A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 201 I know Your Feeling!

“Sherry, we’ll surely get our child back…” Even though he was clueless himself, he was never a person to be beaten by hardships. He believed everything would be all right. “I’ll get someone to come get some blood samples! Sherry, don’t show your emotions in front of Sammy no matter what, okay? He’s still a child, let’s not hurt him before we’re sure what’s going on!”

It was turmoil in Sherry’s head. She could only hear him vaguely and nodded her head instinctively.

William felt bad seeing her like this. “Sherry, did you hear what I said?”

Sherry came back to her senses and looked at William with a distraught expression. “William, what about our child? What should I do?”

Her body went weak and fell after asking that question. She had lost all her strength, as if her soul had been sucked out of her body.

“Sherry!” William hurriedly grabbed her. Looking at her lamented face, he felt exactly the same as she was. He completely resonated with the pain she was feeling! Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

She was so helpless and sad as if a rigged doll. He carried her and put her on the bed gently.

“Sherry…” He was just about to console her when she started crying.

“My child…” She cried out loud. But her words turned into whimper before she could finish her sentence. It was particularly quiet in the room. All that was left were the sounds of her helpless whimper and William’s gasping.

William sighed deeply and looked at Sherry. His gaze was then shifted onto his own hands which were clenched into fists. This was all because of him. Why did he always hurt her? Even though he never meant to, and was never aware, but he hurt her so deeply every single time.

“Sherry, I’ll get our child back!” he said quietly with a firm gaze in his deep-set eyes. He flashed through in his mind everything that had happened, “I’ll find him no matter what!”

Sherry’s heart throbbed at the sound of the almost-whimpering whisper by her ear. She immediately turned around and looked at William, and finally noticed how pale his face was. It was so pale she could see the veins in his face. He must be in pain too!

He must be in great pain too knowing the child he kept by his side for so many years was not his own, and having no clue where his own child was.

How could she have neglected that he was equally grieved too just because she was in grieve herself?

She sat herself up, wiped the tears off her own face and looked at him. She felt guilty. “I’m sorry, William. I was caught up in my own emotions and wasn’t aware of your feelings. I’m sorry…”

He felt even more remorseful hearing her remark. “Sherry, I’ll get our child back! Believe me!”

Sherry started sobbing again. Clenching her hands silently, she looked back at William with her tear- blurred gaze.

She bit her lip and nodded. “I believe in you. We’ll get our child back!”

“Don’t cry, silly girl.” Looking at Sherry crying, he said gravely. He pulled her back into his cuddle and hugged her so tightly as if he would never let go of her. “Thank you for believing in me!”

Sherry hugged him back. “I know you’ll get our child back, William. I believe in you! Because you’re the best!”

So many things had happened in the past few days and she couldn’t be any help to him. Seeing him being so exhausted, her heart throbbed. She shouldn’t just care about her own feelings. They were in this together, they should be there to support and console each other no matter what happened.

“Silly girl.” William sighed while hugging Sherry tightly. He ran his fingers through her silky smooth hair. “I’ll make the call right now to do the confirmation!”

He was moved that Sherry could get it together and stay sane at this moment. He was grateful to have her in his life. This was all he needed!

He made a call to the doctor. He felt what mattered at this moment was to confirm Sammy’s identity, if he was son of Liam and Sarah.

While watching William handled the situation, Sherry was hoping Sammy was her own son while feeling bad for Liam and Sarah. It turned out Sarah had a child too. She might be in a greater pain that she thought her child was dead all these years!

This kind of mental torture was an ordeal to anyone.

She hoped Sammy was their son, but what about her own son? She buried herself in William’s arms and closed her eyes helplessly while tears rolled down her cheeks.

“I should really go to hell.” He gave her so much pain. She had lived five years of life which she would rather not have the child, and now that they finally got together, the child wasn’t even her own!

“No!” Sherry shook her head and put her finger on his lips. “It’s not your fault, William. Let’s go check out Sammy and the others! The doctor is coming, right?”

“Thank you for being rational!” He took her hand, “Let’s go!”

Sherry reached the playroom and saw Sarah sobbing. She wanted to approached her but hesitated. She couldn’t help herself but teared up again.

Sammy was nestling in Liam’s arms, playing with the superman toy he installed for him. Sherry suddenly felt both warm and grievant.

“Sarah!” Sherry called Sarah with a low voice.

Sarah lifted her head and saw Sherry and William. She could tell Sherry already knew the truth from her facial expression. She stood up and walked up to Sherry. “Sherry, I…”

“It’s okay!” Sherry hugged her. “I understand. I know how you’re feeling!”

At this moment, they were the people who understood each other the best. They were both mothers who had lost their child. Only they knew how the other person was feeling!

The doctor arrived.

William summoned for Liam and Sarah. They left the room, leaving Sherry in the room with Sammy.

William said to them, “I asked the doctor to take some blood samples to identify whether Sammy is your child. Once the result is out, no matter what the result is, let’s avoid hurting the child!”

“Will…” Liam nodded while patting Williams shoulder. “We’ll put the child as our first priority. And, thank you! I’ll go give my dad a call.”

Sherry was keeping Sammy’s company. She was having mixed feelings staring at him.

“Mommy, you seem to be crying. Aunt Sarah seemed to be crying too just now. What’s wrong?” Sammy stopped playing with the toys and asked in confusion.

“No, I didn’t cry. It’s just something in my eye.” Sherry hurriedly denied.

Sammy didn’t seem to believe that and looked at her in puzzlement. Sherry looked back at him. She scrutinized his features. His thick brows, big eyes and curled-up lips resembled Sarah a lot. At this moment, she could actually be sure of it even without the DNA test…

“Sammy, later the doctor will come and do a checkup for us. He’ll have to take some blood samples. Will you be scared?” Sherry asked him.

He shook his head. “No! Mommy, I’ll be brave. Please don’t hate me!”

Sherry felt like tearing up, “Why on earth will I hate you?”

Sammy immediately smiled brightly, as if relieved. “I thought you hate me! Luckily that’s not the case! Mommy, let’s go find the doctor!”

To prove his own bravery, he dragged Sherry by the hand towards the door while he was saying that.

At this moment, the doctor was taking Sarah’s blood sample. He used a sharp tool to poke through her finger.

Sarah turned her head to the side to avoid looking at it. Frowning, she tried hard to hold herself back from crying out in pain.

“Don’t be afraid, Aunt Sarah! It doesn’t hurt!” Sammy stood by her side. “I’ll blow away your pain!”

With that said, he leaned over and blew on Sarah’s hand. Sarah was moved. She couldn’t help herself but hugged him. “Thank you, Sammy…”

William walked over stealthily and hugged Sherry from behind. They looked at each other tacitly and didn’t say anything.

Suddenly, the doctor said, “I’ll have to take Sammy’s blood sample too.”

“Are you scared, Sammy?” Sherry walked over and asked him.

“No!” Sammy reached his tiny hand out.

His face went twisted when the doctor was sanitizing his finger. He frowned and turned his head to the side. Everyone was taken aback at his expression. It was exactly the same as Sarah’s just a while ago!

And the truth turned out to be what everyone was expecting!

The test result came out the next day. It was confirmed Sammy was Liam and Sarah’s son.

Even though they had already expected this result, this confirmation did help them put all doubts aside at this moment. William could finally move on and go all out on looking for his own child.

They didn’t tell Sammy about this. They decided to not tell John too, because William was afraid he might not be able to take it. Liam and Sarah could naturally understand that. Sarah was already satisfied that she found her child and knowing her child was living well! Even though she really wanted to take the child with her, she became afraid at the sight of the child’s expression!

She couldn’t be selfish. Looking at Sherry, she could understand how she was feeling. How could she take it now that she confirmed her child was missing?

William made a call to Lucille. After a whole day of pondering, he doubted if Lucille actually knew who that comrade of Darcy was. It was written in that journal! And it seemed to be Lucille’s act that the few pages were torn off. He couldn’t comprehend the motive behind her action. Back then, he was too shocked to be contemplating over the details. At this moment, in retrospection, it was obvious she lied.

It was Reggie who picked up the call. His voice was extremely low, “William, Lucille is missing!”

“What did you say?” He was startled.

“It’s true!” Reggie’s voice was void. “Come over with Sherry. We’ll talk about it when we meet. She left something for you guys.”

William then brought Sherry to meet with Reggie at Seah Restaurant.

After greeting each other, Reggie sat down.

“Why would Lucille go missing?” William couldn’t believe it. “I have things to ask her about. Where did she go?”

“I don’t know!” Reggie shook his head and took out a letter. “This is her letter! It’s for you guys!”

In puzzlement, William and Sherry opened the letter and read the line on it…
