A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 200 How to Accept

“I'm sorry! This all happened because Liam and William are buddies and that child was born at the wrong time!” Peter’s throat felt tight. After a long time, he finally let go his hands which were hugging Lucille, her expression was filled with pain and determination.

“Lucille, you should leave here first! I'll talk to Darcy!” He spoke.

Lucille knew that nothing more could be said! She finally turned around and left as well.

Peter took out his lighter and burned the last few pages of the diary in front of Darcy’s tombstone. Let the truth go up in smoke, he would never give up even if he died! -

The living room of the Rowland family.

When William appeared with Liam and Sarah, he purposely instructed, “Can you guys don’t identify him as you son first? I'm afraid that Sherry won’t be able to bear it in such a short amount of time. If she knows that I lost the child, she will be very upset, Sarah, do you understand?”

Sarah sat in the car with tears streaming down her face, her emotions at this moment were incredibly complicated. She felt both joy as she was about to meet up with her child, and the bitterness of missing her child in all those years. The feeling of relived and anticipation of getting back what was lost before were mixed together, the feeling of nervousness was also there too. How would the child accept her?

Also, what should they do once Sherry knows about this?

When they arrived, Samuel and Sherry were watching TV in the living room, Sherry was watching cartoons with Samuel, while Dan accompanied John to play golf and was not at home.

“Sarah, Liam, you must promise me, it is best for Samuel, he might not able to accept the truth since he is still young, so you must get familiar with him before you can tell him the truth, understand?” William explained once again.

“Will, I understand!” Sarah assured him.

“Sarah, you can't cry! When you cry, Samuel will be scared, he is very introverted!” Liam said, but in his heart, he was already trembling. Samuel was his son, the son he never knew existed!

“Yes! I know!” However, her eyes still went red as she was talking.

As the three people walked into the living room, they saw Samuel was lying on top of Sherry’s legs while watching the “Tom and Jerry” cartoon, giggling, “Mommy, this is so funny, don’t you think that cat is stupid? hahahaha...”

“Yes, the cat is very stupid while the little mouse is so cute!” Sherry stroked his small face and laughed happily too. “Samuel is also very cute! Mommy likes Samuel so much!”

“Samuel also likes mommy!” Samuel was still giggling, he looked very happy.

The three people watching this scene had complicated feelings in their hearts. William’s heart was even more complicated, where was their child? If Samuel was the child of Liam and Sarah, then where was the child of him and Sherry?

The one who was they raised all these years was not his own son, how could he be so careless?

After everything that happened, He finally understood one thing which was about the DNA test. His child must be swapped after the DNA test was done. The DNA test was done to the child he held when the child was born on the first day. He had also seen the doctor took his child’s blood sample with his own eyes and went the blood sample to do the test personally, nothing could go wrong here. It was also confirmed that the child was his own flesh and blood, and his father also had seen the results. However, he did not expect that in the end, the child he had raised was not his.

Perhaps at that time he trusted Darcy too much which caused this kind of result to happen.

He felt ashamed to face Sherry, who was the ally mentioned in Darcy’s dairy?

Liam and Sarah’s feelings at the moment were impossible to express in words.

Liam did not expect that William’s son would be his. Over the years, he would occasionally saw this child. He really liked his cute little face and thought that his face looked familiar. When he saw Samuel again today, he suddenly noticed that Samuel’s face was similar to Sarah’s.

Sherry got a feeling that someone was behind her, and when she turned around and saw them, she was very surprised, “Oh, Liam, Sarah, why are you here? Samuel, get up and say hello!”

Samuel heard her and turned back. He saw Mr. Brooke and Daddy, there was also a pretty aunty beside them. He slid down from the sofa, “Mr. Brooke, you haven't come to see me for a long time!”

“Uh! Samuel...” Liam choked up before the words came out. When he looked at that little face, his heart was full of mixed feelings. The child in front of him was his own flesh and blood.

Oh my God! What did he miss?

“Mr. Brooke?” Samuel had run over, hugging Liam’s leg while raising his little face. “Mr. Brooke, the superhero toy you helped me set up last time had been broken, can Mr. Brooke help me set it up again?"

Liam choked up and could only reply, “Alright! Alright!”

The child did not know what was going on, he was just happily and innocently saying what was in his heart.

Sarah could not hold back any longer. She ran over towards Samuel at once and hugged him. She buried her whole face into Samuel’s arms and hugged him tightly.

Sarah did not dare to cry. So, she kept biting her lips to stop herself from crying. However, her trembling shoulders still gave away her emotions.

Samuel was dumbfounded.

Sherry was puzzled. She turned her head to look at William and saw that his face was unusually pale, even his eyes were filled with some kind of anxiety. Sherry went over and gently tugged William’s arm while feeling puzzled. “William, what happened to Sarah and Liam?”

William snapped back to his senses, seeing Sherry worried look, his guilt deepened and he felt even more sorry for her. He just took Sherry hand. “Sherry, will you go upstairs to the room and wait for me? I have something to say to you!”

“But Liam and Sarah had just arrived here!” Sherry did not understand why he would want her to go upstairs, this did not seem the way of treating guests.

“Be good! I have something to say to you, you should go up first!” William replied.

In the end. Sherry still nodded and listened. However, when she saw that Liam and Sarah seemed to be sad, surprised and remorseful, that kind of expression on their face was really too complicated. Although she did not know why they were like that, she could feel that something was wrong. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Samuel was hugged by Sarah a bit too tightly so he got a little scared for a while and could not help but shout, “Mommy ...”

“Samuel!” As soon as he shouted, Sherry who was going to go upstairs stopped and walked back towards them.

Samuel tried to break away from Sarah with his tiny hands. “Sarah, you're hurting me with your hug!”

Sarah realized what was going on and immediately let go of his hand. Samuel darted towards Sherry’s side and hugged her waist. “Mommy, why is Sarah crying?”

When Sarah realized that she was not hugging Samuel, pain could be seen though her eyes, and her expression looked mournful.

Only then did Sherry see that Sarah’s face was full of tear marks. “What, what's going on?”

A wave of uneasiness surged into Sherry’s heart.

Liam was distressed to see Samuel’s scared look. “Samuel, come over here to my side!”

After Samuel heard and saw that it was Liam who called him, he was no longer afraid. The truth was that he was not afraid of Sarah, it was just that this auntie cried after she hugged him made him felt a bit nervous.

Samuel walked to the front of Liam. As Liam was a man after all, he knew that the child cannot be hurt at this moment. So, he dismissed the uneasiness in his heart and said softly, “Samuel, she was just very happy because she saw you look so handsome and cute, that’s why she was so excited. Don’t be afraid, Samuel, I will bring Sarah to help you to pretend to be a superhero, Ok?”

Samuel turned back and looked at William and Sherry, “Daddy, Mommy, can Samuel go to the toy room with them?”

William walked over to Sherry, held her hand, and said to Samuel. “Go ahead!”

“William...”

“Let's go upstairs!” William interrupted her, exchanged a look with Liam and took Sherry’s hand and went upstairs.

In the room.

“William, what is going on? Why do I feel that there is something wrong with Liam and Sarah? Why was Sarah crying while hugging Samuel? Can you tell me what is going on?”

William felt his feelings were all tangled up into a ball, he felt so sad as if he was about to suffocate. “Sherry… actually Samuel...”

“Did something happen to Samuel?” Sherry lifted her head to look at him.

As their eyes meet with each other, she could see the pain through his eyes. She could also see the sadness in his eyes of wanting to say something but couldn’t.

“William, are you hiding something from me?” She felt her voice was getting a bit shrill.

William shook his head. “Sherry, I am not hiding anything from you, is just that I do not know how to tell you. I felt as if I had wronged you, and it’s all my fault, it’s hard for me to say it out loud.”

However, after hearing what he had said, Sherry just shook her head and laughed. “What's so hard for you to say?”

“Sherry, do you promise to be calm no matter what you hear?” He asked cautiously.

“Did you have an affair?” She asked instead of answering.

William froze. “What makes you think so?”

“Then will you and Lucille get back together?” She asked again.

“Sherry?” William was dumbfounded. “How could I possible do that? I will never have an affair, as long as I am alive, you are the only woman that I ever want!”

“Then that’s about it, is there anything more that I could not bear?” She asked, unable to really think of anything.

“Sherry, I'm telling you, in fact, Samuel may not be our child!” He looked at her and wrenched his hands around her shoulders, worried that she would faint after she heard the news.

Sherry looked at him quietly, and after some time, she shook her head. “This joke is not funny at all, please don't joke with me, okay?”

“Sherry, this is not a joke, it's the truth!” William held her shoulders tightly. “Here's what happened …”

When William had finished telling Sherry about the entire matter, Sherry remained silent. She just felt like something had been taken out from her heart.

If Samuel was not her son ...

She was so shocked that her hands covered her small mouth and her big eyes were filled with tears...

Her body felt like a beautiful butterfly that had lost its wings. She helplessly looked at William with a pale face. She felt her consciousness was drifting further and further away, her heart was violently aching, she wanted to cry, but couldn't.

More and more tears gathered in front of her eyes, and she felt her vision getting blurry.

She looked at him, bit her lip and asked, “Why is this happening? Where is my child? William, I thought the child would at least be happy with his father, even without mommy around you can still give him happiness, but our child is nowhere to be found, what do you want me to do? No, I don't believe this is true, I won’t believe it!”

How could Sherry accept it, how could she believe it?
