A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 206 Tears of Happiness

They were hugging each other. William said, “Thank you for your tolerance, thank you for your kindness. Sherry, let’s go to the hospital now so we can see the result earlier!”

“Ok! I want to see it too!” She could not wait to go as well.

The hospital.

There was still one hour left when they arrived at the hospital.

They were on the edge of their seat while waiting outside the authentication room.

Sherry’s hand was full of her sweat, her heart was pounding insanely fast. She kept intertwining her hands together while pacing back and forth anxiously.

“Sherry!” William held her small palms. She then realized his palms were also sweaty.

“You are nervous too?” She was surprised as she realized both of them were very nervous.

William nodded awkwardly but he was nervous too, “I am quite worried, I hope Daniel Murray is my son. It is because I have a special feeling towards this kid at the beginning. I will get carried away every time I see him. I like this kid uncontrollably!”

He recalled the first time he met Dan in the airport. When they went to the toilet together, he surprisingly yelled, “William, your dick is so big!” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

He could not help but laugh out loud, then he saw him selling condoms, which made him heartbroken. He thought of all these years Sherry and Dan had been tough, they must have suffered a lot. He felt like he was guilty of everything that happened to them.

They were hugging together tightly, Sherry was stuffed in William’s arms. Suddenly, the door of the authentication room was opened. Doctor Simpson walked out with a smile on his face, “Mr. and Mrs. Rowland, I bet you could not bear the misery in waiting for the result. That is why I let my assistant finish it 50 minutes earlier.”

William and Sherry raised their heads immediately, they could not stop trembling. They asked anxiously at the same time, “What is the result?”

They were holding their breath as this was the moment they had been waiting for.

“Dan is your biological son!” Doctor Simpson was holding an authentication report. “I got 5 drops of blood each from the blood samples of the three of you, and Dan’s DNA matches with your DNA by 99.9%. He is your child!”

“It is true!” said William as he took the report.

The only thing he saw was the 99.99% similarities, a great sense of joy rushed through his mind. He then looked down at Sherry, she was stuffing her hand into her mouth and was biting her finger. She was already covered in tears. Ecstasy was all over their faces, Sherry was so excited that tears were falling off her cheeks.

“Sherry!” William hugged her. “He is our son, Dan is our son!”

Doctor Simpson smiled and said, “Yes, Mr. Rowland, if you have any problems, feel free to contact me, here is the report.”

“Thank you so much, Doctor Simpson!” William was so excited and shook Doctor Simpson’s hand. After that, Doctor Simpson left.

At this moment, Sherry finally realized everything. She grabbed the report from William and read the result. She was crying and smiling at the same time when she read it, "William, it is Dan. It is Dan, he is our son. He is always with me but I do not even know he is my biological son. I do not even know..."

William sighed deeply and hugged her, “Luckily he is. No matter what happens, you witnessed his childhood and was part of his childhood. At least God is fair. It let us rejoin with our son. Sherry, let’s go home!”

“Yes, let’s go back home! I want to tell Dan that he is our son!” Sherry was so excited that she hugged William’s son. She was jumping and laughing while still crying.

William also wanted to cheer so badly.

When they arrived home, they quickly woke up John Rowland. Sherry immediately ran to Dan’s room. As she was watching her son sleeping, her heart clenched tightly. It was her precious son. Her baby boy was always by her side all this time.

She touched Dan’s forehead gently and affectionately. Dan’s eyebrows were extremely similar to William’s sharp eyebrows. His eyes were closed at the moment while the long eyelashes were covering the eyelids.

When Dan was sleeping peacefully, he suddenly chirped his mouth and muttered, “Mommy...”

Sherry was startled. She thought Dan was awake, then sobbed, “Dan?”

But Dan just turned over, this young fellow was having a dream.

Sherry held Dan’s tiny palm as she did not want to let it go for even one split second.

At that moment, the memories of all these years suddenly flashed back in her mind. Her heart was filled with happiness. He was her son.

William woke John up and handed him the report. Besides, he also showed him the report of Samuel and Liam.

After reading the report closely, John experienced an emotional roller-coaster. After a long and awkward silence, John suddenly sighed and shed a drop of tear.

He quickly concealed and looked sidelong at the picture on the table. It was a picture of William’s mother, “No wonder he was so approachable the moment I saw him. No wonder I just could not help but like him. No wonder he is so smart, he is the descendants of Rowland’s family.”

“Father! Will you blame me?” William asked, “Blame me for making mistakes and let Sherry and Dan suffer for years!”

“Then pay for your mistake!” John rarely said any gentle words, but at this moment he could not help but be gentle with his words, “I am not worried about Dan, I am worried about Samuel. How do you plan to tell him the truth?”

“I was thinking to plan a family gathering, then invite Liam’s family and others including dad-in-law. Then we can get Samuel to talk to Liam and Sarah Brooks. After he builds up trust with them then only we tell him, does that sound good?”

“Deal, then invite Liam and Sarah to come over tomorrow. After losing a child, we should be more sensitive about their feelings. We should let Samuel know his origin as early as possible.” John nodded, “Let me go check on Dan!”

“Yes!” Both of them entered Dan’s room.

Sherry was softly patting Dan’s shoulder as she looks at him gently. This heart-warming scene made John cried again. When William found his father was crying, he was a little bit shocked.

William walked towards Sherry and looked at Dan. He could not help but smirk, “Even the way he sleeps was so similar to me! Sherry, let’s get out. Father is here to check on Dan, he knows!”

Sherry turned over and looked at John, she then stood up, “John…”

John walked up to her, patted her hand, “Hey Sherry, thanks for giving birth to this excellent child!”

“John…”

“I want to stay with my grandson for a while!” John walked towards Dan and sat down by his bed. He helped Dan to adjust his blanket.

William held Sherry’s hand, “Let’s go outside!”

The two of them walked outside. Sherry wiped away the teardrop on the corner of her eye, it was the tear of happiness, “Let’s go check on Samuel!”

William nodded, the two of them then entered Samuel’s room.

***

After checking on Samuel, William and Sherry went back to their room. Sherry seemed confused and stupefied, then murmured, “William, am I dreaming? Is this all real?”

William shook his head and smiled, “No, Sherry, we are not dreaming. This is all real. Dan is our son. I feel like the happiest person in the world!”

Sherry was pacing back and forth in the room anxiously and aimlessly, “I want to see Dan again.”

“Sherry, Dad is in that room, he cried. I think he does not want us to see his crying face. So, let’s reserve tonight for him!” William held Sherry’s hand.

“He cried?” Sherry was shocked.

“Yes, did you forget that father really loves Dan? He even wanted to give his company to Dan when he did not know anything about the situation. That shows he really loves Dan, isn’t it?” said William.

“Yes!” Sherry nodded. “You are right, they are closely related, they really are. Consanguinity is a wonderful thing, it is just like my mother. Even when she had done a lot of awful things, in the end, I do not even hate her! I just think she is a miserable woman living a miserable life. I will let your dad have his moment with Dan!”

“Thank you!” William was pleased by her kindness. Originally, he wanted to stay with Dan and Sherry tonight, but he knew that his father needed Dan even more.

“William...” William stopped her before she even completed her sentence.

“Are you going to keep saying my name?” He did not like it when she kept calling his full name. He smirked evilly with light shining in his eyes.

“Then what should I call you?” She was stuck in her memories back in the happy days when she was with Dan. She felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart even when there was still faint pain. But she was still happy because Dan was with her all these years.

“Call me your honey!” said William with a deep voice.

He finally had nothing to worry about and wanted to celebrate. After that, William hugged her from behind.

Sherry was slightly stiff. William placed his chin on her shoulder and said with a deep voice, “Sherry, I did not expect it is that easy to find our son. Anyway, we should not tell this anybody yet. I still want to get even with Peter. When everything has been solved, marry me.”

“Why do you hate him so much?” Sherry could not figure out the reason. It was horrible.

“You will get to know it soon, let’s not mention him from now on! Do not let this contemptible person ruin the happiness and joy for our family reunion!”

William chuckled then kissed the skin on her neck. He then ambiguously said, “Sherry, are we going to celebrate finding our real son?”

“Yes! We should!” Sherry did not understand, “But I think we should wait until Samuel fully accepts Liam and Sarah, is it fine?”

“I was thinking we celebrate this on our own, what do you think?” William said in a deep voice. He could not sleep anyway at the moment and his father was occupying his son as well. He knew his father was crying tonight and it was his first time seeing his father cry. So for tonight, he was willing to give some space for his dad.

“Celebrating it on our own?” Sherry still did not get it.

“Sherry, Dan is really adorable, isn't he?” said William.

“Yes! You’re right! Don’t you know he was so clever when he was young? He was such a good boy that I feel sorry for the way I treated him. I am gratified that he grew up to be a fine boy, he was so smart. I hope my kids can be useful for society instead of being those pampered and wimpy kids.”

“Don’t worry, you did a good job in educating!” William’s chin was still on Sherry’s shoulder. He could see her pink cheeks if he looked slightly to the side. He could not help and approach her, he then kissed her gently.

She was stunned while her cheeks were as red as cherry. “Quit playing!”

“Sherry, when are you going to make me another adorable baby? Let’s celebrate by making another baby, does that sound good to you?”

Sherry finally realized what he meant by celebrating. She lowered her head and lowered her defense, her whole face was reddened.

“You are shy…” William said playfully and would not let her go.

Her red face became even redder after William said that. She started to smooth things over, “That’s it, stop it. I felt complicated today, I was excited and worried all day. Now, I feel like I have no energy at all.”
