A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 117 Pregnancy

"Why? Let me wipe your face!" William sighed.

"Don't, I'm crying ... William doesn't like women to cry ..." She whispered as helplessly as a child. "Hush, don't let him see!"

How William's heart ache! He almost shed a tear. How on earth was God going to get her back?

We stay together to be happy, and break up to ease the pain. You could no longer make me happy, so I had to leave. When I left, it was painful too. Only, you must have suffered more than I did, because I was the one who said goodbye first. I was the one who sought happiness first! --

Sherry didn't expect to meet Keegan and to have her colleagues at work see her bawling so much. For a while, she was embarrassed.

Her eyes were red and swollen from crying for so long, and she had more nausea in her throat. She even got a little dizzy when she stood up.

Keegan held her up with one hand. He didn't ask her why she was crying, he just said softly, "Where are you going? I'll take you back!"

"I ..." Sherry wobbled, tried to stand still, but didn't expect to get even more dizzy.

"Are you okay?" Seeing her face abnormally white and crying like this, Keegan didn't hesitate to pick her up. "Come on, I'll take you to the hospital!"

Sherry tried to struggle to get down, but she didn't have the strength. She hadn't eaten in the morning, hadn't eaten last night, and had cried so heavily for so long. She had been malnourished for the past month or so, and was now even more weakened.

But being held by Keegan drew sideways glances from passers-by, Sherry was nervous and scared, "Keegan, put me down!" Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"Put you down and then watch you faint?" Keegan whispered with concern. "Alright, the car is in front! I'll take you to the hospital. Are you anemic?"

Regardless of what Sherry said, Keegan carried her directly towards the car by the teahouse.

When they just reached the car, three people came out of the teahouse. The one in the middle was a middle-aged man in a black suit, who looked imposing and cold. He froze slightly when he saw Sherry and Keegan, then revealed a cold smile.

"Miss Murray, I wondered why you didn't say yes, so it turns out you had a choice!" John's low and sarcastic words made Sherry felt as if a knife were piercing her heart.

Keegan didn't pay any attention to John, but pulled open the car door and put Sherry in the passenger seat, helped her to fasten the seat belt, and then closed the car door.

Sherry saw the anger in John's eyes through the car window. Her heart actually fluttered, then she suddenly opened the car door, "Uncle, please send my son, Dan, back!"

Keegan just looked at John and said to Sherry, "Let's go pick up Dan after we see the doctor!"

Sherry shrank back into the car while John's face got worse.

Keegan had come to pick up tea for his adoptive father, but he never expected to meet Sherry. Instead of picking up the tea, he started the car and disappeared right in front of John and his assistant's eyes.

"Riley, call William and inform him that his woman is being taken by another man! They're going to have an affair now!" After saying this in a somber voice, John surprised even himself by saying the word "affair"!

"Master?" Riley was in a quandary. It wasn't clear that Mr. Rowland was in love with her. Master was exaggerating! But Riley still made a call to William.

"Hello! Mr. Rowland, Miss Murray is cheating on you with a tall, indifferent man!" Riley almost hung up the phone straight away sheepishly after saying this. "Mr. Rowland, that's all. Master is calling me!"

After saying that, without waiting for William to say anything, Riley hung up the phone.

William was dumbfounded to receive such a call out of the blue! He hurriedly found Sherry's number and dialed it with trembling hands. But the phone went unanswered.

Sherry was admitted to the hospital and Keegan insisted that the doctor give her a full body check-up.

"Keegan, I'm fine. I'm really fine!" She actually knew what was going on, and she just didn't want anyone to know that she might be pregnant.

But the doctor laughed, "Miss, your boyfriend is worried about you. You'd better have a full body check- up. You look a little weak!"

"Doctor, no ... he's not my boyfriend!" Sherry explained.

Keegan's eyes, however, flickered. He turned his head and said coldly and dominantly, "Doctor, give her a full body checkup!"

"Uh! Sorry, I don't know ..."

The doctor gave a series of prescriptions, but Sherry simply said, "Doctor, check my HCG levels. I think that's the problem!"

The doctor was stunned and froze, "You know so much, miss! You even know the technical terms! How many days have you had your period?"

Sherry froze and glanced back at Keegan. It was really embarrassing for her to have him here. So she said to him, "Keegan, can you go out first?"

Keegan was confused but didn't want to go out.

"Please!" Sherry said again.

"Fine! Call me if you need anything!"

As soon as he left, Sherry immediately said, "It's been 2 weeks. I just remembered that too. I think I might be pregnant!"

"Well, if you are pregnant, morning sickness will show up at exactly forty days! The fetus is too small for an ultrasound right now. How about this, you do a test first. If the test paper shows positive, we'll do a blood test!" The doctor quickly prescribed a test paper.

Sherry took the sheet, paid the money, and collected the test paper. Keegan, however, watched dumbfounded as she walked towards the bathroom. By the time the result came out, Sherry was really dumbfounded!

She was really pregnant!

Then she had another blood test. The HCG level was just right and the doctor ruled out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.

As Sherry stared blankly at the result, Keegan glanced at it as well. It read that the biochemical pregnancy was about six weeks old. (Usually, six weeks of pregnancy in this context means from the first day of the last menstrual period. Usually one will experience nausea and vomiting and other reactions to early pregnancy at 6-8 weeks of pregnancy!

"You're pregnant?" Keegan was dumbfounded!

Could it be the man from last night, William?

Sherry held the test results in her hands stupidly. She really wanted to cry. It might make her feel better to cry. But she couldn't. The feeling of not being able to cry was so hard ...

It seemed that she had too many tears these days. She was once again pregnant with William's baby!

It was the second child that God had given her. She loved children so much, but this one came at a really bad time! But she was going to have it. She was going to have this baby! It was the fruit of their love. She wanted him.

Keegan watched the change in her expression and was a little confused for a moment, "Sherry?"

"Keegan, thank you for sending me here. Can you please help me keep the secret about my pregnancy?" She spoke up and was already plotting to leave the city in the near future.

"Okay!" Keegan was a man who kept his promises and never said much. That was why he was well appreciated by Cohen and was accepted by him as his adopted son. "I won't say anything! You have a baby now, so you have to take care of yourself and rest. You are too weak now. I'll go and ask the doctor what supplements pregnant women can take. Sit here and wait for me!"

William kept calling Sherry, but there was no answer. What was going on? Had they really cheated on him? His heart was in turmoil!

Keegan had gone to ask the doctor for her. Only then did she remember that her phone was on mute at the moment. When she took it out, she found that a string of numbers was flashing. It was a string of numbers that she had deleted but could never forget.

Her heart fluttered and she subconsciously put her hand over her belly. "Baby, it's Daddy. But Mummy can't let him know about you. He's already a mess now! Let's not add to the mess, okay?"

Even though she knew the baby was only the size of a pea now, Sherry was still hopeful. It was another hope for her!

Anyway, having a baby gave her a purpose in life. She needed to be stronger, to be a good mother, and to educate them!

The phone was still flashing. She watched the phone as the lights slowly went out.

There were fifteen missed calls and all from William!

She didn't answer.

William became more anxious and looked again at the trembling woman on the sofa. He was in a dilemma. What should he do?

"You have something?" Darcy asked.

William's eyes flickered, "No, nothing!"

"William ..." At this time, Lucille suddenly spoke up.

William had just wiped her face clean and she looked like getting a bit more stable.

"Lucille, what's wrong?" He asked softly as he called.

On the sixteenth call, Sherry finally answered. But it was William's gentle voice on the other end of the line, not to her, but to another woman!

"Lucille, don't cry. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. Don't cry ..."

Sherry's heart ached. Suddenly, tears came up. Her eyes, soaked in tears, were still so dark and bright.

William, did you call me so I could listen to you speak softly to another woman?

Sherry smiled bitterly and hung up the phone.

And William happened to glance at the phone and noticed that this time there was a record of the call.

Ah! She'd answered it!

Damn, he was just talking to Lucille. She must have heard him!

William suddenly panicked.

Immediately afterward, Sherry called. He looked at the phone with her number flashing and his heart lifted. He immediately ran to the bedroom, closed the door, shutting out everything outside, and shouted urgently, "Sherry, is that you? Is that you?"

A sad smile appeared on Sherry's lips. She said softly, "Sir, I'm sorry, you have the wrong number. Please don't call this number again in the future!"

"Sherry!" William cried sharply. "No! Don't hang up the phone! I just want to know where you are?"

Sherry's lips curled up again. "Sir, please don't call again or I'll file a complaint for harassment!"

"No! Sherry, don't do this!" William's heart ached even more. "Please!"

Sherry felt like she had a fish thorn in her throat, which she couldn't spit out or swallow. The taste was so uncomfortable and painful that she almost choked and felt even her breath ache. "Sir, you've really called the wrong number!"

She spoke with tears streaming down her face!

Damn it! Why were there still tears?

Why was she still crying?

Sherry, why are you so useless?

Are you crying just at the sound of his voice?

William mumbled, "Sherry, I just want to know if you're with a man?"

And at that moment, Keegan was just walking out of the doctor's office with the menu of supplements the doctor had written for him. He called out from a distance. "Sherry, let's go shopping after picking up Dan. I'll make you a soup today ..."

He only got halfway through before he saw her sitting on the lounge chair in tears and holding the phone in her hand. "Sherry, what's wrong with you?"

William's heart lifted when he heard the male voice on the other end, "Sherry, are you really with a man? Is it that man from yesterday?"

He was heart-broken.
