Beloved Wife Of The God Of War
Chapter 49

On getting to the apartment that was rented for Nanny Tammy decades ago, Burnett pulled the car over and stepped down. Julie also stepped down and they both walked to the entrance of the house.

Burnett knocked a number of times but there was no response.

"I don't think the door is closed," Julie said and twisted the knob then it opened.

Burnett opened the door widely and peeped inside, all he could perceive were drugs.

"There may be a sick person in here," Burnett said and walked in with Julie. The couple then went on to the only bedroom available there and on opening the door, they were welconed with a thick smell of drugs. The woman on the bed looked very skinny and weak.

Julie walked closer and realized that this woman was Nanny Tammy.

"Oh my days!" Julie exclaimed in shock. "What has happened to her that made her look this way?"

"Is she living alone here? Can she even talk?" Burnett said.

Apparently, Nanny Tammy's eyes were closed. Burnett and Julie suddenly heard someone's step approaching them, they both exchanged glances before setting their gaze on the door to see who would walk

in.

A man dressed in a military uniform suddenly walked in, he immediately brought out his gun and pointed it at Burnett and Julie, "who the fuck are you people?"

Burnett and Julie raised both of their hands up and said, "we mean ho harm. Nanny Tammy is our old friend, we remembered her and came to check on her."

The young officer observed them for a while and lowered his gun, he still didn't trust the couple yet so he went ahead and search them. Seeing that they were without weapons, he tucked his gun back.

"Stay by a side," he said. Burnett and Julie obeyed and stayed by a side.

"Mama," he called and tapped Nanny Tammy gently. The woman fluttered her eyes opened and on seeing Coleem, she forced out a smile, "Coleen, you came back so early. I told you not to worry too much about me and focus on your work." The woman swallowed and added, "the maid you employed for me is doing her job well."

"Mama..." Coleen almost cried, "I miss you so much."

Nanny Tammy raised her hand up and touched his cheek, "you have been my only companion for years. I would be lying if I say I didn't wish badly to see you."

"I'm so happy to see you," Nanny Tammy said. Infact, from her expression, one could tell that she was so happy to see Coleen.

"Mama... Did you know these people?" He said, pointing to Burnett and Julie. Burnett and Julie quickly appeared before Nanny Tammy.

"Mr. Burnett... Mrs. Julie..." Nanny Tammy called. These two people gave her a baby to cater for and after two years of sending her money for upkeep, they totally abandoned her. For the rest of the years, she worked night and day to take care of Coleen. Now, her godson, Coleen is one of the one hundred and ten Generals for Western Ocean City. That's a dream come through for her, it's just that sickness didn't allow her to enjoy her 'son's' wealth. Infact, her sickness is even sucking so much money from him.

"Nanny Tammy, it hurts me to see you this way..." Julie said.

"Tammy, what happened to you?" Burnett questioned.

"I feel sick and the doctors couldn't help my case. I'm dieing," she almost cried.

Burnett and Julie felt sad for her, "Tammy, this man here... Is he...."

Nanny Tammy quickly said to Coleen, "Coleen, please excuse us."

"Mama... Did you really trust these people?" Coleen asked, he wasn't willing to leave his 'mom' alone with these couple.

"Trust me," Nanny Tammy said.

Coleen then nodded and walked out.

Julie sat at the edge of the bed and asked her, "why don't you call us when you fell sick?"

Tammy's face changed into a stern one, "you abandoned me all these years and you suddenly want me to call you when I fell sick, huh? Why are you here?" Tammy knew these people were here for a reason so there was no point acting as if they care for her.

"Is that man the little boy I gave you to take care of years ago?" Burnett asked in a whisper, he never can tell if Coleen is by the door, trying to listen to their conversation.

"No, the boy died four years later as a result of leukemia, I called your number and that of miss. Julie severally but neither of you answered my call." She answered.

"Who is this young man then?" Burnett asked curiously.

"My son. He's a product of a night stand I had with a gigolo. You should leave now..." Nanny Tammy suddenly began to cough and shouted, "Coleen."

Coleen rushed inside and attended to her quickly, "sorry mama, should I get you water?"

"Send these two people away and don't let them ever appear here again," Nanny Tammy said.

"Scram!" Coleen shouted on them and brought out his gun as if ready to shoot, Burnett and Julie immediately ran out.

"Did they try to hurt you mommy?" Coleen asked.

"No, but I don't want to see them again," Nanny Tammy said.

"Got it, mama. Let me warn then," he then walked out.

"Did they think I'm a fool? Of course, Coleen is the little boy you abandoned in my care, I won't give him back to you cause you don't deserve him," Nanny Tammy mumbled. She suffered so much to raise Coleen, how can some two idiots appear out of nowhere trying to claim him?

When Coleen appeared outside, he threatened Burnett and Julie, "next time I see the both of you here, I'll shoot you dead."

The two couple rushed inside their car and drove off.

As they drove away, Burnett said, "why do I think Tammy is lying? Is she really a type that will sleep with a gigolo?"

"I honestly don't know what to think. It's even more scary that the man is a general in the military too." She said.

"He's a general?"

"Yes, of course, see the number of stars on his shoulder," Julie said. "I hope he never meets Katherine. And I hope Mrs. Kate never replace out that Katherine is their daughter."

Julie suddenly looked at Burnett who was fully concentrated on the driving, "I'm scared, Burnett. What if the truth gets revealed? We have many hidden secrets, we were even the one that killed Charles. Basically, we stole the first two kids of Mrs. Kate and killed the last one."

"The secrets will never be out unless you spill it." Burnett said.

"Why would I? I'll die with these secrets. I'm just scared."

"You don't have to," Burnett himself was scared but he had to act like he wasn't. If Mrs. Kate and her husband ever replace out these secretes, they are as good as dead.
