A Moment in Destiny

“Sherry, we’ll surely get our child back…” Even though he was clueless himself, he was never a person to be beaten by hardships. He believed everything would be all right. “I’ll get someone to come get some blood samples! Sherry, don’t show your emotions in front of Sammy no matter what, okay? He’s still a child, let’s not hurt him before we’re sure what’s going on!”

It was turmoil in Sherry’s head. She could only hear him vaguely and nodded her head instinctively.

William felt bad seeing her like this. “Sherry, did you hear what I said?”

Sherry came back to her senses and looked at William with a distraught expression. “William, what about our child? What should I do?”

Her body went weak and fell after asking that question. She had lost all her strength, as if her soul had been sucked out of her body.

“Sherry!” William hurriedly grabbed her. Looking at her lamented face, he felt exactly the same as she was. He completely resonated with the pain she was feeling!

She was so helpless and sad as if a rigged doll. He carried her and put her on the bed gently.

“Sherry…” He was just about to console her when she started crying.

“My child…” She cried out loud. But her words turned into whimper before she could finish her sentence. It was particularly quiet in the room. All that was left were the sounds of her helpless whimper and William’s gasping.

William sighed deeply and looked at Sherry. His gaze was then shifted onto his own hands which were clenched into fists. This was all because of him. Why did he always hurt her? Even though he never meant to, and was never aware, but he hurt her so deeply every single time.

“Sherry, I’ll get our child back!” he said quietly with a firm gaze in his deep-set eyes. He flashed through in his mind everything that had happened, “I’ll find him no matter what!”

Sherry’s heart throbbed at the sound of the almost-whimpering whisper by her ear. She immediately turned around and looked at William, and finally noticed how pale his face was. It was so pale she could see the veins in his face. He must be in pain too!

He must be in great pain too knowing the child he kept by his side for so many years was not his own, and having no clue where his own child was.

How could she have neglected that he was equally grieved too just because she was in grieve herself?

She sat herself up, wiped the tears off her own face and looked at him. She felt guilty. “I’m sorry, William. I was caught up in my own emotions and wasn’t aware of your feelings. I’m sorry…”

He felt even more remorseful hearing her remark. “Sherry, I’ll get our child back! Believe me!”

Sherry started sobbing again. Clenching her hands silently, she looked back at William with her tear-blurred gaze.

She bit her lip and nodded. “I believe in you. We’ll get our child back!”

“Don’t cry, silly girl.” Looking at Sherry crying, he said gravely. He pulled her back into his cuddle and hugged her so tightly as if he would never let go of her. “Thank you for believing in me!”
