Must Read: A SECOND CHANCE - Season 1 - Episode 97

None of that made sense to Alice but she couldnt stop her tears from flowing. Was her lovely dad really responsible for all the deaths in their family? How come?

Was her mother right? Every night, she kept having dreams about her father crying and asking for forgiveness for all the pains he had caused the family.

Mr and mrs Chike had come two days after the funeral to pay their condolence visit. They apologised for not showing up at the funeral because they were both out of the country and they got the news late.

They also requested to see their grandson but Alice told them that he was with a relative.
‘if its possible, can we see him before we leave?’ mrs. Chike asked.

Alice relunctantly shrugged and called the relative who was in custody of Felix.
‘your grandson will be here anytime from now’ Alice said and sobbed.
‘okay. My dear, look you have to take heart. I was so surprised to see you this pale when we came to visit you. Its hard, i know, but you cant kill yourself, everyone has his own life to live. The dead has been buried and its time for the living to move on’ mrs. Chike said.

Alice only sobbed but said nothing. She kept thinking about how her dad was somehow related to Benjamin’s death. How will this nice woman feel if her father was responsible for the death of her only son?
‘my dear, where is your mother?’ Mrs. Chike asked.
‘she is inside her room’ Alice sobbed.

Mrs Chike smiled and went to Kofo’s room.

In less than an hour, Felix was brought home by Alice’s maternal cousin.
‘thanks alot for taking care of my son’ Alice thanked the lady.
‘you are welcome. At least, i’m glad that i was able to be of help to you guys’ the lady said.
‘you were of great help my dear, may God bless you’ mrs Chike thanked.

Alice’s cousin left after spending sometime with them. Mrs Chike and her husband also stood up to go. They had spent hours with the bereaved.
‘my dear, i would like Felix to come with us. At least spend sometime with us, till the holidays are over. I will be going to Dubai bext week and i want my grandson to come with me, if thats fine by you’ mrs Chike said.
‘oh, thats fine by me. Who am i to say no, when you are his grandmother’ Alice said.
‘who are you to say no? You are his mother of course. Dont you know mothers comes before grandmothers?’ Mrs Chike joked and they laughed.
‘okay, let me go inside and bring his things’ Alce said about to go in when Mrs Chike reached for her arm.
‘no need my dear, we would get as much clothes as we can for him, so dont worry yourself, you need to rest and you and Kofo must promise me that no one would shed tears again. You will go about your normal duties as if nothing happened’ Mrs Chike said while Kofo laughed.
‘dont worry my dear, i promise i wont shed a tear’ Kofo said.
‘i promise too’ Alice said and they laughed.
‘i’m so glad that we were still able to meet you guys in sound health. You guys need to be strong and Alice, i do not want what happened after Benjamin’s death to repeat itself, i wont take that this time around’ Mr Chike said.
‘i wont sir, i will be st….rong’ Alice said trying to hide her tears.
‘there you go again Alice, you promised that you wont cry but you are about to’ Mr Chike said.

Just then, they heard a loud knock on the door and Kofo went to open it. Then masked man rushed in, ordered everyone to lie down and they took Alice away with them.
