Chapter 101 How About A DNA Test The doctors and nurses suddenly became alerted as a result of Martha’s scream, when they entered and
saw Martha on the floor, they quickly carried her out of the ward to attend to her and immediately
informed
Broderick.
Broderick walked inside the ward that Amy was and asked,” what happened?”
“She crossed her boundaries and I taught her a lesson,” she said.
Broderick frowned, although he had a special and natural liking for Amy, he can’t be so comfortable
seeing her dealing with the mother of his kids.
“What did you do to her?” Broderick asked, thinking that Amy may have attacked her because she was
jealous of her. Afterall, when Martha was cuddling him, Amy had a displeased look on her face.
“I slapped her,” Amy said frankly.
“You slapped my wife?” Broderick asked with a displeased look on his face.
“Like I said, she crossed her boundaries,” Amy said and when she realized how cold Broderick’s face
was, she felt bad and walked out.
Broderick left the ward and went to the ward that Martha was, Martha was awake but had drip connected
to her.
“Martha. Was it Amy’s slap that made you faint?” Broderick asked.
Martha let a gentle tear slipped down her eyes and then she said,” tell the doctor to provide the CCTV
footage of what happened at the ward a few minutes ago for you. You can see and judge by yourself.”
Broderick immediately ordered a doctor to send him the footage, in a jiffy, the footage was sent to his
phone and he firstly saw how both Martha and Amy were exchanging conversations. Since the CCTV
footage can’t record audio, Broderick can only see their mouth moving, he could not hear anything else.
The next thing he saw was Amy moving away from where she was and closer to Martha then she began
to slap Martha hard in an aggressive manner and eventhough Martha seems to be screaming, Amy
didn’t stop slapping her until she fell.
“How wicked could this woman be?’ Broderick thought as he clenched his fist. For the fact that he didn’t
love Martha doesn’t mean that he would watch someone bully her.
Broderick tucked his phone in his pocket and said to her, “I’m so sorry, I’ll definitely rebuke her for this.”
“Rebuking her is all you would do? This woman almost killed me. What if I didn’t faint but died?” Martha
asked.
“Trust me when I say I’ll rebuke her. Not in a light way but I will rebuke her in such a way that she will
never make an attempt to lay hands on you again,” Broderick said and wanted to turn.
“Wait! You have to do it before me. Only then can I be sure that you rebuked her truly,” Martha said.
“But you are sick, you can’t even follow me to meet her,” Martha said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMartha removed what was connected to her arms and stood, though her face had been labelled with
marks
of slaps and her beauty had dropped, nonetheless, she felt like if she was not there when Broderick
would be rebuking her, he may eventually not rebuke her at all.
Broderick walked up to her and held her two hands, while looking into her face, she said,” you are the
mother of my children, did you really think that I will not defend you?”
“I just want to witness it,” she said.
Broderick nodded and turned,” let’s go.”
“I’m weak, please hold me,” Martha saidm.
Martha wanted everyone in the hospital to see Broderick holding him in a gentle manner so they can
believe that their is love in their marriage. Broderick obliged and held her hand then began to walk with
her outside.
When patients and workers of the hospital saw Martha and Broderick walking together, many blushed
and were glad to see the couple get along. A lot of people even envied their marriage while some took
pictures of
ome medias had been carrying rumours that there was no love in the marriage of. Broderick and Martha.
Amy had gone out of the hospital and had called Joan to come and pick her so she was waiting. She
was in a very bad mood.
“Amy!” Amy heard a majestic voice called her name and she turned and saw Broderick and Martha
holding hands.
What stunned her more was the hard face on Broderick’s look, she wasn’t surprised at the pathetic look
on Martha’s face. She already know to be a pretentious and ever cunny bitch.
“Amy, you dare to slap my wife,” Broderick said. He was displeased that she slapped Martha but he
wasn’t angry. It was a totally different feelings.
“I did. As a matter of fact, I slapped her repeatedly for calling my mother a bitch.” Amy said.
“Ha!” Martha exclaimed as if shocked, “Amy, is there no conscience left in you? What business do I have
with your mother? Why would I ever refer to your mother as a …oh my days! I can’t even pronounce
such curse word.”
“Keep you stinking mouth shut and stop pretending,” Amy rebuked Martha.
“Amy, I understand that we have grown close in just a few days but please know your boundary. Don’t
ever, I repeat, don’t ever lay your hands on my wife again.” Broderick said in defense of Martha.
Amy felt an heavy pain in her heart seeing Broderick speak in defense of Martha. It was already clear to
her that Broderick didn’t love her, he was just acting this way cause he thinks Martha was the mother of
the six kids nonetheless, it was impossible for her not to feel pained about this.
“Also warn her not to cross my paths,” Amy said fearlessly to Broderick and truned.
“Broderick, she didn’t feel remorseful at all. Will you really let her go this way? What’s the essense of
rebuking someone when the person didn’t even show any act of changing. How will our children feel
when they heard that you couldn’t do anything to the person who slapped their mother till she fainted?”
Martha said, trying so hard to provoke Broderick to anger.
“Amy!” Broderick called in an harder tone and Amy turned to him, she heard everything that Martha said
and all she just wish was to teach her some hard lessons.
“What did you want to do, Broderick? Slap me back?” Amy asked.
This woman has never been scared of him, Broderick thought, and it was really disturbing and surprising
at the same time
“Did you think I cant, don’t dare my anger,” Broderick said.
“Why don’t you slap me back for her then?” Amy dared him.
Broderick walked up to her and raised his hand as if he wanted to slap her but someone held his hand
from behind and pushed him.
That was unexpected, Broderick staggered to a side and eventually balanced himself, on setting his
gaze at the person, he saw Michael.
“You acted like an hero just because I slapped her but you are about to do the same thing, what’s the
difference between you and I then? I thought grandfather taught us never to lay hands on women no
matter what happen but the both of us have disobeyed. None of us deserve Amy, agreed?” Michael
asked.
Broderick clenched his fist hard, he hated Michael to the gut. He lost his memory, how could he
remember what any grandfather taught him when he was young?
“Amy, please give me the honour of driving you home?” Michael requested. Amy was already angry that
Broderick dared to make an attempt to slap her, in order to get back to him, she accepted Michael’s offer.
“Sure,” Amy smiled and Broderick watched as Michael opened the door of his car gentlemanly for Amy
while he went to sit at the driver’s seat and drove away.
“Bitch!” Martha cursed angrily. She really wished Broderick slapped Amy hard.
Broderick felt bad. Not like he wanted to slap her, he would never do that. He only wanted to scare her
and see if she would be scared but before he could let his real intention known, the bastard Michael
appeared.
“You should go back to the hospital to rest,” Broderick said.
“Please lead me back inside,” Martha pleaded.
Broderick wanted to bluntly refuse at first cause he just loathed this woman. Even him did not know why.
He was only forcing himself to stay with her in this marriage cause of their six kids.
“Sure,” Broderick surpressed all the emotions he was feeling and led her back to the ward. After she had
laid back on the bed, he excused himself and went to the children but he was surprised that they were
still sleeping.
Were they given a sleeping pill? Broderick thought as he starred at the kids who were laying on the bed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCause how can they be asleep for hours?
“Dad!” Debby suddenly called and he immediately walked towards her,” my baby, you are awake.” He
caressed her head gently and kissed her forehead lovingly.”do you feel any pain?”
When Debby saw the bandage in her hand, she asked, “No dad what happened to me?”
*You and your sisters had an accident,” Broderick said.
Debby furrowed her brow in shock and sat upright, she looked to the left and right and saw her sisters
laying quietly on the bed, ‘are they fine?” She asked about her sisters from Broderick.
“Yes, but they are asleep. We will just wait for them to wake up, Broderick said.
She heaved a sigh of relief and said, “dad, I had a dream.”
*A dream?” Broderick sat on the edge of her bed and requested, please tell me about it?”
“Did you remember that woman that came to our house a couple of weeks ago? The one we were
scared of? Debby asked.
“Yes, I do.* Broderick responded.
“I saw her in our dream, she was… It was like she was our mother. She was living with us in the same
house.” Debby said.
Broderick furrowed his brow in surprise,” oh! How did you know she’s your mother in the dream?”
“My brothers and my sisters and I were calling her ‘
mum.’ I saw us playing together with her,” Debby said, trying to recollect every details of her dream.
“Oh! Dream can be somehow, don’t worry about it, okay?”
Debby thought about her dream for a couple of seconds and said to Broderick,” but what if she’s our
mother truly? No one knows who our mother truly is since we lost our memories.”
“She can’t be your mother, trust me. Have you ever doubted Martha as your mother?”
Debby thought quietly and said, “she’s a nice woman.”
“A nice woman?” Broderick was stupefied at how Debby described Martha.
“Has Martha hurt you in any way?”
“Not that I can remember of but there is one question that she will never be able to answer,” Debby said.
“Tell me about it.”
“Mum can’t provide our pictures of when we were young. Is it possible for us not to take pictures when
we were little? Of course not. Every parents always take their children’s pictures when they are young
and as they grow. How come she doesn’t have any of our young pictures?”
Broderick thought about what Debby said and saw that it really made sense.
“Dad, you also lost your memory so you can not really be so sure of the truth. Don’t you see that none of
us has any resemblance whatsoever with mum?” Debby asked.
Debby and the girls and the boys had deliberated about this matter a number of times, they didn’t trust
Martha hundred percent that she was their mother no matter how much Martha tried to be good to them.
Now that Broderick thinks about what Debby said, none of the children had any similarities to Martha.
“How about a DNA test?” Debby asked.
