A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 69

He was not his mother's child?

He was found?

Daniel stood at the door, his big beautiful eyes were widened, and red.

Inside the room, William was just as startled, he suddenly felt mixed emotions rising up in him, he was even a little joyful, "Is what you told me the truth?"

Sherry shared at William's face, her eyes were filled with tears, "Yes! Mr. Rowland, please stop asking about my private matters, it is not a nice thing to do to rip open other people's wounds!"

William looked at her helpless face with eyes filled with complicated emotions, he went to her and took her into his arms.

Sherry struggled, but he held her tight, "I am sorry! I didn't know the truth!"

The door was opened, and Daniel wanted to ask something, but he saw that William was holding his mom.

"I thought Daniel was your child, I didn't know this was how it really was!"

"How can you force someone like that? Daniel is so pitiful, he is the only one I have, we have been supporting each other for so many years, if it wasn't for him, I didn't even know what would have happened to me! William, how can you always pour salt in other's wounds?" She was crying heavily on his chest.

William was so busy comforting Sherry that he didn't notice the little person standing at the door.

Daniel pressed his lips together, tears filling his eyes, all he heard in his head was, he was not his mother's child! He had no parents!

Then he turned, and ran outside.

"I am sorry!" William held back his emotions, and patted on her back, he didn't know what he could say to comfort her, suddenly, he remembered Daniel, "Hush, don't cry, Daniel is next door!"

Just one sentence made Sherry stop. Right! How could she loose herself? What if Daniel heard them?

William scanned the door, it was open, and then he asked Sherry unsure, "Wasn't the door closed?"

Sherry immediately looked up, and realized something, "Daniel? Daniel?"

There was no answer.

Sherry ran outside, "Daniel, where are you? Daniel, I am calling you, where are you?"

But nobody was in Daniel's room, the computer was still on, and there were notification sounds from one chat window, it was Celia, they were still chatting, but suddenly she got no answer anymore.

"No!" Sherry screamed in horror.

"Sherry, don't worry, we will find him!" Even William was shocked, did Daniel hear them just now? He didn't want to imagine what the child must be feeling!

"Of course you don't worry, he is not your child, William, I am warning you, if anything bad happens to my son, I will kill you!" If it wasn't for him, she would have never told anyone the truth!

Sherry ran outside.

William followed her, the rain was pouring outside, it was autumn, and cold.

Sherry shuddered, and looked into the dark rainy night, she was horrified when she couldn't see anyone, she put her hands around her mouth, and screamed, "Daniel, where are you? Tell me, where are you!"

In the rain, Sherry could only hear her own heartbreaking voice, "Daniel, tell me, where are you? I am sorry, we were just joking, of course you are my child, you are my everything, where are you? Please answer me..."

"Daniel!" William ran outside, and screamed, but they couldn't find him.

It didn't take long before both of them were soaking wet from the rain, but Sherry kept running, "Daniel, where are you? Tell me where you are, please don't scare me like this!"

Where did he go?

Did he really hear it? That is the only explanation! William couldn't imagine how a child would react after hearing such awful news.

He only had to think of Daniel's little face to feel pressure on his chest, and trouble breathing, his heart was aching, he thought it must be because of his guilt that he felt that way!

"Daniel, where are you? Tell me, me and your mother were only joking, that is not true!" William yelled, but no matter how loud he screamed, he didn't get an answer.

Sherry kept yelling herself while running, until she lost her voice, she ran out of their street, and the passengers walking there were all turning to look at her.

Sherry stopped someone on the road, "Sir, have you seen a five year old boy, about this tall?"

"No!" Everyone shook their heads.

"Daniel!" Sherry cried till her tears dried up.

William followed her, his heart was strangely hurting, he grabbed her wrist, "Sherry, don't worry, we will find him!"

It was getting dark outside, and people were going home, the helpless feeling of not seeing her child made her anxious, "Let go of me, William, let go, give me my son back, it is all your fault!"
