Crystal's One Night of Love

Crystal hurried to the nursery.

Remi had fallen ill, running a fever of thirty-nine degrees, and his petite face was all flushed.

Filled with concern, Crystal swiftly changed her attire and instructed the housekeeper, “Prepare the car. We need to head to the hospital immediately!”

The panic in her voice was a clear indicator of her overwhelming anxiety.

Henry squeezed her hand and said, “The driver will take at least half an hour to arrive. I’ll drive you there.”

With that, he scooped Remi into his arms.

With his tall stature, he effortlessly cradled the child in his arms as Crystal hurriedly followed close behind.

The night air was chilly.

After Crystal opened the back door and settled inside the car, Henry handed Remi to her, and their eyes met in a meaningful exchange.

Henry murmured, “Crystal, no matter how disappointed you are in me, Skyler and Remi are still my children. I can’t just leave them be.”

Crystal’s eyes welled up with tears at that, but she kept her silence.

This is not the time for us to be arguing…

The black car sped through the night, and after half an hour, they arrived at the hospital.

Following an examination, it was confirmed that Remi had acute pneumonia. While the situation wasn’t severe, the doctor recommended a week-long hospital stay for his recovery.

Being just a few months old, having an IV drip was quite a distressing experience for Remi. As such, it didn’t take long for his cries to echo throughout the room.

Crystal felt her heart aching upon seeing her son like that.

As the night grew deeper, Remi’s body temperature finally dropped to thirty-eight degrees.

Seated by the bedside, Crystal gently caressed her son’s tiny cheeks as a wave of guilt washed over her. She realized that the frequent relocations hadn’t been good for Remi’s health.

Meanwhile, Henry watched them quietly as he stood by the window.

All along, he had been observing her from a man’s perspective, but Crystal, being a young mother, only had eyes for her children.

She looks so vulnerable and fragile right now…

With that thought in mind, Henry couldn’t help but approach her. He gently brushed his fingers through Crystal’s long hair as he guided her head to rest against his abdomen. She must have been exhausted because she didn’t pull away.

In fact, she even closed her eyes, seemingly finding comfort in his touch.

Alas, the heartwarming scene only lasted for a brief moment before she gently pushed him.

“Get some rest,” Henry said hoarsely. “I’ll keep an eye on Remi.”
