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.

Skyler, are you really gone? Did you leave… just like that? What are you going to do? Are you afraid? What am I…. going to do?

Lifting the handful of fresh soil, she pressed it against her heart and curled herself into a ball. Her clothes. did nothing to hide the bony outline of her back.

She couldn’t bring herself to finish her sentence.

After placing the dirt in her hands back onto the slightly raised dirt before her, she began piling the surrounding earth on top of the raised patch of soil. Sharp stones were obviously in the soil, so her hands quickly got cut by them, but she didn’t care.

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….

Soon, the land became gloomy.

The final ray of light from the horizon faded, and darkness enveloped the earth.
