Chapter 270 I Will Set You Free
Crystal hurried down the stairs, her hair in a mess.
She searched the entire mansion, but Henry was nowhere to be seen. He wasn’t even in the basement
Where are you. Henry?
Crystal was overwhelmed with dejection when a tall figure entered the mansion, his back silhou against
the light. Although she couldn’t see his face, she recognized him instantly as Henry.
“Henry!” She leaped into his arms.
Henry wrapped an arm around her and lowered his head to nuzzle her neck. “What’s wrong?
Crystal pressed her cheek against his chest. “Henry, I’m afraid you’ll nevere back after leaving
me!”
“Don’t be silly. I’ll never do that. Stop crying. You’re making me upset, too.”
He helped her to a chair and ced a bag of breakfast he had bought on the dining table.
Crystal was dazed. Did he go out to buy breakfast?
Henry brushed a hand across her cool cheek and shed a gentle smile. “You have a poor appetite
lately You loved eating at this breakfast shop, especially its croissant, right? Hurry, eat up!”
He set the table for Crystal.
Crystal’s hands were trembling as she took a bite of the croissant.
It tasted salty, like her tears.
Henry sat beside her and watched her eat.
Once Crystal had finished half the croissant, he began, “Crystal, I’ve contacted a prestigious nursing
hom with excellent facilities. I believe it would be the best ce for my treatment.”
Crystal dropped the croissant she was holding.
Henry intended to reach for it, but Crystal was quicker. She snatched it and hastily gathered the
crumbs.
Henry stared at her silently.
He knew she couldn’t ept it, but it was the best choice.
He had already started to forget things, and many times during the day, he would forget her and Skyler.
As he continued to lose his memories, he would eventually lose all feelings for them.
At that point, it would be difficult for them to spend time together.
Skyler had autism, and he didn’t want to scare her.
“Crystal, perhaps I will regain my memories after undergoing treatment.” He tried to persuade her
Crystal’s lips trembled.

She knew that he wouldn’t resort to this unless his condition was terrible, as Skyler was everything to
him
Crystal kept crying. Henry couldn’t bear it any longer. He gently held her in his arms and said. “Stop
crying, okay? If you cry, the child in your womb will also cry with you!”
Crystal hurted herself in his embrace and gripped his shirt.
That afternoon, Henry locked himself up again.
Crystal lingered at the basement entrance, her fingers tracing the surface of the heavy door.
She dared not enter, fearing the possibility of meeting his distant and unfamiliar gaze. The sight of him
reading his diary to extend their fleeting moments together weighed heavily on her heart, making it too
painful to bear.
She knew that Henry was paying a huge price for his decision as he would often suffer from
headaches.
Henry, will you stop suffering only if you forget about me?
Without a word, Crystal left the basement and told the driver to prepare to head out.
The housekeeper asked carefully. “Should I deliver some food to Mr. Miller?”
Crystal was about to get into the car when she heard the question. Lowering her gaze, she answered,
“He has everything he needs inside. Let him spend some time alone and don’t disturb him.”
Henry was a proud man, so she knew he wouldn’t want anyone else to see him in a miserable state.
When Crystal got into the car, the driver asked, “Mrs. Miller, where are we going?”
“Mount North Hospital!”
The driver remained silent and concentrated on driving. Having served the Miller family for a long time.
he was trained to keep confidential matters to himself. He couldn’t help but sympathize with the
situation Henry and Crystal were facing.
Half an hourter, they arrived at the nursing home, and Crystal met the top doctor.
After her visit, she got back into the car, her tears welling up as she couldn’t shake off the doctor’s
words from her thoughts.
The doctor had informed her that Henry’s memories seemed to have stopped around five years ago.
Although he had lost a portion of his memories, he could manage his daily life and tasks without much
trouble Attempting to forcibly restore his memories would likely be counterproductive and could
potentially cause him significant distress. The doctor had previously attempted this approach, and
Henry had experienced extreme pain as a result.
The doctor had advised her to weigh her options carefully before making a decision
Henry tried to get treated? How much pain did he go through?
Crystal shut her eyes gendy as sadness overwhelmed her heart.
The driver remained silent and handed Crystal a few tissues, offering his support without words.
Instead of heading home, Crystal went straight to Sceas Corporation and entered the space which

She carefully an her hands over every inch of the
Soon Sarah entered with coffee for her
Crystal instructed, “Please ask Jamie toe and see me
Sarah nodded and replied with a smile, “Sure, Miss Winters.”
She exited the office, and Jamie entered shortly after.
Since Henry wasn’t around, Jamie had a lot on her te. Walking in with a pile of papers, Jamme
stated. “Miss Winters. I require your signature on these documents.”
Crystal gestured her to put the documents down.
Confused, Jamie ced the documents on the desk as told.
Crystal gestured for Jamie to take a seat. After a prolonged silence, she asked, “What was Henry like
before?”
She was aware of his personality when they initially met, but she was curious to hear Jamie’s
perspective as thetter had worked with him for so long.
Jamie was quite surprised to hear that question.
Her lips formed a gentle smile as she told Crystal about the past-how Henry had established Adroit
Law Firm after graduating, his victory in his firstwsuit, and his typical arrogance and indifference.
Jamie recounted various anecdotes, and eventually, a bashful smile appeared on her face. “I tend to
talk a lot, Crystal.”
Crystal responded gently. “I love hearing your story!”
Inwardly, Jamie felt touched.
Having spent years in the legal industry, Jamie had encountered numerous couples who drifted apart
and eventually turned into adversaries in their pursuit of financial gain.
She could feel that Crystal and Henry were deeply in love.
Jamie was at a loss for words when Crystal got to her feet and said, “Help me set up a press
conference. I have something to announce.”
Realization dawned upon Jamie.
Crystal seemed indifferent, but there was a hint of determination on her expression as though she had
come to a decision after careful consideration.
After a brief silence, Jamie nodded. “I’ll get on it right away. Miss Winters!”
With that, she left and closed the door.
Crystal entered the private room and swung open the closet door Inside she found a collection of
Henry’s shirts neatly arranged, along with a set of elegant female attire from Issey Miyake Crystal

to change her outfit opting for formal clothing and shipped into a pair of heels.
Standing in front of the mirror, she tied up her hair and put on some light makeup
She did everything slowly George’s words yed in her mind, reminding her that Henry would have to
betficarnate again.
Henry if I can’t make you stay, and if destiny leads you to sear into a broader horizon, Ill set you free. I
will want until youe back to me.
One hourter, Crystal officially met the media for the first time as Seeas Corporation’s CEO.
As the daughter-inw of a wealthy family, she wore a professional suit and didn’t put on any
expensive jewelry.
The only jewelry she wore was a tiny pair of pearl earrings given to her by Henry.
Standing before the cameras, her voice resolute, she spoke into the microphone. “My husband, Henry
Miller, is embarking on a new journey in a different industry. Consequently, I will assume the role of
CEO at Seeas Corporation. Moving forward, I ammitted to putting in dedicated efforts alongside
our four thousand and five hundred employees to shape a promising future!”
The media went into a frenzy.
A rumor had been circting about Henry’s health, suggesting that he was ill and unable to continue
his work, which led to a continuous decline in Seeas Corporation’s stock prices.
Nevertheless, Crystal’s announcement today served as a strong reassurance to everyone that the
Miller family remained in charge of Secas Corporation.
That very day, Seeas Corporation’s share prices began to rise again after hitting rock bottom.
