Chapter 66: He Never Loved Me Chapter 66: He Never Loved Me Nnenna’s frantic breathing slowed, her wide eyes locking onto his.

Finally, someone seemed to believe her.

“Mummy Courage…

Mummy Courage is going to die if I don’t save her,” she whispered, her voice trembling but steadying with each word.

Ikenna didn’t flinch.

He didn’t laugh or dismiss her like the others.

Instead, he turned to the nurse holding the injection, his tone razor sharp.

“Where is Nurse Courage?” The nurse swallowed hard, his hands shaking.

“Sh-she left after her shift,” he stammered, clearly unnerved.

Ikenna turned back to Nnenna, his focus unwavering.

He crouched slightly, meeting her eye to eye, his voice quieter now but full of purpose.

“You’re saying she’s at No.1* Ring Street, Cotton Road, East Side of the city?

And she’s in trouble?” Nnenna nodded feverishly, her head bobbing like a child seeking reassurance.

“Yes…

yes!” she said, her voice breaking as desperation poured through her.

“Okay,” Ikenna said, standing straight.

“Let’s go help her.” He gestured to one of the staff to grab a jacket for Nnenna, then took her hand firmly in his and led her out of the room.

To everyone watching, it was a ridiculous sight.

Even Ikenna felt a twinge of doubt, but he pushed it aside.

Nnenna had asked for his trust, and today, he realized she already had it, more than he thought possible.

So he chose to believe her.

‘What’s the worst that could happen?’ he thought.

He would take her there, show her everything was fine, then drive her back.

She would feel reassured, maybe even happy, and they could all move on.
