Set Her Free
Henry did not dodge the object.
A trickle of crimson fresh blood flowed down his face.
Alfred did not seem to care about it. He merely stood in front of Henry and fumed, “Henry, have you
thought about the consequences of your actions? Can Crystal handle it? If… If the child is really gone,
you’ll have no way out! I’m telling you, you’re as good as dead! Completely and utterly dead!”
Henry slowly closed his eyes. “I know! I already know that!”
He had no other choice.
Crystal hated him, and he couldn’t give her anything. He simply couldn’t bear to see her suffer
anymore. If a different environment can make her better, then I will… set her free.
Alfred stayed quiet, but his silence told Henry that he had agreed to it.
After wiping away the blood from his forehead, Henry got up to leave.
The moment the door closed, Alfred exploded with rage. He swept the documents onto the floor,
yelling. “That lunatic! Why did he take so f*cking long to do what he should have done when he loved
her so much?”
Alfred sat down dejectedly as he cursed, his eyes red,
Nevertheless, deep down, he knew that by doing so, Crystal’s life would be saved.
Henry returned to the ward.
With Crystal constantly watching the child, he wondered if she could even get three hours of sleep
every day.
She was slowly exhausting her life for the child.
Upon making that hard decision, he felt horrible. That was a feeling that he had never felt before, until
now.
He was a husband, a father, yet he didn’t do a very good job.
It was him who allowed her to become the way she was.
He embraced her.
This might very well be the last time that he could openly hold her that tightly.
Naturally, Crystal did not allow it.
Henry held on to her for dear life. With his chin on her shoulder, he whispered, “Let me hold you for a
while, just this once. Crystal… don’t push me away!”
Feeling her strength leaving her, she stayed completely still in his embrace.
He felt as if he were hugging a block of ice, but that didn’t stop him from longingly leaning against her
neck. As he savored her scent, countless memories of their beautiful time together flooded his mind.
Clearly, he loved her.
She was the first woman he had been intimated with.
He had provided her with what she needed at home, showered her with various gifts to please her,
fought with Robert for her, and even got jealous of Seth, Ritchie, and Pete. Every time she cried, he felt
his heart ache, and every time she left, he regretted it.
Clearly, he loved her.
Henry kissed the ends of her hair, his voice slightly quivering when he uttered, “Crystal, I love you.”
Crystal froze.
It didn’t matter to her whether he loved her or not anymore.
She didn’t respond to him, which made him hug her even tighter. Feeling uncomfortable and in pain,
she said hoarsely, “You’re hurting me!”
“I’m hurting too! Crystal, I’m in pain too!”
In the past, she would constantly feel sorry for him, but now, no matter how much he suffered, she
remained apathetic.
Not long after, the nurse came in with the medicine, and the scene made her feel somewhat awkward.
She hastily put down the medicine and walked away.
Henry focused his attention on the two pills on the tray. They were supposed to be Crystal’s
antidepressant pills. However, that day, they were replaced with sleeping pills.
As long as she took them, she would sleep soundly for more than ten hours.
Henry gradually let her go.
“It’s time to take your medication, Crystal.”
Crystal did not object to taking the medication. She was aware that she was ill and was eager to
accept. treatment. She quickly swallowed the two pills with warm water.
It did not take long for drowsiness to slowly set in.
The exhaustion that consumed her was not a feeling she had experienced before. She felt that she
could sleep for a lifetime.
“Henry…
Why am I so sleepy?
Her body gradually weakened, and she was caught in his arms.
He placed her on the small bed and looked at her in silence..
Crystal was a hundred and ten pounds before her pregnancy, but now she was only around eighty
pounds. There seemed to be just bones left in her entire body. Her face was so thin it was
heartbreaking.
Henry gently stroked her face, sensing her warmth.
He removed the necklace from her neck only after a long time.
The ring he had given her was on it.
Only when she was asleep could he slide the diamond ring on her ring finger.
For a moment, they were finally a real married couple,
Henry lay down and hugged her. He buried his face in her neck, which was moist with tears after some
time. How he wished he could freeze time at this very moment.
Skyler was fine, and he and Crystal were still husband and wife.
Crystal slept for twenty-four hours straight.
Her mind was blank when she slowly opened her eyes, but her body appeared to have a mind of its
own as she got up and ran toward the glass window.
Skyler… How is Skyler doing?
She froze when she looked over.
All the equipment had been removed, and the incubator was empty, leaving only a tiny blanket used to
swaddle Skyler lying there..
The little child named Skyler Miller was not there.
When Crystal came to her senses, tears streamed down her face. She slammed the glass door and
muttered Skyler’s name.
“Skyler… Oh, Skyler…”
Mommy’s right here. Where have you been, Skyler?
A warm figure embraced her. Henry’s lips brushed against her hair. He held her tightly, stopping her
from moving and injuring herself. “Skyler… is gone.”
Crystal’s entire body stiffened.
She blinked a few times, tears welling up in her eyes as she struggled to see clearly.
She couldn’t believe it.
How could Skyler be gone when all she did was sleep?
She frantically pounded on the glass and didn’t stop even when her hand was already swollen.
Everything seemed to be an illusion to her, a mere dream.
She was sure Skyler would still be there if she woke up from her dream.
No sooner had she thought that than she began furiously smashing things, praying that the noise would
awaken her from her sleep. This has to be a dream!
Henry held onto her, watching as everything in the ward was completely destroyed.
His arms were covered in blood.
Looking at the scene before her, Crystal eventually accepted the harsh reality. Her Skyler was no
longer there. She was gone from the world..
“Crystal, you need to calm down!” Henry held her with all his might.
Crystal went crazy. He slapped the man in the face a few times before choking out, “Henry… Skyler is
gone! She is gone!”
Henry endured it all.
He knew how Crystal hated him, but all he could do was endure all of it.
He held her close as if taking in the last traces of warmth between them.
A long while later, the dazed Crystal asked in a barely audible tone, “Where is she? I want to see her.”
Skyler is so little. She must be terrified.
Henry didn’t want her to leave because he was concerned she’d become emotional again. “Let’s wait a
day. You need to rest right now.”
Nevertheless, Crystal was adamant.
“I want to go, Henry! She is my child. I want to see her!”
In the evening, as the sun set, the tall trees at the Miller family’s cemetery cast shadows across the
land.
A slightly raised patch of soil could be seen next to the new grave of Old Mrs. Miller.
Crystal raced out of the car, stumbling along the way.
The second she spotted the patch of freshly dug-up dirt, she stopped in her tracks. Her legs gave out,
causing her to fall to her knees. As she trembled, she scooped up a handful of dirt.
It was fresh and moist, with a few tender sprouts sticking out.
Crystal finally understood at that point.
Skyler was truly gone.
