A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 40

"You foolish woman!" William let out a roar while heaving heavy breaths on the side of the bed. He howled at Liam coldly, "You better go find out who you have offended this time. I don't wish to see the same thing happening again!”

 

“I'll do that now!" Liam was really surprised. They were in the unfamiliar Korea. Who could he have offended?

 

“Alright” William nodded as he turned his gaze on to the scenery outside the window, "Send ten bodyguards here now!"

 

Liam finally understood how important Sherry was to William. He had only mobilized at most four bodyguards for himself, but this time, William had decided to mobilize ten bodyguards for Sherry's sake. This fact alone showed how much he cherished Sherry. However, why did he feel a little bitter in his heart?

 

As time slowly passed by, Sherry who was shrouded in darkness slowly came to herself as the effects of anesthetics finally faded. A burning sensation was engulfing her from her shoulders and slowly spread through her body.

 

As her mind finally became clear, she caught a glimpse of white walls surrounding her. Where was she now?

 

“Are you awake?" William had a complicated look on his usually cool face.

 

"Is Mr. Brooks fine?" Sherry immediately recalled that someone was trying to kill Liam, and she was still worried about this.

 

"Damn it!” William roared once again. She only cared about Liam the moment she woke up and he was very irritated by that. 

 

Was Liam that important?

 

"Why are you roaring at me?" Sherry peeked at her arm and was immediately stung by the pain. Although the pain was  unbearable, she was still able to save Liam's life. This made her feel like it was worth it for her to go through such discomfort. 

 

What if that blade successfully pierced through Liam's heart? Wouldn't that mean his demise?

 

Despite raging with incredulity and astonishment, upon seeing Sherry's innocent look, he finally couldn't take it anymore. He looked at Sherry with a look of defeat before suddenly dashing out of the room. Shortly after, the doctor was finally here!

 

After examining Sherry's body, he declared, "You need to stay in the hospital for three days. After that, the bandages can be removed and you can be discharged!"

 

He still had that furious yet defeated expression on his face, but upon hearing the doctor's verdict, he finally felt a little better.

 

"Where is Mr. Brooks?" Sherry continued to ask.

 

"He is fine. He is not dead yet!" William answered dejectedly. “Why did you throw your body in front of that blade?”

 

Sherry could finally feel at ease after confirming Liam's safety. While looking at William's cold yet handsome face, her expression gradually softened as she thanked him earnestly, “Thank you, Mr. Rowland. As long as Mr. Brooks is fine!"

 

"I'm really annoyed right now!" William still had that aloof and cruel aura on his face. He was really on the verge of breaking down. This woman only knew to care about other man. She could even sacrifice her life for the sake of Liam!

 

"Hey! Is Sherry awake?" After completing his task at the police station, Liam started to shout anxiously even though he hadn't reached the door to their room yet.

 

William's sharp gaze swept over Liam who was jogging towards them with an exasperated expression on his face.

 

"Mr. Brooks, you're fine! That's great!" Sherry's pale face had a reassured smile at that moment.

 

"Sherry! You're awake? Are you still hurt anywhere?" Liam was very fast on his feet and in no time, he was already by the bed.

 

Sherry's lips quivered slightly at the sight of Liam's anxious face, but when she blurted out a reply, it was weak due to her injury, ‘I'm fine.

 

"Sherry, you're really too kind!" Liam felt a tinge or sourness in his heart as he added, “You look extremely pale right now, yet you're claiming that you're fine. Why are you so foolish? Why did you throw yourself in front of me? A stab won't do anything to me! You cant be that foolish anymore in the future!”

 

Liam silently watched Sherry's pale and thin face. Since they knew each other, be it that time when Lara bullied her by scalding her with hot water or in that dangerous situation earlier on, she never put the blame on anyone. She never complained about her misfortune. Contrary to that, she could put her life on the line to save his life, and Liam was deeply moved by her kindness.

 

"Are you guys enough?" William suddenly howled, “It's time for her to sleep!"

 

"Uh!" Liam froze for a moment before agreeing, "Alright, Sherry, you should get some rest. I'll go now!”

 

Liam thought that William would exit the room with him, but to his surprise, after making him get lost, he slammed the door behind him hard! There were ten bodyguards standing guard outside, and all of them were dressed in total black. They gave off the impression that this was serious business.

 

"How could you sacrifice your life just for Liam's sake? If I recall correctly, you guys just knew each other not long ago, right?” 

 

William's fingers hovered above

 

Sherry's shoulders, and with a sudden jerk, he forced her to meet his piercing eyes.

 

"The situation was very precarious at that time!” Sherry faced his piercing gaze straight on. In fact, she never thought too much earlier on. If William was the one in danger just now, she would do the same thing too. It was just her intuition! She added, "I never gave it a lot of thought:

 

"What if that person was me?’ William felt her heart ache for no reason. When he heard her sincere and determined response, a complicated look entered his eyes.

 

"Uh! I would do the same thing too!" Sherry nodded honestly and gave a short and concise reply.

 

William's expression finally softened, "What about your nutrition imbalance? Didn't you take care of your diet at all in the past few years?”

 

"The past few years?” Sherry thought that he sounded like they had known each other for a very long time. “Am I suffering from anemia again?"

 

“Again?” William couldn't help but frown, "You used to suffer from that?"

 

"Yes, there was a time in the past I used to have that!” She was always in a bad mood and she never took care of her diet. 

 

Coupled with the immense pressure from study and work, it was only natural that she would be anemic.
