There Is No Turning Back
Alfred raised his chin and narrowed his eyes. “You’re just a kid, yet you think you can stick your nose
into grown-up matters?”
With that, he coolly walked away with his bodyguards.
Melora was quite afraid of him.
At that moment, Audrey screamed, “Dad! Your hand…
Joshua rolled over and sat up.
He looked at his injured hand. It was now broken and rendered useless for his artistic pursuits.
The pain was so excruciating that he nearly lost consciousness.
He felt that Krystal was punishing him even after her death.
Melora didn’t like them at all, but she was saved by him when she was a child. She helped Joshua call
for a doctor but refused to speak to them.
In a quivering voice, Joshua asked, “Melora, do you also think I’ve committed some unforgivable sin? I
just thought that Crystal and Audrey are sisters, so Henry is considered Audrey’s brother-in-law.
Helping family should be the right thing to do.”
Melora wanted to speak, but she choked on her words several times.
Finally, she took a deep breath and said, “What do you mean by the right thing to do? You know very
well that Audrey has feelings for my brother, but you keep indulging her and giving her opportunities to
cause misunderstandings! You’re just biased and hell-bent on pushing Audrey toward my brother… Mr.
Quinn, my parents may be too polite to say it, but I’ll be clear with you today. We can’t accept a
promiscuous girl like Audrey who has such a messy life. By the way, you might not know this, but my
brother broke up with her because he caught her in bed with her fitness coach, and the floor was
littered with used condoms…. Mr. Quinn, isn’t that shocking?”
Joshua’s face turned pale.
He looked at his adopted daughter, feeling heartbroken.
He had always thought she was a bit spoiled but otherwise quite pure and innocent. He had no idea
she was such a promiscuous woman.
“You’re lying!” Audrey said through gritted teeth.
Melora rolled her eyes. “You know deep down it’s true! Go get checked by a gynecologist. Maybe
you’ve been infected by STDs for a long time! By the way, stop coming around. We’re disgusted by
your presence! If I see you again, I’ll call Mr. Lodge!”
Melora vented all her frustrations.
It felt good, but when she thought of Crystal and little Skyler, her eyes turned red as she turned away.
Inside the ward, Henry tried to talk to Crystal after everyone left, but she still refused to communicate
with him.
She turned her back to him.
Henry stared at her for a long time before leaving silently.
He went to visit Anna.
Anna’s leg was severely injured, and she couldn’t walk, or else she would have personally taken care
of Crystal. After hearing about the baby’s condition, she wept every day, and her eyes were swollen
from all the crying.
Henry entered the room and called out in a hoarse voice, “Mom!”
Anna was attending to her leg. When she looked up and saw him, she burst into tears again, too
heartbroken to speak.
Henry handed her some tissues and poured a glass of water.
Anna wiped away her tears and composed herself before saying softly, “Henry, I know what you want.
You still want to be with Crystal! But as a husband, you shouldn’t have gone to the Kingdom of
Brundela. I know you have strong skills and you’ve never lost a lawsuit, but you were probably also
worried. But Crystal was pregnant and you have a complicated relationship with Audrey. No matter
what, you shouldn’t. have gone on that trip!”
Henry nodded.
He slowly squatted down, leaning his head against Anna’s leg. “It’s my fault! Mom… I don’t want to be
separated from Crystal. I need a chance to make up to her for everything.”
Anna couldn’t help but cry again.
Make up to her?
Little Skyler is now lying in an incubator. How can he ever make up for that? Such a wound on a
woman’s heart is a deep and fatal one. Having another child won’t heal it either No matter how many
children they have, they can’t replace little Skyler.
Anna touched his face and said in a low voice, “Crystal really likes you. If she didn’t like you so much,
she wouldn’t have given you so many chances. Think about what happened with Madison and Charles.
If it was someone else, would Crystal trade herself for them? She definitely wouldn’t! It’s because
you’re you…. You’ve been through so much together, but sadly, you still don’t know how to cherish her.
Maybe it’s because your life has been too easy, and everything comes to you so effortlessly… When a
woman gives up in a marriage, there’s no turning back!”
Henry listened in a trance.
He knew that everything Anna said was true.
As Crystal’s love came too easily, he didn’t cherish it.
Through numerous breakups and reconciliations, he had been able to hold onto her love easily. He
thought that her anger at him going to the Kingdom of Brundela would only be temporary. Afterward, he
could make it up to her, and she wouldn’t stay mad for long.
He still treated Crystal like a little girl that he could easily pacify.
However, he had forgotten that they were married now, and she was his wife.
Anna shook her head. “Henry, I can’t help you. If Crystal feels unhappy being with you and wants to
divorce you, I have to respect her decision.”
Henry remained silent.
At that moment, the doctor and nurses entered to examine Anna’s leg. He spoke with the doctor for a
while, then turned back to Anna. “Mom, I’ll go see Crystal. You rest well.”
As he walked out of the room, a sense of powerlessness overwhelmed him.
Henry stood there for a long time.
Jamie came over right then in her high heels, bringing documents for him. “I’ve postponed everything
else except the work at hand.”
Henry nodded.
Jamie wanted to see Crystal and ask about the child, but after much consideration, she didn’t bring it
up. She felt it was a shame that things had turned out this way.
Henry signed the documents, seemingly composed and calm, but when he closed the file, his eyes
stung terribly.
Jamie said gently, “Spend more time with Crystal. She needs someone to be with her right now.”
Henry responded with a faint smile.
In truth, Crystal didn’t need him.
Even though she was weak physically and needed someone to care for her, she rejected everything
except the nutritious meals the Miller family sent her, which she would only take a few bites.
Henry stayed in the hospital too.
Every day, he had half an hour to see Skyler, and that was the only time when he could see Crystal too.
He stood by her side as they both gazed at the baby together.
That was the only time he felt that they were still married and that Crystal was still his wife,
However, Crystal still refused to speak to him.
She was immersed in her own world, ignoring everyone around her.
A week passed, and Crystal grew even thinner.
One day, a doctor found Henry and called him to the office for a private conversation.
On the desk was Crystal’s health examination report from the day before. The multiple arrows on it that
showed the drastic changes in her condition shocked Henry. His hands gripping the report began to
tremble.
The obstetrician had a close relationship with the Miller family.
She said straightforwardly, “Henry, your wife is in poor health. Her increased anxiety over the child’s
condition makes her unwilling to accept any nutrition!”
Henry’s throat tightened. “I’ll talk to her!”
The doctor looked at him for a long time before saying softly, “She has postpartum depression!”
Postpartum depression…
Henry’s face turned pale.
He knew what that term meant.
The doctor patted his shoulder. “I’ll prescribe her some antidepressants, but the most crucial issue is
her deteriorating mental state… Henry, you should spend more time with her!”
Henry nodded. He was about to end the conversation when David’s call came in. David sounded
anxious as he said, “Henry, come quickly! The child is not well!”
