Crystal’s One Night of Love novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270 I Will Set You Free 

Crystal hurried down the stairs, her hair in a mess. 

She searched the entire mansion, but Henry was nowhere to be seen. He wasn’t even in the basement 

Where are you. Henry? 

Crystal was overwhelmed with dejection when a tall figure entered the mansion, his back silhou against the light. Although she couldn’t see his face, she recognized him instantly as Henry. 

“Henry!” She leaped into his arms. 

Henry wrapped an arm around her and lowered his head to nuzzle her neck. “What’s wrong? 

Crystal pressed her cheek against his chest. “Henry, I’m afraid you’ll never come back after leaving me!” 

“Don’t be silly. I’ll never do that. Stop crying. You’re making me upset, too.” 

He helped her to a chair and placed a bag of breakfast he had bought on the dining table. 

Crystal was dazed. Did he go out to buy breakfast? 

Henry brushed a hand across her cool cheek and flashed a gentle smile. “You have a poor appetite lately You loved eating at this breakfast shop, especially its croissant, right? Hurry, eat up!” 

He set the table for Crystal. 

Crystal’s hands were trembling as she took a bite of the croissant. 

It tasted salty, like her tears. 

Henry sat beside her and watched her eat. 

Once Crystal had finished half the croissant, he began, “Crystal, I’ve contacted a prestigious nursing hom with excellent facilities. I believe it would be the best place for my treatment.” 

Crystal dropped the croissant she was holding. 

Henry intended to reach for it, but Crystal was quicker. She snatched it and hastily gathered the crumbs. 

Henry stared at her silently. 

He knew she couldn’t accept it, but it was the best choice. 

He had already started to forget things, and many times during the day, he would forget her and Skyler. As he continued to lose his memories, he would eventually lose all feelings for them. 

At that point, it would be difficult for them to spend time together. 

Skyler had autism, and he didn’t want to scare her. 

“Crystal, perhaps I will regain my memories after undergoing treatment.” He tried to persuade her 

Crystal’s lips trembled.

She knew that he wouldn’t resort to this unless his condition was terrible, as Skyler was everything to him 

Crystal kept crying. Henry couldn’t bear it any longer. He gently held her in his arms and said. “Stop crying, okay? If you cry, the child in your womb will also cry with you!” 

Crystal hurted herself in his embrace and gripped his shirt. 

That afternoon, Henry locked himself up again. 

Crystal lingered at the basement entrance, her fingers tracing the surface of the heavy door. 

She dared not enter, fearing the possibility of meeting his distant and unfamiliar gaze. The sight of him reading his diary to extend their fleeting moments together weighed heavily on her heart, making it too painful to bear. 

She knew that Henry was paying a huge price for his decision as he would often suffer from headaches. 

Henry, will you stop suffering only if you forget about me? 

Without a word, Crystal left the basement and told the driver to prepare to head out. 

The housekeeper asked carefully. “Should I deliver some food to Mr. Miller?” 

Crystal was about to get into the car when she heard the question. Lowering her gaze, she answered, “He has everything he needs inside. Let him spend some time alone and don’t disturb him.” 

Henry was a proud man, so she knew he wouldn’t want anyone else to see him in a miserable state. 

When Crystal got into the car, the driver asked, “Mrs. Miller, where are we going?” 

“Mount North Hospital!” 

The driver remained silent and concentrated on driving. Having served the Miller family for a long time. he was trained to keep confidential matters to himself. He couldn’t help but sympathize with the situation Henry and Crystal were facing. 

Half an hour later, they arrived at the nursing home, and Crystal met the top doctor. 

After her visit, she got back into the car, her tears welling up as she couldn’t shake off the doctor’s words from her thoughts. 

The doctor had informed her that Henry’s memories seemed to have stopped around five years ago. Although he had lost a portion of his memories, he could manage his daily life and tasks without much trouble Attempting to forcibly restore his memories would likely be counterproductive and could potentially cause him significant distress. The doctor had previously attempted this approach, and Henry had experienced extreme pain as a result. 

The doctor had advised her to weigh her options carefully before making a decision 

Henry tried to get treated? How much pain did he go through? 

Crystal shut her eyes gendy as sadness overwhelmed her heart. 

The driver remained silent and handed Crystal a few tissues, offering his support without words. 

Instead of heading home, Crystal went straight to Sceas Corporation and entered the space which uses to

Soon Sarah entered with coffee for her 

Crystal instructed, “Please ask Jamie to come and see me 

Sarah nodded and replied with a smile, “Sure, Miss Winters.” 

She exited the office, and Jamie entered shortly after. 

Since Henry wasn’t around, Jamie had a lot on her plate. Walking in with a pile of papers, Jamme stated. “Miss Winters. I require your signature on these documents.” 

Crystal gestured her to put the documents down. 

Confused, Jamie placed the documents on the desk as told. 

Crystal gestured for Jamie to take a seat. After a prolonged silence, she asked, “What was Henry like before?” 

She was aware of his personality when they initially met, but she was curious to hear Jamie’s perspective as the latter had worked with him for so long. 

Jamie was quite surprised to hear that question. 

Her lips formed a gentle smile as she told Crystal about the past-how Henry had established Adroit Law Firm after graduating, his victory in his first lawsuit, and his typical arrogance and indifference. 

Jamie recounted various anecdotes, and eventually, a bashful smile appeared on her face. “I tend to talk a lot, Crystal.” 

Crystal responded gently. “I love hearing your story!” 

Inwardly, Jamie felt touched.
