A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 70

"No! You are not!" He felt so painful in his heart, the sad feeling rolling in William's eyes, "You are a good boy, not a wild child, it's all my fault, I made a mistake, I shouldn't have joked with your mother, let's go and ask her, she will tell you that you are her kid!"

"Daniel?" Sherry ran towards them and saw that William was holding him in his arms, covered in spider webs, and little face had tears all over, and his hands were clinging onto William's neck, sobbing, "I am not your son, I am not!"

"Daniel, Sherry ran to him, and took him, "Son, I was wrong, of course you are my son, I only have you, you can't just leave me like that!"

William turned his face away, his heart was twitching, not only Daniel, Samuel was her son too! But how was he going to tell her about that with everything going on?

William didn't expect that he would have tears running down his cheeks. He shook his head, and hugged the two of them tight, "Let's go home, you will get a cold!"

"Mom, don't cry, mom, I will be a good boy! But you can't leave me either, I will be a good kid!" Daniel hugged Sherry's neck, his tears fell on her shoulders, they were hot, so hot that her heart twitched.

"Son... Mom will never leave you, and you should never leave me too okay? Mom won't survive without you!" Sherry pressed Daniel against herself, she never wanted to let go again.

"Sherry, let go, hurry, let's go home!" William took Daniel, but Sherry didn't want to let go of him. William sighed, "Sherry, you are all wet, you are going to give Daniel a cold, let's go back already!"

Only then Sherry saw her own condition, "Daniel, let's go home and take a shower, I will help you!"

The two of them both had red eyes, and Daniel shook his head, "I don't want you to help me!"

"Daniel?" Sherry looked at him, hurt, "You don't want me anymore?"

"You are a woman!" Daniel looked down, "I want uncle to help me shower!"

Sherry nodded, "Okay, anything you say!"

William pressed his lips together, and took Daniel in his arms, then they went to the bathroom.

"Mommy, you will not leave me right?" After the shower, Daniel was lying on the bed in dry clothes, Sherry had also showered, and was holding him.

The two of them were leaning on each other.

"I only have you, I only need you!" Sherry hugged him tight.

"But I am not your child, it' because I wasn't a good boy, so my parents didn't want me anymore!" His voice was so low that she could barely hear him.

When she heard that, she felt pain in her heart, "Son, you are a good kid, you are the best! Did you forget how many people like you? I love you the most, you are the only reason why I am so happy everyday!"

Daniel was her life, he was so smart, so adorable, the moment she found him on the river bond, she knew that this child was hers, she would never give him to anyone.

She still remembered that night, she had been looking for her own son for a month without any results, she wanted to kill herself, life had no meaning to her anymore! But then, in that moment, she saw this baby lying on the stones next to the river.

His eyes were so bright, so big, he wasn't crying, and when he saw Sherry, he smiled. That moment, she felt as if someone planted a seed in her, she saw hope again, her life wasn't as dark anymore!

He was premature, compared to other children, he was so smart, he started walking when he was only 10 months old, he could say "Mommy" at 11 months, and when he was one year old, he could speak full sentences.

When he was 18 months, he could express his own feelings, he could read one's face expressions, and he knew to be very good when Sherry was tired, he never screamed or cried, when he saw other children's toys, he would simply look, but never said anything, then he would take her hand and say, let's go home!

He would take a towel to wipe her sweat, he would be by her side when she was sick, he would watch her injections and tell the nurse to change her medications. When he was about two years old, he was already such a good boy!

When she was going to work she would put him in his little baby walker, where he could stay for hours and wait for her to come home, he never cried, even when he was hungry!

He was such a good boy, how could she leave him? Even if she never found her own son, she only needed Daniel, he would give her hope to stay alive! She couldn't imagine how life would be without him by her side, if she would still be there.

"Good baby, go to sleep, Mr. Rowland and I were only joking, you are my baby, look how similar we are to each other, right?"

Sherry tried to cover up the mistake by making jokes, but it has already planted a seed in Daniel's heart.

"Mom, I am your son!" Daniel hugged Sherry's neck, he leaned on her, his little body was still trembling from the crying, "I only want you, I don't need a Daddy, and I don't want another mother, I just want you!"

Sherry felt her heart sting, she was so sad, "Baby!"

She just wanted to hug him, hug him tight.

Finally, Daniel fell asleep!

Sherry pulled the blanket over him, and left the bedroom. As she came out, she saw William at the door, he was wrapped in a towel, but his chest was naked, she paused, he was too close to her, and it made the atmosphere repressed.

"I am sorry!" He apologized, "Sherry, I didn't know this would happen!"
