A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 40: You Guys can Continue

"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.

William clenched his fists and was contemplating about asking her about something. He held back slightly but in the end he decided to just ask her, “Are you short on money?”

"Yes!" She nodded. "Mr. Rowland, you should go back now. I need to sleep now!”

"Damn it! Why are you lacking money lately?” He roared.

If he remembered correctly, didn't she have 7.5 million yuan? This damn woman, that amount should allow her to live a comfortable life for the rest of her life! How could she suffer from anemia?

"Why can't I lack money?" Sherry frowned and stared at him with doubts in her eyes, "Mr. Rowland, I'm really tired. I want to sleep now!"

“Alright! Go to sleep now!" His expression softened slightly. "But I am not going anywhere!”

"But..." There's only one bed here.

“I will sleep on the sofa tonight!" William said coldly.

Perhaps due to exhaustion, Sherry fell asleep almost instantly.

William took off his shoes and curled up on the sofa. At that moment, he only truly felt the pangs of pain on his feet. The back of his feet which was stepped on by her was now swollen red.

On the bed, she was still curled up as usual, and her messy hair had concealed the side of her face. She was dead asleep at the moment, and sometimes her cherry red lips would be agape. She looked very youthful and childish, yet it was precisely this side of her which had moved his heart.

William glanced at his leg before wearing his slippers and walked to her side. He lightly swept aside the strands of hair covering her face and took a good look at her pale face. A sheepish smile formed on his lips.

A ripple was slowly spreading in his hair as he traced her skin lightly. An unspeakable feeling of reassurance rushed into his heart like a warm current, shrouding him with happiness.

“Stop messing around!" Sherry suddenly grabbed the hand touching her face as she let out a mumble. Her large movement affected the muscle on her shoulders and a jolt of pain instantly coursed through her body. She couldn't help frowning while muttering, "It's so painful?" This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Stop moving-' William pinned her hands to stop her from struggling while he examined her injury. A painful expression crept into his face as he recalled once again the scene where she was throwing herself in front of Liam to let herself getting stabbed instead. For some reason, he felt really envious as that odd sourness spread slowly within him.

Sherry was being clasped by a huge hand and strangely, she felt herself able to relax. In no time, she once again sank into a deep slumber.

When dawn broke, Sherry discovered herself lying in a warm embrace. There was an arm perched on top of her waist, and her injured shoulder was left alone.

After blinking several times, Sherry was assaulted by worries.

“Stop moving around. You are going to aggravate your injury” William let out a sigh as he hugged her with even more strength.

His chin was touching her other good shoulder and an infatuated smile appeared on his face. He was really glad that she was fine!

As she felt the spray of hot breath engulfing her, Sherry felt her body becoming hard like a rock. She cursed in her heart,

"When did he get onto my bed?”

“Mr. Rowland, why are in my bed?" After giving up on her struggles, Sherry began dejectedly, “And stop blowing hot air on my ears. It feels so itchy”

As if he was satisfied with Sherry's response, the smile on William's face deepened a degree. He replied in his magnetic voice, "A man is always very vulnerable and threatening in the morning, especially the one who he loves is in his embrace. It is very hard for me to restrain myself, so you better not wriggle around!"

Sherry snapped her head up in shock. Her face was drained of all colors!

“Don't put on a face that resembles a victim's.” His smile was still hanging on his face as he lifted her chin up with his fingers and planted a kiss on her lips.

After being kissed by him for several times, she always felt that her breath was going to run out someday. She could never understand how does it feel to have a passionate kiss with a man.

She was also shocked by his sudden advancement this time, but he couldn't get her to respond to him, he started to entice her with his tongue as reduced the strength exerted by his lips and let his body do the work.

His faint fragrance was enveloping her and intoxicating her at the same time. As she stared wide-eyed at him, his tongue continued to burrow its way into the cavity that was her mouth while intertwining with her tongue.

She reached out to move him backwards while mumbling some objection but she was no match for his strength as his hand continued to clasp the back of her head in place. She couldn't resist at all, but his ferocious kiss slowly turned into a gentle one after some time.

His kiss had rendered her body weak as she was trembling slightly. She touched his broad chest only to get stung the heat emanating from it.

His strong arms continued to caress her back and melt her gradually. After some time, she felt her desire slowly gotten aroused, and she was getting more and more familiar with his scent and body shape.

Her breathing was ragged and short.

All of a sudden, the door was pushed open. "Hey! It is time for injection...”

That sudden and loud noise pulled Sherry back to reality, and she mustered all her strength and pushed him away. Her initially pale face was flushed and steamy.

Liam was staring at them with his eyes widened. He had caught a glimpse of William who was lying in Sherry's bed, and the two of them had joined their bodies together in a shameful posture. More importantly, they were kissing as if there would be no tomorrow.

Cold sweat started to form a film on Liam's back. Oh my god! He was lucky that he didn't intrude into this room while they were having sex. It would spell his doom definitely as William would tear him into

countless pieces!

William was gazing at him with a venomous gaze at the moment.

"You guys can continue, I'll ask the nurse to wait for a while!” Liam said with an awkward smile on his face before slamming the door shut!

William had really fallen for her!

However, he couldn't figure out the reason he felt a little hurt just now when he saw them kissing.
