“My sister cannot give birth anymore because of you, she cannot give birth anymore!” Darcy’s expression turned from shock to anger, with a ferocious expression she said, “You guys betrayed my sister! My sister wouldn’t be in this state if you guys didn’t look for a surrogate mother. She was so beautiful and kind and looked what happen because of you guys!”
William slapped Darcy again. Her face got even more swollen.
She trembled as she caressed her swollen cheek. The expression in her eyes turned from grim to vicious, she howled at William, “You dare hit me again?”
William smiled cynically and glared at Darcy intimidatingly, he said slowly, “I want to kill you! If it wasn’t for the law I will kill you!”
“You…” Darcy took a step backwards. She saw the hatred in William’s eyes and clenched her fist tightly until her nails dug into her palm. Even so, her hatred towards Sherry didn’t go down one bit. If it wasn’t for this bitch, her sister wouldn’t pull something so insane, leaving the country and marrying Reggie .
William wobbled forward and grabbed Darcy’s hair. He took out a swiss knife and pressed it against her neck.
He said frostily like a reaper taking a soul, “Don’t make me do this. I don’t care about the law. You angered me and hence you shall die. I won’t let you off the hook!”
The atmosphere in the quiet room turned frigid. The expression in William’s eyes was ghastly and ruthless, his usual kindness and gentleness were nowhere to be seen.
“You want to kill me?” said Darcy as her voice trembled. She tried her best to breathe properly, but looking at William’s bleak expression, she knew that he wasn’t joking.
“Yes!” said William in an icy and low voice, his speech was emotionless. He then slowly cut her neck with the knife and blood seeped out from the wound, “If I cut deeper, your blood will start gushing out from your aorta. No one will be able to save you in time! Not even the doctors!”
“Just kill me then!” Darcy was tremendously daunted, but she took a deep breath and screeched at William.
But William pushed her away. Darcy fell onto the ground and she felt a sharp pain on her neck. She felt flustered as she wiped her tears away, sobbing quietly.
William turned around and left.
…
At the hospital ward.
Cohen rushed to the hospital, only to see John and Sherry in the room. He and Keegan barged into the room and he yelled worriedly, “Sherry? Where’s Sherry? Where’s my Sherry?”
He was in such a hurry as if someone had died.
Sherry was still sleeping and was awoken by the noise. She opened her eyes and saw Cohen and Keegan. She was surprised, “Mr. Sutton why are you here?”
Cohen’s face blanched. He was nervous seeing Sherry trying to get up on the bed. He quickly went up and said, “Sherry, are you okay? Are you feeling fine?”
Sherry didn’t think that they would come and felt warm inside, “Mr. Sutton I’m fine. Don’t worry!”
Keegan looked worried as well, “What happened?”
Sherry’s eyes dimmed upon hearing the question. It was her fault, if only… Sigh! But life was like that, there was no “if only”.
“Damn it! Keegan, go look into it. Kill the bastard if you need to. Shit, how dare he hurt someone close to me. He’s aching for some beating!” howled Cohen harshly, he was being a bit loud.
“You are Mr. Sutton right?” John looked displeased. This man was Sherry’s boss but wasn’t he caring way too much about her? “This is the hospital’s ward room, you are being a nuisance to the patient by being so loud!”
Cohen turned his head and looked at John. His expression immediately turned stern and he said without hesitation, “Mr. Rowland, what happened? Why did Sherry miscarry her baby? I will definitely not let your son off the hook!”
Sherry’s face turned pale the moment she heard the word miscarriage. John was concerned about her wellbeing and he chided, “Cohen, stop it! Don’t mention it in front of Sherry, can’t you see how much pain she already is in?”
Cohen noticed that Sherry’s face blanched. He quickly said softly to appease Sherry, “Sherry, Cohen tell me what happened, I’ll settle things for you! Damn it, did William make you help him look for Lucille? If Reggie didn’t tell me the truth, I will be still believing in that fake story. Don’t worry, I’ll protect you, nobody can bully you!”
“Godfather,please stop saying that. Reggie said it was an accident!” whispered Keegan. His heart ached as well, seeing Sherry’s pale and blanched face.
“Are you guys here to argue?” John tried to keep his temper in, but he couldn’t stand Cohen anymore.
“Yes! I’m not only here to argue, I actually want to hit you guys!” Cohen hooted furiously. He looked exactly like the thug he was back then when he was younger.
“Mr. Sutton stop it!” Sherry got worried.
Cohen stopped himself after seeing how worried Sherry was. He lowered his voice and said as he pointed to the door, “Let’s go outside! John Rowland, come and tell me about everything outside.”
“Sure, why not!” John snickered. His face was grim.
“I told you it was an accident already. I don’t know why you are not accepting the truth, Cohen. Stop rubbing salt into her wound! You’re just here to mess things up!” said John as he walked out the room. He was agitated.
They walked far away from the room so that Sherry wouldn’t be able to hear their conversation. They started arguing, “Accident? How could I believe that? William obviously failed to protect Sherry.”
“Will didn’t know about this. He only knew about the pregnancy after she miscarried. They were going to get married next month. Shit, who knew that something like this will happen!” John was frustrated. He was upset that he wouldn’t be able to see his grandson.
“It’s still your son’s fault. He didn’t protect Sherry, otherwise, why would he let her meet Lucille? Damn it, Lucille was your son’s old flame. Shit, I knew that that boy William couldn’t keep his hands off his old flame! He will not get close to Sherry ever again, I forbid it! There’s no way I’ll let him bully Sherry like this again!” Cohen put his arms on his waist. He then said provocatively to John, “He can marry Sherry in his dreams!”
“Who are you to not let Will be with Sherry?” John had never seen somebody who was even more unreasonable than him. He was also annoyed at his son for being involved with Lucille, but he was displeased hearing someone else criticizing his son.
Sherry was dumbfounded.
Then how about Clark?
Wasn’t Clark her father? She shook her head in disbelief, “No, that’s not true!”
“Godfather,you should explain this to her later. She doesn’t look too good, I’ll go get the doctor!”
“Cohen Sutton,you did it now!” Even John couldn’t watch it anymore, “What are you doing telling her such a truth so hard to handle at a time like this? Think about her well-being! Think about the time, place and occasion!”
“John, I’m fine!” Sherry tried to force a smile. She was still in shock, but she said, “I want to know the truth!”
Mr. Spencer said that he was her real father! She wanted to know the truth!
Her mother fainted the last time she saw him, so there was some weight to his words. But she couldn’t just simply accept the outrageous truth!
She suddenly thought of that one time when Mr. Spencer asked her, what if the father she knew wasn’t her actual father and her real father was somewhere out there.
She remembered telling him that that would be a crazy story.
She didn’t think that it would really happen!
“Sherry, don’t think too much. Get some rest!” John walked up to her and stood in front of Cohen.
“No, let me take care of my daughter!” Cohen walked in front of John and sat down next to the bed.
John glared at him, “I will let you pass this time for Sherry’s sake, Cohen.”
John sat down on another chair in the room.
Cohen didn’t bother to reply John. He then said gently to Sherry, “Sherry, it was all my fault. I’ll tell you everything after you feel better. What would you like to eat? I’ll get it for you!”
Sherry shook her head, “Mr. Sutton tell me the truth right now. You said that you did a DNA test?”
Cohen took a deep breath, he looked at Sherry conflictedly. He regretted and was angry at him and his big mouth. How could he slip up like that! He nodded his head seriously and said, “Yes, you are my daughter. Sierra and I were lovers!”
