A Moment in Destiny

William looked at Lucille. She seemed to be really recovered now. She seemed to be level-headed just as when he first met her. Reggie suddenly said, “She has recovered, believe me! Jesse also said she has recovered!”

William’s gaze was filled with complexity. He felt bad for her, since he was the one who did her wrong. But remorse was nothing close to love.

He nodded. “But I have a condition!”

“State it!” Lucille nodded.

“Give her an advanced hypnotization. It’ll be best for her to leave behind the remaining infatuation inside her!”

Lucille shifted her gaze towards Caelan and Mrs. Mclean. “Dad, Mrs.Mclean, what do you think?”

“Lucy, she’s sick! She’s not like you, she’ll hurt someone else! I have to lock her up!” Caelan said gravely. “Perhaps you don’t know, she’d gone nuts and started to hurt people! She hurt our maid just for some petty matter, I’m afraid that…”

Caelan fell onto the sofa and muttered with grievance, “What did we do to deserve this? She fell sick just when you’ve recovered! Yes, the report is a fake, but she’d definitely fall sick if we put her in jail for a few days. Her condition now is just like your mother. Perhaps she will fall ill just in a couple of days, what’s the point of evaluation by then? The result will just be the same! I’m only saying this because there’s just no other way round. Because if she isn’t sick, she’ll have to be wicked to have done the things she did!”

“Let’s perform on her an advanced hypnotization!” William said.

“No! I don’t want that!” Darcy’s voice suddenly came from the second floor. She was standing at the stairway and look at them condescendingly. “I won’t let you guys set me up!”

Darcy’s cold vicious eyes were filled with rage. Under the sleeves of her pajamas hang her clenched fists. She saw Liam, and all her emotions flushed out. “I want to marry Liam!”

“Darcy, don’t be like this!” Lucille was heading upstairs to talk to her when Darcy yelled, “Don’t come near me!”

Lucille was taken aback when she saw a small revolver in Darcy’s hand. “Darcy, don’t!”

All of this came too sudden. Darcy held the gun in her hands, “Lucy. I’ll die if I don’t marry Liam! I’m feeling so sad, why doesn’t he like me?”

She pointed the gun towards herself, “My life has no meaning if he doesn’t like me!”

“Darcy!” Liam called. “Put the gun down. Can you stop?”

Darcy shook her head, “Liam, I’ll make you regret for the rest of your life!”
