Crystal’s One Night of Love
Chapter 257

Chapter 257 Just Nice

Two days later, the children dropped by to visit Skyler, and Crystal received them.

Henry was there the entire time. He leisurely worked on some documents while sitting on the couch in the VIP ward.

Not only was Skyler radiating joy but also pride.

My daddy is so good-looking, and my moinmy is so pretty.

The envious gazes of her kindergarten friends made the little girl feel on top of the world.

Before they left, they gave her gifts.

Christopher's gift was a lollipop, and she intended to share it with her father.

Silence returned to the ward, and Skyler fell asleep.

"You've been acting weird today, Henry," Crystal said in a low voice.

Henry let out a soft chuckle. "How so? By the way... didn't you use a more affectionate way to call my name

a while ago? Why do you sound so formal now?" He placed the documents down and pulled her to beside him. "Don't ever be so distant with me again, Crystal!"

Crystal allowed him to guide her head to rest on his shoulder.

"It was you who arranged the children's visit, wasn't it?" she asked softly.

Henry looked at her intently.

sit

It took a while before he replied in an equally low voice, "Yes, I arranged it. Didn't you see how happy Skyler was? She's in so much pain. What's wrong with cheering her up?" Crystal could replace no words to refute him.

Henry flashed a faint smile. He did not tell her that he had already met Christopher's father.

From now on, Christopher will be Skyler's classmate throughout her schooling years until she graduates from university because he has Rh-negative blood!

As they continued chatting, they could not help but bring up Audrey.

Henry froze for a moment.

He grabbed a glass of plain water and downed half of it slowly before saying flatly, "I had dinner with the prosecutor last night. He stated that Audrey committed the crime while she was clear-headed, and the combination of the few heinous incidents is enough to warrant a death sentence!"

Crystal said nothing in response.

Audrey deserves to be punished for her crimes!

As he had been busy for many days, she offered him a light massage. After a while, he clasped her wrist and whispered, "I finally get to enjoy this soft side of you after so long."

The small smile she gave him in response was serene and beautiful.

Having been on edge for several days and finally able to relax, Henry could not help but be enticed by her. He lowered his head to envelop her lips in a kiss, alternating between feathery light and deep passionate

kisses.

Crystal put up some resistance. After all, they were at the hospital with people coming and going..

"Henry, don't.... People will see us!" she begged, her voice hoarse.

Henry's body was burning with passion.

It was as if he had gone through a stressful period. Now that he could unwind, he desperately needed a release, and the best way to do so was through sex.

He leaned over and locked the door before guiding Crystal further in the ward to a small room, his arm around her slender waist. He kissed her as they walked. Crystal fell onto the foot of the bed.

The bed was very small, only one meter and twenty centimeters wide.

With Skyler sleeping just outside, she had to hold back from making a sound as they got intimate surreptitiously.

That realization made Crystal bite her lip to suppress her moans.

Henry drew closer to the side of her neck and whispered in a raspy voice. "Say my name. Crystal... I want to hear you say my name."

The docile Crystal had pleasure glistening in her eyes.

"Henry... Henry..." She eventually caved in and bit his neck while saying his name.

Once they were done, Crystal lay in his arms and said softly, "Just now, you didn't...

Henry lowered his head to glance at the woman resting in his arm before stroking her cheek. "If you get pregnant, it'll be just nice. Skyler will have a brother or a sister!" Crystal remained silent, tracing his chest with her slender finger.

After a long silence, he caught her finger and muttered, "What are you thinking? Tell me!"

She was about to speak when someone outside knocked on the door.

Crystal could not help but blush.

Henry kissed her and got out of bed to get dressed. "It's probably Melora. I'll handle her."

She observed him moving swiftly without a trace of fatigue. He's not young anymore. How is he still full of energy?

Henry figured out what was on her mind and pinched her chin. "You've been starving me for too long. Mrs Miller!" Crystal felt too embarrassed to say anything.

As Henry left the room, he thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

He opened the door of the ward, and sure enough, Melora was waiting there, carrying a thermal food jar.

"Mom prepared some nutritious food." She peeped inside and whispered, "Is Skyler asleep?" Henry hummed in response.

Melora entered the ward. After bending over and pecking Skyler on the cheek, she stared at her for a long

time.

The genes of the Lodge family are too strong! Skyler looks a lot like Crystal but also resembles that person....

While staring intensely at the little girl, she fell into a daze.

Henry leaned back on the couch, feeling sluggish after doing the deed. He snorted as he mindlessly. flipped through some documents. "If you truly love him, marry him! Since he's much older than you, you can take his money and look for a young, handsome one once he kicks the bucket!"

Melora appeared gloomy and did not respond.

She knew very well that her brother was still mad at her.

Even though he had agreed to stay out of her affairs, he still could not contain himself. "Learn from Crystal and make a decision when it's time to decide. Since you and Alfred have no future, why didn't you go when Mom introduced you to someone?"

Melora was quite afraid of him. She said in a low voice, I need to work. I'm busy!"

Henry sneered, "Are you referring to those magazines?"

Melora was at a loss for words. She looked around, but Crystal was nowhere to be seen. Crystal will surely defend me.

Henry laughed in exasperation. "Look at you. Your sister-in-law is resting inside."

Resting?

Melora fixed her gaze on her brother.

Henry's handsome face was slightly flushed, and he feigned nonchalance. "She's just a little tired!"

Having been there and done that, Melora immediately understood what he meant. Her cheeks turned pink, and she quickly stood up and said, "Uh... I'll head back now, Henry!"

"Drive safely," Henry uttered calmly.

Melora hummed in response, feeling tears welling up in her eyes.

As she left, Henry stared at the door.

How can I not tell that Melora is deeply hurt... She once loved Alfred, and he had showered her with affection, so how can the move on so easily, and how can she readily fall in love with someone else? But if she doesn't try, she'll be stuck there forever, and Alfred will become a thorn in her heart.

Henry could not help but feel frustrated.

Melora was clutching the door handle outside.

No one mentioned Alfred to me for the past few days, fearing I'll be upset. Only Henry did! He said Alfred and I have a kid, so we must eventually meet. There are only two ways out for me, one is to love him, and the other is to forget him. I have achieved neither!

She closed her eyes gently and exhaled slowly, ready to leave the hospital and go home.

However, when she looked up, she instantly froze.

Alfred was standing in front of her.

He looked gentlemanly and elegant in a white shirt, black trousers, and a navy blue trench coat draped over his shoulders.

But only she knew how ruthless and aggressive he was in private, especially in bed, where he seemed like. an entirely different person.
