Oh No!

'What am I going to do now?' Chuka wondered as he tapped his hand on the steering wheel and drove out of the estate.

He connected his phone to the car's Bluetooth device before dialling Eric's number.

It rang for some time and disconnected when Eric failed to take his call. Was he still at the hospital with his parents? Chuka wondered as he dialled the number again.

When Eric still didn't take his call, he decided to call Wumi instead. Maybe she could reach out to their mother and pass the information on to Eric herself.

He scrolled through his phone for Wumi's number, which he had saved as 'gumdrop,' and dialled her number.

"If you're calling because something you bought is missing, I didn't take it," Wumi said defensively before Chuka could say a word, but he was too worried to find the humour in her words.
