“She is such a cute baby,” Francis pointed out. “Just like me,” Flora teased. They laughed softly and Felly announced, “Now that you are here, you will be their companions. 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. When the midwife noticed that they had gone, she returned to the ward. Now, the baby had soiled her diaper, and was restless. So, Flora picked her from the cot and began to attend to her.“She had soiled her diaper,” Flo
Now, Sharon picked interest in their discussions and looked on.“Hello, Felix. What's up?”“Is she ill? 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. Then, Felly informed, “She will give you a call now.”“Okay,” Felix accepted and cut the call at once. Then, Sharon adjusted the baby and dialed his number. Nevertheless, all eyes were on her. She watched the phone ring and waited for him to pick.“Hello, my baby. How are you?” He greeted.“I'm good, dear. You sounded worried.”“Yes, I am. How do you feel?”“I am good. There is nothing to worry about. Okay?”“I see. How is the baby?”“She is fine, and missing you.”“Tell her I miss her too. I will be with you tomorrow.”“Tomorrow? We can't wait.”“It is all right. I love you two.”“We love you too.”“Let me speak with Flora.”“It's okay. Aft
He asked and looked into her eyes. She smiled and nodded her head shyly.“I’m glad that I satisfied you, but I’m not satisfied,” he pointed out, and the sex starved Susan, who believed that it was their last, satisfied him and pleasured herself too.The Next Day – At the VillageThe two families were set to leave for the airport that morning, and Oliver was fifty thousand Naira, richer.“Take this for your help, Oliver,” Evans declared when he handed the cash to him.“Thank you, our in-law. I'm glad to know that you found me helpful. Safe trip.” Oliver appreciated“You're welcome. Uncle Emma and Frank would tell you the next thing to do.”“Okay Sir.” He walked up to George, Lilian, David, and Austin and gave them a parting hug.“I will miss you all,” he lamented. “We shall see you soon,” George pointed out, but Oliver did not take it to heart.At 7:30 AM, they left followed by the police van, leaving two police men behind. Now, the news about their departure was widely spread, especia
Now, Oliver was disadvantaged. He would not want the miscreants to harm the city children, who he presumed could not defend themselves. As for him, he was used to village life.“What is the meaning of this, Peter? How did I betray you?” The vigilant Oliver asked.“What is his offense,” the maid blurted.“Stay out of this,” Peter warned the maid, and said despicable things about Oliver, and tried to goad him into a fight.“Let's go,” Oliver signaled to the children.“Why? We are not through with our fruit hunting,” Joe pointed out, and continued eating the unwashed fruits. Now, Oliver was scared. Not of Peter, but of the safety of the youngsters in his care.Unknown to Oliver, Joe, and Regan had studied the three youths from their vantage point, and mapped out their attack strategies. “Do you want to work out on us?” Peter asked and inched closer to Oliver, and to their perturbation, the two city boys rushed at them, and gave them hand strikes on their necks and faces, and they momenta
Meanwhile, all the moments were captured by the voluntary photographers around. Afterward, she collected the sleeping baby and laid her back on the cot. Then he scanned her and remarked, “I can see that you are good.”“Yes dear.”Then, Felix looked at the dazed and confused doctor, and requested, “If there are no issues, doctor, I would not mind if you discharge them now.”“It is all right. In the next thirty minutes, you would leave.” Now, the midwife began to plan their departure at once.“It's okay. Thank you, doctor.”“You are welcome. Kindly come with me,” Dr. Micah said, and took a step.“It is all right.” The two walked out of the ward for the doctor's office. He ensured that he got the specimen that he needed for the deoxyribonucleic acid test.At the Village“This is profanity, and the transgressors must be called on the carpet,” Emma pointed out when Oliver and the youngsters ran back home and explained what happened.“Mr. Aaron, I am delighted that none of the children were
“Our in-law, calm down. We know how to deal with such cases better than the police,” the Chief Priest corrected. Then, he faced Emma, and said, "Mr. Aaron. We will leave now for treatment. Meanwhile, I will ask Ichoku to summon the elders.”“That is good enough,” Emma agreed, and watched the Chief Priest take a step, while the familiar sluggishly crawled after him.At Evans' HouseThey got off at the Abuja airport and Fredrick and his family continued with their trip to Lagos. Soon, he was at his house.“Welcome back,” the domestic staff members greeted.“Thank you.” After a few minutes, Evans' phone beeped with a message alert, and he read through the message from Frank informing him that he was returning with the youngsters. Thereafter, he showed worries, and his wife noticed it.“Any problems?” She inquired. He handed the phone over to her, and she read through the message.“I'm aware that Joe and his siblings must have missed their cousins,” she pointed out innocently.“You're r
When Cindy saw the excitement on his face. She got up at once and walked to the kitchen, and returned with a bottle of nuts, biscuits, and cookies. She dropped them on the center table and invited, “This is what we have for you, Sir.”“This is great. Thank you, Cindy and Camilla. Let's eat.”Now, Camilla watched him eat the chocolate, and she was delighted when he saw the joy on his face.“Do you like it, dad?” She asked with glee.“Certainly.”“All right. I will give you another pack before you leave. I will ask my mother to buy another one for me when I return to school.”“Thank you, Camilla. Where is your school, and when are you returning to school?”“My School is St. Mary's Girls High School, Kuje. We are returning tomorrow.”“Oh! No. I will miss you.”“You can come with us, daddy. My mom will bring you back.”“That would be great. I will give it a thought.”In one fell swoop, Tony discovered how callous Bruno was, and saw the reason Susan was desirous of love. He never related
Before Callum could say that the children had left for the city, Emma intercepted, and asked with great anger, “Which children do you wish to have? They have been rushed to the hospital. I will not take it lightly with the entire community if anything happens to them.” Nevertheless, Callum and Dickson shuddered at Emma's defense mechanism. Now, the elders were in a dilemma. Apart from the wrath of Emma, they feared the wrath of Callum and his community, which they were aware was stronger than theirs. Then, another elder pleaded, “Mr. Aaron, it had not come to that. Our in-law, kindly bear with us. We are not as bad as these delinquents had presented us. We have some in-laws who would not allow their children to visit their maternal homes, but you are not like that.”To avoid appearing weak or contradicting Uncle Emma's stand, he maintained an angry look, which threw the elders into a quagmire. Suddenly, he got a call from Evans, and ignored it. Then, he turned to Uncle Emma, and decl
