Chapter 123 Henry Is Serious
Crystal rested her head on the pillow, and she seemed to have become a lot weaker due to her sickness. “I don’t want to go to the hospital,” she muttered. I can’t bring myself to go to the hospital because of this. That would be so embarrassing.
Hearing that, Henry caressed her cheek before taking his phone from the bedside table and calling Jamie. “Jamie, send me a doctor.”
“Yes. My hotel room number is 3601.”
“No. The doctor is for Crystal. She’s sick.”
Jamie was shocked, and it took him a long time to snap back to his senses. Why aren’t they home but in a hotel? Mr. Miller sure knows how to spice things up!
Jamie was good at what he did, so he immediately found a good family doctor and brought the
doctor to Henry.
When they arrived at the hotel room, Henry opened the door for them.
Before the doctor could say anything, Henry frowned and asked Jamie, “Why did you bring a male doctor?”
Jamie was confused. Does the doctor’s gender matter?
Instead of inviting them in, Henry instructed Jamie, “Get me a female doctor. Not only do I need her to be a good doctor, but I also need her to have respect for one’s privacy.”
Henry knew Crystal would feel embarrassed easily.
As quick–witted as ever, Jamie instantly found a well–respected gynecologist in Barnwood. As it turned out, the gynecologist was truly skillful. Instead of an IV drip, the gynecologist merely- prescribed Crystal some oral medications.
By noon, Crystal’s body temperature had returned to normal.
However, she was worn out, so she continued sleeping.
Jamie also stayed at the hotel, and he was in shock as he helped tidy up the presidential suite.
Meanwhile, Henry was working on the phone on the couch in the bedroom. After a while, he approayfied Crystal and touched her hands. Her fingertips are so sofi, so it’s obvious she rarely does house chores. However, I told Marie to take a break since Crystal moved in. After that, Crystal did all the house chores and never complained once.
Suddenly, Henry recalled the days when they had just moved in together. Those days were blissful. Back then, she would Mush whenever I looked at her. I knew she liked me. Note, however the nurely blusher in front of me. When Seth asked her to address him as her husband, though, I saw that familiar shy

expression of hers.
Henry was having a hard time coming to terms with what was happening.
At around four in the afternoon, he brought Crystal back to the condominium, but she still felt
nauseous.
Hence, Jamie summoned the doctor again.
After checking over Crystal, the doctor said the morning–after pill was to be blamed for Crystal’s condition.
Upon sending everyone off, Henry returned to the bedroom. When he saw Crystal lying on the pillow, he couldn’t help thinking about what had happened the night before. I had so much fun last night, and I don’t think I’ve ever felt that way.
Despite that, he was rather remorseful because Crystal had fallen sick.
As he caressed her check, he said, “I won’t let you take the pill again.”
Embarrassed, Crystal averted her gaze.
Seeing that, Henry leaned in to kiss her, and he only retreated when he saw her blushing.
Crystal’s eyes brimmed with tears when she lifted her head to look at him. “Henry… I think it’s about time you stop,” she murmured. We have chemistry, but it has been so long, and the person he loves is back. He seems to enjoy Audrey’s company. Thus, I think he should set me free. That’s the best solution for
everyone.
Henry kept mum and stared at her. Stop? I want more! So far, she’s the only woman I want to sleep with! Silence ensued, and the atmosphere turned awkward.
Crystal didn’t want to beg him, so she uttered in a choked voice, “From now on, I won’t go to the hotel with you anymore.”
Henry gulped and once again recalled what had happened the night before.
As the atmosphere in the room became tense, his phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from a childhood friend, so Henry answered the call and put it on loudspeaker. “What is it, Charles?”
Charl Jenkins chuckled and asked, “Let’s go out tonight, Henry. What do you say? What happened last night was a buzzkill, but Audrey has organized another gathering tonight. We’ll get Seth to offer his apology! By the way, you didn’t do anything harsh to Crystal, did you? It’s normal for women to throw a tantrum once in a while. She’s jealous because she cares about you! I know your temper too well! If you want, you can ignore her for a few days, but that should be all. Don’t go overboard.”

Henry didn’t reply, Instead, he flashed Crystal a half–smile.
Crystal was so angry that her neck reddened, and she threw a pillow at Henry. “Who said I was jealous? Henry, you’re free to go have fun with whomever you want. It doesn’t concern mel
In response, Henry chuckled lightly and answered, “I didn’t say anything. Charles said it.
Charles fell silent when he heard the conversation between the couple.
After a long while, he changed his tone and said, “You’re there too, Crystal? Haha! I was joking!”
With that, he lowered his voice and said, “Henry, let’s go! It’s rare for Audrey to come back. Don’t be a buzzkill, okay?”
Charles was sure Henry would join the gathering, and the former knew Crystal wouldn’t dare to stop Henry from going out. No one in our group is dating a control freak. They’re always obedient and meek enough not to meddle too much in our affairs. Those that have bad lempers never last long.
In the end, Henry uttered flatly, “Count me out! I’m not interested!”
Charles was surprised. “Henry, I was told to convince you.”
“Crystal isn’t feeling well. I’m staying home to take care of her,” Henry replied honestly.
Charles was utterly stunned. We’ve always been taken care of by women. Why is Henry taking care of her? It’s not like he’s a doctor! Wait… Could it be?
In a deep voice, Charles asked, “Henry, are you serious this time?”
Henry showed Crystal respect and chuckled faintly before hanging up the phone.
With an attractive smile on his face, he looked at Crystal and asked, “Do you find my actions. satisfactory, Miss Winters?”
Crystal ignored him. Henry is compromising and being nice because that’s a trick men commonly use! If his feelings were sincere, he would give me a stable relationship instead of mere physical interactions.
However, their relationship became better after he relented and took care of her.
Over the weekend, Henry was either taking care of her or working in the study. He even went downstairs to feed the dog.
Knowing that Crystal wasn’t feeling well, he didn’t take advantage of her, but he kept kissing her.
He would then smile mischievously whenever he dragged her into a haze of lust.
Over those couple of days, Crystal felt as though things had returned to how they were back then. Deep down, however, she knew it was merely an illusion. He’s only being caring and nice because of his lust… He doesn’t care about me!

After taking two days to rest, Crystal felt a lot better, and she suddenly felt like drinking a cup of coffee.
As she was brewing her coffee, the doorbell rang.
Henry was in the study, so Crystal opened the door, thinking it was Melora.
However, Crystal froze when she opened the door and saw Audrey.
Audrey was smiling, and she didn’t seem as mean as the other night.
Even so, Crystal still didn’t dare to look Henry’s first crush in the eyes.
Having no plans to stop them from seeing each other, Crystal invited Audrey in and went to the study to ask Henry, “Ms. Quinn is here. Would you like to see her?”

Belonging naturally to the metropolitan elite with a plethora of properties registered to his name, Henry Miller was the preeminent attorney in the country. Nevertheless, he also assumed an additional role—Robert's forthcoming brother-in-law. Crystal hesitated momentarily, but then she mused, If Robert can cheat on me, why can't I indulge and enjoy myself too?Instead of pushing Henry away, she held onto him even tighter as she was beautiful and had an attractive figure.
