The Beast I Called My Husband 20 – 21
THE BEAST I CALLED MY HUSBAND
CHAPTER 20
*
When I got to the hospital I ask the nurse at the counter what ward that a patient who had an accident was admitted into she replied emergency ward. where can I find the emergency ward? I asked. when you go straight turn by your right… I didn’t wait for her to finish I rushed. though at first I was confused, after asking questions along the way, I got to the place. when I got to the emergency ward, I saw ladies standing, waiting for God knows who, I went too and stood am sure they are doing operation. when the doctor came out putting on an medical hand gloves he said who is this man’s wife. among the 5girls I saw there I was the one that answered to the call. yes I am the one. see me in my office said the doctor directing his steps to his office. I followed him to his office and took a sit as requested by the doctor. the doctor first breathed heavily which make my fear to raise and the intensity of my curiosity to increase. What is it doctor?I asked. madam we have done the operation to stop the blood and also the leg but the leg own is out of place.
your husband’s right leg has been disjointed and we have to cut it before it will affect the other leg. that’s not all he has lost a lot of blood and we need a blood doner to donate blood. if nothing is done he will die. doctor my blood is a universal blood so I will like to donate my own to my better half. and also don’t cut my husband’s legs I will take care of that I said with a high hope. okay if you say so. after discussing with the doctor, I went back to the emergency ward only to see Davidson’s brothers. So you want to kill my brother for us, you have frustrated him to this extent. God will judge you said Goodluck. I was just silent looking at his stupidity. you are a wicked woman, witch you are. If my brother die you will die too, that’s why my brother don’t like you idiot, Kingsley altered. I was still silent looking at them when the other one wanted to talk I then raised my voice, with anger and the pains I passed through in my marriage even the two ladies that are still there couldn’t talk they were dump founded. I said every thing I have to say then went on the donate my blood. before leaving I told them that if they insult me in anyway I will be there worst nightmare. 2 years in Prison for altering a slander is not too much. I can see fear written all over them.

Davidson recovered quickly after the medical treatment rendered to him. but his legs were still disjointed. a day after the incident was when Davidson’s mother came to the hospital. she brought lots of goodies that I was so amazed. she loved her sons so much especially her pride which was her first born Davidson. By that time Davidson could talk but not totally normal. how are you my son, how is it health, oh God nothing will take you away from me in Jesus name. amen Davidson answered in a low tune. I just rushed to see you I haven’t gone to the house sef I just want to see my son. oh mommy you shouldn’t have done that. I was sitting by the lift hand side of Davidson watching the drama of mother and son love. I will stay here with you till we go oo she said.hmmm mom go and change up I am here for you, the mom refused with a sign of shaking her head. Come on mom am not a kid anymore just go am here he turned to me, take my mother to the house are you getting me he said though in a low tune but yet rudely. Okay I answered turned to my mothers in-law let’s go mama. she stood up I tried helping her with some of her loads. stop there you pretentious woman I know you are happy my only son is in this state. you are the cause of all this she said. I ignored all her words and followed her to the house to drop her bags and for her to freshing up.
*
we got to the house, wow this place is getting more beautiful said my mothers in-law while looking around the healthy environment. we both went in,side, she wanted to do what she did before by entering into my bedroom but I refused her to enter, she has to go into the guest room. After freshing up, she came out well dressed. will you eat? I asked. No I wont, let’s go and see my son she replied. Okay I replied I was about to take a step when she dragged me by my hands backwards she held my hand so strong. I am back to give you another round of torment just get prepared to pack your things out of this house she said. Mama this is my husband’s house you can’t chase me away, you can do that in your husband’s house not mine. If you think you can throw me away then I will show you that am the boss lady you will be the one to receive hell from me and you will still be the one to leave. The days you people treated me badly and I kept quiet because of so-called love is over. The days of timidity i over looked, now my eyes have opened to give everyone justice according to the law. you all have given me a strong heart and I will do as that Stony heart leads I promise you mama I said with a smile on my face, leaving her with lots of questions.

we went back to the hospital to stay with Davidson, when we got there i saw Davidson k-ssing one of his concubines, a man in a state where he could not even speak properly. what I did was just to smile. I stood at the entrance of the door while my mothers in-law went In to have a chat with her son. she is my mother Davidson said with a low turn. Mama you are welcome she greeted her. welcome my daughter. Mama see mercy to Girlfriend said Davidson. my son don’t talk too much you will get another problem she said. yes Mama is right mercy supported. mine own job was to look at the drama. who is that at the door mercy asked. she is my housemaid, I picked her up from the streets to help her said Davidson. his words hurt me so bad I nearly shed tears. me I dustbine girl I said with a heavy heart. oh! you are so generous to have help this poor thing she altered and even stretch forth her hands to give me a thousand naira.thamks I don’t want my oga is paying me well I said to her.
