Chapter 300 Missing Skyler And Crystal
The partition in the washroom was particularly thin.
With his head resting by Crystal’s neck, Henry spoke in an extremely raspy voice. “Crystal, I don’t know if this is love, but it makes me uncomfortable every time I see you interacting. with another man! Besides Robert and Ryan, I’m now even jealous of Zachary!”
He pressed his lips gently against her hair. “I don’t know how to love, Crystal. Teach me, will you?”
Crystal was saddened by his words.
He has lost his memory. If only Lara didn’t appear and he told me this earlier, things would have turned out very differently. I shouldn’t think of this anymore… You’re such a despicable person, Crystal!
As she lowered her gaze, her expression tender, Henry couldn’t contain the lust within him.
Kissing her was the only thing he could think of doing at that moment.
Pinning her against the partition, he planted a deep and passionate kiss on her lips.
However, Crystal didn’t want it at all.
After failing to push him away, she gave him a slap in her desperation.
The abrupt turn of events stunned both of them.
With her back against the wall, she could feel her throat tighten as she spoke in a thick voice. “Henry, how many times do I have to make it clear? We’ll never be together. Not now, not
ever!”
Do you think divorcing and moving out with two children is easy? No, it isn’t at all!
Eyes red, Crystal pushed the door open and left.
Rooted to the spot as he watched her leaving silhouette, Henry suddenly felt as if he had lost her forever It didn’t matter that she was still in love with the past him.
Unwilling to remain there any longer, he ran after her as fast as he could.
Given the conflict between them, they gave each other the cold shoulder in the ward. It was so obvious that even Madison could see what was going oft

When he took his leave from Crystal, she simply responded in an indifferent tone.
Only when Henry was gone did Madison remark, “It seems to me that his attitude is clearly different from before.”
It went without saying that Crystal wasn’t oblivious to it.
She could tell that Henry had developed feelings for her and cared about her more than before. However, she had lost faith in their marriage and no longer wanted to wait.
In fact, she figured that separation would do them both a lot of good.
Respecting her decision, Madison didn’t comment any further.
After being rejected, Henry sat in the car, smoking with his head hung low.
Just as he was about to start the engine, Lara appeared right beside the car.
“I’m pregnant, Mr. Miller,” she uttered in a soft voice.
Seemingly unfazed by the words, he let out a long puff of smoke as he sneered, “I don’t recall laying a finger on you!”
Lara clarified at once, “The child belongs to Mr. Cramer.”
Crystal and Zachary’s collaboration popped into Henry’s mind immediately. I can’t believe
that she…
Staring at Lara’s face, Henry couldn’t help but think about how much Crystal hated the former.
With her heart pounding furiously, Lara bit her lip and replied, “If it hadn’t been for Mrs. Miller’s scheming, I wouldn’t be pregnant with someone else’s child. Mr. Miller… if I abort the child, is there still a chance… I know that you and she are divorced…”
At that very instant, Henry ran out of patience.
He didn’t deny that her face reminded him of Audrey, and there was a time when he wished her happiness.
However, things were different when the love of a man’s life had changed. After his divorce from Crystal, he seldom thought of Audrey. Instead, his mind would be filled with images of Crystal every time he lay down.
Even in his dreams, he would see her curled up tenderly in his arms, calling out his name.
After throwing his cigarette butt away, Henry flatly replied, “Don’t ever show your face in

front of me again!”
Thereafter, the car window gradually wound up.
When Lara attempted to stop it, her hand was caught in between and was subsequently bruised.
However, Henry simply lowered the window to release her hand before flooring the accelerator to speed off.
Standing in the dust that was kicked up, Lara finally understood that all Henry ever felt for her was sympathy and nothing else.
When Henry picked Skyler up, the latter looked particularly delighted. She bid her teacher farewell while holding her father’s hand.
When Henry lifted her into the car, she wrapped her arms around his neck and. gave
him a gentle peck. Warmed by the gesture, he asked, “Did you miss me over the last few days?”
“I did!”
Henry gave her a kiss before continuing, “Call me whenever you miss me, all right? I’ll definitely be there in thirty minutes!”
Upon settling into the child seat, the brown-haired Skyler looked up. “Daddy, did you miss me or Mommy?”
What a smart child!
He tousled her hair as he replied, “I missed both of you!”
On the way back to the hospital, Henry bought Skyler a fried chicken meal. With his daughter chatting happily throughout the entire journey, Henry’s spirits inadvertently improved.
However, his face drastically darkened the moment he pushed the VIP ward’s door open.
Right then, Ryan was sitting close to Crystal on the couch, deep in a discussion about work.
All of a sudden, something he said elicited a faint smile from her, making for a mesmerizing. sight.
When Henry cleared his throat, Ryan saw the former’s glowering expression the moment he looked up. Feeling embarrassed, he said, “Miss Winters, that’s all for today.”
Crystal threw Henry a glance before escorting Ryan out.

After she returned and closed the door behind her, Henry couldn’t help but remark, “Is it necessary to sit so close when discussing work?”
Skyler, who was in the midst of chewing on her fried chicken, commented, “Daddy is upset!”
Not wanting to discuss such matters in front of the children, Crystal played with Skyler by letting her solve some math puzzles.
After being implicitly censured, Henry realized that he had no right to make a fuss despite the jealousy roiling within him.
