Crystal's One Night of Love

Bang!

Audrey crumpled to the ground, a pool of blood forming around her.

Crystal couldn’t stop trembling as she gripped the steering wheel. It was not that she did not. have any mental barriers; she did not have time to consider her options. All she could think. of was what’d happen to Skyler if Audrey escaped.

The kindergarten security restrained Audrey while someone else called the police. Skyler, on the other hand, was so frightened that she burst into tears. Needless to say, the scene was absolute chaos.

Crystal was still shaking when she finally stepped out of the car.

I need to send Audrey to the hospital, but how can I explain it to the others? Will they even allow me to take her?

Just then, her hand was taken in a warm, firm grasp. “Don’t be afraid, Crystal!”

The woman stiffened as she turned her head around, only to find herself staring at Henry.

At that moment, she felt her strength drain away, and all she could manage was a feeble reply. “H-Henry?”

Henry squeezed her hand reassuringly. “Leave this to me.”

He hurried toward Skyler and fed her, her blood-clotting medication.

It pained Henry to see the blood on his daughter’s legs, and as he pulled her into an embrace, she buried her tear-stained face in his arms.

“Daddy… it hurts!”

Henry kissed the little girl. “I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Knowing that time was of the essence, he quickly handed Skyler to Crystal and ordered them to get into the car.

After hauling Audrey up from the ground, Henry fished his phone out and made a call. “Captain Jones, it’s me, Henry! There’s been a murder outside Whittleberry Kindergarten,

my wife subdued the murderer. However, the latter’s in bad shape, so we’ll send her to the hospital first. Yes… Everything will be fine!”

A while later, Henry finally hung up the phone.

Having seemingly realized something was amiss, Audrey muttered weakly, “No! That can’t be! Henry… y-you won’t do that to me!”

“I will!” Henry spat before shoving her into another car.

The two black sedans sped off one after another and pulled into a high-end private hospital in just ten minutes.

Crystal held Skyler tightly and comforted her while Henry shielded them from Audrey.
