..”What??!!” Onochie exclaimed.
”No.. No.. No.. Tell me it’s not true” Onochie
said rubbing his hands on his head in shock.
Even Charles wasn’t comfortable with the news,
his eyes gulped out.
”Wait up, when, how, why?,” Charles asked at
the same time but nobody replied. The house
hold of Emetamma were also shocked at what
Emetamma said as they knew it was a lie but
they wisely played along with him by
pretending to put on a sober face
”How did it happen?” Onochie asked as tears
flowed down his eyes
”My Prince, to be honest with you it is really a
shocking news that I can’t explain” Emetamma
began
”what do you mean by that?” Charles asked
”Immediately the Igwe judged her with
banishment, she came in and took her things.
Then.. Then…” Emetamma pretended crying
”Then what?!!” Onochie barked at them
impatiently
”This morning we heard a news that she
jumped into the river” Emetamma said
cleaning his tears filled eyes
”No.. This isn’t true.. No..No.. Ada!!!” Onochie
exclaimed and fainted. Charles rushed and held
him immediately
”Onochie.. Onochie…” He called shaking him
vigorously. Everybody stood up in fright
”Don’t just stand there!! Help me out!!!”
Charles yelled at them and Obinna rushed to
help…

SAINT PETER’S GENERAL HOSPITAL
Nurses were seen running around, patients and
waiters filled the reception seats. It was the
best government hospital in Umudike.
Charles
drove roughly into the hospital in the company
of Obinna. He almost hit the gateman. His
brake hold screeched the tires of the car and
made a lot of noise. Before the tire could stop
rolling, he opened the door and jumped out
running towards the door shouting for the
nurses. Obinna came out and stood by the car..
Soonest, nurses came out with a stretcher.
They placed Onochie on it and rushed him into
the theatre. They gave him so much special
attention knowing he was the Prince.. Charles
followed them with the stretcher, but at a
certain point, Doctor Mark ran in and stopped
him.
”You can’t follow him into the theatre, please
wait here, we will do all we can” Doctor Mark
said
”Please, don’t let anything happen to him”
Charles cried
”He will be fine” Doctor Mark promised and
Obinna ran out to the Car..
”Thanks a lot” Charles said to Obinna and gave
him some money
”Use that for your transport home” Charles
said and Obinna collected the money and left.
As he left, Charles looked at his moves and
countenance constantly. Later, he dialed Lolo’s
number..
”Yes, Mom” Charles said placing the phone on
his ears
”He just fainted Mom” He said again
”Saint Peter’s hospital Mom.. Yes, please come
along” Charles said, hung up the call and ran
back in to the hospital reception room waslking
to anf fro…

IGWE EBUBEDIKE’S PALACE
”No… This can’t be true!!” Lolo exclaimed
”Your Highness!!” She shouted untop of her
voice running up the stair case. The guards and
maidens in the throne room were surprised at
her action
”Her Majesty, are you alright?” Nnenna asked
and Lolo looked at her
”Prepare the car immediately” She ordered as
a reply to her caring question. Lolo ran up and
saw Igwe in his room
”Igwe, your highness” Lolo called kneeling
down and the Igwe was a bit surprised why she
knelt down
”Please, your son lies unconscious in Saint
Peter’s hospital” Lolo said and Igwe bounced up
immediately
”What happened to him?” He asked
”Igwe, I don’t know” Lolo said
”Let’s go there immediately” Igwe said, picked
up his staff of honour and they ran out
immediately. On coming down the stairs, Igwe
looked around
”Where is Dike??” He asked with a harsh voice
”Outside your higness” Nnenna said and they
moved out without saying any word. Dike was
already at the door of the car waiting with arms
folded
”Don’t stand there folding your arms!!! Move
this car!!!” Igwe yelled in order and Dike
entered the car immediately. He ignited the
engine. Igwe and Lolo entered immediately
and Dike reversed the phone. Musa, the
GateMan wasted time in opening the gate and
Lolo brought out her head
”Will you open that gate you idiot!!” She barked
”Kai Madam, I dey Kwom Madam” Musa said
holding his radio by his ears running to the
gate. He opened it and Dike drove out.
”Kaiwai!! This thing wey madam dey vex like
this, kai it is vewy imfortant” Musa said looking
at the speed of the car..
Minutes later, they got to the hospital, Igwe
and Lolo opened the door by themselves and
Lolo ran into the hospital? Igwe walked as fast
as he can. On seeing them, people bowed and
greeted but they didn’t reply any. Charles sited
them and ran to them immediately.
”What happened” Igwe asked Charles but then
the doctor came out
”Thank God the doctor is here” Charles said
”Doctor, how is my Son?” Igwe asked as the
doctor came closer
”Oh, your highness, he is doing fine but needs
some rest” Doctor Mark said and relaxed their
minds..
