Crystal’s One Night of Love
Chapter 271

Chapter 271 He Persevered

In the evening, when the sky was gradually turning dark, the driver pulled up at the mansion. After parking the car, the driver got out and opened the door for Crystal.

The housekeeper came over and said, "Mr. Miller is in the study.

Crystal nodded and walked into the mansion. She went up the stairs and pushed open the door to the study.

Henry sat behind the desk, the dim light casting a deep shadow on his profile, making him look handsome and striking. In front of him, his laptop was playing a video of Crystal's press conference. There was no telling how many times he had watched it.

Beside him was his diary.

When Crystal came in, he raised his head to look at her. She was still wearing the white suit that made her look both professional and elegant.

Henry reached out to her.

Crystal approached him and leaned into his arms without a word.

Henry removed her hair band and her heels.

Burying his face in her hair, he asked, "Are you tired?"

Crystal felt her nose sting.

She shook her head silently in his arms. They hugged each other for a long time before she broke the silence. "Go to the nursing home, Henry." Henry stiffened.

Crystal placed a gentle kiss on his neck and murmured, "Staying there will be easier for you. You won't have to force yourself to remember me and Skyler. You won't have to endure the pain. Henry, when you remember us, just give me a call, and I'll bring Skyler to see you."

Her voice trembled, for she knew that the moments he could remember her were diminishing.

Henry closed his eyes in anguish.

Crystal choked out, "Henry, please. When I haven't changed my mind..."

She stood up abruptly and pushed him back before removing his belt.

"Crystal!" Henry's voice was hoarse.

Crystal kissed him deeply.

She knew what he liked the most.

Whatever she was unwilling to do in the past, she was willing to do now. She wanted him to remember this moment, the very moment she left her mark on his body. Even if he were to forget her, she didn't wan him to forget this passionate moment.

They had sex.

Henry gripped the armrest and lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms. He couldn't take it anymore and pulled her over to kiss her. "That's enough, Crystal. That's enough."

"Henry, you're mine. All mine!" Her voice was shaky.

Henry ended up staying in the high-end nursing home, taking the diary with him.

The doctor had given him a wristband which was a tracker.

However, Crystal removed it as it was just a shackle to him. Henry wouldn't go missing. The worst thing that would happen was that he would forget their family.

Occasionally, he would remember her.

It could be after a week, ten days, or even half a month.

He would call her with affection and express his eagerness to meet her again.

No matter how busy Crystal was, she would definitely pay him a visit with Skyler.

The young girl displayed a remarkable understanding of her father's business trips. She never kicked up a fuss and always endeavored to bring joy to her father's memory whenever he remembered her. Every time, she would bring her storybooks along and sit on her father's lap, asking him to read the stories. to her.

By the time Henry reached the fourth storybook, his recollection of them had become infrequent. He persevered, however, until the moment the baby in Crystal's womb stirred for the very first time. As he sensed the strong heartbeat, amazement washed over him. This was a new life made by him and Crystal, and now, the baby could move.

Henry couldn't bear to part with this feeling.

Lying in Crystal's arms, he listened to the thumping heartbeat until he fell asleep.

Tears streamed down Crystal's face as she covered her quivering lips. She knew that Henry could only endure until now because of that diary. Late at night, she went home.

A smile played on her lips as she eagerly waited for their next encounter.

The housekeeper approached her. "Mrs. Miller, you received a parcel."

After accepting the package from her, Crystal looked at it casually and was surprised to replace that Henry was the sender.

She quickly opened the parcel and saw three recording pens which were labeled with names.

Crystal went upstairs and played the recording pen with her name.

There was a crackling sound before Henry's voice rang out. "Crystal, when you hear this, I may have already left you. You must be crying, right? Silly, don't cry. At least we're married with two kids. You're pregnant with a boy, so name him Remi Miller, short for 'reminisce! Promise me you won't give up on

replaceing me no matter what, Crystal. I love you, and I don't want to spend the rest of my life without you. A life without you is a prospect I can't bear. I love you, Crystal. Be brave for me once more, okay?" In the living room, Crystal held her belly as she listened to the recording.

Tears rolled down her cheeks when the recording came to an end.

Her sixth sense told her that Henry had already left.

Right then, her phone rang. It was a call from the nursing home.

Crystal answered the call.

Gently and regretfully, the doctor said, "Mrs. Miller, Mr. Miller has left the nursing home, carrying his identification and bank cards. He also left with two sets of clothing.

Crystal felt as if her blood had been sucked dry. Her lips trembled as she asked, "Anything else?"

The doctor pondered for a bit. "There is a diary by Mr. Miller's pillow. Do you still want it?"

"Yes! I'll come over to pick it up now."

After the call ended, Crystal wiped her tears away, but they continued to stream down her cheeks.

She went downstairs and told the driver that she was going to head out.

Downstairs stood David with an anxious expression. His heart ached for her.

He looked at Crystal and revealed. "He retook the bar exam a few days ago and received his bar license. I found out he used his passport to buy a flight ticket to Anglandur. He should be on the plane now." Crystal was sobbing silently.

Even though she knew this day would come, she couldn't help but cry.

Henry had utterly erased her from his memories.

His memories had come to an abrupt halt five years earlier, a period prior to their encounter.

Henry had departed. He had ascended into the skies, resuming his beloved role as a lawyer..

However, she and Skyler were left behind.

Crystal wondered if he would regard them as strangers when they met each other again.

Closing her eyes, she bawled her eyes out.

David, too, grew emotional, and tears welled up in his eyes.

He gently patted her shoulders and said, "Crys, don't cry too long. Henry wouldn't want to see you upset. Don't worry. He's safe and sound, and he'll return to us one day." Crystal's body was still quivering.

Even though she had prepared mentally for months, she was still overwhelmed with sadness when the day

came.

Crystal went to the monastery, intending to pay George a visit.

The monastery was halfway up the mountain, so she climbed all the way up sincerely even though she was four months along.

Upon arrival at the monastery, she prayed silently before requesting George's presence.

Alas, he didn't agree to see her.

It was a young abbot who came out to relay George's message. "My mentor said that he told light at the end of the tunnel."

there is

With that, he gave a polite bow and left.

Crystal watched him leave without a word. She prayed again before slowly going down the mountain.

Subsequently, David made it a habit to send her daily texts, detailing the number of countries Henry had visited within a week. Occasionally, Crystal would replace herself lost in thought as she observed the vast distances he covered.

A few weeks later, she saw Henry on the news as he had won an international lawsuit.

Outside the Supreme Court of Cranur, Henry was surrounded by a group of reporters.

Dressed in a classic black and white suit, he maintained a proud posture while fielding their questions, looking confident and charming.

Crystal replayed the video again and again.

Every time she watched it, she would cry and laugh at the same time.
