A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 195

Listening to the sound of choking by Liam, Sarah didn’t understand why her heart throbbed again and her heart was hurt again at the moment when she once thought that it wouldn’t be painful anymore.

“Just say what you want to say, I can accept it!” She said.

Holding her tightly, Liam said slowly, “Silly girl, why don’t you tell me that it was you on that night six years ago? Why have I misunderstood you for so many years?”

Sarah immediately became nervous. “You, you know it?”

Her voice trembled and her whole body froze.

Hugging her tightly while choking, “Why don’t you tell me that you have a child?”

Upon mentioning the child, Sarah turned even more nervous and her body trembled violently in addition with severe pain on her face which showed an indescribable expression.

“Sarah?”

Sarah pushed him away violently while shaking her head. “Go away, I don’t want to see you again! Never!”

She then turned around immediately but was hugged by Liam from behind. “Don’t be like that, Sarah, I’m wrong!”

Pleading voice appeared in his low raspy noise. Liam closed his eyes and buried his face in her shoulders, his hands wrapped around her waist tightly which made him clear that he loved Sarah, and it was just that he had always avoided himself from facing the truth.

Sarah was powerless as her back was pressed into his arms which made her body turn softer. Subsequently, large teardrops rolled down from her eyes and she gaped soundlessly.

The teardrops fell on Liam’s hand and he felt that hot teardrops scald his heart, “Don’t cry, I will get our baby back!”

“He’s dead!” Sarah cried out in pain. “Where are you going to find him for me?”

Liam’s hands trembled and his heart ached violently as he was shocked by what he had heard.

Sarah then turned back and wrapped around his neck, a heartbreaking cry burst out from her throat. “Damn it! Damn it! My baby was gone and do you know how hard it was when I needed you? Do you know it? There is nothing I can do…Boohoo…”

Her sobs left Liam dumbfounded and his heart was twisted with pain.

“No! What are you saying, Sarah?”

“He is dead, he is dead…” Sarah’s fist slammed hard on his chest as she hated so much about herself and her fate. “He is dead, my baby is dead!”

Liam froze when the fist was slammed down on his body and he was puzzled about why was this happening? He suffered in silence while hugging her tightly, “Sarah, Sarah…”

Ashley was startled when she heard such a pathos cry at midnight and she ran out immediately as she was afraid of waking up the neighbors. “Come in please! How can you cry outside at midnight?”

Liam went speechless before he mournfully carried Sarah into the living room.

Sarah kept bawling as if she wanted to cry out the grievance of all these years at once.

Ashley thoughtfully gave them the space while going upstairs herself before she said, “The second room upstairs belongs to Sarah, don’t leave here tonight as it’s too late! Just rest here once the problem is solved!”

“Thanks!” Liam nodded instinctively but inside he was in a state of turmoil.

“He is dead…” Sarah cried desperately. “Our baby died, he died! He only lived for one day and then he died!”

“No way! How could he die? Sarah, Lucille said that Darcy Mclean stole the baby, how could he die?” Liam awoke from stagnation.

Sarah froze. “What… what do you say?”

Liam explained urgently, “It was Lucille who said that Darcy had stolen the baby!”

“No way, no, I saw my baby dying with my own eyes. When I woke up, the baby was out of breath, it couldn’t be!” Sarah shook her head and tears streamed out again. “He is so small…”

“Sarah, think carefully!” Liam didn’t believe that the child was gone, he couldn’t believe it even if he died.

It was the time when she left home moneyless for seven months in order to give birth in a private clinic as she was unable to go to the hospital. The doctor who helped her to deliver the baby said that the baby was congenitally malnourished and had been born with poor breathing. In addition, she became weaker after the childbirth, so she was unable to take care of the child. When she woke up, she then fainted again when the doctor told her in tears that the baby was dead and held the baby for her to see. Being worried that she would be desperate and sorrowful, the doctor then told her that she had sent the baby to the crematorium and the ashes had been sent to her.

“Wait Sarah!” Liam sensed something wrong. “Cremation needs a proof, how can she help us privately without a proof? It’s not right!”

“Does it need a proof?” Sarah asked while lifting her little face. “So, what you mean is that the baby is still alive? How can Darcy steal my baby? I don’t even see her!”

“There is nothing wrong as it is told by Lucille. The baby was stolen by Darcy, I think we need to go back to that clinic now and find the doctor who has a problem!” Liam held her hands. “Let’s go and find him! Where is the clinic?”

“In G City! But she is gone, I’ve been looking for her but I can’t find her and the clinic is closed. Someone says she has gone back home but no one knows where her old home is!”

“That’s even more telling!” Liam could conjecture that Darcy had bribed the doctor and swapped the baby, or she might have done something special that made Sarah believe that the baby died.

“So, is the baby really alive?” Sarah couldn’t believe it as she always thought that her baby had died, and all these years, every time when she saw someone else’s baby, she would be sad and upset.
