Bang!
Audrey crumpled to the ground, a pool of blood forming around her.
Crystal couldn’t stop trembling as she gripped the steering wheel. It was not that she did not. have any
mental barriers; she did not have time to consider her options. All she could think. of was what’d
happen to Skyler if Audrey escaped.
The kindergarten security restrained Audrey while someone else called the police. Skyler, on the other
hand, was so frightened that she burst into tears. Needless to say, the scene was absolute chaos.
Crystal was still shaking when she finally stepped out of the car.
I need to send Audrey to the hospital, but how can I explain it to the others? Will they even allow me to
take her?
Just then, her hand was taken in a warm, firm grasp. “Don’t be afraid, Crystal!”
The woman stiffened as she turned her head around, only to find herself staring at Henry.
At that moment, she felt her strength drain away, and all she could manage was a feeble reply. “H-
Henry?”
Henry squeezed her hand reassuringly. “Leave this to me.”
He hurried toward Skyler and fed her, her blood-clotting medication.
It pained Henry to see the blood on his daughter’s legs, and as he pulled her into an embrace, she
buried her tear-stained face in his arms.
“Daddy… it hurts!”
Henry kissed the little girl. “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Knowing that time was of the essence, he quickly handed Skyler to Crystal and ordered them to get
into the car.
After hauling Audrey up from the ground, Henry fished his phone out and made a call. “Captain Jones,
it’s me, Henry! There’s been a murder outside Whittleberry Kindergarten,
my wife subdued the murderer. However, the latter’s in bad shape, so we’ll send her to the hospital
first. Yes… Everything will be fine!”
and
A while later, Henry finally hung up the phone.
Having seemingly realized something was amiss, Audrey muttered weakly, “No! That can’t be! Henry…
y-you won’t do that to me!”
“I will!” Henry spat before shoving her into another car.
The two black sedans sped off one after another and pulled into a high-end private hospital in just ten
minutes.
Crystal held Skyler tightly and comforted her while Henry shielded them from Audrey.
“Don’t be scared,” the man comforted as he caressed Skyler’s head. “I’m here for
you!”
Skyler merely hugged Crystal, her eyes still brimming with tears.
“Take her to the emergency room. I’ll be with you guys shortly,” Henry gently instructed. Crystal before
turning around and walking away.
Crystal, however, couldn’t shake off her feeling of unease. “Henry!”
Henry instantly stopped in his tracks and gave her an encouraging smile. “Don’t worry. Everything will
be fine!”
Crystal hugged Skyler and looked at the man’s retreating figure, a determined look in her
eyes.
Yes. I have faith in him.
With the driver leading the way, Crystal hastily followed behind until they arrived at the emergency
room. Fortunately, the doctors had been on standby for almost twenty minutes, and it didn’t take long
before the nurses rushed in with a blood bag.
“Begin the blood transfusion immediately! The kid has hemophilia!”
Skyler lay quietly on the bed, her face pale as a sheet.
The hundred-millimeter blood bag was emptied within minutes, but thankfully, fresh packets of blood
were delivered in succession, ensuring a steady supply. Knowing full well who the blood donor was,
Crystal shuddered.
Just like that, eight hundred millimeters of blood was successfully transfused.
By then, Skyler was so tired from all the crying that she fell asleep on the small bed, her lashes wet
from the tears. It was, without a doubt, a pitiful sight to behold.
Crystal clutched the little girl’s hand, her body still trembling from fear.
She instantly turned around when she felt a hand on her shoulder, only to come face to face
with Henry.
Like her, the man looked exhausted.
Henry promptly sat beside Crystal and pulled her into his arms. Before the latter could ask her
question, the man’s deep, husky voice rang out. “After you called me last night, I dreamed that Skyler
got injured… I was worried sick, so I returned on a private jet this morning.” He gently pressed his
forehead against hers. “You did well, Crystal!”
Just as Crystal was about to say something, Henry interrupted her again, “Leave everything to me! All
you need to know is that nothing will happen to Skyler.”
Even though Crystal didn’t ask any further, there was still a lingering fear in her heart as she leaned
against his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his waist.
A while later, Henry left Crystal with Skyler while he walked out to have a smoke, desperate for some
time alone to clear his head.
After he finished one cigarette, his phone rang.
As it turned out, Wilson Jones was on the other end of the call, and his tone was stern. “Henry, we’ve
zeroed in on Audrey being the unhinged murderer! She’s responsible for the deaths of four people!” he
exclaimed before pausing. “Is she still alive?”
“Yes. She’s still in the hospital. I’ll fully cooperate with what you need me to do! As for my wife… she
was only doing what was right, so it’d be better to keep her out of the public eye.”
Once the call ended, Henry strode into a standalone cold room.
The room was big, and ten bags of fresh blood were neatly kept inside.
Henry picked one of the bags up and scrutinized it.
Seconds later, Jamie entered the room and approached him. “Mr. Miller, I’ve found three. people with
Rh-negative blood in Avenport and Tellmoore.”
Henry placed the blood bag down and turned to his secretary. “Invite them to work in Seeas.
Corporation.”
Jamie nodded, but there was a moment of hesitation before she spoke again.
“Actually…. there’s another person with Rh-negative blood in Barnwood. The only problem is that he’s
pretty young.”
Henry furrowed his brows.
“It really is quite the coincidence. He’s Christopher Ziegler, one of Skyler’s kindergarten
classmates,” Jamie said as she handed a file to Henry. “Here, Mr. Miller. These are all his information.”
Henry accepted the file and began flipping through the documents. Christopher Ziegler, huh? Let’s
see… His family has an established business, but sadly, the first son was stillborn. Because of that,
Christoper was accepted into the Ziegler family despite being an illegitimate child. From the looks of it.
his life doesn’t seem to be all sunshine and rainbows.
As a mother, Jamie couldn’t help but said, “The kid has a pretty rough life!”
Henry said nothing as he continued poring over the documents.
Not only is the boy very handsome, but I can also tell by his eyes that he’s smart as a whip.
Henry closed the file and turned to Jamie. “Help me ask Cosmos Corporation’s Andy Ziegler out for a
game of golf. Tell him I have a project to discuss with him.”
Jamie instantly understood Henry’s intention and nodded.
Henry got everything in order and returned to the ward, only to see that his
sister were already there.
Needless to say, David’s heart ached for his precious granddaughter.
parents and
He cradled Skyler as if she was a baby and kept comforting her until Henry couldn’t stand it. any
longer. “Dad, Skyler has lost a lot of blood. She’ll feel dizzy if you keep shaking her like that!”
“Are you dizzy, Sky?” David hastily asked.
Skyler loved being coddled, so even if she felt dizzy, she didn’t mind being held and kissed. by her
grandfather.
David’s face fell, and tears suddenly started streaming down his cheeks.
Oh, my poor Skyler. She almost died as a baby, and it wasn’t easy for Henry to bring her up, either. I
can’t believe she has to suffer this much at the hands of that crazy woman…
Despite his seething anger, David suppressed it and looked at his son. “Do what needs to be done,
Henry.”
Henry nodded. “I know, Dad.”
Crystal lifted her gaze and locked eyes with the young man, prompting him to give her a gentle
squeeze on her shoulders.
“Don’t worry. Everything’s okay,” he reassured.
That afternoon, Henry left for the police station and only returned to the hospital late at night.
Upon entering the dimly lit ward, he saw Crystal lying on the side of the bed. She was fast asleep.
Skyler, however, had woken up from Henry’s footsteps. She whispered, “Daddy.”
Henry removed his jacket and covered Crystal with it.
Then, he sat on the bed and lifted Skyler onto his lap before pulling the blanket over her.
It didn’t take long for Skyler to snuggle into Henry’s arms and make herself comfortable. After all, he
was the one who had brought her up, so she felt the closest to him.
Henry ruffled his daughter’s brown hair and carefully touched her bandaged legs. “Does it still hurt?”
“Yes!” Skyler whined as she buried her face in the crook of her father’s neck.
Henry merely hugged her tighter and showered her with kisses.
Even though he didn’t say a word, his heart was undeniably overwhelmed with emotions. Everything
that had happened was far too much for him to bear. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that my
old flame would hurt Skyler this much! What if Crystal wasn’t there? I can’t even bring myself to think of
the outcome… It’s all my fault. I’ve let Skyler down!
Having seemingly detected her father’s mood change, Skyler leaned in and pecked him on the cheek.
She was so small and soft, and Henry was ready to trade everything he had to keep her safe and
healthy.
“Tomorrow, your teacher will visit you with some of your kindergarten classmates,” he uttered.
The high-spirited Skyler suddenly looked a little awkward.
“I heard Christopher Ziegler will be here too,” Henry added.
Knowing that her father had seen through her, Skyler bristled with annoyance as she slid under the
blanket and yawned.
“Daddy, I want to sleep now!”
Henry ruffled her curls and started on a bedtime story.
“Once upon a time, there was a young prince named Christopher Ziegler…”
Dumbstruck by what her father was doing, Skyler began snoring. “I’ve fallen asleep, Daddy!”
Henry hummed nonchalantly and patted the little girl’s back, soothing her to sleep like he had been
doing for countless nights over the past years.
To him, Skyler wasn’t just a child.
She was a beacon of hope for rekindling his and Crystal’s relationship.
