Chapter 174 The Truth


    “We don’t need to think back. I appreciate what I have suffered which made me stronger. So, all of


    these belong to you, not me!”


    Ashley still tried to say, “Sherry…”


    Sherry shook her head, “Thank you so much! I am satisfied with what I have now. Happiness cannot be


    measured by money; more money might not bring more happiness. My mommy did not have any fun in


    her life. At the beginning, I think she might be happier after marrying your daddy. But it seems not to be


    the same as I think. Now, both of them left the world; it doesn’t matter who is correct. Anyway, Ashley,


    have courage.”


    She knew Ashley was thest one of her family in the world. Ashley was only twenty-two years old;


    how would she continue to operate such a bigpany? But she also understood humans were


    always able to be powerful in difficulties; Ashley would definitely make it.


    “Sherry, money neither means so much to me. You are thest one of our family; I just would like to


    keep you. Without daddy and Sierra, you are the only one to me!” Ashley would not like to lose her


    elder sister Sherry. That’s why she decided to give shares of thepany to Sherry.


    “You have Leon. He is a really nice guy!” Sherry said.


    Ashley shook her head to say, “No! We broke up long time ago.”


    Then she had some coffee in a rush, but it caused a cough and soon was followed a nausea, “Sorry…”


    Ashley covered her mouth to run to the restroom. Sherry stopped to think for a while and started to


    worry about something; she followed Ashley to see her.

    Ashley vomited much by the washing basin. Something urred to Sherry just then.


    “Ashley, do you have a baby in your tummy?”


    Ashley raised her head to look at herself so sick in the mirror. She hesitated to answer but finally she


    did not deny it, “Yes. Sherry, please keep the secret for me.”


    Sherry asked, “Leon?”


    “Yes.” Ashley answered quietly.


    Then they went back to the table. Ashley said, “He doesn’t love me. I know he loves someone else. So,


    I hate to be with a man not loving me. Even if I have the baby, I still let him go. Sherry, don’t tell anyone


    else. Ok?”


    Sherry said with great worry, “Is it good to the kid if you don’ tell Leon?”


    Ashley answered, “It’s my kid! Nothing to do with him.” She touched her tummy, “I have one family


    member other than you!”


    Sherry had a sigh with nothing to talk. If Leon did not love Ashley, how could they live together? Even if


    they lived together, how could they live for the whole life?


    Ashley passed the form for transferring shares to Sherry, “Sherry, please ept it.”


    Sherry returned it back.


    “Sherry!”


    “I will not ept it. Please don’t talk again! I am going to the graveyard. I didn’t attend her funeral; now


    I hope it not toote to see her now. Take care!” Sherry was standing up to go.


    “It’s ok. Sierra would be much happy with it.”


    ***


    Sherry was silent aftering back from the graveyard.


    Everything was stopped since Sierra died. William would not propose to her one more time.


    Cohen did not attend Sierra’s funeral or go to see itter. Nobody understood his mind.


    Susan was also quiet; it was unusually quiet in the house.


    Daniel had transferred to a school only enrolling boys; he would not have sses with girlster at


    school. Sherry was also worried Daniel would not like to have sses with girls in the future, but she


    finally agreed once thinking that girls around him would bother him too much.


    She had a couple of quiet days.


    But Sherry received a letter.


    She was surprised to see the envelop without sender’s address and name. She was greatly doubtful


    about the sender.


    Opening the letter, she read the printed letter on which some information about her father rk’s car


    ident was given.


    The car ident eight years ago…


    In the ident, the other driver she had not seen was William.


    Sherry was shocked!


    William had something to do with her daddy’s death.


    Sherry was stunned by those happening.


    William got a cup of milk toe and saw the stunning Sherry. He did not know why she was like that


    and asked, “Sherry, what happened? Someone sent you a letter?”


    “Yes.” Sherry went nk in her mind, turning around to look at William.


    “Sherry?” William realized Sherry was upset and asked, “What happened?”


    He knew this was not an easy problem from her eyes.


    Sherry stared at him to ask, “William, do you remember the car ident eight years ago?”


    William did not expect this question and looked at Sherry with great shock. His face turned paler and


    hands started to shiver. He was trying to control his emotion of feeling guilty.


    He asked surprisingly, “Sherry, how did you know it?”


    Sherry watched William and knew what he was thinking, “You also know it? Did you know it on the day


    back from graveyard?”


    She got to understand why he looked so nervous and why he was almost crazy when they were


    making love. He was afraid she would go after knowing everything.


    However…


    Sherry asked, “Why didn’t tell me at that moment?”


    Several minutester, William turned to look at Sherry with guilt and answered, “The ident… I was


    the driver who caused the ident…Your daddy lost his life for me; Lucille cannot have a baby


    anymore for me…”


    Sherry was angry and clenched her fists. She tried best to get calm and asked, “Why did you ask the


    policeman to confirm my daddy was drunk driving? Do you know my daddy had never drank alcohol?”


    “No, I didn’t.” William said with doubt. “I didn’t ask the policeman to do it. I just let him protect me; he


    helped me solve all the problems. I have ever believed morepensation will make me forget


    everything. But in fact, Sherry, I am always feeling guilty these years.”


    Sherry said coldly, “Tell me why? I need to know the truth!”


    The letter shocked her much; she almost stopped breathing for all she got to know today.


    “Lucille and I had some wine on that day. On the way home near the winding road, a truck loading


    sands was driven in the opposite direction on thene. Lucille told me its driver mistakenly upied


    thene we were on and asked me to avoid it. I should avoid the truck. But I did not control my temper


    well after drinking, instead, I was driving to push it back to the correctne. We don’t know the truck


    driver also had alcohol. As soon as I saw it lose control toe to us, it was toote; I turned the


    steering wheel but still had a crash. Lucille was hit on her tummy and got uterine rupture. That driver


    was hit out from the front window for not fastening the safety belt. At the same time, the truck rolled


    down along the mountain, which hurt the driver in the middle; finally, he died for being rolled by the


    truck.


    Sherry asked more, “You mean my daddy hit himself to death?”


    The car ident happened when she was a teenager. Only Sierra was involved in all the procedures to


    deal with it. Sherry knew nothing about the truth; anyway, she knew her daddy never drank alcohol.


    “No. Sherry, I didn’t mean it. I didn’t pass the buck. It’s my fault! If I controlled myself to avoid him, he


    would not die.”


    William had been feeling sorry for Lucille for years due to the ident; besides, he also went to the


    graveyard to mourn rk sometimes.


    “Sherry, whatever, I am the ident maker. Your daddy died for me!” William’s voice was full of regret


    and guilt. “I’m so sorry to you and your daddy!”


    “Stop!” Sherry turned to look at the outside of the window. She refused to ask about the truth from the


    policemen in the past years. She hated to remind herself how miserably her daddy died. To her great


    astonishment, today Sherry got to know her daddy died for her deeply loving man!


    She did not judge whose fault it was.


    Her daddy had never drunk.


    After the car ident, Sierra told her that the driver was too prestigious to interrupt much, but they got


    double paid aspensation which was used to cure Luke.


    “Sherry!” Lowering his head with guilty, William talked sadly just like losing all the energy of his life, “At


    that time, doctor confirmed infertility in Lucille; she tried to suicide several times. So, I had to stay with


    her and could not see you. I asked my assistant to deal with it. I know I was exining now…”


    “Stop! I don’t want to see you anymore! Go away.” Sherry was not care about the following words.


    “Sherry…” William tried to talk more but was stopped by Sherry. She continued to say, “Stop! I don’t


    want to hear any exnation. Go ahead.”


    William had to leave her then.


    The door was closed. Sherry closed her eyes and burst into tears soon. She had too shadow in her


    heart even there was great sunshine outside.


    Several hourster, she would like to go to the graveyard.


    Opening the door, she just saw William standing outside and looked at her carefully. “Sherry…”


    Sherry ran passing him and left him in a rush. She had to leave as soon as possible just for controlling


    her tears, or she was afraid she would turn around to see him in a second.


    Finally, William got to hold her arms and said to her out of breath, “Sherry, please! You said you will not


    leave me forever.”


    Sherry turned around to see his red eyes. William held her arms tightly just like she would disappear


    once he let her go.


    ***


    Sherry used all her power to control the tears, saying, “William, let me go!”


    “You said you will not leave me! Whatever happens will not take you away from me!” William did not


    know what to do, just saying, “Sherry, I know I made the ident. I am ming myself for these years.”


    “I didn’t see how much you med yourself! I only know you killed my daddy! My daddy died in the


    ident! My daddy was gone!” Sherry gave a bitter smile and said, “Please leave me alone. Don’t


    bother me!"
