Chapter 16

Everyone present could hear Atta wince.

The local anaesthesia gave way to this reaction.

He sutured his wounds and the pain could be unbearable.

The man had no other choice.

This patient’s attackers were still after him.

He must do all he can to keep him alive

He may not live to see another day if they know he is alive.

Thank God.

He was responding to treatment.

Oforiquaye gave Atta a concoction made up of leaves,

This would help heal the wounds.

Atta spewed the mixture.

Drink this.

It will help you.

Atta’s face was in contusion,

his lips rejected the aftertaste.

He shook his head

Pushed the mug away.

We must consider our options right now.

Mr Mireku's oldest son, Panyin, said they did not know where he came from.

If he opens up, they could ask him.

He will soon be able to talk.

I want to ask him now.

Give him a little more time.

It may bring back memories

Your questions could slow down his recovery.
