A Moment in Destiny

Reggie walked towards her and sat beside her. He gazed at her pale and colorless skin silently. A struggling pain tangled in him.

“How do you feel?” His voice was hoarse and with the care for her when he spoke. She was the second woman he cared most about in this world.

Sherry was innocent. He didn’t want her to be hurt.

“I have lost my baby, am I right?” Sherry showed a faint smile. Her hand touched on her tummy. Was her baby gone?

It was empty! Everything was empty! Her heart was empty! Her brain was empty! Her baby was gone! The baby took away all her might. She even forgot how sorrow felt.

Reggie tried to speak, but he did not know how to answer her question.

“It’s gone, right?” She asked again. Her gaze was hollow.

“Yes! Gone!” He finally answered.

Silence stroke down at once.

Sherry was surprised that she was still breathing, “My baby is gone. I lost it!”

Reggie sighed, “That was an accident!”

“No! It’s me. It’s me who should be punished. I’m too greedy, wanting more. That was why I lost my baby….If I did not ask for a loyal relationship, this would not have happened.” Yes, it must be because of that. God was punishing her, making her lose her baby!

“The God is punishing me…” Her voice was getting softer as if she was warning herself not to make the same mistake ever again.

Reggie felt pity for her, he sat on the edge of her bed and said gently, “Why is this a punishment? It’s everyone’s wish to own a loyal relationship. Don’t think too much. It was an accident!”

Sherry remained silent, and she spoke again after a while, “Everyone could wish for that, except me. I shouldn’t! Everything is over. Everything is over…”

Bang! The door was pushed open with force. William's forehead was drenched in sweat as he dashed into the ward. He was relieved, and his heart hurt at the same time when he saw the scene in the ward. Sherry was still alive, lying on the bed.

“Sherry…” He felt the pain when he spoke.

Sherry felt like crying when she saw William. Her gazed, which was hollow, was now filled with tears. The tears flow down from her eyes, and she turned her head away.

She didn’t want anyone to see her tears.

Reggie was wise and let out the space for William. He walked aside, and he gazed at William with a complicated look. He wanted to leave, but Sherry stopped him, “Reggie, please ask the others to leave.”

She said lightly with her sobbing voice. Both the men froze.

“Sherry!” William restrained the sadness in him. She called him the others.

“Please leave! I don’t want to see you. I want to be alone!” she said. “I couldn’t face you now!”
