A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 42

“This smell belongs to Miss!” Sammy drooped his head in embarrassment, his shiny white teeth biting his bloodied lips which made him looked reserved. He had never spent any time with an unfamiliar adult woman before this!

 

“The smell on my mother's body is so fragrant. Did you get a whiff of my mother’s bodily smell too?” Dan asked Sammy as if he wanted to suck up to him.

 

A faint blush appeared on Sammy's cheeks as he continued to stare at Sherry for a long time before finally nodding.

 

“Does you mum have this kind of fragrant smell on her body?” Dan asked again.

 

“I don't have a mum!” Sammy's voice became hoarse all of a sudden.

 

Sherry felt something tugging at her heart as she shifted her gaze towards Sammy. Suddenly, she felt her heart ache pretty hard. Why did this poor kid don't have a mother?

 

“My dad told me that I am going to have a mum soon!” Sammy raised his face and met Sherry’s pretty features. This adult female was really beautiful! He would feel so lucky if she was his mum!

 

“Good boy!” Sherry's eyes were slightly reddened at the moment.

 

Dan stopped saying anything at this point. It turned out that Sammy didn't have a mother, similar to him who didn't have a father. He understood that not everyone had a father, and not everyone had a mother too!

 

“Miss, you are really beautiful” Sammy confessed earnestly, and as a result his face blushed once again. His huge watery eyes were blinking non-stop as they were fixated on Sherry.

 

Sherry touched her head while revealing a bitter smile and announced, “It's time for a meal! Dan, help Sammy to get a chair, we are going to eat together!”

 

“Alright! I'm coming!” Daniel moved a chair over and led Sammy to wash his hands before eating. “Sammy, why did your dad beat you? Is it because you don't have a mother so he is entertaining himself by beating you?”

 

“I..."

 

“Don't you want to go home?”

 

“It's not that!” He just didn't want to go back to a house without a mother. If he had a mother, he would definitely go home without hesitation.

 

“Your dad is probably worried about you since you are lost now!” Dan started to lecture him, “If I got lost, my mother would also be worried about me, so you have to call your dad after our meal, okay? We are now good friends, so if your dad beats you again in the future, I will ask my mum and Celia to give him a good beating, alright?”

 

Sammy was slightly worried about what Dan had claimed. What if someone were to teach his dad a lesson for real?

 

After their meal, Sherry discovered that Sammy was a shy child who didn't like to talk. Whenever he said something, his face would blush. He was really a poor child who never had the love of a mother since he was young. To make things worse, his dad also hit him from time to time. He must have left home because he was feeling too afraid.

 

Sherry was feeling very sympathetic towards Sammy, she vowed secretly to confront his dad and enlighten him with the grave consequences of beating a child.

 

How could someone beat up a child who was at such a tender age? He was too despicable!

 

“Sammy, tell me your house number. I will pass on some words to your dad and make sure that he would not beat you anymore in the future!”

 

“Miss, don't do that!” Sammy shook his head vehemently. His dad would be extremely saddened if he were to learn of his lies. 

 

“Miss, my dad is a good person. He never hit me before!”

 

Oh my god! This child must be really scarred from the beating his dad had given him to the point that he was even lying for his father’s sake upon hearing that Sherry was going to call his dad.

 

“Are you afraid of getting scolded by your dad? Then I won't say anything extra. I would just tell him that you are at my place so that he won't be too worried about you. Is this a good enough reason?”

 

“Really?”

 

“Of course!” Sherry entertained the thought that this child must have been threatened by his dad somehow. His dad was really a scum.

 

After confirming that Sherry didn't have malicious intents, only then did Sammy tell her about William's phone number after hesitating for a short while.

 

Sherry immediately called him.

 

William was in a frantic state after searching his child for some time, and suddenly a call was coming for him and he saw 

Sherry’s name on the screen of his phone. In an instant, his brows became furrowed.

 

What did she want at that moment?

 

“Hello!” William's hoarse and low voice sounded.

 

He only uttered a word, and coupled with the fact that Sherry didn't have his number in the first place, so she couldn't recognize William at first. She was only concentrating on mustering enough courage to lecture him, “Mr., are you Sammy's dad?”

 

Sammy?

 

William was stunned. How did she know about his son?

 

Before he could produce a response, Sherry's voice came again, and it was obvious she was impatient, “You're Sammy's dad, so how could you beat up your son?

 

Didn't you know that children are the future of the nation? Didn't you know that you can’t use violence on someone that young? Even if he is in the wrong, you still shouldn't beat him. With his current age, it is very likely that he already has some trauma because of you. Do you even take that into consideration?”
