Although, all his family members were entitled to medical care, but the General Manager revoked that privilege. As the Medical Director, he could take the initiative to treat the patients there and wait for the reaction of Mr. Angus, but he chose not to create more problems for Mr. Owens.Meanwhile, Dr. Dixon had a private hospital and when he got a distressed call from Evans, he went along with an ambulance and that eased the trouble of transporting the victims. Then, Mr. Beck and Sarah were taken to the Intensive Care Unit of the Promise Land Clinic. On entering the hospital, the atmosphere changed. The staff on duty were all shocked to behold the face of Beck, but the only person who was composed was his assistant, whom he went to the house with. Then, some workers thought that Beck was dead because his face was beyond recognition. The flesh had shrank and the blisters were broken on their own, and his breathing was shallow. After their admission, Evans, who had accompanied them t

Now, George's and Lilian's response with wide smiles on their faces, brought a great relief to Frank The youngsters were aware that with him around, there would not be any dull moment for them. On Sarah and her husband's return, they had to announce the doctor's suggestions. Therefore, while they were at the dining table, Sarah quickly reported.“The doctor suggested that papa should be flown to India for a surgery as soon as possible.”“Ind…what? Do you mean the India that is in his village?”Ada asked sarcastically, “Ind… Village. Yes, the India that is in his village. If he must be flown to India, he should provide the money, period.”Uju suggested with finality.“In my opinion, if the money is there, we should give it a try. I am not convinced that sending him abroad will be too much on all of us. In my opinion, we should not be responsible for his death. No matter what, he is your father. We can't fold our hands and do nothing.”Now, Mama's words made them to view the matter f

Nevertheless, Sarah was resting at home with her family the next day, and Mrs. Eze was the last person she had hoped to see. Sarah had never visited her house, and she had carefully avoided anything that would bring her to her house either. When she returned from the hospital the previous day, her staff members had visited and encouraged her. They saw her sisters and commented on their semblance, and they were careful not to ask too many questions about her father and she liked it so, but to her surprise, Mrs. Eze was not in the team because she would like to visit her personally.Now, the much dreaded staff member showed up, and she was lost of what to do. “She did not ask me to have the problem that would bring her to my house.”Sarah mumbled. Having kept her away on many occasions with the excuse that she would not be at home. That day, she was aware that Sarah was ill and must be at home. Furthermore, She was aware that her father was at the hospital on admission and above all, t

“Mrs. Owens, can you prepare the food alone? I can assist you do that if you don't mind. I don’t really have much to do at home.”Although, Mrs. Owens did not object verbally to her offer, but the unsatisfactory look on her face spoke volume. Then, she ignored it and continued with her quest to spend more time with her.“You know you are not yet strong enough to carry out stressful tasks.” The beloved, nice and caring staff member, volunteered. While Sarah thought of how to respond to her offer, her husband yelled. “Sarah.”“Yes, dear. Kindly give me a moment.” Sarah answered. Then, she looked into Mrs. Eze's eyes to dismiss her, but she came up with another excuse.“Oh! Mr. Owens, you didn't even offer me anything. This is very much unlike you.”Now, Sarah's countenance changed, and she quickly declared.“Have a nice day, Mrs. Eze.”Without waiting for her response, she walked briskly into the house and banged the door. 'You can remain there if it pleases you.'She mumbled. Then,

'A toad does not run in the daytime for nothing, it is either something is chasing it or it is chasing something. I have not committed any crime and cannot remember owing anyone. Ten of the Chief Priests can come to my house, I’m not perturbed.'Emma concluded before he responded to the greeting.“I greet you, Chief Priest. What do I owe this visit?” He requested angrily.“Mr. Aaron, I greet you, and I also bring you greetings from the gods of our land.”Said Chief Priest after he walked into his hut. He was holding his ofor – a symbol of power and authority, which was calved from a wood. He wore a red cap with numerous eagle feathers, which indicated his present and past achievements.Meanwhile, Mr. Aaron was seating in his hut when the Chief Priest walked in. His sitting position in the hut was conspicuous, and no one dared to sit on it, whether in his presence or absence. Now, the Chief Priest dragged the small wooden chair in the hut and sat close to him. Then, Emma responded.“Y

“You see! You all are my witnesses, it's not just me who knew about the land. So, how can we allow that small community to snatch away such massive land from us?" The leader of the group who had his selfish interest in engaging in the battle said. He raised a war song, which others chorused and matched to the land of Umuezune.“Nzogbu”“Enyimba, Enyi”“Nzogbu”“Enyimba, Enyi”With this pro-war song, he led the five hundred and fifty-two trained warriors of Umuaku into Umuezune land. Now, the youths of Umuezune were not prepared. Even if they were, they were not as strong as their opponents, neither were they equal to them in number.To their dismay, the smaller community defeated them, despite their weapons and their trained warriors. They died in their hundreds. Since then, the community respected Ikenga and its Chief Priest. That was the clear meaning of the Ibo proverbs that says:'A cow without tail; its god chases away flies on its behalf.'Now, the mighty had fallen because the

Then, Emma repeated the Chief Priest’s story to her, without adding or subtracting any information from what he told him.“What is the meaning of this problem? Why will this man be creating problems for himself and the people around him?”Now, Emma, who was fuming with anger, kept mute. Although, his wife was not happy either, but she had to be strong at least.“I think it is appropriate to inform his children.”His wife advised. However, Emma, who had not thought of that, heaved a sigh of relief. Even though informing his children may not yield any results, but at least he had acted.“I think you are right, Obidiya. I have not thought of that, but I will contact the children as soon as possible. It is said that the anger of a brother does not get to the bone. In any case, he is still my brother.”Emma claimed before he asked his wife after he had calmed down.“How was it at the farm today?” “It was fine. I did the little I can and started coming back home after I noticed that you w

Now, Evans bent his head over, not sure of how he felt. Was Beck's death really painful to him, or was he worried because it all took place in his house? Could he have avoided it by acting that faithful day and send him away. Sending him away would have given him a bad reputation because he hurt his father-in-law, but it would have saved the situation? It would have saved him a lot of trouble, too. Besides, what would he gain if he had a good reputation before him?After a while, Sarah walked back to the sitting room and sat beside her husband, who was lost in thought.“Your food is ready. Have your meal first, we will worry about the dead later.”She hinted and interrupted his thoughts. Nobody seemed to be mourning except him or rather regretting. Now, Mama had been calm since the doctor pronounced her erstwhile husband dead. She wished it did not happen through her, as the incident had reminded her of how her life had been a life of hardship. However, Evans was still sitting t
