Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 175 We Shall Never Meet Again

Before bedtime that night, Anna gently held Crystal’s leg and placed a warm compress on it.

“You have to take good care of it. Don’t let it worsen further!”

“Oh, it will be fine. It’s just a small injury!” Crystal replied, feigning nonchalance.

Seeing that the young lady was slowly walking again, Anna let the matter slide and continued applying the

warm compress.

Toward the end of the session, however, she spoke up hesitantly. “Henry has been waiting downstairs for quite some time. Do you want to see him?”

Crystal froze for a moment before shaking her head.

“Let’s shelve this for the time being. I’m not in the mood right now.”

Thankfully, Anna didn’t force her, either.

“I don’t know what happened between the two of you, but I’ll always support whatever decision you make,” she said as she caressed Crystal’s head. “You have to choose your partner carefully. Even if this relationship doesn’t work out, there’s still plenty of fish in the sea! I have faith that you’ll find someone suitable.”

Upon hearing that, the latter smiled, and Anna finally felt more at ease.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and soon, it was the seventh day after John’s death. Crystal’s leg had also almost healed, so she accompanied Anna to the cemetery.

The sun shone brilliantly in the clear, blue sky, and the flowers bloomed everywhere.

To Anna’s surprise, a bouquet of fresh lilies had been placed in front of John and Krystal’s gravestone.

She figured that Joshua must’ve left the flowers, but when she saw Crystal tossing them away without a second look and setting down a bouquet of daisies, she couldn’t help but sigh.

The two women spent a long time at the cemetery, leaving only when it was almost noon.

Meanwhile, Henry was puffing away at a cigarette as he leaned against the golden Bentley Continental parked outside the cemetery. Even though he was bathed in warm sun rays, the atmosphere around him remained cold and gloomy.

He might have lost some weight, but he was still handsome.
