A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 139 Lucille Is Missing

After hanging up the phone, William Rowland's eyes narrowed sharply towards the car window, looking at Sherry Murray and Reggie walking side by side. William was wondering what they were talking about! And the way they were walking together annoyed him!

Reggie, was by no means a simple individual. What kind of purpose did he harbour by approaching her?

The car followed slowly, going super slow.

As Sherry walked with Reggie, he asked without thinking, "Where did you guys go yesterday? It looked like you guys were in a hurry, and you didn't even go to work!"

"Oh! A friend got sick!" Sherry pursed her lips and said casually.

"The woman in the photo?" Reggie’s body stiffened and paused. "Lucille Mclean?"

Sherry froze, looking up in confusion. "How did you know?"

Reggie’s eyes flashed. "I guessed. Is she very sick?"

Sherry nodded. "Yeah, quite badly! Something's wrong with her mental health! It's said to be domestic violence, resulting in a mental disorder!"

"It's said to be domestic violence?" Reggie’s voice couldn't help but raise a little, looking a little agitated.

Sherry also froze, looking at him in confusion. "Yes, I saw a lot of burn scars on her hands. They were like cigarette marks. So, it's obvious how cruel her husband treated her! No wonder she misses her previous lover, William. Thinking about how gentle William was to her, it's no wonder she's always chanting about him!"

Reggie’s pupils contracted. "How's her mental health now?"

"Not very well!" Sherry shook her head. When she realized that she had said too much, she suddenly said, "Mr Kelly, this is someone else's privacy, and I shouldn't talk about it. Please don't talk about it either!" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Reggie , however, seemed to have fallen into deep thought.

"Mr Kelly?" Sherry shouted.

"Uh!" He returned to his senses. "What did you say?"

Sherry sighed. "Mr Kelly, you're lost in thought!"

"I'm sorry!" He apologized sincerely. "Let's go to eat together. It's just about time for dinner. I'll treat you as compensation for not inviting you yesterday!"

William had followed them all the way. In the car, his hands couldn't help but clench into fists as he kept watching them walking towards the Seah Restaurant.

"Young master, do you want me to go in and watch them?" The driver asked.

"No need!" William's face was stern and tensed. He glanced coldly in the direction of the Seah Restaurant, "Just wait here!"

The driver found a window where they could see inside and stopped. William looked inside through the window. He could see Sherry smiling at Reggie and wondered what they had said.

William looked on and became anxious. Just watching her smiling at another man made him so anxious, upset, and madly jealous!

When William put himself in Sherry's position, he realized that she would naturally be more upset when she saw pictures of him kissing other women. And it turned out that when he put himself in her position, he realized that he didn't have her kind of grace, he couldn't laugh!

He really wanted to rush in, pull her out, hug her tightly and tell her not to smile at other men. But she said, they shouldn't see each other for a while.

He was dismayed again, not daring to go forward. He could just watch from a distance. The jealousy in his heart was intensifying as if it was burning him to the point of suffocation.

…

"Mr Kelly, you love your girlfriend a lot! Maybe you love her more than she loves you, and that's why you're hurt!" Sherry said.

Reggie said he just wanted to talk to someone, and she happened to be bored, so she became his listener. Then, they went for a meal together.

"I don't know if I really love her!" Reggie shook his head. His voice became more powerful, yet he still revealed his loneliness, "I'm just disappointed in her! But it's all over now, and it's time for both her and me to move on!"

"There aren't many men as sentimental as you are anymore. You'll find your happiness!" Sherry said comfortingly.

A raging look appeared in Reggie’s eyes as he said something confusing, "Happiness is a luxury for me."

Sherry was stunned. When she heard these words, she felt that happiness seemed like a luxury for anyone. And she didn't know where her happiness was! Perhaps she was too greedy. She said quietly,

"Maybe one shouldn't ask for too much!"

Suddenly they felt like they were like old friends, recounting the meaning of happiness. Sherry smiled faintly, feeling like she was getting old and became more emotional.

"We could say that we're friends now, right?" Reggie raised his head and looked at Sherry, who was elegantly wiping her mouth with her napkin.

She froze and nodded her head. The topic had just occurred to her, and she hadn't expected him to say that. "Yes!"

Although she wasn't really into male friends, it seemed reasonable to have one or two male friends.

At this moment, her phone rang, and she was surprised that it was Darcy's number. She had called Sherry number once last time, and she remembered it.

"Excuse me. I have to take a call!" Sherry said.

Reggie nodded.

"Ms. Mclean, may I ask why you're calling me?" Sherry asked in a low voice.

"Sherry, I didn't expect you to be so old-fashioned in your tactics by not letting William visits my sister! If anything happens to my sister, I will definitely not let you go!" Darcy's voice carried a threat that pierced straight into Sherry's ears.

"Ms. Mclean, I don't understand what you're talking about? Why is William not seeing your sister anymore?"

Hearing this, Reggie’s expression stiffened, and his eyes looked towards her.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know about William's affairs, what are you saying? Is your sister missing?" Sherry's voice rose sharply. "How did that happen?"

Reggie looked up sharply, and was a little stunned.

Sherry hung up the phone and frowned in confusion.

"Did Darcy say that Lucille is missing?" Reggie spoke directly.

She nodded her head. "Yes, she said that Lucille's gone and she's looking for her!"

Reggie miserably stood up, took out his wallet and left his money, "Excuse me, I'm going out to look for her!"

"Ah!" Sherry was stunned. "You know Lucille?"

"I have no time to explain, Sherry. You should go home yourself!"

"No, I'm going to look for Lucille too!" Sherry also stood up, and the two of them hurriedly left the restaurant.

As soon as William saw them come out, he was immediately alerted. "Follow quickly!"

At this time, his phone also rang. "What? How could she be missing? You get some people to look for her immediately! I'm going too!"

William watched as Sherry got into Reggie’s car, and it drove in the direction of MH residence.

William's car also drove that way.

Sherry called Darcy again. "Ms. Mclean, how long has your sister been gone? Why did she go out?"

"Alright, I got it!"

Reggie’s hand gripping the steering wheel tightly, his bones and joints on his hand could be clearly distinguished, "What did Darcy say?"

"She said Lucille's been missing for about an hour and everyone's been looking for her! Maybe she just left the apartment and is still in the neighbourhood!" Sherry said.

When Reggie’s car and William's car stopped at MH residence, they opened the car door. At this time, Sherry saw William walking out of the vehicle, and both of them were stunned.

William ran over, "Why are you here too?"

"Ms. Mclean is missing!" Sherry explained.

But Reggie said, "Maybe she just walked out of here not long ago, I'll go find her first! Let's contact each other when we found her. Here's my phone number. Sherry, let's split up and go look for her!"

"Alright!" Sherry nodded, took a look at the business card, and put the card away.

William, however, pulled her by her hand. "You're coming with me!"

"There's no time now. It's important to find Ms. Mclean first. Darcy is also looking for her. Let's split up. It's important to find Lucille first. It'll be even harder to find her later when it's dark. I'll look over here!"

Sherry pointed to the road outside the district and started walking away.

"Sherry!" William shouted.

"Hmm?" She turned back.

"Be careful!" He instructed sharply.

"Got it!" Sherry nodded, there's no time to say anything as everyone went off to find Lucille.

Reggie ran very fast, and Sherry didn't know why he was in a hurry. But she felt suspicious because he seemed to have an unusual relationship with Lucille.

Sherry also walked very fast. She didn't miss anyone who passed by on the streets, especially when she saw a woman's figure, she would look carefully.

She kept walking until she reached an alley. Then, she suddenly heard a piercing scream coming from the alley in front of her. She immediately ran over, "Ms. Mclean, is that you?"

There was no one there? Sherry looked at the empty alley in dismay and thought that it could be a prank. But just as she turned around, she bumped into a sturdy body, and she immediately apologized, "I'm sorry."

Sherry touched her nose, which was hurt during the bump, and she apologized with tears in her eyes. When she looked up, her face became paled, "Who are you guys?"

"Man, it's another woman. This one here is much prettier than the one just now!" A tall young hooligan reached out and abruptly grabbed Sherry's arm, his lustful gaze sweeping over her hot body.

"Who are you guys?" Sherry was frightened in an instant and wondered how she could meet hooligans.

"Ah——" Another scream came from further down the alley.

It was Lucille!

Sherry's face was abnormally pale. She turned her head abruptly and saw a woman screaming from the alley. "Don't hit me, don't burn me——"

"Let her go! She's not well!" Sherry shouted anxiously, "Don't scare her."

"Ha! Let go? We men want a woman. We just got out of the police office and have a strong desire for a woman. It's been some time since we met a woman, so how can we let go when we can't easily come across one?" Another man's hoarse voice came from behind, while two tall men with bald heads and lustful faces came over.

"Hurry up and pull her in. When there's one more woman, each of us gets one. Then we could enjoy playing with them for three days!" One of them said.

Sherry's face turned paler when she heard their conversation.

"Don't burn me——" Lucille screamed, even more, struggling madly as both her and Sherry were pulled and dragged towards the inside.

Looking at the filthy hands on her arms, fear erupted in an instant, and Sherry shouted sharply, "Let go of me! You beasts, let go!"

Sherry was very frightened, and her face was already extremely pale.

"Slap!" Sherry was slapped on the face, and she became dizzy.

The one who hit her was a young hooligan. He shouted viciously, "Damn it, what are you screaming for? We will let you enjoy till you can't even make a sound!"

"Ha! Quite a hot woman, I like it!" The obscene flirting sounds made Sherry even more scared.

Sherry was dragged into a courtyard by them. Then, Lucille was brought in as well.

"Ms. Mclean!" Sherry shouted urgently.

Lucille had lost her mind, her whole body was curled up, and her clothes were torn into strands.

"What have you all done to her?" Sherry couldn't care less about the pain in her face and hugged her. "Don't be afraid. William will come to save us!"

Lucille trembled, and her body was tensed.

"Damn it, drag her into the house!" Someone grabbed Sherry.
