Chapter 1496


    Except for the two insiders, no one else noticed anything unusual.


    However, when Holly saw that Crystal was lowering her head, in order to avoid any unnecessary


    misunderstanding, she took the initiative to exin, "Lil Star, Erik and I came here today for..."


    They were not here purely for a meal. There was something that Holly needed Erik''s help to deal


    with. Besides, two other colleagues came here with her. However, they wanted to go to the


    supermarket and had already left.


    Crystal interrupted her, "Brother, Sister Holly, I still have sses in the afternoon. If I''mte, my


    credits will be deducted. We''re going to bete. We''ll leave first!"


    The elevator door opened slowly at this time, and she took the senior sister''s hand and ran out


    quickly.


    Holly was a little confused.


    Erik pursed his lips tightly as he watched Crystal run away.


    On a clear night.


    Crystal was sitting in front of the desk by the window, reading a medical book and taking notes with


    a pen in her hand.


    The moonlight was beautiful tonight, and it shone through the window.


    When the tired Crystal leaned back and stretched, the phone on the table suddenly vibrated.


    Seeing the caller on the phone, she paused for two seconds and slowly picked it up. "Hello?"


    Erik said, "Lil Star, I''m downstairs!"


    Crystal stood up and looked down. As expected, she saw an off-road vehicle downstairs.


    Erik was standing by the car. Although he was drowned in the night, his body wrapped in military


    uniform was still tall and straight.


    Crystal held her phone tightly, changed into shoes and went downstairs.


    She ran out in a hurry. When she stepped out of the apartment door, she deliberately adjusted her


    pace and walked out slowly. A puzzled look appeared on her little face. "Brother, why are you


    here?"


    Erik raised his hand and gently pressed the hair in her ear. "To see you!"


    Crystal was at a loss.


    Since they came back from Ice city, there seemed to be something between them. They were not as


    close as before. One reason was that she had known that he liked Holly. Besides, it was also


    because she had subconsciously kept away from him.


    Crystal asked hesitantly, "Then... do you want to go upstairs and drink some tea?"


    "No need." Erik shook his head and looked at her. "Lil Star, I''m here to say goodbye to you!"


    "Goodbye?" Crystal was astonished.


    The dim yellow street lights seemed to be able to pierce into people''s eyes. Erik squinted and said,


    "I''m going back to the Tbridge City."


    Crystal was stunned. She couldn''t help but step forward and ask, "Go back to the Tbridge City?


    Why? You''ve just been transferred to Francis..."This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "After graduating from the military school, I went straight into the army. I haven''t spent much time


    with my mother over the years, so I can take better care of her when I go back to the Tbridge City.


    She always looks forward to me helping her manage thepany." Erik''s eyes were dark and there


    was a hint of loneliness in them. "The most important thing is that there is no point in staying here!"


    At that time, he insisted on going to Francis from Tbridge City, regardless of the repeated


    persuasion of the leaders in the army. The only reason for that was Crystal.


    But now, there was no need for Erik to stay.


    Crystal was silent.


    The news was too sudden for her.


    Crystal asked in a dull voice, "Brother, when are you leaving? I want to see you off!"


    Erik said, "I have a task toplete. I’ll leave tonight. After the task ispleted, I''ll be directly


    transferred back to the Tbridge City."


    Crystal was silent.


    No wonder he came here in the middle of the night just to say goodbye to her in advance.


    Crystal endured the pain in her heart. She pursed her lips and asked, "Brother, will we meet again in


    the future?"


    The Tbridge City was far away from here. She had already arranged her internship for the holiday. It


    was impossible for her to be a volunteer in the Tbridge City again. If Erik was transferred back to


    the Tbridge City, the chances for them to meet would be really limited.


    Erik nodded. "Yes."


    Crystal had an inexplicable feeling that they might not be able to meet again...


    Just like when they met again and recognized each other, Erik''s eyes were filled with warmth. He


    said softly, "Lil Star, take care of yourself, understand?"


    "Yes!" Crystal nodded slowly.


    She clenched her fists tightly, but her heart was empty.


    Erik stretched out his arms and gently held her in his arms.


    Crystal was in a trance. Through his clothes, she could feel his body temperature, which was


    transmitted to her little by little. It was so warm that tears appeared in her eyes.


    After a short hug, Erik let go of her.


    He put his hand on her head and rubbed her head as dotingly as before, saying, "Lil Star, I''m


    leaving."


    The corners of Crystal''s mouth were twitching. "Brother, goodbye..."


    "Goodbye!" Erik smiled.


    He waved at her. For the first time, he did not watch her leave, but started the car and left first.


    Crystal stood in the darkness for a long time.


    When she waspletely chilled by the coolness, she held her arms and turned back to the


    apartment.


    When she opened the door, the phone rang.


    Crystal picked it up. "Hello, mom!"


    Anthea asked with concern, "Lil Star, why is


    your voice so weak? Are you sick?"


    Lil Star hurriedly replied. "No. I''ve just been home. I might have been blown by the wind!"


    "That''s good. Drink more hot water!" Anthea reminded her.


    "Yes!" Crystal locked the door and looked up at the clock. She couldn''t help but ask, "Mom, it''s so


    late. Haven''t you gone to bed?"


    On the line, Anthea said, "Don''t mention it. I just came back from your Uncle Leonardo''s home. M


    and I have persuaded him for a night. I was exhausted!"


    "It is said that Holly decided to work in Tbridge City. How could Leonardo bear to let her go? When


    Holly went to college, he was very sad and even made a fuss. He doesn''t want Holly to be far away


    from them. But Holly has grown up and has her own idea. As parents, they can’t stop her..."


    After hanging up, Crystal leaned against the door.


    She lowered her head.


    It seemed that the snow fell from the trees and buried her deeply in it.


    Crystal finally understood what Erik meant by saying there was no point in staying here.


    If Holly went to the Tbridge City with him... Indeed, there was no need for him to stay in


    Francis.


    A weekter, at the airport.


    The taxi stopped at the entrance of the airport. Crystal put the change into her bag and followed the


    crowd into the airport.


    The airport hall was noisy. Passengers carrying suitcases were everywhere and radio announcers''


    voice sounded one after another.


    Crystal looked around but couldn''t find the person. She couldn''t help but take out her phone and


    make a call. After asking, she said in surprise," International Airport?"
