Forged in the Flames by Karima Sa'ad Usman

Chapter 68

Qusack walked briskly behind me.

“Do you really think he is right?” He linked me as we walked.

He was referring to what Gabriel had told me about the doctor, and I did not know how to respond.

Everything was necessary now, and I did not plan to take chances.

nd I would have found one of the moles, but who was he working for?

Could he have been under Fredrick’s employ all this while? I did not know, but acting immediately would make me make mistakes, so I planned to launch an investigation on Doctor Newton and have him fall into my trap.

“We will investigate the bastard. Right now, I need to see Mother urgently,” I said, and

Qusack stopped me from walking so I could look at him.

He had a worried expression as if he was afraid about what I was about to do to my mother.

“You heard Gabriel, Niko. She was in a bad place. Please let it go. I am sure she is sorry by now.,” Qusack said, trying to protect her from my rage, and it was understandable he would think I was mad at her because of her flings.

I wasn’t mad at all.

I just need her to give me details about Aliana’s mother. I needed to know if she knew the woman was there. If Fredrick made her serve her food.

I needed to know if she chose to be silent because Gwendolyn was Gabriel’s wife and Aliana’s mother.

My mother had proven that she was vindictive, so I wouldn’t put something that low past her.

She might have kept quiet so the woman could suffer.

She might have felt betrayed that she married a man she fancied or maybe even married a man that rendered her and her son homeless.

With my mother, one could never know what to expect.

I shook my head so Qusack would know he was far from it. I really did not care about who she slept with or who she fancied. She had successfully messed up her life; that was her problem, not mine. Honestly, I was over it.

“That is far from it, Qusack,” I said, pulling him aside.

“Mind link only,” I linked him, and he nodded, realising it was something serious.

“Gabriel’s wife is alive,” I linked him, and he gasped. I nodded immediately.
