Chapter 136 Undergoing The Surgery Alone.

Crystal gradually shut her eyes.

She experienced periodic pain in her lower abdomen.

Amidst the pain, she faintly heard the sound of something shattering. I guess it’s the sound of my heart being shattered into pieces.

She adjusted her posture, her eyes filled with confusion yet determination.

She heard herself saying. “Just go, Henry!”

Joshua and his wife could not help but express their attitude toward Crystal, commending her for being so considerate.

Henry got up, took off his coat, and handed it to her.

Yet, when she felt the warmth of the coat, she pushed it away with a force that brought her in contact with his skin.

Henry was rendered speechless for a moment.

“I don’t need it,” Crystal responded softly. Why bother leaving a piece of clothing behind since he has chosen to be Audrey?

What significance did it hold anyway?

Henry had a short temper, and at that moment, the fact that Crystal directly challenged his authority in front of others infuriated him. His tone became somewhat rigid as he said, “I’ll send you home later!”

Crystal remained silent.

After a short wait, it was finally Crystal’s turn.

As she stood up, she did not look at him. Her ego did not permit her to plead with him anymore. There are plenty of men out there. Perhaps, ninety-nine percent of men are not as outstanding as he is, but what does that matter? What a woman desires is a man who’ll prioritize her. So what if he’s great but always has another woman on his mind?

Crystal steadied herself, taking one step at a time and heading to the examination room.

Henry stood still with a grim expression.

Joshua’s wife urged gently, “Henry, let’s go and take a look at Audrey.”

Joshua hesitated for a moment but eventually led him to the VIP ward.

Meanwhile, at the emergency room, the gynecologist looked at Crystal, who was in such excruciating pain, before glancing behind her. “Where’s your partner?”

Crystal felt embarrassed.

She lay on the examination table, her eyes slightly moist. “He’s busy.”

The experienced gynecologist, sensing the situation, could not help but voice her dissatisfaction. “Yet, he could still make time for physical pleasure?”

After expressing her discontentment for a while, she proceeded with the examination.

The doctor pressed Crystal’s body a few times, causing her to spasm in pain. “Ouch...”

She had never experienced such agony.

The middle-aged gynecologist’s gaze became more intense.

After glancing at Crystal, she gently put down her clothes and turned to the nurse. “Prepare for surgery! The patient is now in a critical condition because of the abdominal pressure!”

Crystal’s mind went blank.

The doctor quickly completed the surgical paperwork, reprimanding her, “If you had come any later, it could have turned into a life-threatening situation! Although it’s a minor surgery and you can be discharged afterward, you still need someone to be with you. Do you have any family members we can contacı?”

Crystal delicately caressed her lower abdomen.

The pain throbbed, causing her to wince.

She gazed up at the ceiling and softly uttered. “I’ll ask my friend to come over, then.”

The doctor glanced at Crystal, feeling a slight pang of sympathy for her. She’s such a beautiful girl. I wonder which man played with her emotions and didn’t bother to take care of her Crystal’s hand trembled as she dialed Madison’s number.

Upon hearing that, Madison cussed while putting on her clothes, “That b*stard! What the hell is wrong with him?”

Crystal signed the consent form and underwent the surgery.

The procedure was minor, but the pain was immense.

She gritted her teeth, clutching the white hospital bedsheet tightly as she fought to endure the pain. In the midst of the excruciating haze, she could almost hear Henry’s voice whispering in her ear, Does it feel good, Crystal? I feel so good.”

Crystal turned her face away, tears streaming down unexpectedly.

By the time Madison arrived, the surgery was already over. Crystal’s face was pale as paper, and her body felt weak, barely able to support itself on her trembling legs.

The pain she had endured, the humiliation she had faced outweighed all the love and affection Henry had ever shown her.

Madison could not help but burst into tears upon seeing her in such a condition. “Where’s that j*rk? Can’t he refrain from meeting his old flame at a time like this?”

Crystal let out a faint smile. Yes, he has left me to visit Audrey. He had said he would just go and see her for a while, but it has been close to an hour, and there’s no sign of his return.

Nonetheless, it did not bother Crystal anymore. She was ready to part ways with him.

From that point onward, she relinquished any expectations she had for him. His complicated relationship with Audrey was no longer her concern.

After retrieving the medication from the dispensary, Madison helped Crystal and accompanied her as they left the hospital ward.

When Crystal found herself at the hospital’s outpatient department on the first floor, she unexpectedly encountered Audrey, her family, and Henry. Well, well Isn’t it fate that our paths intertwine once again?

Joshua and his wife were holding Audrey on both sides as they walked, with Henry trailing behind, holding a bag of medicine in his hand.

His demeanor was natural as if he was a part of the Quinn family.

Audrey, on the other hand, appeared to be cheerful.

Her complexion was rosy, and her voice tenderly said, “Henry, you really didn’t have to come and visit me! You left Miss Winters alone, and she’s probably upset now!”

Henry seemed to have mumbled something, but Crystal could not catch his words.

Despite feeling disgusted by what she saw, she turned to Madison and said softly, “Come, Madison. Let’s go.”

“No way, I’m not leaving just like that. The ill-tempered Madison gently let go of Crystal’s hand and walked up to them.

In a sharp and shrill voice, she exclaimed, “You must be really busy, huh, Mr. Miller? You abandoned Crystal in such a state, forcing her to undergo surgery alone. And yet, you found time to visit your ex. Henry Miller, you’ve shown yourself to be a f*cking despicable man. You’re ten times worse than Zachary!”

Henry knitted his brows. Giving Madison the cold shoulder, he turned his attention to Crystal, who was standing behind her.

Crystal leaned against the wall, her face as pale as paper.

Her lips were devoid of any color, as if a gentle touch would cause her to crumble.

After handing the medicine to Joshua, Henry approached to support Crystal. Madison’s cycs turned bloodshot when she observed his reaction.

However, Crystal gently pushed him away.

She did not want him to go close to her.

With a deep breath, she spoke in a weak voice. “Henry, it’s over between us! It was over the moment you chose to visit Audrey.

From now on, if you wish to continue to help my father with the lawsuit, I’ll be eternally grateful. But if you refuse, I’ll have to seek Robert’s help. I’m sure hell find a way.”

Crystal’s words drained her of almost all her strength.

Henry instinctively wanted to hold her. “I didn’t know you’d undergone surgery. Had I known that earlier, I wouldn’t have left you.”

Crystal remained silent. She stood there, tilting her head slightly, and replied, “Henry, I did have feelings for you. But now, I’m no longer certain because falling for someone like you, with all your rules and privileges, makes me, an ordinary girl, feel so insignificant. I’m afraid I can’t measure up to your expectations. I think it’s best we part ways instead of wasting each other’s time.”

After uttering those words, Crystal gave him a tender smile akin to morning dew delicately adorning a flower blossoming on the edge of a cliff.

Her words struck Henry, causing a sharp pain in his heart.

Crystal then turned around, leaning on Madison for support as they moved forward.

Henry’s grip on her arm tightened, his voice strained as he called out. “Crystal...”

“Let go!” Crystal exclaimed, “It’s over between us, Henry. From now on, I won’t have any feelings. for you anymore. Rest assured. I won’t interfere in your relationship with Audrey.”
