Chapter 42 Bring Me A knife “Oh!” she blushed and answered,” It was…” she didn’t know what word to use to describe it cause she didn’t want to encourage him to do such in another meeting. “Your father seems to abore hatred towards you, is he really your father or was the misunderstanding between you two that much?” “He is my father, that I’m sure of. But…he stopped regarding me as his daughter. He now loves his mistress and her daughter,” Amy said. Broderick looked away from her and didn’t say any more word. Amy looked at his side profile and wondered how weird a man like Broderick Alessandro can be. He just asked her a question and she explained only for him not to say any word. Does that mean he doesn’t have anything to say? Broderick remained quiet until the car pulled over at the garage of his mansion, once they stepped out and began to walk out,” how miserable is your life. You don’t have your husband’s love and all your family are against you.” “My life is not miserable. God blessed me with six kids. They are more than family.” Amy said. Broderick turned to her and saw the courageous look on her face,” it’s good that you are still hopeful. However, once my mum dies, I’ll divorce you and send you away. The kids are mine. You bore them for me. You can then go and jump on another gigolo and bear children again. Afterall, you seemed so fertile.” Amy smirked, she didn’t know whether to cry or laugh,” this is your plan, huh? Mr. Broderick?”. Any continued with pain in her heart,” I was pregnant of my six children for ten good months. Did you know how much torture I went through…carrying six kids at a time is sure not easy, you know that. I gave birth to them and as babies, I breastfed them all and also had to work. Where were you then, Mr. Broderick? And I have worked hard to raise them for six years and you want to take them away from me. How fair is that?” “I don’t know what is fair and what is unfair, I do whatever I think is right. I am… Broderick Alessandro.” He said and walked away from her. Amy got informed that dinner had been served on the table and so walked to the dinning table. She counted her children and realized that one was missing. “Where is … Moses?” She asked.
“It seems he’s not feeling fine, he said he wants to rest,” Elijah responded. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Amy’s mood changed immediately, “Let me check on him, you can keep eating.” “No, mum we will wait for you,” Queen said. “No, just start eating, I’ll join you soon,” she said and kissed Queen on the head then encouraged others to continue eating The children agreed and started eating while Amy began to walk over to the boy’s room. While climbing the stairs up, she met with Broderick who was climbing the stairs down. “Where to?” his deep voice sounded. “Moses is sick, I’m going to check up on him,” she paused and answered. Broderick turned immediately and walked very quickly towards the boy’s room. Amy had to quicken her steps so she can catch up with Broderick. Broderick opened the door and saw Moses laying on the bed, his head on the pillow. He walked towards him quickly and asked concernedly,” Moses, what’s wrong?” Amy also appeared during this period,” Moses, what happened?” “I just feel weak, I’ll be fine,” he placed his hand on his head and winced a little in pain. “Are you feeling headache?” Amy asked. “Yes, I’ve having headache too,” Moses answered. Broderick placed his large palm on his forehead and sighed, he placed a call immediately to Brett, his personal assistant, “send a doctor to my house.” Once Brett responded, he hung the call up. Amy went to sit beside Moses and examined his temperature, “sorry Moses, your dad has called the doctor.” Moses nodded slowly. Broderick held Moses’s palm and saw how warm it is, eventhough it was barely two minutes that he called Brett, he placed a call across again and once Brett answered, he said,” send another doctor here, the first one is wasting time.” “Okay, sir,” Brett answered and he brought the call to an end. A knock could be heard on the door a few seconds later, Broderick walked over quickly and opened the door, once the doctor appeared, he walked quickly towards the child and began to administer treatment. “Please can you excuse us, the child needs some space?” the doctor asked. “Space? Do your fucking job and better ensure he gets well or you will …” Broderick paused because of the child that was present there. He didn’t want the little one to see the angry side of him. The doctor began to fill his injection immediately and when he was about injecting him, Broderick spoke,” you didn’t even test him to know what is wrong, what sort of doctor are you?” Although Broderick studied Economics in the university, he still knew a little
about medical science cause his room mate room mate in the university was a medical student. “I’m a professional in this field, just a look at the child and I can already tell what is wrong,” he said but Broderick still had some doubt. As he injected the child, Broderick received a call and seeing that it was from Brett, he answered,” he’s here already, tell the other doctor to go back.” “Sir…” before Brett could say another word, he hung up. He wanted to focus on the doctor treating his son. His phone however rang again and seeing that it was Brett, he angrily picked up,” What?” “The first doctor’s car broke down on the way, he apologized that he won’t be able to make it in time as he’s currently looking for a taxi. The second doctor is still on his way, who could be there, sir? ” Brett asked. Broderick’s heart skipped and he grabbed the doctor that had just finished injecting his son in the collar,” who are you?” “A doctor, sir ..Is anything wrong, sir?” the doctor asked calmly, with a look of innocence. “What’s your name?” he asked and the doctor quickly yanked Broderick’s hand away and wanted to run off but Broderick sent a kick with his long leg to his neck that sent him sprawling on the floor. “Oh my gosh! he’s foaming!” Amy screamed when Moses immediately started foaming. “What! killed my son?” Broderick screamed in anger, Brett who was on the line heard what was happening and immediately called an ambulance. Amy had no idea that Brett already called an ambulance and immediately called the ambulance, Broderick ignored the man on the floor and immediately carried Moses,” Moses, Moses!” he screamed in pain as the little one kept foaming with his mouth closed. Amy had already started crying, her head was banging like it was being hit with a stone. Amy ran out to call the guards to come and help with the kids and they came in numbers to collect Moses from Broderick and take him to the ambulance. The children had stopped eating when they heard chaos from the room, they all saw as Moses was being carried away and they all began to cry, Amy ran to meet the remaining children and tried to encourage them that Moses will be fine but even her have no hope cause the fake doctor must have injected him with a poison. She couldn’t stop crying herself and the more the children saw her crying, the more they cried too. Broderick watched Amy cried with his five kids and his heart sunk heavily to his belly. Even if he has hundred kids, he can’t afford to loose one. Those little ones had been tied to his soul and loosing even one of them is the same as loosing his soul
He turned back with rage and walked inside the room but he couldn’t see the fake doctor anymore. He placed a call across to the head of his guards and told him to be at alert and that the fake doctor must be caught. He wanted to walk out but his instincts told him to check the bathroom so he walked over there and saw the man crawling on the floor with his hand on his neck. It seemed as if his neck had broken. Broderick grabbed him and brought him to the room, “you dared to kill my son?” he threw a heavy blow to his teeth making few of his teeth pour from his mouth, the man lost all strength as blood kept pouring from his mouth. Broderick sat on the couch in the room and asked with a murderous look,” who sent you?” Of course, as the most powerful man in North Hill, he has many enemies but why would anyone want to kill his son? Was it because he identified the little ones with him at an executive meeting? now his enemies want them dead. “You even have the gut to walk inside my house and my room? Whoever sent you didn’t tell you that your life is at stake. Either you confess or not, you will die. But confessing will determine if you will die a painful death or a quick death.” Broderick said. The man was scared. Who doesn’t know Broderick Alessandro? When he received the call to pretend to be a doctor and inject Broderick’s son with poison, he wanted to reject the offer cause of the type of man Broderick is. Entering his house is the same as entering a Lion’s den. But when he heard of a fifty thousand dollar reward, he accepted UN LAL “Please spare my family and I’ll tell you the truth,” he knelt and said, crying vigorously. “You are not in a position to negotiate, tell me the truth now or I won’t ask again,” he said. Out of fear, he answered, “Mrs… Mrs…” Broderick stood out of curiosity,” Mrs who?” It was even a woman who was trying to kill his son. A woman? all his enemies are mostly males. “Say it,” he shouted on him, the man realized that if he confesses, the person who sent him to do the job would still kill him and his family, either way, he would die. “Kill me,” he suddenly changed his voice and said. “I will but slowly,” Broderick tore his clothes off and called his guard to bring him a knife. “I will show you what your intestine , liver and lungs look like.”
