 Then Ifeoma rushed to her.

 "What's wrong mum, are you okay!",she asked.

 "What!, it's not true she's lieing, i didn't even touch her.i was only asking her why she was beating thonia up", Alex said.

 "If you didn't hurt her,then why is she on the ground crying ", asked Micheal.

 "I swear I didn't touch her", replied Alex.

 "Alex didn't hit her,he was just holding her back not to beat me", said thonia.

 "Shut up you bastard!", said Ifeoma.

Victor was in the sitting room watching what was going on.

 "Victor what happened here,did Alex hurt mom!", Michael asked.

 "Y-ye-yes he did",he replied.

 "You bastard,so you are lieing to me, how dare you hit my mom", Micheal said as he began to punch Alex on his face and All over his body.

Thonia began to cry seeing her brother being beaten by Michael. Seeing this, aunty peace became so happy.

Thonia decided to go stop Michael from beating Alex, but Ifeoma stopped her.and she struggled with Ifeoma to let her go, until Ifeoma pushed her away and she fell to ground and fainted.

Seeing this, Alex became so angry that he pushed Micheal away and rushed to his sister that was lying on the ground and held her.

 "Thonia!, thonia wake up",he said

But she wasn't answering.then he began to cry.

 "What about the wound on her arms?", he asked.

 "Would you please stop asking all this question and tell us if she's fyn!",she said.

 "How would I treat her without knowing what happened to her?",he asked.

 "Okay it's a knife ", replied aunty peace.

 "Wow,a knife I see. But had she taken any treatment for it",he asked.

 "Em, y-ye-yes she has",she replied.

 " Test results shows that she's too stressed out and needs some rest, but she will need a drip also so she would remain in the hospital for proper check up until she recovers ",he said.

 "But doctor, is she okay?", Michael asked.

 "She will be fine I think",he replied.

 "So we can go home now!?", aunty peace asked.

 "Yes sure.she will be fine don't worry about her",he replied.

 "Mom how's she doing,is she okay!?",she asked.

 "The doctor said she would be fyn", she replied.

 "Ahhhh thank God, that girl wants to put me trouble", said Ifeoma.

 "Don't mind her,I think that girl is possessed", said aunty peace.

 "What are you standing there looking at", asked aunty peace as Alex stood there watching them.

 "See!, that stupid sister of yours is fyn.so leave now", said Ifeoma.

Then Alex took a deep breath and left the sitting room.

 "He's upstairs in his room sleeping", Ifeoma replied.

 "Let's go to bed now, tomorrow I'll go bring that girl back from the hospital", said aunt peace.

 "Okay mom!", replied Ifeoma as they both went up stairs.

The next morning, aunty peace prepared to go bring Thonia back from the hospital.when she came out of the house, she found out that the car wasn't washed.so she began to call Alex.

 "Alex!, Alex!!", she screamed.

And Alex ran out from the back of house to meet her.

 "What are you sitting there doing, can't you come and tell me that you are done with the washing?",she asked.

But Alex kept quiet.

 "Are you done with the house chores?", she asked again.

 "No ma",he replied.

 "So what are you doing here,do you know that since your sister is ill, you would be the one doing all the house chores ",she said.
