A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 116 A Wail

“Mr. Rowland, every mother misses her child. I do miss Sammy, really do. Even so, will you let him go back? If you will, I don’t care whether Sammy is the heir of The Rowland Group; I can raise him by myself. But is it fair to him? Just let him see the fight between mommy and daddy? It will hurt him to the core. So, I have to make such a terrible decision! Yes, I am encouraging myself to leave my son. But it doesn’t mean I am heartless one perfect to The Rowland Group. I am not so cruel as you who can make a deal with your grandson!”

She had to make such a decision!

Many parents who got divorced had a fight to keep the child with them; they did not realize it hurt the child too much. Finally, Sherry had to give up Sammy to make it not so tough for William to raise him. Even if Lucille was lucky enough to become a step-mother, Sammy might not hate her.

One of them had to suffer from the pain to get a solution to the problem. Sherry was willing to be the one.

John was surprised and said angrily, “I have never seen a heartless mother like you.”

“Mr. Rowland, you ruin your son’s marriage to make him happier. I know you love him, but you did in a wrong way. That’s why William is so miserable at home. He would not like to annoy you, not marrying Lucille; at last he got that accident. I believe William loves you, because he always keeps in mind that his mommy died for giving birth to him. He remembers it. Mr. Rowland, it has been thirty years; William suffers from it no less than you.”

“I just think he has a hard time for having you as his father. He hated to see you are unhappy, so he did not marry Lucille and just had a child with me whom he did not love at all at that time. Now Lucille is sick; William does not mind what happened before and is always filled with remorse. I am touched by

how deeply sorry he felt to Lucille. William is precious in the world. Mr. Rowland, please put yourself in his position. He is trying his best to make you happy. Don’t hurt him anymore. Ok, Mr. Rowland, I finish now. Bye-bye.”

John got startled and asked, “Will you really give up Sammy?” He did not expect Sherry to make the decision. Sherry was more excellent than he thought, determined and not compromised; she was more confident than she should be at her age.

“I never give up. But I have to let him go for his better life in the future. Mr. Rowland, you are Sammy’s grandpa. I believe you will be nice to him!” Sherry turned around to control her sadness.

This was her final decision!

Sherry walked away with much tears off her eyes.

Keegan parked his car and saw a familiar one coming out of the tea shop. The lady’s name occurred to him, “Sherry?”

Sherry ignored him; she was crying without seeing anything and almost fell down by accident.

Keegan came to hold her. But she did not look up at him, just saying, “Thank you!”

Then Sherry walked on with wiping her tears and cried more.

She got to the quiet sidewalk to squat down and started to wail. She tried to give vent to all the heartbreak at that moment, so she was crying out to be exhausted.

After all, Sherry wiped her tears and left. In the crowd, many people seeing Sherry should think she just broke up with her boyfriend.

Keegan followed her all the way. Sherry had a seat on the chair of a bus stop and cried for long time. He stood seeing her cry instead of interrupting her.

He did not know what happened. In his memory, Sherry always smiled. He had never seen her crying like this.

She appeared to be so heartbroken, miserable and suffering. Just then, she seemed to be leaving the most part of her life.

After a while on the chair, Sherry stood up and saw Keegan who was beside her and looking at her with a shock.

Sherry was also stunned, “Keegan, you are here.”

It killed Keegan to see Sherry crying out. Why did she feel so desperate?

In the MH residence, when just coming back, William saw Lucille curl herself up on the sofa and crying with hands on her head. She was trembling and mumbling, “Where is Will? I can’t find him…”

William remembered many years ago in T University, Lucille was standing at the door of classroom in a white dress with long soft hair over the shoulders; many students were attracted by her.

She ignored all the others admirers, just walking to him with a smile. Finally, she looked at him with beautiful dimples on her face.

When they were young in the university, William was a talented student in the Department of Finance who was so proud and distant; Lucille was the most beautiful girl in the Department of Design. They fell in love with each other, envied by many students there.

How long ago it was?

He loved Lucille too much before. But how did she change to be the one in his front?

She curled up herself on the sofa and seemed to be helpless as well as fearful. William hated to see what she was like then. He started to understand Sherry’s decision; Sherry was correct. Before he got a better solution, he could not be so selfish to ask her to take such a task with him.

Loving someone had to be suffering or selfish?

No!

How could he allow an innocent woman to pay back his debt to another woman?

But how would he keep sane in the aspect? He lost his mind to love Sherry.

Darcy was out from the toilet with a wet towel in her hand; she was cleaning Lucille’s face and saw William who was looking at Lucille with anxiety by the door.

She talked with William, “Lucille woke up without seeing you here and kept crying. I tried to say something to make her feel better. No use! William, I would like to ask, do you still love her?”

William was still thinking about the past and watching Lucille. She had been treated for one month; she still got messy hair as well as the thin face which was even smaller than his hand.

But then she opened her eyes wide.

On the small face, only her big eyes without any emotion were outstanding. Lucille just said to herself, “Will is gone; he is gone…”

She repeated these words which made William feel too terrible. William could not believe Lucille changed so much. He felt sorry to her; he owed much to her!

Lucille would be able to have her baby if she did not get the car accident. She might not be like this.

Lucille had ever been a charming and confident girl who obsessed lots of boys in T University. As to her then in his sight, she kept calling his name in unconsciousness. She still loved him!

If she did not love him, why did she got another boyfriend soon after knowing he fell in love with another woman? Lucille should be badly mad at him before!

Darcy called him, “William?”

William’s memory was back and asked, “Darcy, sorry?”

Darcy raised her head after thinking for a while, “Do you still love Lucille?”

Loving Lucille?

What to answer her?

If he did not meet Sherry… Sherry, the last name he would like to remember.

With a mess in his mind, William could not think over. He was suffering from the sorrow and tried to avoid Darcy’s eye look, “I hope she will be better soon.”

Darcy continued to ask, “What if she will not be better all her life?”

William took a deep breath, “I will help her on her wellness.”

Darcy said frankly, “You don’t love her anymore!”

William turned around slightly, “Yes. We will not go back to the past. I can delude the others, but I failed to do it to myself. I can pretend, but I know my mind!”

“Will… Will, are you home?” Lucille heard William’s voice and looked up at him. She saw he was in the living room and gave a lovely smile; she held her dress and said, “Oh, changing my dress…dress.”

Darcy walked to Lucille and yelled with a worry, “Hey, Lucille, wake up! He doesn’t love you now!”

“No! You are talking bullshit! Will loves me; he always loves me! He said I am the only one to him!” Lucille stared at Darcy.

Darcy held Lucille’s shoulders hard to shake her back to the real world, “Lucille, no! He is far from loving you! Please get real! He is not the one worth your love! No!”

Suddenly, Lucille pushed Darcy away to the ground. She said, “Fuck off! Who are you? You are talking rubbish! Will loves me. He is nice to me! You must envy me. Sure, you envy me!”

William had a frown following a deep breath. He got to know Lucille still loves him deeply but she was greatly disappointed in him, so she…

Just that moment, he almost shouted at her, “Lucy, I don’t deserve your love!”

Finally, William did not do anything.

Darcy said, “Lucille, wake up! You suffer too much for him. Do you forget how many check-ups you had just to have a baby with him? Do you forget it? He left you due to your infertility! Lucille, get up! I’m Darcy. We are going home together. “

Lucille held herself tightly with hands; she was too emotional right then, just screaming with a fear, “Oh, no! Fuck off!”

William could not see her like this anymore and rushed to her to kneel down on a blanket in front of the sofa. He said, “Lucille, don’t scare! I’m here.”

Lucille mumble with fright, “Will…Will…She is a creep.”

Darcy looked at the scaring Lucille, soon she realized she was wrong to talk about it. She said, “I’m sorry, Lucille. I am really sorry.”

It was her fault to say the mean words to Lucille who was still sick.

The trembling Lucille huddled up and looked some of nervous with hearing Darcy’s apology. She held William’s hands hard and William looked at her hands which were not good looking but just thin with many burnt scars.

William lost his mind and yelled, “Lucy!”

Darcy calmed down and said to Lucille, “Don’t worry. William is here. He will not leave you alone.” Then she passed a towel to William, “Please help her get clean. Crying too much is not good to her.”

“Lucy, look at me.” William got the towel and said gently.

Lucille shook her head with lowering it, “No, no…”
