Chapter 156 Think Twice
The evil did not allow the baby to stay with Susan overnight.
Susan touched her tummy and turned to resent him, “Cohen, I hate you! Forever!”
Cohen unclenched his fists and said, “Ok.”
Keegan heard someone opening the door and ran downstairs to call Sherry soon. This time, he stood against his stepfather for the first time.
Sherry was shocked when answering the call, “Keegan, pardon?”
“Sherry, Mr. Sutton asked Ms. Gill to abort it.”
“Oh!” Sherry screamed, “How can he do it? Where are you? In the hospital? I am going there now! Please tell him not to do it! I will also call him now.”
“Sherry, they are having a talk. Ms. Gill refused it. But you don’t know Mr. Cohen well. It’s hard to change his mind. If he got to know I give you the call, he would…”
Sherry hung off the call nervously, “I am going to stop them! Please also help me!”
She turned back to see William and said, “Cohen asked Susan to terminate the baby. We have to stop them. Go quickly.”
“Um!” William was concerned about how Sherry was then; there was another day left for her. He said, “Sherry, don’t worry. I will go. You’d better stay here until the day after tomorrow.”
“No, William. I am ok now.” Sherry did not have so much break after giving birth to baby. She said, “Hurry up! We don’t have much time. If I were not going, he would ask Susan to do abortion for sure. William, the baby is my younger sister or brother; it’s my mate in the family!”
William nodded and watched Sherry with worry. It occurred to him that at that night, she lost Luke and wailed.
“Ok, I am getting your coat.” William got her coat to help her put it on and let her get into the car. “Put on your hat. Keep warm.”
Just then, Samuel and Daniel came to ask, “Mommy, where are you going?”
Sherry was getting into William’s car and said, “My dears, please stay with Gracie. Mommy has to do something now. Talk with you later.”
Daniel got an answer and said, “Mommy is going to have a date with your daddy?”
Samuel hoorayed; he turned back to see Daniel and said, “Hey Dan, don’t reject my daddy. He is my daddy as well as yours. If they get married, I will be so glad for not calling anyone else daddy.”
Samuel asked, “Would you like them to get married?”
“Sure!” Daniel nodded, “Sammy, could you please not let daddy down?”
“Yes. He made my mommy suffering too much. I will not be nice to him until I am satisfied.”
“But I think daddy loves mommy. He knew he is wrong.”
“…”
William drove his car in a high speed to G City; Sherry still urged him, “William, please be faster.”
William saw a police car chasing them and said, “Sherry, I am trying.” He believed later he would have to pay much fine for overspeed driving.
They did not care about it. They had to go to save a baby’s life.
William did not what to say, anyway he could not imagine Susan would give birth to such a younger baby for Sherry’s father.
Oh! The world really sucked!
In the hospital, the doctor did an ultrasound check-up to Susan and said, “Sir and Madam, the baby is very healthy to have strong heartbeat. It is three-month old. So, madam cannot have curettage and has to be done labor induction. Are you sure to terminate it? I am sorry if you decide. But both of you should keep it…”
Cohen was impatient to hear it, “Stop please!”
The doctor was surprised with his reaction.
“Well. Please go to the women’s clinic to pay.”
The doctor knew they determined to do it, not saying anything, but he felt it strange that they came to make it rush in the midnight.
Cohen kept silent and passed the slips to Keegan.
“Mr. Sutton…” Keegan tried to say something.
“Shut up!” Cohen stopped him.
Keegan had to go to pay and also hoped Sherry would be here soon.
Susan was too sorrowful and went blank. Cohen held her hands to the operation room of women’s clinic. The nurse led Susan, but Susan was stepping backwards to protect her baby.
“No, I won’t do it.” She shook her head hard and got rid of Cohen to run away. “No, no!”
The baby grew up in her body in the past one hundred days. Susan was too happy with it. So, she could not kill it!
The baby was all she expected in her remaining life. Susan lost her love or would not love anyone else. She had nothing left; why did Cohen still take the baby from her?
“Susan, stop!” Cohen ordered her in her back.
“Cohen, you can take my life, but you cannot take the baby! I need to keep it!” She shouted and cried out.
Cohen chased her to hold her wrist and carried her in his arms.
Susan started to kick him; on the quiet corridor of the hospital, she made much noise.
Cohen did not let her go, just locking her in his arms with his shoulders. Although being kicked, he was numb enough to ignore it.
“Cohen, I hate you! You go to the hell!”
Cohen shouted angrily to the nurse, “Please take her to the room. Quickly!”
The nurse scared him and had to come to take Susan; she had not known what happened.
Suddenly, Susan bit Cohen’s hand until it got bleeding. But Cohen did not move at all, just watching her with sympathy.
If she did it to make her feel better, he would prefer being bitten by her again.
Even this, Cohen kept her in his arms so that the nurse got Susan.
Keegan came back to see Susan’s blood on her lips as well as Cohen’s bleeding hand on which there was some tooth mark.
He could not help saying, “Mr. Sutton, please think it twice. Sherry is on the way here. She would not like you to do it.”
“Why you told her?” Cohen roared in rage.
“Cohen, please! This is your baby. How can you kill it?”
“Keegan, please help us. Please…”
Susan begged for Cohen’s kindness. She was so helpless that made everyone here not have the heart to see it.
“No! I only need Sherry.” Cohen closed his eyes with sadness. He had to do it for Sherry as well as Susan’s future. He said, “Nurse, please take her for operation.”
Susan cried like an injured little animal and was taken to the operation room. All the corridor was filled with her miserable shouting. “Cohen, you are an evil!”
She screamed in desperate just like her life would come to an end soon. She hated Cohen and kept saying, “I hate you!”
Cohen mumbled, “It’s ok.”
The door of the operation room was closed and it was quiet everywhere.
Sherry was here just that moment. She held William’s hands, “No! William, please save her!”
Hearing the voice, Cohen and Keegan turned back to see Sherry and William. Sherry ran to them out of breath and grasped Cohen’s hand, “If you asked Susan to terminate the baby, I will not call you daddy for all my life!” NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
“Sherry!” Cohen was astonished to hear it, “Why are you here?”
William and Keegan kicked the door open to see the stunned Susan lying on the bed.
Susan got up as soon as hearing the door was open.
“William, help!” she called William in a lower voice just like a drowning person trying best to get a rope.
William felt relaxed for coming here in time, “Susan, don’t worry. We are here now. Sherry and I will definitely save you and your baby! You have my brother-in-law! Don’t worry.”
Keegan had a look at William who was kidding at such a moment. But he also felt relaxed about saving the baby.
Sherry also ran to the room to see Susan; she had not yet known what she would call Susan.
She only went to cuddle Susan and told her quietly, “I’m sorry I am late. Let’s go home. I need the baby brother or sister. It’s a member of my family.”
Susan raised her head to look at the crying Sherry. She understood Sherry really worried her. Susan almost gave up the baby just then; she could not think about it again and cried, “Sherry…”
Cohen stood beside the door and saw Sherry cuddle Susan and cry. He was hesitated.
Sherry just told him if he forced Susan to terminate the baby, she would never call him daddy.
How kind the daughter was! She loved everyone of her family. Nevertheless, was it wise enough to keep the baby? Cohen stepped backwards and got a cigarette.
“Mr. Sutton.” Keegan got to see how disappointed he was, “I know Ms. Gill loves you. I never mind having a young stepmother as her. Sherry neither minds having a brother or sister younger than her own son. Why are you so insistent?”
…
William held Sherry’s hands to the restaurant on the second floor. Leon was surprised at their holding hands and started to be envious. He was always envious of any perfect couple, finally he got a girlfriend and would be engaged soon.
Leon asked, “It’s not dinner time. Would you like to have some food or coffee?”
William looked at Leon; he found Leon looked happier today than they met many days ago. He said, “No, thank you. We are here for only one question. Leon, are you going to be engaged?”
Leon was embarrassed about his question, but tried to answer him easily, “Sure. Did you receive my invitation card? Don’t forget to come.”
Sherry held William’s hand hard; William also did the same thing to her as a reply, “Leon, congrats.”
Sherry called him in a lower voice, “William.” She did not know when he was going to talk about Susan with Leon.
Leon was doubtful, “Sherry, what happened?”
William held Sherry’s waist to stop her from talking. He started first, “Leon, could we have a talk in your office? Sherry, please wait for me outside.”
Sometimes, it was easier for men to have a talk in the absence of women. Or Leon would not like to tell the truth.
“Ok!” Sherry nodded.
Leon also agreed while seeing how serious William was.
