Let Us Get A Divorce
Crystal gave birth to a baby girl.
Her name was Skyler. As she weighed less than five pounds, she was placed in the incubator right
after she was born.
Both David, his wife, and Alfred had only managed to catch one glance of the baby before they went off
to see Crystal. Crystal was switched to a VIP room. She was so weak that she lay weakly on the bed,
seemingly asleep.
Seeing that, Alfred walked over and tucked her hand under the sheets.
He silently sat by her bed and watched her like a hawk in case she woke up.
Standing outside was Melora, who had been making hundreds of phone calls for the past sixteen
hours.
All of them were for Henry.
It was only after countless phone calls did he pick up.
At that time. Henry was in the Kingdom of Brundela. He had rushed straight to the courthouse as soon
as he got off the plane. Hence, his phone was never turned on.
As soon as the legal battle was over, the court in Lostaria announced that Henry had won the case.
Joshua thanked his wife and even invited Henry to his house.
However, Henry politely declined the invitation.
While the two were squabbling, Henry pulled out his phone and smiled. “My family must be urging me
to get home.”
He turned on his phone, expecting to see a ton of missed calls from work as usual.
Maybe Crystal’s still mad at me.
To his surprise, his phone started vibrating crazily as soon as it was turned on.
He had over five hundred missed calls, and all of them were from Barnwood.
Just then, Melora’s call came through, and he quickly answered it. “What happened, Melora?”
Melora’s sobs rang through the speakers. “Henry, come home quickly. The mansion exploded… Crystal
went into premature labor. The baby’s so small… Crystal took sixteen hours to deliver her… Why did
you go to the Kingdom of Brundela? Why did you leave Crystal alone at home? Do you have any idea
what she looked like when she arrived at the hospital?” Henry froze.
He seemed to have lost the capability to move.
It just so happened that someone from a media company approached him out of nowhere, shoving the
camera in his face and excited to interview him.
Henry could only push them away rudely and march out frantically. There was a private car waiting
outside the courthouse to send him to the airport. It had a bouquet of white roses on the backseat-a gift
he wanted to give Crystal when he got back.
He figured maybe it would appease her.
Deep down, he knew things were over between them.
Henry staggered and stumbled throughout the journey home, overwhelmed by shock.
Twenty hours had passed by the time Henry got to see Crystal.
She wore a hospital gown and stood outside the hospital’s neonatal unit, watching the baby through the
glass.
It had only been three days, but she had lost a lot of weight.
The gown draped over her as if she were nothing. From the side, her face looked sharp and as small
as a palm.
She was in good shape before that.
Right then, Henry croaked, “Crystal!”
Although Crystal maintained her posture without moving, her body stiffened.
She knew that he had returned, but she did not know how to react.
To be more specific, she did not know how she should treat him. Even her tears were not forming.
Henry approached her slowly, removed his coat, and draped it over her. “You’ve just given birth.
There’ll be aftereffects if you catch a cold.”
To Henry’s surprise, she pulled the black coat away, letting it fall to the ground.
Seeing that, Henry picked it up in silence. That was when he noticed the scrawny baby lying still in the
incubator, looking slightly pale.
Crystal’s faint voice sounded. “The doctor says her survival rate is less than ten percent.”
A pain shot through Henry’s heart.
Both he and Crystal had been looking forward to the child’s birth. And now, the baby was lying alone in
the incubator instead of her mother’s arms, and her fate was uncertain.
Holding Crystal’s shoulders, he said, “I will- Crystal whipped around and slapped him on the face, her
chest rising and falling as she huffed angrily. “You will what? Think of a way to save her? Where have
you been, Henry?”
Henry endured the slap in silence.
After all, he would rather let Crystal scold and hit him at that moment.
Crystal, however, said nothing after that. She simply stood still and watched Skyler because she only
had half an hour to do so each day. The doctor would not allow her to visit her daughter outside of
those hours.
Oh, Skyler… I’m willing to trade my life for hers.
Once again, Henry draped the coat over Crystal and hugged her tightly when she tried to pull it away.
“Don’t move, Crystal!”
Just like her, his gaze was also fixed on the child.
Skyler was rather pretty.
Like Crystal, the baby had a set of nicely shaped brows.
Crystal was not strong enough to push Henry away, but she figured she needed to make things clear
with him. “Henry, you’re never around when I need you. You’re always busy with Audrey’s matters like
the Rh- negative blood and the divorce lawsuit. Is she the one who can’t leave you or are you trying to
create a perfect ending for your relationship with her? My child’s life shouldn’t be risked for this. What
makes you. think you have the right to say you want to spend the rest of your life with me when you’ve
never put me first?” she uttered all that calmly.
To Henry, it was like a torture.
Crystal was not hysterical because she had no energy to do so. In fact, she did not want to kick up a
fuss with him.
Calmly, she said, “So what if we love each other? How strong do I have to be mentally to be with you?
If I continue to be with you, I’ll be doing both me and this child a disservice. How about we talk about
the divorce when the child’s better? I don’t have the energy or the mood to talk about it with you now.”
Henry continued hugging her, feeling as if he was hugging an iceberg.
Just then, the blinds in front of the windows rolled down, and Crystal could no longer see her child.
Unable to see her child, Crystal turned around to face him. “We can’t avoid meeting each other
because of Skyler, but please don’t utter those sweet nothings to me. It’s disgusting.”
Henry’s face turned as pale as sheet.
Right then, Alfred walked over.
He had a coat in his hand, and he quickly placed it over Crystal’s shoulders upon seeing her. “I’ve been
looking all over the place for you! Why are you wearing so little? What if you catch a cold?”
Crystal walked off with him silently.
Throughout the exchange, Alfred seemed oblivious to Henry’s presence. Hence, the latter called out
anxiously, “Uncle Alfred!”
Alfred halted in his tracks and turned around. There was a forced smile on his usually elegant face, and
he uttered sarcastically, “I thought you only remember Joshua.”
With that, Alfred walked away with Crystal, leaving Henry standing rooted to the spot and clenching his
fists. If one were to ask him what he regretted the most in his life, it would be going to the Kingdom of
Brundela and leaving Crystal alone at home.
In the next second, the Millers approached him.
David swung his hand and slapped his son twice in front of his wife and his daughter.
With bloodshot eyes, he cursed, “You b*stard!”
A teary-eyed Julia tried to stop David, but the latter pushed her away.
David could not be bothered to maintain his reputation in a crowded hospital. He took off his shoes and
hit his only son. “Do you have any idea how much danger your wife was in? She tried calling you, but
your phone was off. If she hadn’t called Alfred, we wouldn’t have known that the place had exploded.
Both Crystal and the baby could’ve died. Even the housekeepers are seriously injured. Where the hell
were you? Crystal was in labor for sixteen hours. She risked her life to give birth to your child! You
b”stard! I swear I’m going to beat you to death today!”
Julia could not stop her husband anymore.
Even Melora was sobbing at the side. “Henry, if you don’t love her, you should let her go.”
Those words stunned Henry.
Do I not love her?
The truth was, he loved her. He was sure of that, but he still left her at home and flew over to Kingdom
of Brundela.
And now, Crystal was the one who did not want him anymore.
