CHAPTER 8




Ken got down from his car with the flowers he bought for Evelyn, he knew that he had hurt her with his words, she was hurting so bad from her series of miscarriages and yet he added to her pain, what kind of a husband was he? he entered the house having it in mind to apologise to her and even agree to go along with the adoption.





"Welcome Ken, your food is in the kitchen, all you have to do is to microwave it and eat" Evelyn sneered getting up from the sofa.




"wait Eve" Ken muttered hugging her from the back "Am sorry Eve for shouting at you, for saying those hurtful words to you, for reminding you of your predicament, please forgive me, I never meant to hurt you" He apologised.





"Where were you Ken? you left the house because we had a little quarrel, I cooked every night waiting for you to return but you never showed up" she replied turning around to hit his chest softly.





"Am sorry my love, I was at bayelsa state, the project going on there has not been completed, and you know that am the only person fit for that project, that was why your father sent me there" He replied brushing off her hair from her face.



"Unbelievable, you mean Dad sent you to another state even knowing that we had issues? and you didn't even decline, Ken you are impossible" she hit his chest the more.





"Am sorry baby, please forgive me and to show you how remorseful I am, I have agreed to adopt a baby, since that is the only thing that can make you happy" He smiled at her.




"Are you for real? we can adopt a baby? we will have a baby running around our house?" She asked to be sure that she heard him well.




"Yes Eve, but we will have to carry out a thorough investigation before adopting any child" He replied taking her back to the sofa,



"That is not a problem at all Ken, I will call the matron right away and tell her to expect us tomorrow, thank you so much Ken, I love you" She muttered softly.




"Evelyn, this the first time since we got married that you are ever telling me that you love me" he brought her face up.




"Believe me Ken, I love you, I know we have circumstances surrounding our marriage, but I have grown to love you" She softly said caressing his hands.




"I love you too Eve" He said as he claimed her mouth in a kiss.























"Maxwell how are you doing?" The old man asked his son.


"Dad am fine, what of mommy?" He Asked



"Your Mom is fine, she has gone to the mall, what of Angela and the kids?" He asked again.



"Dad they are fine, but you know Angela and her troubles, she was still complaining of my coming back earlier" he let out a sigh.



"I called her the other day and told her to give you time, if everything works out as we planned, and we get the money from Evelyn's father, Angela would still be the first to spend the money" The old man sneered.



"Dad leave Angela, let's talk about Eve, when are we getting the money? I need to get back to my life" He muttered.


"Soon son, the money will come to us soon, but before then follow my instructions" He grinned.

Well done ma'am

Maxwell, Maxwell, respect yourself

CHAPTER 9




Evelyn smiled all through as they journeyed to the lady of peace orphanage home, soon she would have a baby to call her mother, a baby that would run around her huge house, she looked at Ken and wondered what made him change his mind, whatever it was, she was happy about it.


Ken drove into the orphanage home, everywhere was calm and quiet, Evelyn wondered if everything was fine, just as she was about to step into the building, she met a nurse.




"Good morning Mrs Desmond" The nurse greeted her.



"Good morning Bola, what is wrong, why is everywhere calm and unusually quiet?" she asked.




"We are bereaved" she sniffed




"What happened?" Eve asked noticing the teary eyes.



"We lost the matron this morning" she sobbed.



"Jesus, no no, it can't be true, I spoke with her yesterday night, she promised to give me one of the babies to adopt, how can she die?" She shouted falling into Ken's hands for support.




"She didn't come out for morning prayers this morning, when we went to check on her, we saw her lying lifeless on her desk and she was also foaming from her mouth" The nurse explained further.



"What did I do to deserve all these? I can't have a child of my own and I can't also adopt, I said it, babies hate me" She sobbed the more as Ken consoled her.




"Is there no way we can still adopt a baby even when the matron is dead?" Ken asked.




"No sir, the matron has all the files of the babies and we can't do anything for now until she gets buried, I suggest you go to another orphanage home" The nurse concluded as she left them.




"Ken, what am I going to do? for a moment I was happy that I will soon have a baby, but see what has happened, I think am a witch and that is why babies are running from me, Ken am a witch" she sniffed.




"It's okay Eve, stop crying please, everything will be alright, maybe this is a sign from God that you should calm down and wait, he is about to bless us with a baby, stop worrying yourself and let it be" Ken said taking her to the car.




"Come on Ken, I even think God is angry with me, if not why hasn't he given me a child? why did he let the matron die knowing that she was the only hope I had?" she sniffed.




"God has a reason for everything he does, just give him time and he will perfect his plan in your life" Ken said as he drove out of the orphanage home.

"Welcome Amanda, what should I offer you?" Angela asked her friend.




"Just get me juice" She replied



"I will be right back" Angela said as she headed towards the fridge.





"What of the kids?"


"They are fine, they are not yet back from school"




"What of miracle? has she added at all? she looks like she has not been eating good food" She said as she sipped her juice.




"The same thing that my father in-law said, that is her stature, she even eats more than her siblings but she still doesn't want to add some flesh" She shook her head.



"What of Maxwell? hope you guys talk on phone?" She asked further.



"please leave Maxwell, let's talk about something else" she sneered.



"Why? what happened?" she asked.



"The same thing of course, he visits us once a month" she scoffed.




"you know what bestie, I think you should visit him over there in port Harcourt and see for yourself on what is really keeping him busy, just surprise him, don't worry about the kids, you can bring them to my house" she gestured with her hands.




"Yes, that's a good idea, why haven't I thought of it before?" she twisted her face as though she was lost in thought, if Maxwell doesn't come back within three weeks, she was going to pay him a surprise visit.

I think the person behind Eve's series of miscarriages is also behind the death of the matron.
