Chapter 117:

“Why, let me wipe your face!” William sighed.

“Don’t do it, I’m crying…. William doesn’t like women crying…” She whispered as helpless as a child.

“Be quiet, don’t let him see you!”

How William’s heart ached! He almost shed a tear.

How was he to get her back, God? We stayed together to be happy, and parted to ease the pain. You couldn’t make me happy anymore, so I had to leave. When I left, it was painful too. Only you must have suffered more than I did, because I was the one who said goodbye first. I was the one who sought happiness first!

Sherry didn’t expect to run into Keegan and have her co-workers see her bawling so much. For a moment, she felt embarrassed. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying and more nausea in her throat. She even felt a little dizzy as she stood up.

Keegan held her with one hand. He didn’t ask her why she was crying, just said softly, “Where are you going, I’ll take you back.”

“I…” Sherry staggered, tried to lie still, but didn’t expect to get even more dizzy.

“Are you okay?” Seeing her face abnormally white and crying like that, Keegan didn’t hesitate to pick her up. “Come on, I’ll take him to the hospital!”

Sherry tried to struggle to get down, but she had no strength. She hadn’t eaten in the morning, hadn’t eaten last night, and had cried a lot for a long time.

She had been malnourished for the last month or so, and now she was even weaker.

But being held by Keegan drew sidelong glances from passersby,

Sherry was nervous and frightened, “Keegan, put me down!”

“Put him down and then watch him pass out?” whispered Keegan with concern. “Okay, the car’s out front, I’ll take him to the hospital, is he anemic?”

Disregarding what Sherry said, Keegan led her straight toward the car by the teahouse.

As they had just reached the car, three people came out of the teahouse. The one in the middle was a middle-aged man in a black suit, who looked imposing and cold. He froze slightly when he saw Sherry and Keegan, then flashed a cold smile.

“Miss Murray, I was wondering why you hadn’t said yes, and it turns out you had a choice!” John’s low, sarcastic words made Sherry feel as if a knife was going through her heart.

Keegan paid no attention to John, but instead opened the car door and put Sherry in the passenger seat, helped her buckle her seat belt, and then closed the car door.

Sherry saw the anger in John’s eyes through the car window. Her heart skipped a beat and she suddenly opened the car door, “Uncle, please send my son Dan back!”.

Keegan just looked at John and said to Sherry, “We’ll pick Dan up after we see the doctor!”.

Sherry cowered in the car as John’s face worsened.

Keegan had come to pick up tea for his foster father, but he hadn’t expected to run into Sherry. Instead of picking up the tea, she started the car and disappeared before the eyes of John and his assistant.

“Riley, call William and inform him that his wife is being taken by another man! Now they’re going to have an affair.”

After saying this in a somber voice, John surprised even himself by saying the word ‘affair’!

“Master?” Riley was in a quandary.

It wasn’t clear that Mr. Rowland was in love with her.

Master was overreacting! But Riley still called William.

“Hello! Mr. Rowland, Miss Murray is cheating on you with a tall, indifferent man!” Riley almost hung up the phone right away, sheepishly, after saying this.

“Mr. Rowland, that’s it, Master is calling me!” After saying this, without waiting for William to say anything, Riley hung up the phone.

William was dumbfounded to receive such a call out of the blue. He hurried to find Sherry’s number and dialed it with trembling hands. But the phone didn’t answer.

Sherry was in the hospital and Keegan insisted that the doctor give her a full checkup.

“Keegan, I’m fine. I’m just fine.”

Actually, she knew what was going on and didn’t want anyone to know she might be pregnant.

But the doctor laughed, “Miss, your boyfriend is worried about you. You’d better get a full body checkup. You look a little weak.

“Doctor, no… He’s not my boyfriend!” explained Sherry.

Keegan’s eyes, however, twinkled.

He turned his head toward and said coolly and commandingly, “Doctor, give him a complete checkup!”

“Uh! I’m sorry, I don’t know…”

The doctor rattled off a series of prescriptions, but Sherry simply said, “Doctor, check my HCG levels. I think that’s the problem.”

The doctor was stunned and froze, “You know a lot, Miss! You even know the technical terms! How many days have you been on your period?”

Sherry froze and looked at Keegan.

It was really embarrassing for her to have him here.

So she said, “Keegan, can you come out first?”.

Keegan was confused, but he didn’t want to come out.

“Please!” Sherry said again.

“Fine! Call me if you need anything.”

As soon as he left, besides Sherry ignoring him addressing her, she immediately said, “It’s been two weeks. I just remembered too. I think she might be pregnant.”

“Well, if she is pregnant, morning sickness will show up at exactly forty days! The fetus is too small for an ultrasound at this point. How about this? First we do a test. If the test paper shows a positive result, we will do a blood test.”

The doctor quickly prescribed a test paper.

Sherry took the sheet, paid the money and picked up the test paper.

Keegan, however, watched her dumbfounded as she headed for the bathroom.

When the result came out, Sherry was truly dumbfounded! She really was pregnant.

Then she had another blood test. The HCG level was correct and the doctor ruled out the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy. As Sherry stared blankly at the result, Keegan looked at it too.

It said that the biochemical pregnancy was about six weeks old (normally, six weeks pregnant in this context means you were pregnant from the first day of your last menstrual period) Normally you experience nausea and vomiting and other early pregnancy reactions at six to eight weeks gestation.

“You’re pregnant?” Keegan gasped.

Could it be the man from last night, William?

Sherry held the test results in her hands stupidly. She wanted so badly to cry. Crying would make her feel better. But she couldn’t. The feeling of not being able to cry was so hard….

It seemed like she wasted too many tears these days. She was pregnant again with William.

It was the second child God had given her. She loved children so much, but this one came at a bad time! But she was going to have him. She was going to have this baby.

He was the fruit of her love. She wanted him.

Keegan noticed the change in her expression and was a little confused for a moment, “Sherry?”

“Keegan, thank you for sending me here, can you help me keep the secret of my pregnancy?” She spoke, forgetting the formalities as well, and was already planning to leave town in the near future.

“Okay!” Keegan was a man who kept his promises and never said much.

That was why he was well liked by Cohen and was accepted by him as his adopted son.

“I won’t say anything! You have a baby now, so you have to take care of yourself and rest. You are very weak now. I’ll go ask the doctor what supplements pregnant women can take. Sit here and wait for me.”

William kept calling Sherry, but there was no answer.

What was going on, had he really been tricked? His heart was in turmoil.

Keegan had gone to ask the doctor about her.

Only then did he remember that his phone was on silent at the moment.

When he pulled it out, he discovered a string of numbers flashing.

It was a string of numbers she had erased but could never forget. Her heart skipped a beat and she unconsciously put her hand to her belly.

“Honey, it’s Daddy. But Mommy can’t let him find out about you. He’s already a mess. Let’s not add to the mess, okay?”

Even though she knew the baby was only the size of a pea, Sherry was still hopeful. It was another hope for her.

Anyway, having a baby gave her a purpose in life. She needed to be stronger, be a good mother and raise them.

The phone was still blinking. She looked at the phone as the lights slowly went out. There were fifteen missed calls and all from William! She didn’t answer.

William grew more anxious and glanced again at the trembling woman on the couch. He was in a quandary-what should he do?

“Is there anything?” asked Darcy.

William’s eyes blinked, “No, nothing!”.

“William…” At that moment, Lucille suddenly spoke.

William had just wiped her face and seemed to have steadied himself a bit.

“Lucille, what’s wrong?” he asked quietly as he called out.

On the sixteenth call, Sherry finally answered.

But William’s gentle voice on the other end of the line, was not for her, but for another woman.

“Lucille, don’t cry. I’m here. I’m not going anywhere. Don’t cry…” Sherry’s heart ached.

Suddenly, tears welled up. Her eyes, soaked with tears, were still so dark and bright.

William, did you call for me to hear you talking quietly to another woman? Sherry smiled bitterly and hung up the phone. And William happened to glance at the phone and realized that this time there was a record of the call.

Ah, she had answered! Damn it, he was talking to Lucille.

She must have heard him. William suddenly panicked.

Immediately afterward, Sherry called. He glanced at the phone with her number flashing and his heart skipped a beat.

He immediately ran to the bedroom, closed the door, locking everything out, and called out urgently, “Sherry, is that you, is that you?”

A sad smile appeared on Sherry’s lips.

She said quietly, “Sir, I’m sorry, you have the wrong number. Please do not call this number again in the future.”

“Sherry!” shouted William sharply. “No! Don’t hang up the phone! I just want to know where you are.”

Sherry’s lips curved again.

“Sir, please don’t call again or I’ll file a harassment complaint!”

“No! Sherry, don’t!” William’s heart ached even more. “Please!”

Sherry felt as if she had a fish bone in her throat that she couldn’t spit out or swallow.

The taste was so uncomfortable and painful that she almost choked and felt like her breath even hurt.

“Sir, you’ve really called the wrong number!” She spoke with tears streaming down her face.

Damn it, why did she keep crying, why did she keep crying? Sherry, why are you so useless, are you crying just because of the sound of his voice?

William muttered, “Sherry, I just want to know if you’re with a man.”

And at that moment, Keegan came out of the doctor’s office with the menu of supplements the doctor had written for him.

He called from a distance.

“Sherry, let’s go shopping after we pick up Dan. I’ll make you some soup today…”

And he got halfway through the call before he saw her sitting on the lounger crying and holding the phone.

“Sherry, what’s wrong?”

William’s heart raced as he heard the male voice on the other end, “Sherry, are you really with a man? Is it the man from yesterday?”

His heart broke.
