Chapter 198 A Diary
Chapter 198 A Diary
He must have been unhappy all these years. He had been guilty after Lucille's illness. The years have made William hide his true nature. He was supposed to be very youthful and sunny, and a very kind man -
The Brooks family.
Liam brought Sarah back.
Joshua and Mrs. Brooks finally knew what was going on.
Sarah didn't speak, and it was Liam who kept talking.
Mrs. Brooks was in tears as she listened. She had no idea that her daughter had suffered so much. She immediately ran over and took Sarah's hand, but before she could say anything, tears welled up. "Sarah, why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you say anything when something so big happened?"
Sarah lowered her head. Because of her mother's words, she immediately burst into tears. "Mum ..."
Joshua was surprised that Sarah had given birth to a baby and that baby was missing. He was scolded by his wife and blamed himself. If he wasn't so conservative, if he wasn't usually so stern, maybe he'd have several grandchildren by now!
"Dad, I'm going to marry Sarah no matter what. And the baby missed, I'm going to call the police and track down the truth about what happened back then!" Liam said seriously to Joshua.
Liam told Joshua what had happened and then he immediately sent men from the police station to look for the doctor from the private practice in G City.
Sarah didn't say anything. She just sat on the sofa and cried.
Once he saw how sad Sarah was crying, Joshua blamed himself even more. "Sarah, don't cry. I will get the baby back! But it is not so easy to find someone when there are so many people. It takes time!"
It was a week later in the blink of an eye.
Lucille was discharged from the hospital.
Darcy was buried a week later. While sorting through her belongings, Lucille found a diary. It was Darcy's. And Lucille was dumbfounded when she saw this diary. Deep guilt welled up, and it was a deep sense of guilt. Darcy really went too far.
She could not have imagined that things would be like this.
Holding the diary, her heart was filled with guilt for William, for Liam, and, to her surprise, Peter. Why was this happening? What should she do?
Lucille held the diary that Darcy had left in her hands in disbelief. The diary really shook her too much.
"Darcy, why did you do this?" Lucille murmured. Teardrops were streaming down one by one. The soreness and guilt slowly piled up in her heart.
"Lucille?" Reggie asked as he walked in to see her crying just in time. "Don't be sad. You're still very weak." Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Lucille looked back at him. Looking at the handsome face in front of her, she suddenly felt that she was not good enough for him. Reggie was so kind, and she...
Tears fell from her eyes. Lucille just felt sad and thought it was all so funny. She had indirectly become a sinner. What Darcy did made her feel so guilty.
"Reggie!" Lucille had suppressed her emotion and said in a hoarse voice. She clutched his arm tightly and flung herself into his arms. She kept crying, and her tears soaked his suit in a few moments.
With her heart aching with grief, Lucille sobbed. Suddenly she let go of Reggie's hand and looked at him with teary eyes, "Reggie, why do you like a bad woman like me?"
Reggie just looked at her quietly, "Do you need a reason to like someone?"
Think about Darcy, she loved Liam so morbidly. Was there a reason? And was Liam really that good? No, right? He was just a man, and Lucille was just a woman. Like was like. And how could one possibly explain it?
"Reggie, women like Darcy and I deserve to go to hell!" Lucille thought of all the things she had done. She had complicated relationships with several men. It was only because of the imbalance in her heart that she blamed William, but at this moment, she realized that it was she and her sister who were the sinners.
"There's nothing better than to learn from your mistakes!" Reggie embraced Lucille and soothed her softly. "Come on, don't cry and don't think about it. When we've buried Darcy, we'll go to France! We'll start a new life from then on."
"Reggie! I've lost my chance to be a mother. Will you still want to marry me? You might not have children for the rest of your life." How could she agree to go with him? Was she too selfish?
He looked at her sadly, "Lucille, I don't care!"
Lucille choked with sobs and her body shuddered. Looking at the familiar concern in his eyes, Lucille could no longer repress it. She threw herself at him, wrapped her arms tightly around Reggie's neck, and buried her cheek in his shoulder. Hot tears continued to fall from her eyes and slide into the crook
of his neck. The burning tears stung Reggie's skin and seemed to draw out the deepest feelings in his heart.
Lucille cried out in pain while the familiar scent of him lingered around her. She sobbed uncontrollably and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. Let her indulge one last time!
She had been so selfish like that. How could a woman like her be at peace with the love he gave her? A man of his kindness and such warmth was fit for a better woman.
And she would have to go to confession for the rest of her life.
‘Darcy, I will go to confession for you, and for myself.’
Just let her indulge one last time and let her crave his warmth once more. As long as she gave up, he could be happy for the rest of his life, still have children, and live happily ever after. And she didn't know which day she would suddenly become selfish again and not even recognize herself.
Looking at her pained and grief-stricken face at the moment, Reggie could only reach out his hand and comfort her. Feeling his large hands behind her as he suddenly wrapped them around her, Lucille shuddered and hugged Reggie tightly. This was the last time!
After letting her cry for a long time, Reggie finally said, "It's okay! This is the last time. Don't cry anymore!"
"Okay!" It was the last time she would cry.
Wiping away her tears, Lucille sobbed and looked up, only to find that Reggie's shoulders were already soaked with her tears. Even his neck was stained with her tears. Feeling a little embarrassed, Lucille looked up uneasily but found his eyes falling on her face instead.
"It's time to rest. You get some rest. It's the funeral tomorrow. Let Darcy go in peace. Don't cry, okay?" Reggie picked her up and took a giant stride towards her room.
Lucille curled up and felt his warmth once more. She turned her face slightly to the side and pressed her cheek against his chest, listening to the sound of his heartbeat. And suddenly, Lucille felt so greedy. She coveted his scent, his warmth -
On the day of Darcy's funeral, everyone still arrived.
William, Liam, Sarah, Reggie, Leon, Peter all came, except Sherry. To protect her, William did not tell her. He knew she was kind and would have cried her eyes out, so he didn't ask her to come.
Everyone watched as Darcy was buried until her coffin was covered with slabs and buried.
Sarah suddenly looked agitatedly at the picture on the tombstone and shouted, "Darcy, why are you doing this to me? Where is my child? Where have you stolen my child?"
She suddenly became emotional, causing everyone to freeze. And Liam immediately hugged her for support.
These days, Sarah was in a state of confusion since she knew her baby was alive but couldn't be found. She couldn't eat or sleep well. She just wanted to know where the baby was and how he was doing!
No one noticed that Peter's body trembled and then he calmed down.
And Lucille said at that moment, "Sarah, I'm sorry! I know saying sorry won't make up for the pain in your heart, and I know Darcy hurt you. But please, for the sake of her being dead, forgive her!"
"Lucille, how do you expect me to forgive her? My baby is gone! She's dead once and for all. What about me? What about my child? What am I going to do?" Sarah's yell made William freeze. He hadn't been aware of what was happening.
When it came to the baby, William seemed to understand a little, but he was also shocked. How did Sarah have a baby? What was going on?
Lucille took Sarah's hand in his. "Sarah, the baby is alive. The baby is healthy. Forgive me for not knowing where the baby is until last night!"
"You know where my baby is?" Sarah looked up in dismay.
"Lucille, do you really know?" Liam also got excited and was afraid he had heard wrong.
Lucille nodded and glanced at Peter. But he just turned his head away without speaking.
Lucille was a little disappointed, but also had a twinge of heartache. She turned to Liam, William, and Sarah and said, "Liam, Sarah, William, I want you to stop, especially William. I hope you're holding up after hearing what I'm about to say."
A wave of unease welled up in William's heart, but he nodded calmly. "Go ahead!"
"Liam and Sarah's baby, the one Darcy stole from them, is Sammy who was at William's side. That baby is Liam and Sarah's." The three of them were startled when Lucille uttered the words.
William looked like he had been struck by lightning, "What, what did you say?"
