats.“Thank you, dear,” Susan appreciated. He opened the dishes, and they began to eat. “Do you like it?” Tony asked after she took the first spoon.“Yes. The hotel cooks very well.”“You are correct. You must be a good cook. Am I right.” Tony remarked, and looked into her eyes. She smiled and asked, “Why do you think so?”“My instinct tells me.”“Your instinct is correct. Permit me to ask, what is your favorite food.”“My favorite food is Susan,” he responded quickly and watched her laughing happily.“So, what will be my favorite food?”“Me.” He pointed out and laughed softly.“Let me eat you as much as I can before we depart.”She got up from her seat and gave him an affectionate kiss.

I will return with her dinner when I'm done.”“It is okay, big sister,” Francis agreed.“I got it, big sister. When will they be discharged?” Flora asked.“I wouldn't know until her husband returns. See you later.”“It is okay.”Felly and her husband walked out of the ward, but Terry, whose job was obvious, steadied his eyes on the baby.“Terry, you can join your parents. I will help you to protect the baby until you come back.”Howbeit, the excited Terry got down from the bed when he was convinced that the baby was safe.“Thank you, for your help, Aunty Flora,” he greeted and followed his parents.

Why is she sleeping too much?”Felly took another look at Sharon, and studied her outlook before she replied, “She is up, and she is breastfeeding the baby.”“I can give him a call,” Sharon volunteered when she perceived that he was distressed.

    At the General Manager's HouseAfter Moses' was settled, and Tony satiated with accomplishment, he had the problem of informing his wife of his encounter with Moses. He recalled their first night, and how she cried when he mentioned Bruno. Breaking such news to her would get her worked up, and remind her that she lived with an animal for several years. However, he had no choice but to make their meeting known to her.“What if she finds out on her own?” He reasoned, and braced up. That night, after they had their dinner, and ensured that the twins were settled in their room with Susan's mother, he broached the topic.“What!” Susan exclaimed, after listening to his narration.“It's unfortunate,” he added, and monitored her countenance. To his expectation, she was sad, but he could not decipher her reason for that. After a few seconds of awkward silence, she asked, “What is the boy doing currently?” Although, he was uncertain about her reasons for asking, but her tone expressed genuine co

    The Next DayAfter the meeting of the previous day, Silas contacted Cyprian and Moses, and they were very excited to hear from the organization. Meanwhile, they promised to be available for a meeting at an agreed time. Nevertheless, they were nervous because they were unsure of what to expect. To their chagrin, when they arrived, Silas led them to the tenth floor, but to another office that had a strong security system. Instantly, Mr. Huntington gave Silas an inquiry look when he saw the Group Managing Director inscription on the lintel of the office. Likewise, Silas was expressionless, which was difficult for him to discern.“After you,” he announced after he opened the door, and held it for them to walk in.“Thank you, for this, Mr. Jack,” he appreciated, and they walked in. Soon, they were in an office that could be mistaken for the office of the President of a Nation. Apart from Tony, they saw two unfamiliar faces. All the same, they were encouraged by the welcoming smile on their

    At the HotelAfter they collected, the drugs, they gave Silas their contacts, and returned to the hotel fulfilled. To the Hotel Manager's expectations, Moses was elated. Although, he could not meet his biological father, who he would have loved to kill, but he was happy that he met someone who succored him.“Ensure that you don't disappoint the doctor by taking your drugs as he prescribed. Did you get me?” Cyprian advised.“I got you, Sir,” he responded happily. When the manager noticed that, he teased, “Do you still wished to see your father?”He fixed his eyes on him, and waited for his response. Meanwhile, Moses furrowed his brow in annoyance, and answered, “I have seen my father.” Cyprian smiled happily and confirmed, “I love that. Let's wait for the results of the test by the doctor.”“Okay, boss. Permit me to ask, what was the reason for the test? Do I look sick?”Nevertheless, the question took Cyprian unawares, but he concealed it, “I think you are. Especially when he discover

    Presently, Moses was eager to see his supposed father and unleash his fury on him. He watched the adults discuss, but smiled inwardly when he heard Silas mistook him for the Hotel Manager's son, and waited for feedback.“In the office?” Tony asked. He could not remember anyone with such a name or inviting someone to the office. Nevertheless, as a family man, who just hosted many relations during the Thanksgiving, he reasoned that the man and his son could be members of his extended family or Susan's, who needed assistance.“Come with them,” Tony responded, and Silas agreed. He turned and looked at the excited guests, and ordered, “Submit your phones and come with me.”“Noted Sir,” the guests complied while Silas turned to his order, who had joined them after parking the car, and instructed, “Get the shuttle bus.”“Okay, boss,” he responded, and walked briskly out of the office. In a short while, the team was in the General Manager's office. Likewise, Cyprian appreciated the respect th

    “I hope this mail would get to him,” he murmured. To ensure that Moses was stable, he sent for him, and informed him of the progress that he had made so far. The understanding that someone was interested in his matter, cheered him up, and he was grateful, “I appreciate your efforts, sir.”“Don't mention. Let's wait for three working days, as the automatic message said. If we don't hear from him, we will have no choice, but to pay him a visit.”“It is all right, Sir. Thank you for your concern.”“You are welcome.”Afterward, Moses left, and returned to his work.Three Days Later.Now, the Manager was more anxious than Moses. Curiously, he wished to get to the bottom of the publication, which could be misleading if Tony had a child somewhere previously while the publication said that he just welcomed his first babies. Nevertheless, he got a response, and was glad at the progress, “At least, they responded,” he mumbled. Meanwhile, he was able to get the email address of the General Manag

    “Wait. I need to get his approval,” the security guard informed. Now, Susan's colleagues were more in number. They were aware of her pregnancy, but never attributed it to the General Manager. Likewise, it was difficult for the GMD and his wife to get out of the reception, but Silas was able to make a way for them. Not only that, Cyril was also trapped in the crowd. He could not even get close to the security guards and explain himself.At the Hotel.Since the day Bruno left the company almost two years ago, he had suffered much humiliation. Despite the ejection from his house by Felix, and Ella subjecting him to queue up like her clients, before he could sleep with her, running into a transformed Cyril as a taxi driver, was the worst humiliation he had received so far. Nevertheless, after he discharged his passenger, he got the day's paper and returned to the hotel. He did not have the zeal to continue to work, so he took a break, to brood over the epiphany he had that day.“How can t

    Cyril got to the General Manager's house in high spirit, and walked in. To his dismay, the main house was locked, and the three male domestic staff members were unaware of the good news. After the greetings, he inquired, “Has the boss left for work?”“No. He left the house last night with his family,” one of them explained.“I see,” he replied, and walked back to his car, and did not bother to discuss the delivery with them.“What must have happened to Mr. Angus? Is he a taxi driver? I doubt, but he looks tattered and emaciated,” he mulled over his encounter with his former as he drove to the Industrial Area.At the ClinicAfter Tony sent the message to the Group General Manager, he sent messages to his parents, and relations, before he settled down, and chatted happily with the doctor. Meanwhile, the doctor had sent a message to his wife, and she could not contain her joy. Suddenly, the doctor's door opened, and his wife walked in. Likewise, she lit up the office with her compliment

    At the Delivery RoomHowbeit, Susan was lying on the delivery bed, and was smiling happily. She could imagine how her husband, who had given up on being a father, would feel. “Hubby, it's a set of twins, boys,” Susan announced as soon as her husband walked in. Nevertheless, the excited Tony could not hold back at that point. He allowed the tears of joy that had gathered in his eyes to drop freely. Likewise, he walked to his wife and kissed her temple. Then, he appreciated, “Thank you for making me a father.” Likewise, Susan squeezed his hand, and responded, “Congratulations to us, my hero.”Subsequently, he walked to the babies' cots, and admired the cute babies, “Welcome my precious babies. I love you so much,” he assured, and held their tiny hands with his two hands at once. Presently, he was livelier, and had dried his tears. Then, he joyously took some shots of the babies with his phone.“Let's allow her to take a rest,” the doctor advised. Tony took another look at his wife, who

    Likewise, Alice was excited, and summarized her task. She walked to the new house, and saw the work.“Wow!” She exclaimed, and ran back to the house. Uncle Emma was surprised to see her running back, and he inquired, “Why are you running back? Is the task too much for you?”“I wish to put on a pair of trousers,” she explained and ran into the house. She walked out shortly, after she had dressed in her jean trousers, and a pair of canvas. Then, Uncle Emma smiled with satisfaction when he realized that she was still humble and had not been influenced by the life on the campus.At the New BuildingWhile the work was going on, the youths, who were outside the gate, were disappointed. Although, Shane and Collins were not certain, but they believed that the person in charge was Oliver, but they could not defend it because everyone believed that he was dead. Now, Shane cast his mind on that night that they worked as security guards at the compound, and was ashamed of himself.“What is diffic
