Chapter 144: Chapter 144

“Who’s sick?” said Susan. She was putting on a face mask when she heard Cohen Sutton yelling. She quickly ran out of the room, “Who’s at the hospital?”

Cohen turned around and looked at her. He looked in dismay, but he quickly calmed himself down, “My daughter!”

“Your daughter?” Susan was taken aback, “Since when you have a daughter?”

Cohen went into the study room and took out a document. He gave it to Susan, “Sue, you are free now. From today onwards, you can leave! We’ve been together for so many years. Even though it was because of the contract, I’m still very thankful to you for being with me. It’s time to give you back your freedom!”

Susan stared at the document in disbelief. It was indeed the contract.

She didn’t think that he would let her go and give her freedom. But... she was pregnant, and it was his child!

She always thought about leaving him, but she couldn’t believe her ears and was shocked when he really let her go.

“What? You don’t want to go?” Cohen smirked. As usual, he had a malevolent smile. “Weren’t you always thinking about that man? I’m letting you go, now go to him!”

Susan was still in shock as she took the contract from his hand. She signed that contract because of her mother back then. She didn’t feel any joy about regaining her freedom and even when that contract was in her hands now. Instead, she felt melancholic, “Why are you letting me go?”

“For the sake of my daughter!” Cohen smiled. “I don’t want my daughter to know that I have a mistress! I want to be a good father, I owe my daughter too much!”

“Is this the only reason?” asked Susan.

“I’m going to the hospital. My daughter just had a miscarriage and I want to bring her to the Sutton Family. I’ll give you this house and will ensure that Keegan Fox hand you a cheque later.”

“I don’t need it!” Susan took a deep breath, “I will leave. Thank you for giving me back my freedom!”

“Goodbye!” Cohen turned around and yelled, “Keegan, to the hospital. Now!”

Susan was left alone in the mansion. She caressed her belly subconsciously. She was pregnant with Cohen’s child. She did think about getting an abortion, but the doctor told her that it was risky for her age. If the abortion didn’t go well, she wouldn’t be able to get pregnant ever again!

At MH residence.

William knocked on the door and Darcy Mclean opened the door. Before she could even react, William hastily walked into the room. Riley was right behind him.

Darcy was confused, she wondered what happened. William was already standing in the middle of the living room and he looked angry. He glared at the Lucille who was sitting on the sofa biting her nails. William’s suit was a mess, he didn’t look as neat and gentlemanly as he always did.

Darcy thought about it, perhaps Sherry had a miscarriage?

William’s eyes were bloodshot. His gaze was fury and blazing, like searchlight probing the night sky. He glared at Darcy briefly and then locked his gaze on Lucille who was on the sofa.

Lucille only then realized that someone was here. She flinched and was already very startled from the loud noises William made as he walked into the house. She hugged a pillow tightly for protection and was trembling in fear. She hid her face behind the pillow and only her eyebrows were in sight. She peeked at William in fear.

William peered at her the whole time. He then glared at Darcy. He was enraged and he exploded in anger as he howled, “Shit, she hurt herself and was admitted to the mental hospital because of that, but you guys told me she was sexually abused. Darcy, why did you and Liam lied to me? Reggie Kelly didn’t do anything, didn’t he?”

Darcy was taken aback. She got worried, but she maintained her stance, “I don’t know what you are talking about!”

“You sure are a good actress! Go on with your act!” said William sarcastically. He scoffed, “Go on!”

Darcy knew that William was here to settle things with her and her sister. She subconsciously took a step forward and stood in front of the sofa. She said righteously, “I’m warning you, don’t hurt my sister! Her body is very fragile, so let’s talk outside and not startle her further!”

“Hmph!” William pushed Darcy away and stood right in front of Lucille，“I have something to ask her, I don’t care if she’s doing well or not! Lucille, you better snap out of it. You dare harm yourself, but you don’t dare to face the truth?”

“Ah! Don’t burn me” Lucille trembled, she repeated the same thing.

William grabbed her hand and grasped on her wrist tightly. Her wrist was as thin as paper, but William just snickered, “Burn you? Who burned you?

Tell me!”

He glared at Lucille and grabbed her chin, “Lucille, open your eyes and look at me. You bloody woman, you burn and hit yourself and act like you’re out of your mind. Stop acting! Sexual abuse? Such a joke. You harm yourself until you’ve become like this and yet you still blame someone else for it!

You are a born actress! Let me have a good look at you. Are you really crazy or are you just acting?”

Lucille was so scared she even forgot to scream after being yelled at by William. Her big eyes were filled with fear. She could only glare at William.

Though, she really seemed like she didn’t know what was happening.

Darcy who almost fell over after being pushed away, she quickly interfered, “William, stop provoking her, she is really mentally ill! She isn’t acting.

How could she be admitted to the psychiatric hospital if she wasn’t crazy? Will a normal person burn their hand? Will they harm themselves? William, get mad at me instead. Stop hurting my sister!”

“I’m hurting her?” William scoffed. “What did I do to hurt her? She was the one hurting me! Darcy, you say that she’s crazy. Then how about you? Are you crazy too? Why did you lie?”

“I didn’t lie!” growled Darcy diffidently. “William, I won’t argue with you here. My sister is frightened, please let go of her!”

At this moment, Jesse Wood and the nurses came over after hearing the noises. They were shocked at the horrible scene. But Jesse seemed delighted seeing Lucille so frightened.

Jesse glanced at the frightened Lucille. He observed the expression in her eyes and noticed that her eyes were as calm as the sea even after being yelled at so loudly. She wasn’t severely shivering anymore. Jesse was elated because that meant that Lucille still had the chance to recover from her insanity.

“Lucille, can you hear me? Why did you hurt yourself? Why? Tell me why?”

“William, don’t be so agitated. You’re frightening my sister! Let’s go outside, we’ll talk outside.” Darcy went up and grabbed William.

William flung her hand away and grabbed Lucille’s chin again. He yelled at her angrily, “Why did you get a divorce with Reggie after marrying him?

Why won’t you appreciate the people around you? Why?”

Lucille’s body was listless, and she wasn’t screaming at all. Her eyes seemed to lose focus and she turned her head slowly towards William. She frowned and quickly lowered her head.

William screamed again, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Why aren’t you yelling? Start yelling again!”

“William, don’t be like that. It was because my sister loved you a lot!” said Darcy sorrowfully, “She really loved you!”

“Love me? What a joke! I don’t need her love,” howled William furiously. He abruptly let go of Lucille and she fell onto the sofa. She grunted and curled her body into a ball.

“Darcy, why did you lie to me? You knew that she was the one who hurt herself, yet you told me that she was sexually abused by Reggie? Why?”

William bellowed at Darcy as he walked towards her. He was trembling from the anger and his eyes were more bloodshot than before. “I was so miserable because of your lies and had to atone for sins that I didn’t commit, Darcy,I was in the wrong and didn’t treat Lucille right back then. But now there’s no reason for me to redeem myself anymore because you lied to me. From now onwards, I don’t owe the Mclean family anything anymore. I won’t care about you guys anymore, it will be none of my business if you or she dies!”

“But my sister became like this because of you! She divorced Reggie because of you!”

“Why don’t you just claim that the war in Iraq is happening because of me as well? Darcy, stop scheming. Don’t think that I don’t know how devious you can be!” said William. The expression in his eyes was as cold as ice, “My principle is that I won’t ever hit a woman. But not today!”

“William!” Darcy got scared, was he really...

William swung his hand strongly at Darcy and her cheek immediately turned bright red from getting hit.

“William, how dare you hit me?” Darcy was still struggling to tell the truth. She deliberately let her sister out of the ward, but who knew that her sister would meet some hooligans while she was wandering. It was an accident!

“You deliberately let Lucy out and let her get lost on purpose so that I will take care of her, right? You fooled me twice and there will be no third time.

Shame on me for believing you! How dare I hit you? I’m telling you, I’m going to make you more miserable than this!”

“William!” Darcy was boiling with anger and lost her rationality. Nobody had ever hit her before. She started yelling without care, “You deserved it. So what if I let her out on purpose? You and Sherry deserved it, you did my sister dirty. Sherry deserves to lose her child!”

Then there was a sound of another slap. Darcy’s face was now swollen, it was what she got for being stubborn. William lost his status as a gentleman for hitting a woman, but he swore that he wouldn’t regret it!

Darcy was still screaming, “You deserve it, she deserves it. Serve you guys right!”

“You’re crazy! You guys are a bunch of crazies!” William sneered, he finally managed to calm down.

He looked at the photo album on the floor and snickered. He walked over and picked it up, he then took out his lighter and burned the album. This album was the cause of Sherry’s grieve and he would destroy it right now!

Nobody dared to say anything until the album was burned to ashes. William looked around the house that was filled with smoke and said coldly to Darcy, “You should be glad that you weren’t the one who hired those hooligans. Otherwise, I wouldn’t let you out alive today!”
