“You cannot be serious!” Luluwa hissed, springing to her feet. “Father!” Nunka shouted from behind her. “You know what will happen if you travel there-“ “You cannot leave me alone in this condition!” Luluwa continued. “I believe I am once again with another child!” Both Cain and Nunka stopped and looked at the distraught Luluwa.
