Chapter 229 She Is Still Alive

Crystal did not consider it.

“I have no plans for the time being, Uncle Alfred,” she said softly.

Alfred sighed. “Still can’t get over Henry?”

Crystal shook her head.

She looked out the window and at the night sky. “I don’t know if I made the right choice to come back this time, Uncle Alfred It’s been three years. I should have forgotten about him no matter how deep our relationship was.”

However, Henry refused to let go.

He was plainly possessive of her.

Crystal had the feeling that he would do something unpleasant if she ever had the audacity to marry another man.

She decided to wait for Anna to recover, then bring her abroad.

She had to stay away from him.

Alfred could guess her thoughts. He was exasperated and amused at the same time.

Henry was a scoundrel indeed.

Despite having divorced Crystal, he had gone to the Lodge residence to celebrate the New Year in

Coldbridge every year over the past couple of years. In fact that particular year, he had brought the

child over, and it had given Lucia a shock.

Lucia had cried all night, and he had remained on his knees beside her throughout.

That was the reason why Alfred had turned a blind eye. What can I do? He saved Skyler’s life and raised her for three years.

Based on that alone, Alfred thought Henry still stood a chance.

“What would you do if Skyler was still around, Crystal?”

Crystal froze.

Over the years, she had never dared imagine what could have been.
