Chapter 136
“I dare you to throw me out,” Amy said and suddenly pressed her body on his, her hands curved around him.
Amy felt something like liquid fall on her neck, since her head was resting on his chest. She raised her face up to his and saw a drop of tears falling gently like dew from his blue eyes.
Do men cry? Amy thought. Amy had seen women cry on many occasions but this was the first time she will see tears on a man’s face. She withdrew her body back slowly, feeling pathetic for the father of her children.
T’ll take my leave, Mr. Broderick,” Amy said and Broderick nodded simply. She turned to the door, pushed it open and walked out
Broderick cleaned the single drop of tears on his face. Though he didn’t like the way Amy saw tears on his face as it made him feel weak before her but it was uncontrollable. He suddenly sighted
nething strange from a tall house, as if someone was pointing a long gun to…
He traced the direction of the gun to Amy and his heart skipped, seeing that the person was about to cock the gun, he pushed the door open and ran towards her, covering her body with his. The bullet penetrated hard into his back and he coughed out blood, his hand shivering as he fell to his knees. Amy was shocked at what just happened, she looked around and saw the man who just shot running away with his big gun. In that same second, she saw Broderick on his knees coughing out blood. It dawned on her that Broderick had received bullet for her.

“Broderick!” She screamed hard. She held him tightly with tears streaming down his face. Amy’s neighbor who saw this horrible scene had immediately placed a call across to the ambulance.
“Broderick, why did you do this? You didn’t deserve to die,” Amy said with so much tears pouring from her face, Broderick wanted to speak but it was impossible for him to even say a word, he fell to his back and began to struggle to keep his eyes open.
*Please!… Amy shook his shoulder, “please stay alive…Please,” she pleaded earnestly.
The ambulance team soon came and carried Broderick away. Leola, Amy’s neighbor and the same person who called the ambulance team approached her.
Leola hugged Amy dearly and Amy cried so hard on her shoulders, she said with a shivering mouth, “he received a bullet on my behalf.”
Leola just kept her in his hug after which she lead him inside her room.
After they had both sat, Leola cleaned the tears on Amy’s face but more tears never stopped falling.
“I’m scared! Very scared! What if … Amy was scared that Broderick was going to die. If that happens, it will take a lot for her and her children to survive here at North Hill. Plus she doesn’t even want to imagine the pain she will feel for loosing the man she loves “You have to be optimistic, Amy. Let’s hope for good news.” Leola encouraged.
Broderick was escorted home in the middle of the night by his head of guards. Once he get home, he placed a call across to Brett and told him to investigate who shot the gun,
Broderick crossed his two legs and wondered why there were so many people after Amy’s life. He
was the one with many enemies, hence, people should be trying to kill him not Amy. He assured himself to find out whom they are.
Broderick placed a call across to Amy and she answered it almost immediately even though it was in the middle of the night.
“Mr. Broderick, is that you?” Amy asked concernedly.
