A Moment in Destiny

“We don’t need to think back. I appreciate what I have suffered which made me stronger. So, all of these belong to you, not me!”

Ashley still tried to say, “Sherry…”

Sherry shook her head, “Thank you so much! I am satisfied with what I have now. Happiness cannot be measured by money; more money might not bring more happiness. My mommy did not have any fun in her life. At the beginning, I think she might be happier after marrying your daddy. But it seems not to be the same as I think. Now, both of them left the world; it doesn’t matter who is correct. Anyway, Ashley, have courage.”

She knew Ashley was the last one of her family in the world. Ashley was only twenty-two years old; how would she continue to operate such a big company? But she also understood humans were always able to be powerful in difficulties; Ashley would definitely make it.

“Sherry, money neither means so much to me. You are the last one of our family; I just would like to keep you. Without daddy and Sierra, you are the only one to me!” Ashley would not like to lose her elder sister Sherry. That’s why she decided to give shares of the company to Sherry.

“You have Leon. He is a really nice guy!” Sherry said.

Ashley shook her head to say, “No! We broke up long time ago.”

Then she had some coffee in a rush, but it caused a cough and soon was followed a nausea, “Sorry…”

Ashley covered her mouth to run to the restroom. Sherry stopped to think for a while and started to worry about something; she followed Ashley to see her.

Ashley vomited much by the washing basin. Something occurred to Sherry just then.

“Ashley, do you have a baby in your tummy?”

Ashley raised her head to look at herself so sick in the mirror. She hesitated to answer but finally she did not deny it, “Yes. Sherry, please keep the secret for me.”

Sherry asked, “Leon?”

“Yes.” Ashley answered quietly.

Then they went back to the table. Ashley said, “He doesn’t love me. I know he loves someone else. So, I hate to be with a man not loving me. Even if I have the baby, I still let him go. Sherry, don’t tell anyone else. Ok?”

Sherry said with great worry, “Is it good to the kid if you don’ tell Leon?”

Ashley answered, “It’s my kid! Nothing to do with him.” She touched her tummy, “I have one family member other than you!”

Sherry had a sigh with nothing to talk. If Leon did not love Ashley, how could they live together? Even if they lived together, how could they live for the whole life?

Ashley passed the form for transferring shares to Sherry, “Sherry, please accept it.”

Sherry returned it back.

“Sherry!”

As soon as I saw it lose control to come to us, it was too late; I turned the steering wheel but still had a crash. Lucille was hit on her tummy and got uterine rupture.
