A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 141 Everything is Over

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…” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

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!”

For a moment, the surrounding was in dead silence. William was stunned in a daze. He gazed at Sherry with a lost look on his face, “Sherry, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!”

Her face was drenched with tears, then she said, “William, it was my fault. I am sorry. Our child is gone now. Everything is over! I don’t want to see you anymore. Reggie, ask him to get out!”

“Please leave.” Reggie spoke out. “Her body is weak, and she should not be emotional.”

“What?” William felt as if his brain was exploded with a bomb.

“Get out!” Reggie was stern this time.

William glanced at Sherry, who was on the bed with a complicated look. He had to leave.

Reggie closed the door. He sighed and looked at the woman, who was trembling as she cried.

Outside the ward, William was still trying to understand the situation. He dashed towards the nurse station and asked about Sherry’s condition. He thought she only had an external injury. But when the nurse told him it was “miscarriage due to excessive bleeding”, he was stunned!

So, she was pregnant! Their child. He just knew she was pregnant, and he had lost his child at the same time.

The child must have been conceived when they were in Hokkaido, Japan.

When he recalled about Hokkaido, he did not even take a photo with her. The feeling of regret was like a blade cutting on him.

“You should stop crying!” Reggie walked towards her and sat on the edge of the bed. “Your body is in such condition. Stop crying. Do you hear me? Or I would let the man outside to come in!”

His words were threatening but Sherry kept crying.

Sherry covered her head with the blanket and wept. It could be seen that she was deeply in grief. She wasn’t crying until she saw William. Her grief memory and her anger were recalled. The regret flowing out of her made her lose her speech. She knew that the miscarriage was because of her and not him, but she didn’t want to see him either!

Reggie pulled down the blanket and saw her tearing face and she was biting on the corner of the blanket. Her appearance made him felt pity for her. He wanted to hug her in his arms and caress her like what a big brother would do.

“You should stop crying. You have yet recovered. Sherry, stop crying. Do you hear me?” Reggie held onto her shoulder, “If you want to cry, I’ll lend you my shoulder when you recover. You can cry as much as you want, okay?”

Sherry got up into a sitting position and looked at Reggie with gratitude. She stretched her hands and hugged his neck, approached him, letting her tears flow silently and shutting her eyes in grief. Why did she feel so much pain even she knew it was all over?

“Lend it to me now!” she said.

She felt like crying, very much!

“I’m talking about lending it to you later, not now!” Reggie suddenly felt dampness on his chest. He shook his head. Wasn’t she worried at all that the man outside the ward would be jealous if he saw her hugging him and crying like that?

She cried louder, weeping. Her tears and snots were all on Reggie’s shirt. “I don’t care, I just feel like crying!”

Sigh! Reggie could not say anything looking at her situation at the moment. He could only hug Sherry and tap her back, “Okay, it’s okay. Stop crying, stop crying.”

“I don’t want to cry either, but I can’t stop my tears!” She sniffled and buried her head deeply in Reggie’s chest.

William looked at the scene in front of him in pity as he stood at the door. She was hugging another man and crying but took him as a stranger. She must be extremely disappointed in him.

She said everything was over! No! It was not over! He would not listen to her this time. Not this time!

William was struggling in pain as he watched her weeping in grief. He suppressed the sadness and regrets in him and dialled Alexis’s number, “Alex, help me to investigate the incident that happened today in the HF Alley 300 meters from MH residence!”

After ending the call, he stood at the door, looking at Sherry. She had been crying for a long time. Reggie hugged her and comforted her, while he could not do anything about it.

William could not watch the scene in the ward anymore. He leaned against the wall in the hallway. The feeling of regret and grief could be seen on his handsome face.

The baby was gone!

His daughter! The daughter he was expecting in joy! But what did he do? An alive little life was gone just like that.

Endless sadness grew in his heart, and silence filled him. William covered his face with both his hands and sat on the chair in the hallway. Some water could be seen dripping from between his fingers!

The driver watched from a distance. The Young Master was crying!

It was the first time he saw the Young Master crying. He was lost for a moment. He wasn’t sure if he should tell the Old Master about that.

In the ward.

Reggie felt the trembles and helplessness from the body in his arms. He felt a rush of pity for her for no reason. He subconsciously wrapped his arms around Sherry’s body to give her warmth and the feeling of assurance.

However, he seemed to be also getting some warmth from her. Perhaps, he was also helpless beneath him.

“I’m sorry, Reggie!” Sherry finally came back to sense. She muttered an apology and let go of him, “I wet your shirt! Thank you.”

“Don’t be so polite to me. Haven’t you listened to my story too? Get better soon. Aren’t you curious about my relationship with Lucille? Get better soon, and I’ll tell you about my story!”

She sniffled and nodded, “I’ll get better. I’m Sherry, the undefeatable Sherry!”

Reggie wiped away her tears with his handkerchief and let her lay down, “Take a nap. Don’t think about anything!”

Sherry shook her head, “I can’t fall asleep!”

How would she have the mood to sleep after encountering all of these? “Do you really know Miss Mclean?”

Reggie gave out a long deep sigh and said, “I’m her ex-husband.”

“You’re the sadist?” Sherry noticed that she had blurted out an impolite word after she said that.

“Is that what everyone says about me?” Reggie raised his eyebrows. He felt a little helpless, but he did not admit nor deny it.

All night.

William did not get her permission to enter the ward.

He had waited at the doorway of the ward all the while and had tried a few attempts to enter, but Sherry had asked Reggie to stop him every time.

They seemed to talk about something, then Sherry dozed off.

Reggie walked out of the ward and left the room to William. It was already 3.00 a.m.

When William saw Sherry, who was deep asleep, he felt his emotions surging from beneath him. The pale face made him frown and trembled a little.

The experience just now was as if he had entered the deepest part of Hell. The words were like a hot iron stamp that stamped a mark that was still burning in pain on his skin.

The baby was gone! His heart was aching, but fortunately, she was still alive. Otherwise, how would he live for the rest of his life?

He walked towards her and leaned over, and gently hugged her. How could she be so thin?

She was getting thinner and thinner. Her face was pale and colorless, as if he could see the pale blood capillaries through her skin. His heart ached.

Sherry, who was deep asleep felt something. She felt hot liquid dripping on her neck. Then she smelt a familiar scent, which belonged to William. He was crying.

His tears made her heart ache even more.

She didn’t open her eyes. She kept her eyes closed.

She did not know how to face him.

Blame him? What should she blame him for?

It was all her fault that she was not careful. It was her fault that she did not protect her child. She was sorry! Sherry could only close her eyes and pretend to sleep as her heart pumped in pain.

William hugged her tightly for a long time. His face showed a complicated look, and he tried to stop his tears.

He sat down, gazed at her, and whispered. It seemed like he didn’t realize that she was awake. He just spoke, “It’s good to see you alright. It was my fault. I wasn’t able to protect you. It was my fault. It was my fault… Sherry, it was all because I did not consider much of you, didn’t do much for you. I had let you down. That’s why God is punishing me like this…”

William sobbed. Tears silently rolled down his cheek. What could be seen on his handsome face that moment was only pain and grief, “You should blame me. It was right that you didn’t want to see me! I can’t forgive myself either!”

William felt like crying again.
