Crystal’s One Night of Love
Chapter 222

Chapter 222 Leaving The Legal World

Two days before Crystal was supposed to be discharged from the hospital, Henry had a previous case that he needed to handle at ten in the morning.

At eight, he specifically instructed Melora to look after Crystal and to call him if something came up.

"I will take good care of Crystal!" Melora assured, giving a nod.

Henry glanced at Crystal again.

She was leaning against the bed, quietly reading a book. She looked much better, and her face seemed a bit plumper than before.

Despite the fact that he knew she didn't care, he still tenderly said, "I'll be back to have lunch with you."

As expected, her response was silence.

He exited the room with a bitter smile.

Jamie was waiting outside, and when she saw him coming out, she immediately asked. "How is Crystal doing?"

Henry accepted the documents from her and uttered, "She's a little better now! The doctor said she can already be discharged."

Jamie offered a few words of comfort in' response.

A swarm of reporters was in front of the black sedan when they got to the first floor. Everyone was eagerly holding up microphones to interview Henry.

"Mr. Miller, this is your first time appearing in court after what happened to your wife."

"Will your wife's situation affect your performance?"

"Do you have confidence in maintaining your undefeated record?"

Henry remained silent and got into the back seat of the car.

Jamie stopped the reporters from getting any closer to Henry and spoke a few scripted words before taking her seat in the back. How shameless can they be! She could only curse at the reporters in her heart. It was clear that she was concerned about her employer, afraid that he might not perform well that day.

She knew how much Henry valued his reputation..

Henry, in contrast to her fears, seemed rather calm.

"Let's go!" he solemnly said to the driver.

At nine o'clock, the car came to a halt in front of the Supreme Court of Barnwood. His client was already waiting, and the opposing lawyer was standing not far away, plainly displaying great ambition. Right as Henry got out of the vehicle, he was blocked by a bouquet of flowers.

Audrey, whose face was even more alluring than roses, came into the man's sight, looking at the man in a

shy manner.

Having gone through a failed marriage, she believed that Henry was who she wanted.

She knew his marriage was in shambles and assumed that all she needed to do was be gentle, caring, and magnanimous in order to get him to return to her arms.

"Henry, I hope you will achieve a resounding victory today!" said Audrey affectionately.

The man frowned in response.

He was merely fulfilling his duty when he helped her with her case. He had thought that by helping her, things would finally come to an end too.

So what was she up to?

Audrey employed her charms as she said. "When you win, let's celebrate with some champagne, and I will be entirely yours!"

The media went into a frenzy.

Is this a public declaration of love? Miss Quinn is Mr. Miller's first love. Could it be that Mr. Miller's marriage is on the rocks, and the woman Mr. Miller is meant to be with is actually Miss Quinn? Everyone present was eager to hear Henry's reply.

"I have a wife!" came Henry's reply as he spoke into a microphone. "I have no plans of having an affair! Please have some self-respect, Miss Quinn!"

He entered the courtroom immediately after saying that.

Enraged, Audrey hurled the bouquet on the ground, her expression distorted.

The crowd began to mock her.

She tried to maintain a smile and shamelessly said, "We are childhood sweethearts, and no one can replace my position in his heart! If practicing law is the most important thing in Henry's heart, then I'm the second!"

Her statements were quickly jotted down by the media.

This news is bound to cause a sensation!

Jamie looked at Audrey before shaking her head lightly. She's testing Mr. Miller's patience

The trial began on time at ten o'clock.

Henry was as capable as ever, putting up an excellent performance, and by eleven o'clock, the overall outcome of the case had been determined.

Henry was able to maintain his undefeated record, and his photo was going to be released by notable media outlets the next day.

It was now ten past eleven.

The opposing party requested an adjournment in order to negotiate a settlement.

The reporters gradually dispersed, clearing a path for them to leave.

The silence among them was deafening.

His decision had left them dumbstruck.

Henry had thought he would be hesitant to leave when he made that decision. However, he wasn't, because he knew he was about to go to the most important person in his life. Crystal had lost the opportunity to become a renowned pianist that night.

She had risked her life to protect Skyler.

If she could do all that, Henry could also give up the things he loved. He would never let her face difficult moments alone ever again.

Behind the car, Audrey screamed hysterically.

Everyone looked over, casting looks of disdain in her direction.

The one Mr. Miller loves is his wife, whereas Miss Quinn is someone who's insistent on destroying the loving family of others!

After that incident, a large number of Audrey's unseemly photos were made public. She went from being perceived as a pure and innocent young lady to getting a new, unpleasant nickname. Henry's exit from the legal world caused a huge stir.

He avoided all interviews and had the driver take him to the Miller family's cemetery.

Sure enough, Crystal was there.

She merely stood there silently in the hospital gown.

The moment Crystal heard footsteps, she could already guess it was Henry coming toward her. She said in a soft tone, "Today is the day Skyler turns one month old."
