Chapter 177 How Have You Been.

Fortunately, Jamie was prepared for that question.

“It’s in Irushea. An antique collector bought it at the auction.”

Irushea, huh…

“Book me on the earliest flight to Irushea. Also, I want every possible information you can gather on that antique collector. That includes inforination on his family, his friends, and his businesses,” Henry said calmly.

“Sure thing, Mr. Miller. I’ll email everything to you before you board the flight,” Jamie replied with a nod.

Later that afternoon, Henry flew to Irushea and spent a week there before returning to Barnwood.

It was spring by the time he returned in March, and the flowers had started to bloom.

He had yet to recover from jet lag when he landed at two in the afternoon, but he wanted to see Crystal very badly. Jamie texted him: Crystal is doing some volunteer work at Peaceful Retirement Home today.

Henry drove straight over as fast as he could.

As the retirement home was located in a somewhat rural area, it was already half past three by the time he got there.

Henry had just made his way into the building after parking his car when he heard a song played by the piano.

He took a few steps closer and saw Crystal playing an old piano with a focused look on her face.

She was wearing a white dress and looked just as beautiful as the time she played Morning Dew for him.

Henry clenched his fists slightly, only to realize something was off about the music.

The music doesn’t sound as lively as before, but it isn’t due to the piano being of poor quality. I feel like the problem lies with Crystal instead…

With that in mind, Henry waited until Crystal had finished her song before calling out to her, “Crystal!”

Crystal tensed up when she heard his voice.
