A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 178 Midnight Scare

Sherry giggled gleefully and found herself sinking into his deep dark eyes. She was deeply captivated by those deep and profound eyes. Suddenly she blushed red and quickly ran downstairs as he pondered deeply.

…

The glass door of the shower cubicle opened and William wrapped his lower body with a towel. He proceeded to walk downstairs as he dried his hair with another towel.

Sherry was busy in the kitchen and she could not make porridge as it was already rather late. She made a bowl of soup with egg and then cooked two simple dishes.

She looked back and saw William leaning against the door. The towel was around his waist and revealed his sturdy upper body. His muscles were very well defined and he looked like a model. She started to blush and asked, “Why don’t you put on some clothes?”

His handsome eyebrows started to frown and he walked over to her. He grabbed her into his embrace. Sherry couldn’t dodge in time and quickly turned off the stove. He started to kiss her voraciously until she could no longer continue and begged him to stop, “Release me, the soup is ready.”

William released her after feeling very satisfied and the gloom of the day immediately dissipated.

As she served the soup, she hastened him, “Put on some clothes so that you don’t catch a cold!”

He followed her to the dining table, “No need to, otherwise, I’ll still have to take them off afterward.”

“You…” She frowned and her cheeks were burning hot, “Go!”

He pinched her cheek and relented, “Okay, missus.”

“Who’s your missus?” She mumbled coyly which made his heart long even more for her.

He quickly planted a kiss on her lips and went upstairs to put on some clothes.

She looked at his body and her face continued to blush. After she placed the dishes on the table, she walked to the large window and looked outside into the dark night.

“Dad, are you seeing this from the heavens? I’m sorry, but your daughter loves him. Your daughter will be blissful, Dad, I love you, always!” Sherry said in her heart as she held her hands together and closed her eyes. She hoped that William and she would be blissful for the rest of their lives.

When she opened her eyes, she suddenly saw a person standing outside! The person outside was looking directly at her with a zombie-like expression!

“Ah…” Sherry screamed in fear and jumped backward. Who did she see?

That was Lucille!

“What happened?” William dashed quickly down as soon as he heard Sherry’s scream. He saw Sherry standing at the large window, shivering and holding onto her chest as her heart pounded.

Sherry said nervously, “It’s, it’s Lucille. Why… why is she outside?”

William was also shocked when he saw that it was Lucille standing outside. Her hair was hanging straight down as she stood quietly looking like a ghost in the dark night.

“Why is she here?” William was shocked as well.

Sherry grabbed William’s hand tightly as she looked at the clock. It was already three in the morning. Why would Lucille turn up here? Her heart was pounding as she asked, “What are we going to do?”

The person outside suddenly moved and smiled.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Sherry shivered as a chill ran down her spine. She grabbed tightly onto William’s hand and asked, “William, why is she here? Is that her? I’m scared!”

Lucille found their place and stood there in the middle of the night. Had she gone insane? How could she find them? William’s expression darkened as he was alarmed that Lucille knew this place. He had never told her about this place. How did she find out?

“Don’t fear. I’ll let her in and then I’ll contact Darcy for her to come and get Lucille.”

It looked like that was the only thing that they could do. But William’s expression had turned blue with anger. He had guessed that it was Darcy who was the culprit for the letter and now it must also be Darcy who was also behind this!

“Okay!” Sherry nodded. It was three in the morning and they should let her in first. William opened the door and walked towards Lucille. He looked around and there wasn’t anyone else. How did she come?

“Lucille!” He shouted.

Lucille suddenly turned stiffly and smiled. She wasn’t as terrifying as Sherry saw her just now. She looked at William with her eyes wide open and then smiled, “Will, I’ve finally found you!”

William was stunned and shocked, “You, you can recognize me now?”

Sherry was surprised and looked at Lucille. Lucille smiled radiantly, “Will, I’ve recovered! I’ve recovered completely! I can recognize that you are William!”

William was shocked, “What did you say?”

“I’ve recovered!” She said again like a person who just woke up from a long sleep. Her eyes were wide open as she declared, “I’ve recovered from my sickness! Will!”

William was even more shocked, “Lucille, how did you get here?”

Sherry was doubtful and had a feeling which was … terror! She felt like it was a midnight scare that Lucille had recovered within a night! But looking at her current state, she wasn’t sure if she believed that she had truly recovered.

At this moment, Lucille looked like a healthy person who descended from the sky and just appeared outside the villa.

She was terrified. Could someone recover from such a sickness? How could she recover so quickly after only a few days? A string of questions emerged from Sherry’s heart as she felt her hairs stand on end.

As the three of them walked into the villa. Lucille kept holding onto William’s hand. He then pulled off her hand and then reached out to hold Sherry.

Sherry was surprised that William did not forget that Sherry was present when Lucille appeared this time. He turned to comfort Sherry and said softly, “I’ll call Darcy immediately for her to come for Lucille.”

“She really looked like she recovered!” Sherry said softly with surprise, “She really looked fine now!”

“We can’t know for sure. I’ll get the phone first!” he said as he was about to head upstairs.

“Will, where are you going?” Lucille grabbed his hand again.

William pulled off her hand again, “I’m going to get my phone! Lucille, just wait for a moment.”

“Oh!” Lucille nodded. From the moment she appeared, she didn’t look at Sherry at all. This made Sherry wonder if she actually had recovered. Previously she didn’t recognize William so how come she could remember him now?”

Lucille’s eyes continued to follow William’s back view as he went upstairs. This made Sherry very unsettled. What would happen if Lucille continued to pester William?

…

After William went upstairs, Lucille suddenly turned to look at Sherry. Her stare shot daggers which startled Sherry.

“Are you Sherry?” Lucille raised her eyebrows.

Sherry was startled by how aggressive Lucille looked and she asked, “Ms. Mclean, don’t you recognize me?”

Lucille stared at her scarily without blinking. Then Lucille suddenly laughed which caused Sherry’s hair to stand on ends. Lucile then said, “I recognize you, of course, I recognize you. You gave birth a child for Will!”

“Oh!” Sherry felt a chill and asked, “You remembered that? You’re really well now?”

Lucille moved closer to Sherry and Sherry instinctively stepped backward. She didn’t know why she was scared of Lucille but her heart was pounding.

Lucille paused and then stared directly at her and asked, “Are you scared of me?”

“No! No!” Sherry shook her head. She only felt strange. She was afraid of hurting Lucille if she said that she was scared of her. After all, her mental state was not normal and she didn’t want to agitate her. She only wished that Lucille would get better soon.

Lucille looked at her and took a step closer. She sounded ghastly, “Where’s the baby you gave birth to? Is it dead?”

Her breath touched Sherry’s face which caused Sherry to shiver as she replied, “Ms. Mclean, how could you say that?”

Her kids were very well and alive. She suspected if Lucille had really recovered. How could a normal person say that about other kids?

“They’re not dead?” Lucille laughed and then sat on the sofa while she looked puzzled, “Oh! That means that my baby is dead! My baby had gone to heaven!”

Sherry did not understand and was stunned. Her baby? Didn’t she refuse to give birth? Oh lord, what’s going on?

This moment, William was on the phone as he walked down the stairs, “Darcy, Lucille is at my place. Please come to take her away!”

“What did you say? My sister is missing again?” Darcy asked coldly, “How do I know when my sister went out? How could I let her go out alone? She had recovered significantly but why would I risk it by letting her go out? William, what are you implying?”

“Darcy, you sisters don’t have to fool around with me. You must be the person who sent Sherry the letter!” William scoffed and he grinned with his thin lips, “It doesn’t mean that I don’t know if I didn’t pursue the issue. Darcy, don’t be so extreme.”

“What letter? I don’t know anything about it!” Darcy refused to admit and asked, “Where is my sister? Please send her back. I’m currently outside and can’t go over!”

William said again, “Okay, I’ll send her back! I will never allow anyone to harm my loved ones. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Darcy broke out in cold sweat on the other end.

William was extremely angry as he hung up the call.

Sherry looked at William as he walked steadily down the stairs. His tall frame and strong body exuded an overbearing presence which caused her to feel stifled. She couldn’t help but began to worry as she heard him saying that the letter was sent by Darcy.

Her heart skipped a beat as if she had realized something. So, Darcy wanted her to have a misunderstanding with William so that she would leave William. She was so foolish that she almost fell for that trick!

Thank goodness for what her father said to bring her back to her senses. Otherwise, she might have missed out on William.

William made a call to Peter, “Come to No. 15 villa and help me to send Lucille home!”

After William hung up the call, he walked over to the sofa and attended to Sherry so that she would not be worried. But Sherry couldn’t help it and look worriedly at Lucille. She felt that Lucille had not recovered.

“Will! Did you make the calls to make me leave?” Lucille suddenly said.

William walked to Sherry, held her hand, and said to Lucille, “It’s very late, you should go home now.”

“Will, I’ve recovered!” Lucille said again.
