Chapter 172 She Lost Too Much In Just One Night

Henry’s gaze darkened.

In a hoarse voice, he said, “Let’s talk at home, Crystal.”

Refusing to back down, she asked again, “Do you love me?”

The man knitted his brows and kept mum:

Crystal anticipated that response from him. I know he can’t answer me because he doesn’t love me and doesn’t want to lie to me.

The diamond ring in her hand slipped from her grasp, landing on the ground with a faint sound.

It mirrored the delicate state of their relationship, quietly shattering, unlike the dramatic breakup that Henry once had with Audrey. The silent pain was hers alone to bear.

Crystal locked eyes with Henry and spoke in a soft tone. “Henry, I don’t want anything anymore. Don’t worry. I won’t pester you any longer, and you no longer need to bind me with the ties of marriage, either. Like I’ve mentioned before, you’re free to live your life as you wish!”

Henry gritted his teeth and pulled her into his arms. “Let’s go back and talk!”

All of a sudden, the nurse in the ward exclaimed, “M-Miss Quinn!

Crystal turned around and looked in Audrey’s direction with her bloodshot eyes.

The ashen-faced Audrey was wearing a smile despite the blood dripping from her severely injured wrist. She threatened, “Henry! You can’t abandon me. If you leave with her, I’ll kill myself!”

Henry hurriedly walked over to apply pressure to Audrey’s wound.
