A Moment in Destiny

“This smell belongs to Miss!” Sammy drooped his head in embarrassment, his shiny white teeth biting his bloodied lips which made him looked reserved. He had never spent any time with an unfamiliar adult woman before this!

“The smell on my mother's body is so fragrant. Did you get a whiff of my mother’s bodily smell too?” Dan asked Sammy as if he wanted to suck up to him.

A faint blush appeared on Sammy's cheeks as he continued to stare at Sherry for a long time before finally nodding.

“Does you mum have this kind of fragrant smell on her body?” Dan asked again.

“I don't have a mum!” Sammy's voice became hoarse all of a sudden.

Sherry felt something tugging at her heart as she shifted her gaze towards Sammy. Suddenly, she felt her heart ache pretty hard. Why did this poor kid don't have a mother?

“My dad told me that I am going to have a mum soon!” Sammy raised his face and met Sherry’s pretty features. This adult female was really beautiful! He would feel so lucky if she was his mum!

“Good boy!” Sherry's eyes were slightly reddened at the moment.

Dan stopped saying anything at this point. It turned out that Sammy didn't have a mother, similar to him who didn't have a father. He understood that not everyone had a father, and not everyone had a mother too!

“Miss, you are really beautiful” Sammy confessed earnestly, and as a result his face blushed once again. His huge watery eyes were blinking non-stop as they were fixated on Sherry.

Sherry touched her head while revealing a bitter smile and announced, “It's time for a meal! Dan, help Sammy to get a chair, we are going to eat together!”

“Alright! I'm coming!” Daniel moved a chair over and led Sammy to wash his hands before eating. “Sammy, why did your dad beat you? Is it because you don't have a mother so he is entertaining himself by beating you?”

“I..."

“Don't you want to go home?”

“It's not that!” He just didn't want to go back to a house without a mother. If he had a mother, he would definitely go home without hesitation.

“Your dad is probably worried about you since you are lost now!” Dan started to lecture him, “If I got lost, my mother would also be worried about me, so you have to call your dad after our meal, okay? We are now good friends, so if your dad beats you again in the future, I will ask my mum and Celia to give him a good beating, alright?”

Sammy was slightly worried about what Dan had claimed. What if someone were to teach his dad a lesson for real?

After their meal, Sherry discovered that Sammy was a shy child who didn't like to talk. Whenever he said something, his face would blush. He was really a poor child who never had the love of a mother since he was young. To make things worse, his dad also hit him from time to time. He must have left home because he was feeling too afraid.

Sherry was feeling very sympathetic towards Sammy, she vowed secretly to confront his dad and enlighten him with the grave consequences of beating a child.

As a parent, you are very likely to lose control of yourself due to anger and cause irreversible damage to his body. For example, slapping him would cause his nose to bleed, teeth to break and also his nerves in his ears to be damaged. If you slap his butt, he would have extravasation underneath his skin which might cause him to have kidney failure, and worse comes to worst his spine would be affected which would in turn cause him have brain dysfunction.
