Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 221 Sleep Tight

Dark clouds could be seen drifting on the horizon.

The evening sun rays filtered through the dark branches and leaves, giving the land an unsettling feel as if mourning the passing of a little life.

Crystal’s face was covered in tears at the moment, making her seem like a lost soul.

All she cared about at the moment was mechanically performing her act.

Skyler, I’m covering you with more blankets, okay? Would this make you feel warmer? Skyler, I didn’t have the chance to love you. Before you were born, I had imagined what you would be like countless times, but you turned out much better than I had hoped. Sleep tight and grow up well, Skyler. Mommy’s right here with you….
