A Moment in Destiny

But how could William not worry, he saw her sitting on the couch in the study room, staring outside the window. This was already night time.

Sherry's face was quite pale, her lips showed a little smile which looked sad.

She would never forget that she left her and her brother, she would never forget that she allowed Payne to hold a gun at her head for Ashley, she really was the best step mother in the world, but she couldn't understand why she would do that to herself.

William went inside, but he didn't come closer to her, instead, he just looked at her from afar. She was still frowning, her worries were written on her forehead.

The night swallowed her sadness, her pretty face showed no tears, but she still looked so pitiful, it was a picture that would make any man want to protect her.

William knew what she was feeling in that moment, Sierra was her mother, that was so shocking that he could barely believe it, he couldn't believe that Sierra would allow Payne to treat her like this!

The Jones family was so wealthy, they had the money to help Sherry's brother for his treatment, but Sierra would rather ask her to be a surrogate, he could still remember that she was only 17 years old when it happened, how could she handle all that at such a young age?

William felt horrible guilt when he thought about that night when he mocked her, he thought about the night her brother died, and taking away the baby when it was only born, he felt so much guilt inside...

What had he done?

Sherry went through so much, how could she bare with all that?

What had he done!

Sherry suddenly rolled herself in, her head lowered, the hair fell into her face so that people couldn't see her expression.

William's heart tightened, she looked so small and fragile, the way she rolled herself up.

She didn't cry, and she didn't make any other sounds, it was scary how quiet she was.

After a long time she suddenly sighed, then she looked up again, outside the window into the night sky, it was a very cold winter!

When he saw the sadness in her eyes, he didn't even think about it before he went over to her, then he kneed down beside her and took her into his arms, and said pitiful, "If you want to cry, let it out."

Sherry looked up in panic, her eyes were widened, and she looked confused, her voice was weak as she asked, "William, do you believe that she is my mother?"

William's expression showed pain, "Sherry, don't think about it anymore, you have me, you have Samuel and Daniel!"

Sherry's lost gaze was mixed with pain, but only a second later, she smiled again, looked at William and said, "Some things are in the past, but some things will never be forgotten, this time, I really give up! Tell me, can I just pretend like she's dead?"
