Broderick carried her from the bathtub and went ahead to place her on the bed, he placed his palm on he r head to examined her temperature and then covered he naked body with the duvet. He watched her face for a while before walking out of the room. When he got to his room, he sat and was bordered about the childr en. Why would that woman claim that the children were hers? He tried to lay on the bed to get some slee p but he couldn‘t. He then stood from the bed and went to pick an album that contained the pictures of his late wife, he began to flip through the pages of the album.
‘You!‘‘ he mumbled with a broken heart as he kept looking his late wife‘s picture, “You should have been alive when the secrete about you get exposed.” He eventually closed the album and dropped it. All throu gh the entire night, he couldn‘t sleep. As soon as it was early the following morning, he dressed and went straight to Nell‘s room. He greeted and requested that he wants to have some time with the children to w hich Nell agreed. He welcomed the six children to his room, he could feel a sense of comfort with the children around him. “Big uncle, yo u did not bully Amy yesterday, right?” Elijah asked. They were all worried about Amy, they didn‘t get to se e her after leaving the train to the mansion up until now. “I… well, you don‘t have to worry,” he didn‘t want to lie so he was trying to cut corners with his words. He bullied her, that was the truth and almost killed her. He likes to give her a ‘near death‘ experience. Tears rushed down from Debby‘s face, with Broderick‘s response, she could tell that Amy was bullied. She wasn‘t maki ng any noise as she cried, she was just sobbing quietly like an adult. “Debby,” Broderick called, seeing her cry made him hurt and he can‘t really say why precisely. He held her small hand and carried her then placed her in his arms,” Debby, why are you crying?” When the remaining five kids saw their sister crying, they all began to cry. Broderick felt like he had hurt these little ones. “I‘m so sorry, please stop crying,” Broderick said but the children never stopped crying. “Can some one tell me who hurts you? I promose to deal with the person,” Broderick said. “You are the one who is h urting us for hurting Amy,” Angel said. Why are these kids more concerned about Amy? “But can I ask why you
are more concerned about Amy? She‘s not even your mother,” Broderick said. Amy and Nell had warned the kids to agree to anyone who asked them about who their mother is to always say that it was Nell that was their motherand that they can only refer to Amy as aunt. The chil dren looked at eachother, tempted to tell the truth but they were all scared of the outcome. “She‘s our au nt and we love her, we don‘t want her to be bullied,” Queen said, still having a pitiful face. Broderick became suspicious immediately that something was off somewhere, why were they referr ing to Amy as their aunt? She wasn‘t even related to the Brodrick‘s family in anyway yet now, they were r eferring to her as aunt.
“You bullied her right, don‘t lie?” Elijah asked.
Broderick sighed and answered, ” I did but I didn‘t know she meant so much to you.” The children felt so bad after hearing Broderick say that, their heart sunk into sadness, and the sad

He thought of what he could do to make the little ones happy again and then said,” I will make it up to her .” “How?” Debby asked immediately he finished speaking. The remaining five kids set their gaze on Broderick and were curiously waiting for his response. “Your aunt can ask for whatever she wants and I‘ll grant her request,” Broderick said. “Then bring her here and tell her that,” Elisha said. Broderick gestured for the little ones to feel comf ortable and then said to them, “I‘ll be back, okay?” Seeing that they all nodded in response, he walked a way majestically. He walked over to Amy‘s room and on getting there, he planted a knock on the door, the knob of the door twisted in no time and the door gave way. Amy stood before him, dressed in a green short gown. “Follow me,” he said simply and turned, Amy followed him. Disobeyi ng him will

Moses continued,” he said he will make up for it so he said you can ask for whatever you want.” Queen immediately whispered to Amy‘s ear,” why don‘t you ask of us to leave this place?” The children didn‘t like the place too as they don‘t get to see Amy often unlike when th ey were in Southhill Amy who was arching her back just to level up with the height of the kids straightene d up and said to Broderick,” I can ask for Whatever I want, right?” “Yes,” Broderick responded with a strai ght face, he was even glaring at her. He was only doing this for the kids. The woman before him disgust him, but he didn‘t know why he has a special attraction towards the kids.
