Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 217

Chapter 217 Now We Are Even

Since Alfred had sent someone to keep watch, it was difficult for Henry to see Crystal.

While the other members of the Miller family were allowed inside, only Henry was stopped outside, leaving him with no choice but to implore Alfred.

Alfred sat inside the reception room of the hospital, busy with work. Regardless of how busy he was, he still brought his work to Barnwood as he could not leave Crystal alone in the state that she was currently.

After striking Henry across the face, he proceeded to ignore him.

Henry, normally a proud man, cast aside his self-esteem and pride and knelt down before Alfred for over four hours.

A good amount of time had passed, and only then did Alfred deign to speak with him.

Although Alfred’s tone had softened somewhat, he still sounded cold as he said, “Henry, it’s no use even if you beg me. You know better than anyone else how it’s already the end for you and Crystal. It doesn’t matter if the child…”

Alfred’s eyes reddened, and he lit a cigarette.

Even so, it still took him quite some time to gather himself before he was able to say, “It doesn’t matter what happens to the child because it is no longer possible for the two of you! Not now, not ever. No woman can be so magnanimous unless she’s a fool.”

There was no way Henry did not understand what the other man meant.

He had begged Crystal relentlessly for another chance when she broke up with him, and Skyler’s arrival was a gift that helped to mend their relationship.

For the past six to seven months, Crystal’s attitude toward him had gone from icy to warm, and then to gentle and affectionate. The brief married life he had with her was a happy one.

Henry felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and this was reflected in his humbled attitude. “I know, Uncle Alfred. I’m only begging for a chance to take care of her.”

Alfred sneered, “Are you sure you’re not trying to gross her out?”

Henry felt incredibly ashamed.

Right then, Alfred’s subordinate came over and reported, “Mr. Lodge, a Mr. Quinn went with Miss Quinn to Miss Winters’ ward and insisted on meeting her. Miss Winters has agreed to meet them.”
