👫💞 The Pastor’s Daughter Episode 25:
After Love gave me her parents address, I sat outside thinking about what she wanted me to do and my friends met with me.
“How far? They asked touching my shoulders and I only heaved.
“How her body dey? I hear she don wake, the one who was shot in the leg asked.
“Yes, the police just left. They are still looking for the boss and she saw the boss face, I replied.
“So your babe was the boss babe o true true? Is that why you’re worried? One asked and I looked at them and breathed out.
“She wants me to find her parents for her, and she’s talking about dying, I replied.
“E no bad say she wan see her parents, but that dying part hmmmmm. You know wetin the doctor been tell you ba? they asked and I angrily looked at them.
“Love can’t die and I don’t care what the doctor said about her condition. If she was able to open Her eyes and talked for a long time with the police, she will make it! I shouted.
“Guy calm down, we no wish her death after going through such operation for her. But you have to go see her parents, they have the right to know what happened to her. If you’re scared of who will take care of her, don’t worry we go turn nurse, my close pal said touching me and I just bowed my head.

That night I looked at Love as she slept,
“The poison has surrounded her already before you brought her here but we will try our best to see how we can stop it, I remembered what the doctor said and a nurse came and whispered something in his ears.
“Excuse me, the doctor said and wanted leaving but I followed him to see why the whispers.
“Was she wounded? The doctor asked me and that was when I saw the wound on her hand. The thread was loosening because her skin could not hold it anymore and I remembered the one eye guy talking about drug operation.
“Doctor open her, looks like there’s something inside, I replied him.
“We don’t open patients anyhow, she has to be taken to the theater, the doctor said.
“Doctor please hurry, there’s something inside of her and its eating her skin, I said and the doctor left. I was so impatient and my friend walked in and met me keeping my head on Love crying.
“Guy what happened? He asked touching me and I showed him Love hand.
“Eiiiii! He shouted looking for his small knife.
“The doctor said they have to take her to the theater, I said.
“Theater ke for this thing? Drug upon drugs and you dey wait for theater? My friend asked and cut the thread loosed before I could say anything, opened her skin and pulled out the drugs under her while I stood looking in shock.

“Cotton wool o! My friend shouted as I confusedly ran around for that and met a nurse telling her we could not wait for the operation and she shouted enough on my head before going to tell the doctor who quickly attended to her.
I sniffed and stood up from Love,
“I’ll go get your parents for you okay, I said touching her forehead and left.
I left Love with my friends and traveled before she could see me that morning and I was able to locate her Father’s house.
I recognized the young guy I saw outside breaking firewood To be Pius and he saw me coming and stopped breaking the wood and greeted me.
“Good Afternoon. Where’s your father? I asked him.
“At home, wait let me go call him, he replied and went in and shortly came out.
“You can go in please, he said leading me in and i met her father with his head lying upward as he sat on the couch. I saw tiredness In his eyes and he sat up well when he saw me,
“You’re welcome, sit down, he said after I greeted him and I did.
“Where’s your wife sir? I asked looking around.

“Who are you? You don’t even look familiar, he said.
‘Uhmmm am a friend, I replied.
“To who? And my wife she’s sick, he said.
“Because of Love? I asked and his eyes bulged out.
“How did you know about Love? Do you know where she is? Tell me please, he anxiously said and I breathed out.
“That’s why am here sir, you have to follow me somewhere, I replied and he left where he sat and came very close to me.
“Please what happened to her? Is she okay? He asked and I nodded.
“She wants to see you sir, I replied.
“Okay are you leaving tomorrow? He asked.
“If possible sir let it be today, I replied and he weakly looked at me.
He called Pius and told him to serve me and he left the sitting room. After drinking the water done with the food, surprisingly I saw him coming out dressed holding a school bag.
“Should we start going now? He asked.
“Daddy are you traveling? Pius asked.
‘I’ll be back tomorrow, take care of your mother okay, he replied.

“Okay, Pius said and we set off before evening.
I was the one driving and I could feel Love father eyes on me throughout,
“Is everything really okay with Love? I see your hands shaking, he finally spoke up and I looked at him.
‘Love is in the hospital, I replied knowing his a man.
“What is she doing there? He asked and I rolled my eyes not knowing where to start.
“What is she doing there? What happened to her! he shouted.
“Are you concerned? Are you worried? After you pushed your daughter out of the house, I replied.
“What are you talking about? He asked.
“You caused it. Because you’re a pastor you think your children does not have a life of their own right? I asked.
“What life are you talking about? A life that will lead them to destruction? He asked.
“No you lead them to destruction with your strictness on your children. You made home unbearable for them and caused Love to leave, I replied.

“You have no right to question my parenthood, all I did was train my children the way I know is best for them. You have no idea of how wicked the world is, I have to protect them! He shouted.
“Is that so? I asked.
“What happened to Love? He asked back and I shortly told him what happened.
“What! She was involved in drugs? He asked.
“You didn’t get the story? She was sold out by her friend, I replied and he cleaned his face and was very uncomfortable.
“This was the reason why I was protecting my daughter! He shouted.
“By making her feel that you don’t love her? You made things difficult for them and made them to see the world as a safe place, I said.
“Until you get there then you’ll understand the burden of training and grooming a child to adulthood….
