Episode 14
“hey what’s going on?” i asked
fearfully, holding Comfort with
great care.
“i don’t just know. I suddenly feel
sick and awful” she answered
weakly, throwing up once again.
“oh dear lord save me” i prayed,
clueless on what next to do as i
watched over her.
“don’t be scared. It isn’t the first
time this is happening to me. I
will be fine. Tomorrow you will
help take me to a hospital. Just
hold my hand tightly” she begged.
I had no choice than to sit with
her all through the rest of the
night. I just couldn’t believe all
that was happening were real. I
just couldn’t wait to wake up from
the terrible nightmare.
——–
Early the next day we headed to a
hospital Comfort begged me to
take her to. A private clinic
located at the center of the town.
In no time a very young doctor
examined her, ran some tests and
invited me to his office.
“your wife immune system is very
weak. The blood in her body is
equally very low. She told me
herself that she’s been taking
some medications before moving
in to live with you. I have written
out a new set of drugs for her. I
will also instruct her on how to
take them. However the most
important thing is her life first
before the baby and she really
needs lots of care, good food and
constant medical check up. She
also has to register for Ante-natal
here. I would have advised you
leave her behind in my clinic but
the bill will be very high because
she still has some months to go
before putting to bed. So take her
home, make sure you get
someone to assist her with house
chores, if possible invite her
mother and also remember to
bring her here at least three times
every month for check up” he said
to me.
“she isn’t my wife. Doctor no” i
stammered without thinking
straight. The doctor gave me a
very curious look.
“what?, then who is she to you?”
he asked. I instantly regained my
senses.
“never mind doctor. She will be
well looked after” i said
halfheartedly, got up, left his
office and went outside to call my
mother, almost crying as i
narrated everything to the old
lady.
The painful part of it all was that i
was being left with no choice than
to take care of the obnoxious girl
without the knowledge of my
wife, which really was a big
disaster waiting to happen.
“that’s terrible news son, but are
you sure the girl and the doctor
aren’t trying to play smart on
you?” my mother asked, putting
the idea into my head but i
quickly shook it off.
“i doubt it mum. I saw her vomit
with my own eyes and i don’t
think she’s faking it” i answered.
“fine take her home. I will be in
the city early tomorrow. I’m
coming to stay with you and see
things for myself” she promised,
leaving a strong joy in my heart.

I finally paid the hospital bills and
took the sick girl home. As i drove
into the compound that late
afternoon, i spotted my mother-in-
law’s car parked in front of the
house which left me shocked and
surprised. I quickly stopped my
car and made to reverse and drive
away but unfortunately the old
woman emerged from the house
that very moment with my wife’s
bag on her hand. She froze with
shock on sighting Comfort and I.
