Crystal's One Night of Love

Melora’s face flushed.

It’s been days since then, so why would it still hurt?

Alfred discreetly smiled.

Perhaps he had been too rough that night, for he recalled her calling out in pain several times. Young women like her had to be treated with care.

Right then, the server came in with more food.

There were only two of them, but the table was filled with dishes. She could not help but say, “It’ll be a waste if we can’t finish them.”

With a half-smile on his face, Alfred said, “Now you know that you shouldn’t be spending so much of my money?”

As he placed some food on her plate, he muttered, “You’ll be considerate when you learn to let me conserve some energy.”

At that, Melora’s face turned redder. He’s shameless!

Noticing her expression, Alfred decided to let her go on the matter.

Bringing her a bowl of chicken soup, he gently said, “This is made from free-range chickens. It’s good for you.”

Melora quietly drank it.

Despite everything, she found it hard to relax.

She did not know what he had in mind for her.

Alfred made sure Melora was fed well during the meal, and he seemed pleased at the end of it. Then, he took out something from his pocket.

It was a talisman for safety.

As Alfred tied the string for her and tucked it under her shirt, he said, “When I was getting one for Crystal, I got one for you too. You’re not allowed to take it off this month, understand?”

Melora could not help but take it back out to touch it.

Alfred patted her head and went on, saying, “I hope both you and Crystal are safe and sound.”

In a small voice, Melora said, “I want to give it to Skyler.”

The one who needed to be protected the most was Skyler.

A wave of sorrow washed over Alfred when he heard her words. He knew not if that child would survive, but he knew that Henry was on the verge of insanity. Nothing was going to stop Henry from saving Skyler. At this rate, Henry would not even mind transforming Skyler into something not human.

Alfred then took out a sub-card from his wallet and placed it in Melora’s hand.
