Betrayal
There was nothing the specialists could do.
In the end, Crystal woke up on her own..
It was a beautiful spring night….
After Henry had a discussion with the specialists, he was outside the ward when he heard Crystal’s
voice. It was indeed her voice, albeit a little weak.
His heart skipped a beat.
He had never wanted to see someone so badly.
Henry quickened his pace and opened the door gently.
Crystal was leaning against the headboard and chatting with Anna. She had lost quite a bit of weight.
Henry felt the urge to protect her when he saw how thin she had become. Unfortunately, Crystal’s smile
disappeared when she saw him.
Awkwardness filled the air…
Anna got up uneasily and said, “Why don’t the two of you have a chat?”
However, Crystal tugged at a corner of Anna’s clothes and whispered, “Mom, I want to eat oatmeal!”
Anna looked at her adoringly and said, “Sure. I’ll go and buy it for you. Just wait for a while.”
Then, Anna left.
Henry walked into the room and stood next to Crystal. He was so close to her. Yet, he dared not touch
her.
It was a rather complicated feeling.
Crystal was very calm and polite. “I heard you help me look for doctors. Thank you, Mr. Miller.
“You’re welcome.”
He eyed her with desire, and his voice had already turned hoarse.
Crystal looked at him before saying slowly, “It’s just that there’s no need for you to do this! Don’t worry
about what Madison said. It’s all in the past. Since the day we parted ways, all these have nothing to do
with you anymore!”
Henry was a top-notched lawyer.
In the courtroom, he could outtalk anyone. However, at that moment, he did not know what to say
He thought that breaking up with Crystal was a dignified thing to do, but it had brought loads of pain to
her!
Henry left the ward, but he did not leave the hospital. Instead, he sat inside hus golden Bentley
Continental and smoked in silence.
Crystal and he met when they were both adults. It lacked the excitement of teenage love. Therefore,
Henry had always handled their relationship so effortlessly. There was no doubt he liked Crystal but not
to the extent of love. At least when they parted ways, he managed to throw the check to her without
any hesitation!
However, when Crystal took the check and walked out of his life, he realized that the worst thing would
be to find out that she belonged to someone else one of these days.
She might fall for another man the way she used to fall for him!
Henry leaned back in his seat and looked up before he gulped. He had always said that Crystal didn’t
have what it took to be a player. It turned out that he was no better!
Henry stayed in the car for the entire night.
In the early morning, he put out his cigarette and strode out of the car.
He went up the stairs and walked to the ward.
Crystal was already up and taking her temperature. Dressed in the loose hospital gown with the
thermometer in her mouth, she looked like a small, injured animal.
When she saw him, there was only indifference in her eyes.
Henry walked over and removed the thermometer. It read thirty-six degrees Celsius.
Crystal looked up at him.
It was then Henry said in his hoarse voice, “Come with me!”
With that, he carried her up before she could resist and walked out of the ward.
Crystal was dumbstruck.
By the time she returned to her senses, she began to hit his shoulders. “Henry, what are you doing?”
He allowed her to hit him because that little bit of pain meant nothing to him….
Just then, the nurse came to collect the thermometer, and she got a shock as well. “Mr. Miller, where
are you taking the patient to?”
Henry pretended not to hear her.
He quickly carried Crystal downstairs and into the car before fastening the seatbelt for her and locking
the door.
Crystal could no longer remain calm.
“Henry, you’re crazy!”
After fastening his own seatbelt, Henry said softly, “I’ll send you back here later!”
It was only then Crystal stopped struggling…
“Henry, there’s no point in you doing all these. It won’t change anything! I’d rather you leave without
hesitation than have such entanglement!”
Back when she asked him for the check, her intention was to cut all ties with him once and for all!
Everything between them had been consensual, so they were supposed to part on good terms.
Isn’t this what he wants?
Crystal stopped talking and looked out the window….
After a while, Henry drove off. Judging from the route, Crystal could tell that he was heading to his
condominium. True enough, they arrived at his condominium half an hour later.
He then forcefully carried her into the condominium.
No matter how much Crystal had mentally prepared herself, she was still taken aback when the door
opened…
The piano, Morning Dew, was there.
The baroque curtains, blue vase, and their couple house slippers were all there…
It looked exactly the way it was when she was staying there. In fact, he had even restored the black
theme of Valentine’s Day.
All these were evidence of her love for him!
Pain assailed Crystal’s heart!
What’s the meaning of this? Does he think that I will be moved?
Henry embraced her from the back and kissed her soft earlobe. “Crystal… Let’s start anew! We’ll stay
here together just like how we used to. I promise I’ll be good to you this time. I won’t let you down! I’ll
find the best doctor to treat your leg. You won’t have any regrets!”,
Crystal thought that there was no more tears since that night.
Now that she saw all these in front of her, she felt like crying again, but it was not because she was
moved. It was out of sadness that she felt like tearing up. Everything in front of her reminded her of the
love she used to have for this man. How she had waited for him every night, and how she wanted a
future with
him.
Yet, every single time, he chose to stay with Audrey!
Regrets…
That word was not enough to describe her feelings that night.
She had lost her father, her dreams, and the trust she had for her lover!
On that deepest, darkest night, she was utterly disappointed with him!
Henry gazed at her passionately before getting down on one knee. There was a perfect diamond ring in
his hand, and it was even more sparkling than the previous one.
Crystal froze.
At that instant, she felt weak.
Henry kissed her fingertips and said hoarsely, “Crystal, I spent a week trying to convince the Irushea
antique dealer to sell Morning Dew to me! Once your leg has recovered, we’ll play the piano together at
home! I can play for you! Crystal… Please let me take care of you forever! I’ll spend every Valentine’s
Day, New Year, Christmas, and birthday with you. We’ll be together! Since you like children, we can
have a few!”
He wanted to settle down with her!
Henry had never wanted to get married that much!
He held her fingertips and gently put the ring onto her ring finger… That perfect diamond ring was
perfect on her.
Just then, Crystal pulled her hand back.
She did not want him to put the ring on her!
Henry froze and looked up slowly…
Crystal said calmly, “I’m very touched! Really! If a man does all these for me, I know he means it. But,
Henry, once a heartbreaker, always a heartbreaker! Furthermore, you have cheated on me so many
times before! Henry, it’s over between us. It’s not a matter if you love me or not, but… I don’t intend to
love you.”
Henry got up slowly and lowered his gaze at Crystal…
There was something on her face, and it made her look so adorable under the morning light. However,
she was adamant. “Send me back to the hospital. I don’t want to alarm anyone!”
Henry reached out to caress that soft and smooth face of hers.
All of a sudden, he grabbed the back of her head and kissed her on her lips. Before she could react, his
tongue slipped in….
He wanted to kiss her and make her remember everything they did before-how passionate he used to
be.
There is no way Crystal would forget all these!
A slap landed on that handsome face of his….
Crystal’s eyes had turned red. Trying to catch her breath, she said, “Henry, don’t let me despise you!
It’s over between us. Now and forever… It’s over. Do you understand me?”
