A Moment in Destiny

"Because Mr. Brooks brought me a lot of toys! Mommy wanted to thank him, isn't that how you are supposed to treat your guests?" Daniel didn't notice that something was hanging in the air, he raised his gaze to look at William, then he looked at Sherry, "Uncle, don't you like Liam?"

"Daniel, eat!" Sherry wanted him to stop talking, and subconsciously looked at William, even she didn't know why she needed to endure his moods.

William's feeling of stuffiness in his chest was getting stronger, he took the bowl Sherry handed her, and started to shovel it in his mouth, but it was so hot that he frowned. The hot porridge went down his throat, the burning pain stopped on chest level.

"Ahh! It is still hot, are you alright?" Sherry suddenly said, "Are you okay, Mr. Rowland?"

"Uncle, you must be really hungry!" Daniel saw that William was burnt by his porridge, and went to get a cup of cold water, he handed it to William, and said caring, "Uncle, drink some water, it will help."

When William saw how this little child was caring about him, he felt warmth in his heart, this child, if he wasn't Sherry's, how nice that would be. Maybe then he could tell John about him, but as he was looking at those two faces, he knew, John would never allow a woman with another child to marry into the Rowland family! Even if she was Samuel's birth mother!

"Thank you!" William squinted his eyes, and took the cup from Daniel, took a sip, and really, he felt better.

The little boy smiled happily, "You are welcome, uncle!"

Then, he ran to the kitchen and got a spoon, "Uncle, use this, then it won't be as hot!"

William had mixed feelings, he felt that he was too narrow minded when it came to this child. Children were all pure. He told Daniel that he didn't like him, and yet he went to get him water, and a spoon, that left him with mixed feelings.

"Eat!" William patted his head, and showed him a smile.

"Uncle, this one is good!" Daniel pointed to the spicy chicken, his favorite dish.

"No, he cannot eat anything spicy!" Sherry stopped him.

"Why?"

"Why?"

Almost at the same time, two voices were heard. The two pretty faces of a child and an adult were looking at Sherry, and for just a second, Sherry felt like in a trance as she saw the two of them in front of her.

"People who are sick should eat something mild, so you should have your porridge, not the chicken!" Sherry paused, then she explained.

"Then why did you cook this!" William raised his brow, "But now not allow me to eat!"

"This is for me and Daniel, Mr. Rowland, you can have the potatoes, and the tomatoes and eggs."

"Nope!" William took his chopsticks and went to get some chicken, "I want the spicy one!"

"Uncle, I also like to eat spicy!" Daniel said excited, "My mom also likes that! Let me help you!"

As he said so, Daniel already took the plate and handed it over, "Mom, he likes this, didn't you say sick people are allowed to eat what they like?"

"Daniel!" Sherry said, "He is not allowed to have that, it's too spicy, and he hasn't eaten the whole day, it will give him a stomach bug!"
