Baba orakwe itself was sleeping and so was his entire household. Some of the tenant had been flocking to see Mrs ademola at the hospital and to their utmost surprise she had never been treated for almost two days that she had been admitted in the hospital . Since baba orakwe has collected the money that she was supposed to pay as hospital bill for his rent , the children had been helpless . They ran to the mothers family members again and one of them had asked them to come later in the evening for the money . The doctors had required that she deposited fifty thousand naira before they could start to administer treatments on her.
That fateful evening. Biola had gone to her mothers elder brothers and luckily for her. Her uncle had given her seventy thousand naira and also promise to go with her to the hospital.
As they drove into the hospital, they met junior, biola,s younger brother who was told to always stay with their mother in case she needed anything or needed someone to talk with outside crying on top of his voice. When asked why, he simply cried the more.
Biola and her uncle ran to her mothers ward .
They discovered the woman was already covered from head to toe . She was dead.
When the news of Mrs ademola death reached baba orakwe,s compound , the silence broke into wails of cry. The cry was so disturbing that people knew it was not a fight r quarrel that was the cause .
