A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 191 Strong Infatuation

William looked at Lucille. She seemed to be really recovered now. She seemed to be level-headed just as when he first met her. Reggie suddenly said, “She has recovered, believe me! Jesse also said she has recovered!”

William’s gaze was filled with complexity. He felt bad for her, since he was the one who did her wrong. But remorse was nothing close to love.

He nodded. “But I have a condition!”

“State it!” Lucille nodded.

“Give her an advanced hypnotization. It’ll be best for her to leave behind the remaining infatuation inside her!”

Lucille shifted her gaze towards Caelan and Mrs. Mclean. “Dad, Mrs.Mclean, what do you think?”

“Lucy, she’s sick! She’s not like you, she’ll hurt someone else! I have to lock her up!” Caelan said gravely. “Perhaps you don’t know, she’d gone nuts and started to hurt people! She hurt our maid just for some petty matter, I’m afraid that…”

Caelan fell onto the sofa and muttered with grievance, “What did we do to deserve this? She fell sick just when you’ve recovered! Yes, the report is a fake, but she’d definitely fall sick if we put her in jail for a few days. Her condition now is just like your mother. Perhaps she will fall ill just in a couple of days, what’s the point of evaluation by then? The result will just be the same! I’m only saying this because there’s just no other way round. Because if she isn’t sick, she’ll have to be wicked to have done the things she did!”

“Let’s perform on her an advanced hypnotization!” William said.

“No! I don’t want that!” Darcy’s voice suddenly came from the second floor. She was standing at the stairway and look at them condescendingly. “I won’t let you guys set me up!”

Darcy’s cold vicious eyes were filled with rage. Under the sleeves of her pajamas hang her clenched fists. She saw Liam, and all her emotions flushed out. “I want to marry Liam!”

“Darcy, don’t be like this!” Lucille was heading upstairs to talk to her when Darcy yelled, “Don’t come near me!”

Lucille was taken aback when she saw a small revolver in Darcy’s hand. “Darcy, don’t!”

All of this came too sudden. Darcy held the gun in her hands, “Lucy. I’ll die if I don’t marry Liam! I’m feeling so sad, why doesn’t he like me?”

She pointed the gun towards herself, “My life has no meaning if he doesn’t like me!”

“Darcy!” Liam called. “Put the gun down. Can you stop?”

Darcy shook her head, “Liam, I’ll make you regret for the rest of your life!”

“No, Darcy, don’t!” Lucille shook her head. Reggie held her from behind to give her support.

“Lucy, don’t you hate William? You can’t have a baby anymore because of him!”

Lucille shook her head, “Let it go, Darcy! I found the person who loves me the most because I left him! And you will too! So listen to me and put the gun down!”

Guilt flooded in William’s heart when he heard this. The accident made her lose their baby and her ability to be a mother!

He was having mixed feelings knowing she didn’t hate him.

“No! Liam, why don’t you want to marry me?” Darcy felt her heart was in such pain as if being pricked. The heartache triggered the eruption of her frantic emotions. Her exquisite features appeared menacing and wild out of rage. She stared at Liam’s tensed face and roared grievingly, “Why do you hate me?”

“Darcy!” Liam didn’t expect she would behave like this. His mind was all over the place. He was most probably responsible that she became like this.

He had been ghosting on her for six years. She came up to his door to pester him many times but he evaded her. He didn’t expect such strong infatuation from her. Guilt filled his heart as he saw the shape she was in at this moment.

“Put the gun down, Darcy! I’ll marry you!” Liam said with mixed emotions, “I won’t go back on my words. Let’s get married with an extravagant wedding, okay?”

“Stop lying to me! You think I don’t know you’re lying to me? You won’t marry me later on! Let me tell you this, Liam, I’ll let nobody get what I can’t have! I’m taking you to hell with me!” Darcy roared hysterically, pointing the gun towards her own temple while looking at Liam with a death stare.

Liam felt pain in his eyes. He didn’t expect Darcy to turn out like this too. “No, it’s not like that, Darcy. Don’t act with such extremism, put the gun down!”

He wouldn’t want Darcy to die or hurt other people no matter what. If she really needed him and needed their marriage that much, he was willing to marry her.

However, a face emerged in his mind as he was making that decision. For some reason, he kept thought of Sarah recently.

“Lucy, Darcy is really sick, she’s really sick!” Caelan moaned. “I knew this was going to happen! See? The report was a fake, but it’s true that she’s sick!”

Lucille shook her head gravely, “Dad, stop giving her subconscious suggestions! She’s not sick, so stop saying that!”

William was startled too. But he couldn’t do much at this moment since Darcy was upstairs holding a gun while they were downstairs.

“Darcy, put the gun down!” William tried to persuade her.

“Shut up, William!” Darcy suddenly pointed the gun towards William. “You would’ve been the first person I kill if it wasn’t for my sister’s sake!”

“Don’t!” Lucille shook her head vigorously in anxiety.

A hint of bitterness flashed Reggie’s eyes as they looked at Lucille’s nervous expression. So she couldn’t get over William after all. She was so nervous just because a gun was being pointed at him.

“Don’t hurt anyone, Darcy. Don’t let our consciences carry the sin for the rest of our lives. Listen to me and put down the gun!” Tears welled up in Lucille’s eyes. “I’m begging you. Put it down!”

“No!” Darcy was frantic. “I won’t let go! I can’t!”

“Darcy!” Liam took a step forward. “Let’s talk, shall we? Just the two of us! Let me go up there and we’ll talk, okay?”

Darcy fell silent for a few moments. Everyone was waiting. She had on her face a weird expression as if contemplating something. Then she suddenly yelled, “Ask Sarah to come here now! Call her and ask her to come here now!”

Liam was taken aback. “This is between us, why do you want to involve her? She knows we’re getting married. Don’t worry, Darcy. She’ll give us her blessings!”

“Ask her come now! Right here right now!” Darcy screamed and loaded the gun. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Liam was shocked. To avoid triggering her, he had no choice but to take out the phone and pray that Sarah wouldn’t pick up the phone. He made the call and it didn’t get through. Liam almost sighed in relieve, “Darcy, Sara didn’t answer the call!”

“Hmph! Make another call!” Darcy pointed the gun at Liam.

William tried to make a move while she was paying attention on him, but she immediately screamed, “William, I’ll shoot right away if you move again!”

“What the hell! What the hell is this!” Caelan moaned in frustration.

Mrs. Mclean was in a daze too. She was cowering as if in shock.

Grieve was all over Lucille’s face. Reggie felt helpless as well.

Liam made another call and it still didn’t go through.

This was the first time William felt he couldn’t do anything. The position Darcy was standing at gave him no choice but be threatened by her like this because he wouldn’t risk anyone’s life.

“Darcy, won’t you even listen to me now?” Lucille’s voice was hollow. She looked at Darcy with an empty gaze, “Didn’t you promise mom that you’ll always listen to me?”

“Don’t do this to me, Lucy. I’ll rather die than to bear all the pain by myself like you do. I won’t! I want to meet Sarah, no matter what it takes!” She wanted Liam to die with her so Sarah couldn’t have him. She would let nobody get what she couldn’t have. She wanted to kill Liam in front of Sarah to make her suffer for the rest of her life.

“Let it go, Darcy. Sarah didn’t do you any wrong, and you had done enough. Don’t you know how suffer she is all these years?” Lucille said blankly.

Liam was startled and confused at Lucille’s words. “What do you mean, Lucy? Why is Sara suffering?”

With a guilty expression, Lucille was cut off by Darcy before she could explain.

“Liam, I know you do have feelings for Sarah!” Darcy squealed, her voice poking through everyone’s eardrums. “All right, I don’t want to meet her anymore! I won’t let you have the chance to see her one last time!”

She didn’t want Sarah to come anymore. She wanted to die alone with Liam.

“Darcy!” Lucille pleaded, “Some love is just not meant to be. Don’t get caught up like me, okay? You won’t get what you want just by forcing it. Be a good girl and put down the gun!”

“No, Lucy! No!” Darcy shook her head. “I know I’m getting sick. I know I’m getting sick soon! I’ll be out of control just like mom did! Don’t force me, Lucy! I’m in pain!”

Liam flinched involuntarily, growing more cautious at this moment. He was surprised at the fact the Darcy might be aware of her own illness. Did she just admit she was sick? Why did she suddenly say that?

Perhaps sensing the confusion from the crowd, Darcy snorted, “You guys say I have mental illness, right? But I don’t! I still recognize all of you! Dad, you always gives us subconscious suggestions that we’ll be mad one day. So be it then. Let me make it a reality!”

“Darcy!” Caelan exclaimed gravely, “Put the gun down! I was wrong! I won’t say that anymore.”

The situation made everyone puzzled. Had she really gone mad?

“Liam, I want to be with you even in hell!” Darcy couldn’t hold back her affection for Liam. She wanted to bring him to death with her even when she couldn’t get him. She wouldn’t let him be together with Sarah. Never!

Liam nodded and fell silent. His pity for Darcy was shown all over his face.
