A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 39: Sherry Had an Accident

Sarah's words startled all three of them. Sherry's face instantly flushed, and she tried to explain right away, "Ms. Brooks, you misunderstood. I'm just the Secretary of Mr. Rowland!"

Sherry was so eager to stay away from William, which made him put displeasure on his face.

But Sarah caught the expression on his face, so he mocked her. "Don't gossip, Sarah. Haven't you noticed that Sherry was embarrassed?”

“I'm doing to the bathroom!” Sherry stood up as a way to get rid of his joke.

To her surprise, she slipped and almost fell down.

“Watch out!” Liam immediately grabbed her waist. “Sherry, be careful!"

“Mr. Brooks, thank you.’ Sherry looked right in Liam's eyes when she looked back express gratitude, and Liam even winked on purpose. They stared at each other at a such short distance, however complex light flashed through Liam's eyes. Sherry looked dazzling tonight.

Sarah was stunned to see the glimmer in Liam's eyes, and she couldn't help herself clutching both fists.

Had Liam fallen in love?

“Sherry, wearing high-heels is really torture for you!" Liam noted her discomfort from the beginning.

As Sherry got more embarrassed, her cheeks started to spoil. She could even hear her won heart racing. “Yes, I'm not used to it!"

William's sharp eyes lingered between them. Liam hadn't let go of Sherry's waist. William stared at them quietly with some unhappy emotions showing in his eyes.

Sarah followed the direction that William was looking at, and saw that Liam hand was still on Sherry's waist. She burst out laughing, “Liam, let go of Sherry before William kills you!"

Liam finally came back to himself. "Sorry!"

Liam anxiously glanced at William who was sitting beside him. His face had already turned down. Sherry still said with a smile, “It's ok”

Sherry looked at William for one second as if nothing happened. When she bumped into his dangerous eyes, Sherry's heart picked up the pace again.

"Well! Ms. Murray, Mr. Brooks is so concerned about you, you should really thank him!" You couldn't tell if he was smiling or not. William's sight moved slowly from Sherry's face to Liam's face. No one could figure out the meaning behind his deep voice.

Liam smiled, then stood up and looked at Sherry with concern, "William, I do care about Sherry! Just now Sarah said, Sherry is like our family. So, I'll just be a good man. Sherry, in order to keep you from slipping again, I'll take you to the bathroom!"

Sarah was shocked for a while and burst into laughter. “Go ahead, Liam! I like Sherry. If she’s not William's girlfriend, she should be my sister-in-law!”

“No! I'll go myself” Sherry's face was even redder. The Brooks were really creating some drama. They made jokes again and again. "I'm going to the women's restroom, Mr. Brooks, you'd better stay out!”

"What?" Liam frowned and wiped his nose. He was a bit confused.

Sherry immediately left. If she stayed there for one more second, she would go crazy.

Watching her running away, Liam mumbled, “Yes, it's not appropriate for me to go there! But what I meant was to take you there!”

Right at this moment, William suddenly stood up. He stared at Liam, and suddenly felt that Liam was kinda a bummer in his business trip.

William pulled up the corner of his lips and spit out a few words, "Stay away from her!"

Sarah burst out laughing and said, "This is hilarious”

It was the first time that she saw William being so domineering over women.

“Why? She's not your girlfriend." Liam continued his joke.

'Shut up!" William narrowed his eyes and looked at the man who was laughing uncontrollably. "Mr. Park is here. Go finish the unfinished work today"

“All right” Liam felt that there was no need to joke again, so he left. He turned around and looked at the direction of the toilet, feeling a bit disappointed.

Sarah looked at the back of Liam, and her brilliant smile faded, “William, do you like Sherry?”

William raised his eyebrows.

“Go get her if you like her’ Sarah put on the same smile again.

“Sarah, why don't you go back after graduation?" William redirected the subject.

Sarah's eyes swam in the party, but inadvertently fell on a guy with nice suits and beautiful eyes, "What for?”

William follow her eye's and frowned, “Sarah, he’s your brother!"

"Not biologically” Sarah pouted her mouth and mumbled.

Did Sarah like Liam?

The hall was full of toasts. All the employees at the branch company who participated in the party cast a puzzled look at William's plus one. When did the president change his girlfriend? They always remembered the enchanting woman the president brought three years ago. It was said that the woman was his fiancée.

And then there was rumor that they broke up.

For the last three years, he didn't bring anyone. This time, he took a new girl with him, a girl that was so innocent that no one could move their eyes once they looked at her. Did it mean that there would be a new Mrs. Rowland?

Sherry hated being watched as if she were some kind of animal in the zoo. People were staring at her since she got out of the bathroom.

She was a low-key woman, so she felt weird being exposed under the spotlight.

As soon as she entered the hall, she saw William standing in the middle of a crowd. His eyes were shining and he was glowing.

On the other side of the hallway, Liam was smoking. It was the first time Sherry saw him do that.

"Sherry?" Liam looked up, and it was Sherry. He immediately smiled, "Why aren't you in there?"

Liam stamped out the cigarette on the ground. He didn't like to let people smoke second-hand cigarettes.

“You're not in there either” Liam seemed to be very irritated and tired, and the ground covered in cigarette butts. The whole corridor was full of smoke. “Are you tired?”

Liam smiled. He looked at Sherry, blinking. "Of course not. How can I be tired?”

Sherry nodded because everyone had their own difficulties, she understood. But she saw Liam was standing alone in the

corridor smoking, not like his usual himself. She should have known from the beginning that he was hiding all his emotions behind his smile.

She turned her head and looked into the sky outside the corridor. The neon lights were flashing. In a foreign country, she wondered how Dan was doing at school back home.

“Let's get in!" Liam laughed.

“Okay” The two entered the hall. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Although Sherry had no idea what happened, she could tell Liam was tired and a bit distracted.

William watched them walking in together. His face was frightful, and his eyes fixed on Sherry's face. Damn, woman, he

couldn't find her just now. Here she was, with Liam.

Sherry had no idea where did Sarah go. And a woman was walking towards them. Liam was obviously searching for something in the party, for he didn't notice the woman coming across.

Sherry saw her eyes was filled with hatred. Then she noted something shining she hid behind her handbag. It was a dagger!

No!

"Watch out!” Sherry instinctively pushed Liam away.

Before Liam realized anything, Sherry had been stabbed in the arm by the dagger.

The woman was aiming at Liam.

"Sherry!" Liam yelled. He was so shocked that he quickly kicked the woman out for almost a meter. He saw blood flowing out, and Sherry's face instantly became pale.

William was far away. When he could do anything, Sherry had already squatted on the ground.

How painful!

At this time, the woman stood up and stared angrily at Sherry. If it hadn't for this woman, she would have stabbed Liam to death!

"Be careful!” Sherry saw the woman rushing over again.

Liam once again kicked the woman to the ground. The guests at the banquet gasped. How could anyone commit murder at the dinner party?

The blood on the arm of Sherry made Liam scream in a low voice. He immediately grabbed her.

“Sherry! William ran to her and saw blood running out of her arm. His fury roar made all the people on the scene shiver for a moment.

Sherry's pale face was covered with sweat. The cold sweat flowed down her cheek and moistened the hair on her forehead.

Seeing William staring at herself in shock, she felt dizzy and murmured in a low voice. “It hurts!"

“How dare you, how dare you...” William was so angry that he could not speak. Wearing his ferocious cold face, William quickly grabbed her other hand, "Let's go to the hospital now

The security had controlled the murderer.

Liam was also shocked! He had never felt such gratitude before. Why Sherry risked his life to save him?

“I'm fine!” Sherry finished her sentence, then fainted. Her body fell into William's arms.

“Liam, hurry, the hospital!" William looked cold and indifferent. He embraced the tiny figure who fainted in his arms. Then his

eyes turned to that woman, “Turn her in to the police?”

On the way, William hugged Sherry, but his face was still emotionless.

On the patient's bed, Sherry was still in a coma her face looked pale and lifeless.

You could see displeasure in his eyes. Damned woman, at such a dangerous moment, she went to defend Liam regardless of

her own life in such a short time.

The wound ran through her shoulder had been stitched up by the doctor.

“Doctor, why hasn't she woken up yet?” William confronted the doctor angrily.

"Sir, this young lady has been suffering from malnutrition for a long time and has been seriously injured, so her body can't recover so quickly. Don't worry. She will wake up soon”

"She's malnourished?” William was stunned, his eyes fell on the face of Sherry. "No wonder she is so thin!”

It was the first time that Liam saw William so angry. Even that thing didn't make him so furious years ago.

He was angry. But why?

He and Sherry? Liam sighed, he was shocked that Sherry saved him like that. He felt guilty, which messed up his mood.

For the first time, William showed real anger rather than the unpredictable and cold facial expression before. It was blatant

fury. His eyes were widened because of his rage, and he was staring at the sleeping Sherry. It seemed that he wanted to strangle her.
