Crystal's One Night of Love

Early the next morning, Remi was discharged from the hospital.

Crystal bent over slightly as she packed everything away.

Her waist was slender, and her spine curved in a seductive arc.

Henry could still remember the sensation of his hands on her.

Remi had been taken away by the nanny, leaving them both in the ward. Henry had something to say to her.

Placing his hands on her shoulders, he asked softly, “If I recover my memories, Crystal, is it still possible between us?”

Crystal stiffened visibly, for she could not answer it.

If she were to say yes, she would be undoubtedly giving him hope.

But if she were to answer no, she would be going against her heart.

Her prolonged silence gave Henry an idea of her answer.

He let go of his hands from her shoulders and said, “I’ll go and settle the discharge. procedures.”

Then, he left the ward.

Crystal looked at the things she was holding in her hands and spaced out for a long time.

After returning to the mansion, Remi recovered well.

In the ensuing month, Crystal spent most of her time taking care of him. Many documents were delivered to her house by Ryan and Edith.

Henry also visited often and would bump into Ryan at times.

He could tell that the latter had feelings for Crystal.

Perhaps it was because of his pride, but he never questioned her again. He merely went over frequently to keep Skyler and Remi company.

He was exceedingly diligent in visiting and spent even more time with the children than before the divorce.

Crystal did not object to him visiting the children, but she did not give him any opportunity.

He would always give her small gifts, either from his business trips or simply because he came across the item and found it suitable for her.

She locked them all in a drawer.

On that particular day, she saw Ryan off after discussing business with him.

When she returned to the standalone mansion, Henry was still there. He was sitting on the couch and flipping through a business magazine, acting so leisurely that it was as though he was at his own home.
