Chapter 135

Chapter 13 5 I Am In Pain Too

Gently, Crystal placed her hand over her heart after speaking.

It hurts and it is really painful!

She had never thought that she and Henry would have such an ending.

Henry stared at her, his gaze disconcertingly intense. Crystal had never seen him like that before.

She had a nagging feeling that he would slap her at any moment.

However, the slap did not come.

Henry did not hit her. Instead of being angry, he was amused. "I recall you giving Melora an amulet before, and yet you want her life now?" Crystal smiled in response.

Glancing at Henry, she said, "Mr. Miller, we'll be fine if you allow us to be."

Henry swallowed imperceptibly. Mirroring her smile, he said, "You're brilliant, Crystal. I can see why Seth and Robert fell to you."

Gently, Henry grabbed her chin and leaned forward.

His tone carried a hint of danger as he said, "Unexpectedly, Miss Winters is covered in thorns. It makes me want to pluck them for you." Crystal's eyes dampened, and her nose turned red.

She knew that Henry was making a compromise.

Although her body had relaxed, it was becoming harder to bear the furtive pain. She knew that the pain came from her stomach, but she had no idea precisely where. Crystal's face paled as she tried to hold it in.

Dazedly, she said, "Please see yourself out."

It's over.

She and Henry were over. Everything was over.

As if he echoed her thought, Henry got up briskly and left John's incriminating evidence on the table for her.

Striding to the door, Henry hesitated and turned around as he gripped the door handle.

Over the years, he had always acted decisively and ruthlessly. He was rarely indecisive like how he was now. He wanted to know if she was truly unwilling to stay by his side. He wanted to know if she would refuse to listen to him.

However, when he turned around, he saw Crystal lying by the coffee table. Her slender body was curled up, and her face had lost its color. "Crystal!"

Hurrying over. Henry bent over and picked her up. "What's wrong? I'll take you to the hospital immediately!"

Crystal made no attempts to s

him.

Feeling as if the entire region of her abdomen was on fire, she could no longer bear to keep standing. Even lying down did not make it better.

Vaguely, she guessed whatever that was happening to her had something to do with what had occurred earlier.

Her body was not prepared, and Henry was so aggressive.

"Henry... It hurts!"

She forgot their argument as she lay in his arms. The warmth that his body emanated made her feel better. It made her feel as if she was still alive amidst the sea of pain. Henry was a man after all.

No matter what his feeling for Crystal was, he would never leave her to her own device in a situation like this.

He carried her into the car and passed her a travel mug with some water in it.

"Drink some of this water."

Accepting the mug, Crystal tried to twist open the lid to no avail.

Henry took it back and popped open the lid before giving it back to her.

Refusing to waste a moment longer, he drove to the nearest hospital. Due to the urgency of the situation, there was no time to look for an acquaintance. Crystal felt a bit better after sipping some water.

However, she still felt horrible and was in pain. Her stomach felt bloated and heavy.

She leaned against the back of the chair, her complexion pale.

"Henry, thank you."

"Stop talking! I'll wake you when we arrive at the hospital."

It was unusual for Henry's voice to sound this warm. Moreover, they had just had a ferocious argument.

Crystal felt a soft sensation in her heart.

The two of them had been too irrational earlier.

She believed that he would not truly go against her father, and she had no intentions of using Robert to deal with Melora. They had spoken the words hastily. Crystal wanted to continue to speak to him, but she was in too much pain to

do so.

Blearily, she decided to have a proper talk with him after she was better.

Half an hour later, the Bentley Continental arrived at the hospital.

With Crystal in his arms, Henry got out of the car and rushed into the emergency department.

"Are you feeling better?"

Crystal nodded briefly before shaking her head.

Henry hastened his footsteps, and soon, they arrived at the counter of the emergency department.

The nurse inquired as to which department they wanted.

"The gynecology department," Crystal murmured through pale lips.

Henry's eyes darkened imperceptibly. Was it because I was too rough on her? Did I hurt her?

The thought ran through his mind as he stared at Crystal.

She immediately lowered her gaze. The atmosphere between them was strange.

Henry registered for Crystal. Following that, he helped her to one of the benches as they waited... Fortunately, there was only one patient in front of them. Crystal felt unwell as she slumped against the back of the bench with a pale face.

Gently, Henry turned her head.

She stared at him, a slightly stunned look in her eyes.

Perhaps it was because of her vulnerability, for his tone was soft as he suggested, "Lean against my shoulder and rest for a bit. It should be our turn soon." 3/5

Crystal felt her throat tighten.

Just as she was about to lean over, a warm and elegant voice called out to them, "Henry."

Henry was surprised to see Joshua and his wife, Rhea, standing before them.

Joshua looked haggard, while Rhea appeared to be ill at ease. Her eyes were swollen as if she had been crying for some time.

As Henry was supporting Crystal's body, he could not get up. He settled for nodding briefly, "Mr. Quinn, Mrs. Quinn."

Joshua's gaze landed on Crystal.

He asked hesitantly, "Is Miss Winters unwell?"

Naturally, Henry wasn't about to reveal the details of the argument they had to an outsider. Reservedly, he replied. "Yes, she's not feeling well." Rhea gave e her husband a furtive look.

Joshua understood what she meant. After deliberating for a moment, he said, "Henry, we did not intend to bother you about this matter, but since we ran into you here... Audrey is not in the best of conditions. Could you, perhaps... help her with it?"

Rhea covered her face and broke into tears as soon as her husband finished speaking.

"Joshua, I know we're asking a lot from you! Audrey took ten sleeping pills after her fiancé canceled their engagement. Henry, please. I'm begging you! Audrey is our only daughter!"

She turned to Crystal, pleading desperately, "Joshua told me all about you, Miss Winters. I know that you're a sensible person. I'm sure you won't sit back and watch as someone dies. Audrey is truly in bad shape!"

Crystal listened to the other woman's words in a daze.

Audrey took sleeping pills? I'm a sensible and understanding person?

She could feel Henry's grip on her hand tightening and loosening as he struggled with his inner turmoil.

It was obvious that he wanted to go to Audrey. After all, there was no way he would not worry about his first crush.

Yeah, I'm only in slight pain while Audrey lost the love of her life and relationship...

Crystal felt desolate as she forced a slight smile on her face and turned to Henry.

She refused to take the high road. Instead, she was going to let Henry decide for himself.

Their eyes met.

Henry stroked Crystal's hair gently as he murmured h oar sely, "I'll go take a look and come back soon. Wait for me here, okay?" Crystal felt as if she was suffocating.

She bore the pain and said softly, "Henry, I'm in pain too."

Audrey only had herself to blame for the pain she was feeling at the moment.

However, the pain that wracked Crystal's body was caused by Henry. How could he abandon me for Audrey? How could he?

Henry frowned. "I'll be back soon. It won't take long."

Crystal knew that he was berating her for not being understanding.

Even Rhea's tone was somewhat brusque as she said, "Miss Winters, Audrey's and Henry's relationship is a thing of the past. You don't have to worry about it! They've already broken up years ago and are jus friends now."
