"Rise, daughter of man. Your answers are here. Iyanu has recovered and the perpetrators have been taken into custody." Sunday said but it was a lie. However, he had to say that because of the pain that racked his heart at the sight of the lady.
She'd suffered so much already that he felt she would have condition improved if she knew Iyanu was indeed feeling well.
Which meant, he had to get out of here, faster than he could to make good of his words. And as he considered it briefly, it was going to be a problem now that there was a demon waiting to have a pound of flesh from her, downstairs.
Going to Iyanu immediately would mean leaving Bolu. And unless he could get her to leave with him, there was no guarantee that the demon would spare her.
And if that did happen, there was no need for all of this in the first place. It meant, simply, that he failed his mission. And that's as something he could not bare to see.
