Crystal's One Night of Love
Chapter 272 Long Awaited Reunion.
Crystal watched the clip again and again, and Skyler was equally still.
It’s Daddy! Daddy looks so handsome when he smiles!
Nestling in Crystal’s embrace, Skyler murmured, “Mommy, is Daddy coming back?”
“Mhm.” Crystal quietly hummed. Patting the top of the girl’s head, she said in a soothing tone, “But Daddy’s unwell, so let’s give him some time, shall we?”
Skyler understood more than her tender years might suggest.
Though Crystal hadn’t explicitly said it, Skyler had noticed the changes after her father was hospitalized. back then. His presence became less frequent, and his grasp of the present slipped occasionally when he was reading bedtime stories to her.
So he was sick!
Bounding back to her room, Skyler then returned clutching a box.
With eager hands, she unveiled a plastic toy stethoscope, her chestnut curls bouncing with excitement.
Her voice was earnest as she said, “I’m going to make Daddy better!”
Crystal’s arms encircled her daughter as she pressed a kiss to the girl’s forehead, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears.
Skyler was the most beautiful gift Henry had left behind for her.

Then came a sudden surge of excitement sweeping through the crowd like a wave, and reporters jostled in a single direction.
Flashes erupted from cameras as reporters fought to capture the best shot of the scene.
Henry had appeared.
Henry emerged from the security checkpoint, encircled by his retinue of bodyguards. The camera lenses fixed on him could not shake his poised demeanor. With practiced case, he fielded questions with nonchalant replies, his departure marked by an air of dignified composure.
The bodyguards held the press at bay, creating a path for his exit.
Meanwhile, Crystal stood by the exit, her heart racing as she watched the figure pass by her. An unexpected chill overtook her, as though a gust of icy wind had swept away her strength, leaving her vulnerable and exposed.
The realization struck her like a blow-Henry didn’t remember her.
Right as the thought formed in her mind, Henry halted in his tracks and fixed his gaze on her face.
There was no recognition in his gaze, but Crystal could not contain herself as she called out, “Henry!”
With a purse of his lips, Henry spared her a curt response. “We’ll talk in the car.”
Crystal froze.
