Crystal’s One Night of Love novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241 Cutting Ties 

Crystal blushed furiously and pushed Henry away, sputtering, “No!” 

It was impossible for her to fall back asleep now. She headed to the walk-in closet to change. 

Henry followed her inside. 

They had been married, and he had seen her changing multiple times. 

Crystal was unbothered by his presence. After she slipped on a sweater, she felt him hugging her from behind. He mumbled, “Secretly, you’re still blaming me, aren’t you, Crystal?” 

She did not refute him. 

Some things simply took more time to forget than others. 

She replied softly, “We both need time to deal with this, Henry.” 

He hummed gently in agreement, glad that they were getting along much better now. When they were alone, he refrained from doing any inappropriate gestures. Crystal was too important to him. Not only was she the woman he wanted, but she was also the mother of his child, Skyler. 

Everything else could wait for its appropriate time and place. 

Just then, Henry’s phone rang. 

It was a call from David. Henry kept an arm around Crystal’s slender waist while answering his phone. “Dad?” 

David sounded rather displeased as he barked, “Bring Crystal here, Henry!” 

Before Henry could ask any questions, David had him pass the phone to Crystal. 

He said some things to Crystal, who nodded and replied, “All right. We’ll be there in a while.” 

David hung up. 

“What did he tell you?” asked Henry. 

Crystal explained, “The Quinns are causing a fuss over there. They insist I do a bone marrow match test with Joshua.” 

The news infuriated Henry. 

She can’t possibly be a match, and even if she is, are they going to force her to donate her bone marrow to Joshua? 

Crystal noticed his expression and shot him a small smile. “What’s wrong? You seem to have formed some opinions about Joshua?” 

Henry promptly took off his bathrobe and put on a clean suit. 

While he changed, he said, “You’ll know once you go back! It’s some unpleasant business. My dad and Joshua aren’t on the best of terms!” 

His words tipped Crystal off that there was more to the situation than he had let on 

Henry and Crystal returned to the Miller residence with Skyler in tow. 

As they stepped through the front door, they were greeted by the sight of Georgina throwing a tantrum. Rhea and Audrey were also present. 

Georgina wept and wailed, “Joshua wouldn’t be infertile now if he didn’t risk himself saving Melora. He’s ill now, and all we’re asking is for Crystal to go for a test. How can you be so cold-hearted and turn us away?” 

Henry handed Skyler over to Crystal before asking her coldly, “Why don’t you beg the Lodge family for help, then?” 

The Lodge family? 

Georgina’s expression soured once she thought of Alfred. 

In the meantime, Henry helped Crystal to settle into a couch and added sneeringly, “Your fear of begging the Lodge family for help is nothing more than an admission of guilt toward Crystal. Why not repent over your past actions instead of causing a ruckus at the Miller residence?” 

Undeterred, Georgina insisted through gritted teeth, “But Joshua once saved Melora’s life!” 

Julia’s patience snapped. She retorted, “Yes, Joshua had indeed saved Melora then! But do you know why Melora fell into the water in the first place?” 

The Quinns were stunned by her outburst. 

Anxiously, Audrey clenched her fists. Didn’t the fever affect Melora’s memories? Did she somehow remember what happened? 

our 

Julia spat disgustedly, “Your daughter Audrey pushed Melora into the water! Back then, David and I had 

doubts about what happened, and two years ago, we hired a hypnotist to see Melora. Melora successfully recalled her memories of what happened, proving that Audrey was the culprit!” 

Naturally, Audrey would never admit to her crime. 

She looked toward Henry and protested, “I didn’t do it!” 

Everyone ignored her claims. 

The revelation put Georgina at a horrible disadvantage. She had been counting on using Joshua’s deed to pressure Crystal into donating her bone marrow. 

Henry frowned and declared. “Crystal can’t be a suitable match!” 

What? 

Georgina was unconvinced. 

She looked at Crystal suspiciously and asked her in anguish, “Are you like your mom? Do you still hold a grudge against Joshua? Is that why you refuse to save him?” 

Scoffing, Crystal announced, “I’ve registered as a bone marrow donor since I was twenty! You would’ve known by now if I was a match for Joshua.” 

A devastated Georgina slumped to the ground..
