Chapter 109 Lord Douglas Horrible Fate
Amy summoned all the courage she had before she could unlock her face from him. He examined where he bad cut himself and then held his hand until Joan arrived with the kit. As soon as the kit was placed down. she began to treat him. She noticed that he was staring at her face but she ignored.
After she was done, she stood and gestured for Joan to take the kit away. After Joan had left, Amy went to sit on the couch that was opposite his.
“I heard of how it had been tough on you over here,” Prince Nolan suddenly spoke.
“Tell me what you find out precisely about me?” Amy asked.
*That Michael Alessandro took you away from here and by the time you returned, both Broderick Alessandro and your kids couldn’t remember whom you are to them anymore,” he said.
“Research well made,” Amy said.
“I’ll be meeting with your father tomorrow to discuss about business matters after which I will leave in six days time,” Prince Nolan said.
“So you planned on spending seven days here?” Amy asked.
“Yes. And I need a favor from you?” He requested.
“Please go on!” Amy requested.
“Please accommodate me until my stay here is over,” he said and added,” this mansion is a very big one, it can accommodate more than twenty people, kindly give me a room, please?”
Amy was not expecting such request, she frowned slightly and said,” two adults of opposite sex living under the same roof? I don’t think it’s what I want to do. I’m so sorry.”
“I understand that I’m still a stranger to you but please trust me, I won’t hurt you. It’s just the wish of a prince to stay here with you,” he said.
“Why should I accomodate you? Because you received bullet for me or?” Amy asked.
“No, not at all. You are free to decline. But if you let me stay here, I can help in whatever way I can,” he said.
“In what ways can you help me?” Amy wanted to know what ways he could help her in particular.
“Well, I could help get your children back,” Prince Nolan said.
“And what make you think that Broderick and his wife won’t take them back after you leave? The only way to get my kids and Broderick back is to make them recover their memory and that’s almost impossible. Taking the kids away from them is just a temporary solution.” . .
“I know of an old physician in our kingdom who could use his old techniques of healing people to help your kids and Broderick to recover their memory but the downside of this is that he can’t come over here, you can only go to meet him over there,” he said.
“But can he really help people to recover their memory?” Amy asked.
“Yes, he can. At least, I have witnessed him heal two people who had a loss of memory. Infact, you could browse on Google about the old sage,” he said,
Amy brought out her phone and went to the Google website,” what keyword should I type on the search box?”.
“Just search for ‘EastHill oldest physician,” he responded,
Amy searched for the exact keywords and the first results Amy saw was a bio of the man and some people’s review of his techniques. She clicked on the website at the top search result and began to read about the old sage.
After a couple of minutes, she confirmed with the reviews of people that he was such a talented physician. What’s so amazing was that he doesn’t use the modern technique to treat people, he uses the old technique to heal people.
“I think I’ll like to try him but how do I get my kids to follow me?” Amy asked. She was so desperate in helping her children recover her memory. If it works for her children, she could tell Broderick to come over so he can get healed and recover his memory but on the other side, she was scared of going to a strange land.
She had only met prince Nolan today, though he received a bullet for her but is that enough reason as to why she would follow him to his country?
“So for you to take me to your country to meet the physician, I have to let you stay here for seven days?” Amy asked.

“No, I never said so,” Prince Noah stood and said,” the last thing I want is for you to misunderstand me. Amy, if you don’t want to accomodate me, it’s fine. If you wish to follow me to my country in the next six days, then good, if you don’t trust me enough, fine still. I won’t force you. It’s nice meeting you,” he said and stretched his hand towards her.
Amy sighed and stood, she received his handshake and watched as he walked out.
Amy remained standing still thinking about what he said, while in her thought, Joan saw her from afar and walked to her.
“Amy, the food is ready,” she said and both women went to sit at the dinning.
Joan noticed that Amy was absentminded and then she asked, “Amy, are you still thinking about Prince Nolan?”
“No. I’m thinking about what he said,” Amy said and explained everything that prince Nolan said before she could even ask.
Joan was stunned, “he is such a rich man, I’m sure he can lodge in the hotel for one year even if he so wish, why would he want you to accomodate him?”
“Sincerely, I don’t know. It’s wierd and although the search result about the old physician seems legit, can 1 really follow a man I know for less than eight hours to his country in six days time? What if he turns out to be the opposite of who he is? Just like Michael?” Amy asked.
“Not every man would be like Michael, though. I have not even heard any news about Michael’s whereabout until now,” Joan ‘said.
Amy sighed and began to eat.
“Irvin said Prince Nolan is a good man but Irvin is only judging based on what people say about him or what he read about him, he didn’t know how deep his heart is. I’m scared. Though I want my children to recover their memory, I still think it’s too much of a risk,” Amy lamented.
*Amy, let’s eat first then we will think about this. I assure you that we would not make a decision that will affect us negatively.” Joan said.
Amy tried so hard to pushed the thought aside and continued eating.
After they were done eating, Joan went to the kitchen with the empty dishes that they had used in eating while Amy stood from the chair. As she walked to her room, she wondered why Broderick didn’t want to
speak with her.
When it was the morning of the following day, a knock on the door awoke Amy. She walked to Joan’s room and saw that she was sound asleep and didn’t wake despite the knock. Amy guessed that she must have worked overnight, reason behind why she slept so sound.
Amy walked up to the door and on opening it, she saw Broderick.
“Hi!” She greeted briefly.
“Hey!” Broderick said and silence dominated both of them. Neither of them said a word for another ten seconds.
“Erm… Did you want to come inside?” Amy asked.
“No.”
“Oh!” Amy wondered what his purpose for coming here was then.
“I’m so sorry that my grandfather had to bully you, it really hurts me that he did,” Broderick said.
“It’s fine, have you found Michael?”
“No one knows where he is. I need you to follow me somewhere,” Broderick said and Amy looked at the casual wear she was wearing. She hasn’t even bathed yet.
“You can go ahead and dress, I’ll wait for you in my car,” Broderick said.
“Why don’t you want to come in? You can wait inside?” Amy suggested.
“Nothing,” Broderick turned and went to his car.
Amy wondered why he was acting wierd, she went inside and quickly bathed then she quickly dressed up. She then walked to Joan’s room and called her a number of times but she wouldn’t respond.
She then scribbled the words ‘I went out with Broderick,” in a sheet of paper and placed it beside her. Then she walked out
Once she got to where Broderick’s car was, the door to the driver’s seat opened on it’s own and she stepped
in.
Broderick didn’t spare her a glance but rather kept driving quietly.
“You didn’t want to speak with me yesterday, may I know why?” Amy asked, looking at his side profile.
“No.”
“You don’t want to tell me why you don’t want to speak with me? Do you care if I made it out of there alive cause you didn’t even call to check on me?” Amy asked despite his cold attitude.
But Broderick didn’t say any word but kept driving.
Amy sighed and lamented,” I wonder where you are taking me to.”
Broderick kept quiet still and soon arrived on a bridge that crossed one of the rivers in North Hill. There was a lorry already parked while Broderick parked his car before the Lorry.
“Get down,” Broderick said and stepped down. Amy got down too. The sight of the river was scary and Amy couldn’t help but wonder what their purpose here was.
Broderick clapped as a signal and two tall men jumped down from front seats of the Lorry and came to open the locked back door of the lorry and brought out an old man who was tied in the hand and leg.
It took a while before Amy recognized the old man to be Lord Douglas.
Lord Douglas was made to sit by the edge of the bridge resting on the irons that barricaded the bridge. His mouth was sealed with a tape so he couldn’t make a sound.
The two men took steps back while Broderick walked towards Lord Douglas and angrily removed the tape on his mouth.
“Did you think you are god? Just because you are the clan master, you think you can bully anyone you like?”. Broderick asked.
“Broderick, I know you have anger issues but don’t act stupid, we can talk amicably,” Lord Douglas said.
“Talk amicably, huh? If you had hurt me alone, I’ll have forgiven you but you slapped her, Broderick pointed to Amy with so much pain in his eyes. “Did you know how much that hurts me? I told you I can destroy the entire clan because of her but you did not believe me. Where are the Alessandro’s clan soldiers now?” Broderick asked.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m still your grandfather, you can’t hurt me, son,” Lord Douglas said. He was scared of what Broderick would do to him.
Broderick turned to Amy and said, “this man slapped you until you spat blood, what punishment does he deserve?”
Amy shook her head, she couldn’t stand an old man being punished, she didn’t know what to say.
Broderick commanded the men,” throw him inside the river. The fishes will thank us that we provided them with a food.”
