Chapter 337: You Are As Cold As Flint
Chapter 337: You Are As Cold As Flint
The more she was at this time, the less she could be defeated.
Crystal hugged Clark and asked him how he had been these days. Nathan’s servants were very kind to him and would accompany him in playing games and making delicious food for him.
But Clark quietly wiped a tear. “I don’t like the evenings the most,”
“Why?”
“I miss Mommy very much in the evening. I miss Aunt Crystal, too. I feel pain here!” Clark covered his little heart.
This time he covered his heart instead of his stomach. It seemed that he was sorrowful.
Crystal smiled and wiped the little fellow’s eyes.
Maybe he had left Nancy so many times and been dumped so often that he had a reflex arc of being discarded at any moment.
“I’ll get your mommy soon, okay?”
“Okay.”
Eric opened the car door and greeted Crystal.
Seeing her patience with the little boy, he raised his eyebrows. “Well, you will be a good mother.”
Crystal looked slightly shocked. “You promised me you’d leave Noah and Clark alone.”
“Where do you want to send them?
“Send them abroad and pay them alimony.”
“They can also be given shelter.”
“No, if you are generous, you can give them more alimony, and they will buy the house they want to live in.”
Eric burst into a funny laugh. “You clever little thing. You’re afraid I won’t keep my word, are you?”
Crystal pressed her lips slightly and said nothing.
Clark, after all, was a stranger to Eric and looked at him curiously.
Eric had a harmless face. He asked Crystal, teasing the child. “When are you coming with me to the hospital to do the tests?”
Crystal’s arm tightened unnaturally.
Cupid’s Arrow had forbidden Crystal from having sex with men other than Nathan.
But if they wanted to have children, they could have in vitro fertilization, which was not difficult for Eric.
Even though it was just sperm on her own body, Crystal resisted. She didn’t want her future child to have Eric’s blood at all!
“I’ve done everything you asked me to do. What else do you want?”
“There’s one more person you didn’t help me save.”
“Carlos? Don’t worry. He’ll be back to normal soon.”
“Nancy.”
Eric frowned slightly. Paul had the stupid woman in his hands now, and judging by Paul’s stubbornness, Eric knew that Paul wouldn’t let Nancy go.
“You promised me that you would save the child if I married you. Now the child’s out, and Nancy is in again.” Crystal just wanted to buy time. It would be better if everyone got out and then she ran away.
“It was foolish of her to fall into Paul’s hands.”
“Whether she’s stupid or not, you need to settle her and her child first.”
Eric rubbed his chin. He was also clear about Paul’s personality.
It was easy to rob a man on his turf now. But Paul’s temper was fiery, and Eric couldn’t play hardball. So the best way to do that was to challenge himself.
This allowed Paul to let Nancy go, not to blame Eric.
“Just give me a day, and I’ll bring Nancy back.”
Crystal frowned. Only in one day could he make it?
Eric gave a scheming smile and said, “My dear wife, because of you, I have to do something to my brother.”
“That is a matter of your character, not of mine!” Crystal was in no mood to make fun of him.
“You are as cold as flint.”
There was a cry of pain from the room, the door was flung open, and the servant rushed out.
Crystal hurried over and nearly ran into the servant.
Eric walked behind her, lip raised. “What? Didn’t you sedate him? Not enough?”
“We did. He’s awake now.”
“Try again.”
“No!” Crystal stopped him. “Too much of that stuff isn’t good for his brain!”
“He’s a brute now,” Eric reminded her. “Crystal, don’t you forget he bit you twice. I’ll give him another chance to bite you?”
“Not this time.” Crystal dashed into the room.
Carlos was squatting against the window. The whole room was a ruin. The sheets were chewed and tattered, and goose feathers flew everywhere.
A chain was fastened to the iron window, and Carlos had a collar around his neck.
He was trying fiercely to break the chain.
“Carlos,” Crystal ached every time she saw him. “What are you doing?”
Carlos’s figure jerked and turned his handsome face. As soon as he saw Crystal, he made a few quick leaps from the window to the bed and jumped at Crystal.
But the length of the chain allowed him to move only so far.
He held it on the bed, his hands outstretched toward Crystal.
Crystal was about to step forward, her shoulder pinned under Eric’s.
“Don’t get close to him. He has no sense.”
“But he knows me.”
“The medicine has turned him into a beast. How can he remember you when he doesn’t even know who he is?”
“I knew he knew me by the way he looked. at me,” Crystal said doggedly. “When are you going to get him back to normal?”
“Look at him. I didn’t put him in the Wolf house. I treated him very well. As soon as you’re pregnant, I’ll give him the antigen.”
Crystal looked at him coldly. She knew Eric wasn’t that easy to fool.
Carlos howled at Eric, showing his terrible teeth and claws.
“Carlos, sit down.”
Carlos gave a slight pause, hands down naturally, and sat down like a dog.
“Look, he listens to me. He really knows me. Let me go!” Crystal forcibly removed Eric’s hand and strode over.
Eric narrowed his eyes and tried to grab Crystal’s hand, but it was too late.
She already walked up to Carlos, reached out, and stroked his head. “Good boy.” Carlos rubbed his head against her palm.
He looked at Crystal with clear amber eyes.
He had a few more marks on his face and a cut on his hand.
Crystal touched his wound gently. “You’re hurt.”
“Howl...”
“Eric, did you have him beaten?” Crystal asked.
Eric leaned against the door and said in a cold voice, “how could I let someone beat your pet? I’m afraid he hurt himself when he destroyed the room.”
“How could you hurt yourself?” Crystal snapped. “You mustn’t do that again!”
Eric squinted at the interaction between the girl and the animal.
It was a miracle. Carlos completely lost his mind and forgot himself, but he could still recognize Crystal.
It could be seen that in the depths of Carlos’s heart, the person with the most profound imprint was Crystal.
Carlos once said that “I won’t forget you, Crystal, even if one day I forget the whole world, even myself.”
Crystal bit her lip. He really made good on every promise he made to her.
“Well, you’ve seen your pet. Shouldn’t you be in the shower and getting dressed for the party tonight?”
“A party?”
“Didn’t you want to rescue Nancy? Success or failure hinges on tonight. “
Crystal was exhausted. She just wanted to have a good rest, but the thought of Nancy still languishing outside made her feel sorry.
She was covered in bruises, which Eric didn’t see.
Her hair also covered the scar on her forehead. If Eric saw it, it would be another storm.
