Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 216 Let Us Get A Divorce

Crystal gave birth to a baby girl.

Her name was Skyler. As she weighed less than five pounds, she was placed in the incubator right after she was born.

Both David, his wife, and Alfred had only managed to catch one glance of the baby before they went off to see Crystal. Crystal was switched to a VIP room. She was so weak that she lay weakly on the bed, seemingly asleep.

Seeing that, Alfred walked over and tucked her hand under the sheets.

He silently sat by her bed and watched her like a hawk in case she woke up.

Standing outside was Melora, who had been making hundreds of phone calls for the past sixteen hours.

All of them were for Henry.

It was only after countless phone calls did he pick up.

At that time. Henry was in the Kingdom of Brundela. He had rushed straight to the courthouse as soon as he got off the plane. Hence, his phone was never turned on.

As soon as the legal battle was over, the court in Lostaria announced that Henry had won the case. Joshua thanked his wife and even invited Henry to his house.

However, Henry politely declined the invitation.

While the two were squabbling, Henry pulled out his phone and smiled. “My family must be urging me to get home.”

He turned on his phone, expecting to see a ton of missed calls from work as usual.

Maybe Crystal’s still mad at me.

To his surprise, his phone started vibrating crazily as soon as it was turned on.

He had over five hundred missed calls, and all of them were from Barnwood.

Just then, Melora’s call came through, and he quickly answered it. “What happened, Melora?”

Melora’s sobs rang through the speakers. “Henry, come home quickly. The mansion exploded… Crystal went into premature labor. The baby’s so small… Crystal took sixteen hours to deliver her… Why did you go to the Kingdom of Brundela? Why did you leave Crystal alone at home? Do you have any idea what she looked like when she arrived at the hospital?” Henry froze.

He seemed to have lost the capability to move.
