CHAPTER 222
“Thank you, Joan. You can leave now,” Broderick said and Joan walked away.
Broderick looked at Amy and felt bad for letting Michael take her away. He shouldn’t have even raised a hand to slap her. It was just that he didn’t like how she slapped Martha.
He sighed and wondered if Amy was having a fever. He then placed a call across to the doctor and ordered for him to come over to Amy’s apartment. The doctor arrived in no time and examined Amy’s health ,” she had developed fever, sir.” “Treat her then.”
“We can only do that after she has woken up from sleep,” the doctor said and wanted to place his hand on her forehead but Broderick said sternly, “don’t dare to touch her.” Content is property of .
The doctor had used his medical tools to examine Amy prior, he hasn’t touched her. The doctor only wanted to touch her forehead to further confirm but he quickly withdrew his hand at Broderick’s command.
“When I need your attention, I’ll call you,” Broderick said and the doctor quickly left with his tools.
“I’m sorry, Amy,” Broderick said and went to kiss her forehead,” I want to be the only one to touch you from now henceforth.”
Broderick sighed, he felt at peace being beside Amy. The feeling was so incredible. He shut his eyes and began to think of Debby’s dream. Amy indeed looked innocent. Why would she lie? Could she really be the mother of the kids? While he was in deep thought, a hand landed gently on his and when he looked at it, he saw Amy placing her hand on his but she was doing it unconsciously.
Amy immediately began to mumble some incoherent words, Broderick faced her squarely, he knew she was having a night mare.
Amy smiled and called,” Debby, Queen, Angel…my little girls, come over here.”
Broderick wondered what those names were, he had never heard anyone with those names before.
“Elijah…have this…Elisha, this is for you.” She chuckled and added,” Moses, take this.” What sort of names is she calling? It was impossible for Broderick to make sense of it nonetheless, he opened the notepad of his phone and began to write the names down. It may not make sense now but maybe it will make sense in the future. She continued munbling some incoherent words, she suddenly shouted, “give me my kids…give me back my kids …give me…” She opened her eyes and grabbed Broderick as if he was the one taking her kids away.

She had sweats formed on her forehead and there was panic on her face. The alluring and familiar scent of Broderick filled her consciousness and she fluttered her eyes opened, seeing Broderick, she expressed a dissapointed look and wondered what he was doing here.
Since there was light in the room, she looked around and confirmed that this was her room. The last thing she remembered was that she was in the club, drinking so hard. How did she get here? Broderick wanted to clean the sweat on her face with his handkerchief but she jerked back angrily, with a deep frown in her face, she asked, “what are you doing here?” “Amy! I’m so sorry for daring to attempt to slap you. I’ll never do that again, I’m so sorry,” Broderick apologized sincerely. “It’s easier to apologize.” Amy laughed painfully,” you wanted to slap me for your wife? If not for Michael that held you, I would have probably being nurturing the pain that your hand would have caused on my cheek.” “I’m deeply sorry,” he apologized. “Why are you here?” “Joan informed me you got drunk and got taken home by Callan.” Broderick said. “Did you go to the club with him or you met him at the club?” Broderick wanted to know if she had restarted her relationship with her ex husband. “Callan? I didn’t go to the club with Callan neither did I met him there. Infact, I was having a drink with Michael,” Amy said. Broderick felt
releived when he heard her first sentence but after hearing that she was having a drink with Michael, a feeling of jealousy constricted his heart and he asked,” why are you having a drink with Michael?” “Because… I don’t even know. I’m sad and I just want to have fun.” “What if he takes advantage of you when you get drunk?” Broderick asked. “I’m too dejected to think about that. I just want to get rid of my sorrow,” Amy said, sighed heavily and looked away. “Did Michael touch you?” Amy couldn’t remember Michael touching her so she shook her head in response,” why are you bothered about whether he touched me? Weren’t you cuddling your wife at the ward? What’s the big deal if another man touches me?”
Broderick was dumbfounded. Truth, he can not have a wife that he cuddles and still have the right to stop other men from cuddling her.
Broderick wondered how Amy was drinking with Michael yet got taken home by Callan. Did these two people took advantage of Amy and probably when Michael was done with her, he passed her to Callan. “Are you sure these two people didn’t take advantage of you cause how can you be drinking with Michael yet got taken home by Callan?” Broderick asked.
