Suddenly, a feeling of pity overflowed from her heart. His tears also made her feel sad. Sherry held her breath. She was afraid that she could not help crying.
Then, she felt William's hand touch her face. He gently stroked her frown.
He could feel her pain.
They were the two people who should be the most sorrowful.
The baby was theirs!
This baby he just knew a moment ago, but now suddenly lost, it was like a knife was cutting William’s heart. He would rather cut his heart than endure such pain!
"Sherry, I'm sorry!" William whispered. He was afraid to wake her up.
"Please leave!" Suddenly, she opened her eyes and took a deep breath. She stared at the ceiling without even looking at him.
William turned back immediately and looked up. "Sherry, are you awake?"
"Please leave!" Sherry said it again. "I don't want to see you!"
William looked at Sherry's expressionless face, and said softly, "Sherry, will you give me a chance?"
"Sorry." With a long sigh, Sherry shook her head. "I am sorry for you. I have nothing to say. I lost my baby."
She didn't want to see him again, and she didn't know how to get along with him, although all she wanted to do most at that moment was cry in his arms, but…
"Sherry, no matter what you say, I won't go out this time. Let me guard you here and take care of you!"
"No need!" she said indifferently. She did not want to give him a chance, ever again.
In that moment, how she wished she could rush into his arms. That warm and stable chest used to be her most nostalgic harbor. But now, as the baby was lost, her heart could never recover! Although she knew it was wrong to blame him.
Seeing her like this, he really wanted to hug her, kiss her, hold her in his arms, and then say sorry.
He wanted to do it, but he didn't.
He held his own hands but didn't dare to step forward, because he felt so guilty that she had suffered so much.
"Go!" She started getting annoyed. He was anxious, so said immediately, "OK, you don’t want me here, I'll go. I'll go immediately, don't get angry. Your body can't be angry! I'll be in the corridor. If you need me, please just call me. I'm willing to do anything. Please don't drive me too far away! "
His humble tone made her feel more sorrowful.
William was helpless and afraid that she would get angry, so he had to stay in the corridor.
Reggie raised his eyebrows when he saw him come out. "Did she wake up?"
William frowned. He couldn’t stand the way that Reggie cared so much about Sherry. "Who are you?"
Reggie was stunned. "You don't need to know!"
"What's your purpose of getting so close to Sherry?" William had an instinct that he had a purpose.
"Break you up!" Reggie said indifferently.
It was like a big bang to William's head. He really had a purpose, the motive was so impure and he even dared to admit it. He said coldly, "Don’t even think about it!"
Reggie shrugged, said provocatively, "At least now she is willing to talk to me, but not you."
William staggered back a step. It was true, he felt like a loser. But he didn't want to give up, "Sherry loves me!"
"But you seem to love Lucille! To you, Lucille always comes first. When did you ever put Sherry first?” Reggie’s words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which instantly shocked William.
‘That was true!’
‘He didn't! He always hurt Sherry!’
William closed his eyes in pain and kept shaking his head. Finally, he sat down on the bench, lowered his head and covered his face with his palms. He felt so sad and inconsoleable.
"Is Lucille really worth it?" Reggie left a word and went in the ward.
What did he mean?
William kept thinking about what he’d said. He knew that Lucille was in the past. He truly loved Sherry, but what he did was always...
"Reggie , you should go back!" Sherry saw Reggie come in and said softly, "When I get better, I hope to hear your complete story!"
"Aren’t you afraid that I am a sexual abuser?" he asked.
"You are not!" She was sure of it.
"Alright! Then get better soon, it's too late tonight, I won't leave till dawn. Go to sleep now." Reggie helped her cover the quilt.
It was in the living room of the Rowland residence at five in the morning.
There was a shout of anger from Mr. Rowland. "What are you talking about? Sherry was pregnant with my grandson? It's lost now? Damn it, how could it be lost?"
William lowered his head. He couldn’t hide his pain.
John's tone instantly lowered. "What can you do? My second grandson was lost! Who asked you to come back? Why didn't you take care of Sherry in the hospital?"
As soon as his father reminded him, William immediately cheered up. "Sherry ignored me, I couldn’t do anything. I was thinking about taking Sammy, she might talk to me when she sees Sammy!"

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
