Chapter 137: Chapter 137

Chapter 137 I Wish You Happiness After finishing her sentence, Crystal shrugged Henry off.

“Madison, let’s go!”

Madison felt hurt, sad, and angry for Crystal.

Flipping her middle finger at Henry, she snapped, “You jerk! I hope you trip on your way to hell!”

Crystal lowered her gaze and said softly. “That’s enough, Madison. Henry and I are parting on good terms.”

Madison was well aware that Crystal had suppressed her emotions and chose to let things slide for John’s sake.

If Crystal could endure the mistreatment, then so could she.

Choking back on emotions, Madison said, “Okay! Let’s go home.”

Once again, however, Henry reached out to grab Crystal’s hand.

In response, Crystal shook him off.

“Miss Winters,” Joshua called out, stepping forward and apologizing carnestly, “Miss Winters, I’m sorry for what happened.

Audrey is young and ignorant. My wife and I were inconsiderate, too. I hope you can give Henry a chance to explain himself for my sake.”

Crystal flashed him a faint smile.

Her heart was breaking and yet, she still had to waste her time entertaining these people.

Madison is the only person who’s on my side.

Crystal turned and stared straight into Joshua’s eyes.

“Mr. Quinn, it’s not your fault. Audrey is your precious daughter, and it is only natural for you and your wife to take her side. There is nothing wrong with that. As for Miss Audrey, there is also nothing wrong with her pursuing the man she loves.”

Crystal took a deep breath and swept her gaze across everyone present before continuing slowly, “My dalliance with Henry was just a fleeting encounter. I wish him and Audrey a lifetime of happiness and bliss.”

Joshua was taken aback by her speech.

He had not expected the young woman in front of him to be so determined and unwavering, just like how Krystal was.

Back then, when he and Krystal quarreled due to a misunderstanding, the latter had also turned away from him with the same, tear-filled eyes.

Krystal, where are you now? If our child is a girl, will she suffer the same miserable fate as Miss Winters. here?

Joshua was a soft-hearted man by nature.

As he thought of his own flesh and blood whom he would never have the chance to meet, tears welled up in his eyes. He wanted to say something to comfort the girl in front of him, but Crystal had already walked away.

She was in so much pain, but she held her head up high.

The last thing she wanted was to become the butt of a joke when she had already been humiliated enough.

Madison held Crystal’s arm, providing her with all the support she needed. Her voice cracked when she said, “Crystal, can you just drop the act? Just let it out if you feel like crying. Everyone has their fair share of experiences with scumbags. We should just fight back since these jerks have bullied us. Don’t hold back!”

Crystal paused in her tracks and whispered softly, “I will forget him and start anew.”

Madison was surprised by her declaration.

Henry, who had caught up with them, happened to hear Crystal’s words.

His handsome face went blank. For a split second, he wasn’t sure how to react.

Crystal said she would forget me. Is the really going to do that? If she cut ties with me, would she eventually treat me like a stranger? Will she calmly introduce me to her new boyfriend someday, just like how she treats Robert?

Memories of their past flooded Henry’s mind. He thought of the day he first laid eyes on Crystal, the car ride back from the golf course when she had tried to mask her inexperience with confidence, and the sight of Crystal playing the piano in the restaurant.

Those memories about her made his heart flutter, for he had, without a doubt, fallen for her.

Then, he thought of the intimate moments they shared in every corner of his condominium. He had always loved nibbling her car and whispering sweet nothings to her.

Crystal was his first true love.

Arthat instance, he regretted everything he did.

Henry had never felt such regret when it came to relationships.

When he broke up with Audrey back then, he was determined and had never once felt any regret over the years.

She might’ve once been an important part of his youth, and he might’ve been inclined to her because of Joshua, but he had never once wondered whether he could have stopped Audrey from leaving him if only he had spent more time with her.

Nevertheless, when he hurt Crystal, he wished he could turn back time and take it all back. The thought of losing her killed him inside, and he refused to let things end that way.

Gripping the car door, he fixed his gaze on her. “Let me take you home.”

Sitting in the car, Crystal said in a surprisingly calm voice, “Henry, let’s just end things completely right here and right now. I’m not like you. I don’t like dragging out a break-up. Nor do I like being entangled in a complicated relationship.”

Henry’s brows knitted together. But I just want to explain myself!

All of a sudden, Crystal teared up and cried out, “Henry, I’m in so much pain right now. Can you just let me go?”

Henry was momentarily stunned, and just as he was in a daze, Crystal slammed the car door shut. nipping the man’s finger in the process.

His finger was immediately bruised and turned purple.

Instinctively, he took a step back, holding his throbbing finger while Madison called him a jerk before driving oll Henry saw tears rolling down Crystal’s cheeks through the car window. He could not be sure whether it was because of the pain or because of him.

Audrey approached him.

“Henry, your finger... How could she do this to you? Let me take you to the doctor!”

Audrey’s comforting words only served to add fuel to Henry’s flames of anger.

He shoved her away and yelled, “Get lost!”

Audrey gave a start and glanced at Henry’s grim face. She had never seen him like that before. He’s acting as if his wife had just cheated on him... No, probably even worse than that.

Audrey’s heart began racing.

Is he truly in love with Crystal?

Henry got into his car without another word.

He drove so fast that he reached Crystal’s house almost as soon as Madison’s car pulled over.

3/4 Chapter 137 I Wish You ...

+10 pearls Crystal got out of the car and walked past him without even sparing him a glance, as if he was merely a passerby to her.

His heart wrenched in pain at her indifference.

“Crystal!”

Madison wrapped her arm around Crystal and threw two pieces of paper at Henry.

“These are Crystal’s medical report and surgery consent form! You should take a good look at it! Where were you when she needed you? You jerk! You’re not worthy of Crystal! You don’t deserve the love she gave you. You belong with someone as promiscuous as Audrey! Stay away from other women!”

Madison felt much better after giving Henry a piece of her mind and headed upstairs with Crystal.

After a while, the lights in Crystal’s condominium turned on.

Henry leaned against his Bentley as he perused the documents. The words stole his breath away, He was the one who had injured Crystal and left her all alone in the operating room.

Henry remembered the first time they had been intimate in bed. She had cried from the pain, her tears soaking into the pillow.

She had always been so afraid of pain!

Instead of getting back into the car, he stood there and smoked, remaining there for almost the whole night.

The next morning, Madison left the condominium to get some breakfast. As she passed by his Bentley, she spat, “Scu mbag!”

Henry ignored her.

Once Madison was out of sight, he immediately went to Crystal’s condominium and rang her doorbell.

Thinking Madison was back, Crystal limped over to get the door, only to see Henry standing outside.

He was bolding a bag filled with supplements and another bag filled with breakfast from her favorite diner.

Crystal did not let him in.

“Henry, I’m just feeling unwell. It’s not like I’ve miscarried. There’s no need for you to do this.”

Besides, it’s too late. My heart is already broken.
