A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 144

“Who’s sick?” said Susan. She was putting on a face mask when she heard Cohen Sutton yelling. She quickly ran out of the room, “Who’s at the hospital?”

Cohen turned around and looked at her. He looked in dismay, but he quickly calmed himself down, “My daughter!”

“Your daughter?” Susan was taken aback, “Since when you have a daughter?”

Cohen went into the study room and took out a document. He gave it to Susan, “Sue, you are free now. From today onwards, you can leave! We’ve been together for so many years. Even though it was because of the contract, I’m still very thankful to you for being with me. It’s time to give you back your freedom!”

Susan stared at the document in disbelief. It was indeed the contract.

She didn’t think that he would let her go and give her freedom. But… she was pregnant, and it was his child!

She always thought about leaving him, but she couldn’t believe her ears and was shocked when he really let her go.

“What? You don’t want to go?” Cohen smirked. As usual, he had a malevolent smile. “Weren’t you always thinking about that man? I’m letting you go, now go to him!”

Susan was still in shock as she took the contract from his hand. She signed that contract because of her mother back then. She didn’t feel any joy about regaining her freedom and even when that contract was in her hands now. Instead, she felt melancholic, “Why are you letting me go?”

“For the sake of my daughter!” Cohen smiled. “I don’t want my daughter to know that I have a mistress! I want to be a good father, I owe my daughter too much!”

“Is this the only reason?” asked Susan.

“I’m going to the hospital. My daughter just had a miscarriage and I want to bring her to the Sutton Family. I’ll give you this house and will ensure that Keegan Fox hand you a cheque later.”

“I don’t need it!” Susan took a deep breath, “I will leave. Thank you for giving me back my freedom!”

“Goodbye!” Cohen turned around and yelled, “Keegan, to the hospital. Now!”

Susan was left alone in the mansion. She caressed her belly subconsciously. She was pregnant with Cohen’s child. She did think about getting an abortion, but the doctor told her that it was risky for her age. If the abortion didn’t go well, she wouldn’t be able to get pregnant ever again!

At MH residence.

William knocked on the door and Darcy Mclean opened the door. Before she could even react, William hastily walked into the room. Riley was right behind him.

Darcy was confused, she wondered what happened. William was already standing in the middle of the living room and he looked angry. He glared at the Lucille who was sitting on the sofa biting her nails. William’s suit was a mess, he didn’t look as neat and gentlemanly as he always did.

Darcy thought about it, perhaps Sherry had a miscarriage?

William’s eyes were bloodshot. His gaze was fury and blazing, like searchlight probing the night sky. He glared at Darcy briefly and then locked his gaze on Lucille who was on the sofa.

Lucille only then realized that someone was here. She flinched and was already very startled from the loud noises William made as he walked into the house. She hugged a pillow tightly for protection and was trembling in fear. She hid her face behind the pillow and only her eyebrows were in sight. She peeked at William in fear.

William peered at her the whole time. He then glared at Darcy. He was enraged and he exploded in anger as he howled, “Shit, she hurt herself and was admitted to the mental hospital because of that, but you guys told me she was sexually abused. Darcy, why did you and Liam lied to me? Reggie Kelly didn’t do anything, didn’t he?”

Darcy was taken aback. She got worried, but she maintained her stance, “I don’t know what you are talking about!”

“You sure are a good actress! Go on with your act!” said William sarcastically. He scoffed, “Go on!”

Darcy knew that William was here to settle things with her and her sister. She subconsciously took a step forward and stood in front of the sofa. She said righteously, “I’m warning you, don’t hurt my sister! Her body is very fragile, so let’s talk outside and not startle her further!”

“Hmph!” William pushed Darcy away and stood right in front of Lucille,“I have something to ask her, I don’t care if she’s doing well or not! Lucille, you better snap out of it. You dare harm yourself, but you don’t dare to face the truth?”

“Ah! Don’t burn me” Lucille trembled, she repeated the same thing.

William grabbed her hand and grasped on her wrist tightly. Her wrist was as thin as paper, but William just snickered, “Burn you? Who burned you? Tell me!”
