Chapter 30: Dying Again

Her words came out too quickly, and she made sure to look at Nnenna, waiting for some kind of approval. But Nnenna, still quiet, didn't show much emotion in return.

Somto studied the situation carefully. He could sense the tension in the room, the heavy silence that followed her words.

Queen Chioma's smile faltered just slightly, and it didn't take much for Somto to realize that her excitement over the gifts was feigned.

She wasn't pleased at all with the way her children had acted, but she was doing her best to maintain a facade of civility.

The fact that she emphasized the gifts so much, almost too much, made it clear that something wasn't right. Somto's suspicions deepened.

Nnenna finally decided to follow Queen Chioma's lead and replied, "That's right," her tone calm but measured. The scene before her didn't quite match the words spoken, but she chose to go along with it, for the sake of the situation.

Somto, who was still standing silently at the back, could still feel the tension in the room, but he didn't show any emotion.

His thoughts raced, but he decided to hold off on speaking for now. The contradictions weren't lost on him, but he would bide his time.

Turning to Nnenna, Somto continued, "Alright, that's why we're here. I spoke to the director, and since you still have physical therapy to complete, you'll be staying here for a while.
