The whole room grew quiet after Yewande left. Funsho clasped his hands in thought, it clearly didn't make sense that his father will hand over everything to a man who isn't his son- If his father had handed the hospital to Thomas, it would have been quite understandable but in this case it just seemed surreal.

"If you have questions, ask now"

Mrs Bimbo stood up walking towards Bosco, "You have been his legal adviser, before you was your father.  Couldn't you have advised him about how preposterous this is! No oh! No offense to Thomas oh but his children deserves more not crumbs! Ko ki n se pe emi àti ebi mi ko le ṣe aye lai gba owo lowo Chief. (Not like I can't survive without Chief's money, I can, we can!) But this....... It's almost as if it wasn't written by Chief"

Bosco looked away before gazing into her eyes again, "I already told your husband, but you know how sturbborn he can be especially when he makes a decision. It didn't have to be this way."

Mrs Bimbo scoffed then she left the sitting room.

"In absence of any question, I shall take my leave. Dr Thomas" he called out and Thomas followed along with Tiwa.

Tise got up picking her bag, "Huh..... I should go to work then" "Let's discuss this" Funsho suggested and she scoffed. "No offense, big brother but no. I'm not going to have this discussion, I can't believe Dad will do this. Not like I expected much but a recognition could have gone a long way"  she cried and Dunni felt bad for her.

"Tise"

"Good bye everyone" she snapped.

Chioma stared at her three children who were still seated in awe.  "Mom tell me you have like a million dollars stocked somewhere?" Adenike asked in a British accent and she kept quiet.

"She's awfully quiet" her brother noted, "Nike we're so screwed"

Adenike exhaled, "Calm down brother, I'm sure she had something stucked in her throat or she's trying to remember. Right Mom?" She asked and Chioma kept quiet.

"Let's not have this discussion here"

"Ehn? Me I don't see any stranger here oh. Is it not just our elder siblings?" She immediately switched to a Nigerian accent, "Mom you don't have a job"

"I have a beauty salon"

"Are we going back to school? We're supposed to leave this week" she added and Choima still kept mute. "What about school? Does it mean our dream is over and we'll be stuck in Nigeria? Mom say something"

Chioma rolled her eyes leaving and Adenike turned towards Funsho. "Temi bami, Ki la ma se bayii? (what are we going to do now?)" She asked and Funsho busted into laughter.

"Kilo wa se British accent re? (What happened to your British accent?)" Funsho asked and she hissed, "Wo, Bristish accent is not necessary now! British accent, oshi wo? I'm already seeing my future in Nigeria. Ah! Why will Dad do this? Even if my inheritance could be my tuition fee, I would have been more than happy. After that, I can now hustle. Where am I supposed to get a job in Nigeria that pays in dollars?"

"You're not getting any job"

"But..."

"What do you have us for?"

Adenike gasped then she quickly hugged him. "Thank you. I know the situation doesn't call for it but...." she kissed him on the cheek moving towards Gbade hugging him.
