As a matter of fact, for not having sufficient credit, Nelly had gone to the public pay phone in the company of her elder brother, Chuka, to make the call.  So, when he saw Nelly's behaviour as the call progressed, he became alarmed at her sudden reactions, wondering if Dom was alright.  When she suddenly dropped off the line with the clouds that descended over her eyes, shaking her head and looking so tired as if she was about to collapse, Chuka rushed towards her and held her by the hand, leading her to a nearby seat.'What's the matter?' he asked, still wondering what must have happened.'Let's get out of here first,' Nelly replied, trying to get up from the seat.'But you are trembling, Nelly.  What's all this?  You have to sit down for a while.  Pull yourself together and control yourself from within.  What is the matter?  I hope Dom is alright.'Nelly remained silent, staring into nothing and looking so pale and flus

Bringing Mr. and Mrs. Aku to accept any monetary reward concerning the adoption of their grand child was more difficult to handle than making them accept its adoption.  All the subtle arguments Dr. Zaki used during the discussion that followed whipped up the elements of suspicion rather than the required results.  Twice, the doctor subtly threatened to wash his hands off all the help he was trying to render to save the Aku family from some looming social problems concerning Nelly's future.  He reminded them again and again, the great trust and confidence they have had on him for more than the past thirteen years he had been their family doctor, even when he was yet working at the UNTH.  He said it was not fair if they would now begin to look at him with such uncertainty in their eyes, just because he was trying to make them understand the need for them to accept some money over the adoption.'The fact is that the couple we are dealing with have been my clien

The day Chief Lucas came visiting his wife in London was a day of joy for both couple.  His wife had hired a taxi to take her to London Gatwick airport where his flight was scheduled to stay him early that morning.  And when they met for the first time in about three months, it was like ages had separated them since he escorted his wife to his house in Central London.  So, as he came down from the aircraft looking out for his wife, she had already spotted him the moment he started alighting from the aircraft.  As a matter of fact, it was with difficulty that she did not break the protocol by detaching herself from where she was supposed to be waiting and dashing towards the aircraft.  When her husband came close enough, however, she did not know when suddenly she rushed out of her position and ran towards him.  He spotted her immediately and soon they both flew into each other's arms in a very deep hug that locked them in an eternal embrace.

No doubt, the lone car Nelly had seen at their entry into the hospital annex early that morning was a part of an arrangement to convey the baby to a very quiet part of the maternity section of Solace Hospital in Enugu.  From there, adequate care was taken by one and all concerned to make sure it was safe, strong and healthy while its travel documents were being prepared.  Above all, Dr. Zaki, in order to establish an early rapport between the child and Nunu, had the previous evening, after the birth of the baby, invited the later there that day to introduce her to the baby.  So, by the time he got back to Enugu around ten that morning, Nunu was already at the reception waiting for him.  Hence, within a very short time, they both were walking towards the private apartment where the baby was kept under the care of another trusted and experienced staff nurse.At their entry into the room, the nurse, Nnenna, was sitting beside a bed where the baby was fast

 Time picked up diverse events and gathered them into an endless roll of an eternal scroll.  Dr. Zaki was faithful in the scholarship he awarded Nelly.  And having really secured an admission at the UNN to study Economics three years before, Nelly had just graduated.  Her result was so good that she was offered an automatic employment by a powerful oil drilling firm based at Port Harcourt with a zonal administrative headquarter at Enugu.  After her youth service corps during which she was engaged in the same firm, she was now undergoing an initial in-service training at Port Harcourt and was going to work in their Enugu office after her three months programme which was gradually drawing to a close.For the past three years before her graduation, however, Nelly had had occasional psychological trauma which she had struggled in vain to overcome.  For the same length of time, she had tried to forgive herself over the fact that she had given aw
