A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 190 Released On Bail

William paused. Looking at Keegan’s serious expression, he nodded, “Don’t worry, she won’t be able to hurt Sherry again.”

“Are you going to kill her?”

“No. Sherry wouldn’t want me to do that. If she wanted, I would have done that for her!” He said, “I have another way.’

“What?”

“Let her forget what happened before and send her abroad!”

“What do you mean?” Keegan raised his eyebrows.

Before he had finished his sentence, William’s phone rang, “Alexis, what is it?”

“Darcy was released on bail by the Mclean family.” Alexis said at the other end of the line.

“Why was she released on bail?” William was a little startled. He narrowed his eyes, thinking, could it be?

But he didn’t say anything out loud.

“Caelan Mclean had a certificate made that stated that she was mentally ill. The police could not do anything about it, they had to let her go!” Alexis said.

“I see. Thank you!” William said with a solemn expression.

Since Caelan knew that Darcy was mentally ill, he suddenly issued the evaluation certificate. Why did he keep getting her out? Or was the evaluation was originally flawed?

William didn’t dare to think that.

Alexis waited for his answer, “What do you want to do?”

“Deep hypnosis!” William said.

“Is it useful for mental illness?” Alexis raised eyebrows.

“I’ll handle this first, or maybe she is not mentally ill at all!” William didn’t expect the Mclean family to come forward. Didn’t he care about Lucille and her sister’s matters? He just immediately said that she was mentally ill. What kind of tricks was Caelan hiding up his sleeve?

At this moment, downstairs became a bit noisy, and they heard Liam say, “Uncle! You are here!”

Sherry also had changed her clothes by now and she opened the door just in time as Cohen and Liam came upstairs.

Upon seeing Sherry, Cohen rushed over to her in concern, “Sherry, what happened? Are you alright?”

His nervousness and concern warmed Sherry’s heart, “I’m fine!”

No one had told Cohen that Sherry had almost committed suicide fearing that he might kill someone.

Cohen hugged Sherry, “Don’t be afraid, Dad will get some bodyguards to protect you. Something like this will never happen again.”

Sherry just buried her head in Cohen’s arms and did not speak. After experiencing a series of extremely shocking and frightening situations, she felt really tired.

William looked at Sherry depending on Cohen like that, his eyes flashed with complex emotions.

Thinking of Darcy’s words before she was taken away, she said that if though she didn’t do it, someone did. He was thinking, maybe Peter did it.

“Dad, please take Sherry home, I need to go handle some affairs. I will have to inconvenience you for a few days.” William said respectfully.

“Sure, don’t worry!” Cohen didn’t refuse. After all, William was the one who found her, if it wasn’t for him, Sherry would have been killed.

“Sherry, please!” William said again.

“This time, it was an accident. Keegan, send someone immediately to protect Sherry. Wait no, you go! You are responsible for her safety. Stay with her twenty-four seven, okay?” Cohen ordered.

“Yes! Please be rest assured!” Keegan reassured him.

William said to Sherry again, “Be obedient, go home and don’t go out at all! I’ll come meet you as soon as I come back.”

She hummed and nodded.

William hugged her in front of everyone. Being hugged like that in front of everyone, Sherry was a little shy and she quickly broke free from him.

William didn’t comment on it, he just said to Liam, “Liam, come with me to the Mclean house.”

“Okay.” Liam nodded and then turned to Sherry, “Sherry, your father is my uncle so we are cousins. I’ll be going now!”

Hearing his words, Sherry was startled. She looked at Cohen in confusion, whose lips were pursed, “He is right! My original surname was Brooks…”

Mclean family.

It was nine o’clock at night.

“Caelan, Darcy ran away!” Mrs. Mclean ran out in a hurry, “What should I do? She was here a moment ago, but now she’s gone.”

“Damn it!” Caelan growled.

When William arrived, he saw this scene, “Darcy is missing?”

Caelan saw that William was surprised, which meant that he knew what happened at the police station and also what Darcy was doing. “William, Liam, Darcy did something wrong but she is mentally ill. Let her off!”

Hearing this, William’s sharp gaze fell on Caelan’s face, a flash of gloom passed by on his stern face. He said leisurely, “Mr. Mclean, is Darcy’s mental illness real?”

“What do you mean?” Caelan asked him in shock.

“Mr. Mclean, is Darcy really missing?” William asked him sternly, his cold face looking majestic.

His sharp gaze didn’t let any of Caelan’s expressions slip by,even Mrs. Mclean was stunned. Were Darcy and Lucille really mentally ill? Or was this all just a pretense of Mclean family.

Were they really the same as their mother? Was it a genetic disease?

William’s sudden question stunned everyone. Mrs. Mclean felt a little embarrassed, “William, whatever you say, you almost became our son-in-law. Lucille didn’t get to live that life. Darcy made a mistake. For Lucille’s sake, just let her go! We have decided to admit her into a mental hospital, we want to send Lucille too. You can be rest assured that something like this will never happen again!”

William’s eyes narrowed sharply, “Isn’t Lucille almost healed?”

“How could she be healed?” Mrs. Mclean subconsciously glanced at Caelan’s face, “Is she, Caelan?”

Caelan furrowed his brows in anger, “Shut up!”

Mrs. Mclean immediately shut up after being reprimanded.

“Mrs. Mclean, she was just released, how can she run away?” Liam smiled softly and made a call, “Did you guys see someone leaving the Mclean house just now?”

He turned on the speaker of the phone and faced it towards everyone. A man’s voice came from the other side of the call, “Liam, your dad said to follow her even if she is released from the prison on bail. We will follow her for continuously until the case is over. We have been following the Mclean car and saw them go in the house. No one came out before you guys went in.”

Liam smiled slightly, “Mr. and Mrs. Mclean, were you lying?”

Caelan’s face turned green, “William, let’s keep this matter between us.”

“Mr. Mclean, I just want to know if the psychological authentication is true!” William stared at Caelan sharply, as if he could see through his mind. His low voice was abnormally deep, “I don’t want it to turn like that time. Tell Darcy to come out.”

“Of… Of course, it’s true!” Caelan was really nervous.

“Mr.Mclean, to find out if she is ill or not, we just need to get her evaluated again. Your or my words should not decide it, nor the evaluation report that you have, I demand her to be evaluated again.”

Liam’s mind worked quickly, he glanced at Caelan’s serious face that seemed to have frozen in place. He was reminded of the secret and was startled that the evaluation was fake.

“Are you suspecting that I faked that evaluation report?” Caelan was astonished.

“Is it not fake?” Suddenly a cold female voice came from the door. Everyone looked at the door, freezing in their places when they saw who it was.

The people who came were Lucille and Reggie.

At this moment, Lucille’s face was twisted with pain. Reggie was holding her around the waist. She looked very thin, almost as if she would to blow away with a gush of wind. But her gaze was still strong and her eyes shone brightly. As soon as she entered through the door and looked at everyone, her gaze was no longer gloomy and confused.

“Lucille?” Caelan paused for a moment, “Lucy, are you really okay now?”

Caelan was completely shocked. He almost couldn’t help but cry, hardly believing it was real.

Reggie brought Lucille to him and said, “Yes, she is okay now! It is not genetic. As long as there is love and she can feel it, she can absolutely become better! Both sisters have been insecure since they were young, so they became somewhat extreme.”

“As long as she is fine now!” Caelan looked away, “It’s my fault! I didn’t take care of them properly!”

Mrs. Mclean was also a little excited, “Lucy, are you really okay now?”

Lucille nodded at her and held her hand, “Mrs. Mclean, I am completely fine.”

“It is true! You recognized me! Caelan, look, Lucy recognized me!” Mrs. Mclean suddenly burst into tears, “It’s so great, you are all better now!”

Lucille let go of her, looking at everyone one by one. First, she looked at William vaguely for a moment and then smiled slightly, “Will, we meet again!”

“Lucille, I knew you will get better.” William too looked at her blankly for a moment. He let out a long sigh of relief inwardly, as if finally letting go of a huge burden.

Lucille nodded and didn’t say anything else to him. She looked at Liam, then smiled and walked towards him, “Liam, long time no see! How are you?”

Liam stood there pleasantly surprised, and replied, “Lucille, you are okay now! That’s great! You recognized me too! I am so happy for you.”

Lucille reached out and hugged Liam, “Liam, thank you! You helped me hire Jesse as my doctor, right?” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“You knew?” Liam hugged her back emotionally, “You are really fine now. Yeah, I hired Jesse, but of course, William paid the fees!”

Reggie stepped forward, looking polite and gentle. The initial coldness of his expressions nowhere to be found, only calmness remained. He said to William, “I will pay you the money!”

“No!” William shook his head, “I did what I should have!”

After all, he owed Lucille too much.

Even though Lucille hugged Liam, she didn’t hug William. She said to him, “Reggie told me what happened today. I know what Darcy has done. Please convey my apology to Sherry. I hope you both live happily together.”

“Thank you!” William nodded. He hadn’t expected to receive Lucille’s blessing. He was really moved.

She walked over and hugged Reggie, “Without you, my life would have been in chaos. Thank you, Reggie. Thank you so much!”

Reggie hugged her, “Lucille, don’t think about it anymore, look towards the future!”

She hummed in response and nodded in his arms.

They hugged each other and both William and Liam looked at them with red eyes.

Everyone hoped for Lucille’s happiness! She had lost so much in life, now that she was healed, and Reggie was with her, everything was fine!

After a while, Lucille lifted her head from Reggie’s embrace and turned around. She turned her gaze to William and said quietly, “Will, I feel like I had a very strange dream or perhaps I slept for too long and woke up just now. Everything that happened before, if I did anything wrong, please forget it. I will take Darcy away with me. We will go to France with Reggie. Please, give her a chance!”
