Vic came in from the outside and was quite surprised to see this scene.


    He had expected Nathan''s return to make up with Crystal.


    Crystal was thrown into the bathroom, and her body crashed against the cold porcin wall.


    Nathan hadn''t given up yet, even though she had made it so clearly.


    He picked up a birdbath and jabbed it into her hand. "Pee."


    Crystal held the basin. "Do you want to check, and then you give up and let me go?"


    "Now!"


    He tugged at her trousers.


    Crystal went out today wearing suspenders, and Nathan took off her coat and stripped off her pants.


    His action was rude, and he yed Crystal, watching his face close to hers. Her lips trembled. In fact, she wanted very much to hug and kiss him.


    As soon as she saw him, she saw how haggard he was and how much he had lost.


    The thick dark circles under his eyes showed that he had not slept well for days.


    But Crystal told herself that even dr*g addicts had the hardest time at first.


    They wouldn''t be able to resist from the beginning.


    But over time, they could gradually forget the feeling of addiction and be less painful.


    Nathan was in that state of losing himself right now, and he needed time to heal. Crystal had expected him toe back.


    Nathan frantically pulled down her pants and pushed her down.


    Nathan opened the cab and grabbed a handful of pregnancy tests.


    He tried the first one, which showed double lines.


    Obviously, Nathan had done homework before knowing what double lines meant.


    His hand froze, tore down the second bag. Then he tried a third and a fourth.


    More than a dozen pregnancy tests were put into the urine, and the result was that she became pregnant.


    Crystal was cold, holding her trousers stiffly in one hand, not daring to move.


    Nathan crouched there, doing the test mechanically and repeatedly.


    He made Crystal feel a sudden sore nose and almost burst into tears.


    Finally, thest one was tested.


    Nathan clenched his fists and hung his head. Crystal couldn''t see his face.


    Crystal didn''t have the strength to stand here facing him, leaning against the wall.


    "You see the evidence. Are you satisfied?"


    Nathan rose without a word and turned away.


    Crystal''s heart was in pain as she watched his lonely back.


    Suddenly Nathan stopped at the bathroom counter and looked at himself in the mirror.


    His face was thinner than ever, slightly dented, his hair unkempt, and he had made a special preparation to see her, wearing her favorite coat and the tie she had given him.


    As for the gloves, he did not wear them for fear of losing them.


    He looked at himself in the mirror and suddenly turned to look at Crystal.


    She was well-nourished, with a plump, reddish face. She seemed to be having a good time these days.


    Nathan gave a weird smile, then turned on the faucet and vigorously washed the hands that had identally spattered her urine.


    Now everything in her made him sick.


    It was as well toe back this time, to turn his mindpletely off.


    She already had Eric''s baby in her tummy! That was good.


    If he did not know this fact, maybe he would continue to miss her and hurt his body for her. Now he waspletely free, and he would not waste half a second of his life worrying about her.


    "Crystal, I am officially breaking up with you."


    This time it was an official parting.


    "I dumped you. I didn''t want you anymore."


    He wiped his hands with a towel, turned, and strode away.


    This time, he walked out without looking back.


    Crystal leaned against the wall and crouched slowly to the ground. She bit her lip tightly, one hand clutching the ring on the other, and tears welled up in her eyes,


    She and Nathan weren''t meant to be together. The rtionship waspletely wrong.


    There was a noise of footsteps outside, and the door mmed shut. Nathan left.


    Crystal stood up slowly and walked out of the bathroom. There was no one in the empty hall.


    Even the butler here was taken away.


    It seemed that Nathan was not even going to live in this house anymore.


    In other words, Nathan would never appear in front of her again.


    Crystal wanted to go out at once, and she was afraid of bumping into him. She stood at the window, watching from a distance as his car was ready to leave.


    Fearing that he would turn around, Crystal shrank back into the window.


    Suddenly, she found the restaurant opposite the window, decorated with a warm candlelight dinner.


    Crystal could not help walking to the table. There were red roses everywhere, but there were a bunch of white camellias at the table. The candle was burning and was about toe to an end.


    The food on the table was thoroughly cold, too, all Crystal''s favorite food.


    There was also a gift box in Nathan''s seat.


    He came back today to meet her because of the special asion of Valentine''s Day.


    Crystal didn''t dare touch it all. Her feet backed away.


    She wanted it to remain as it was and be a dream.


    Crystal turned sharply away, and Nathan''s car was already gone.


    She stood cold on the wooden bridge in the cold wind.


    Her eyes fell on the shallow water of theke, and she seemed to see something gleaming white in the soft sand.


    Crystal''s foot gave a sharp thud. Was that the watch?


    No! It must be her imagination! It didn''t even make sense, Crystal. Don''t pick it up!


    Don''t pick it up. Don''t!


    She tried to stop herself, but her body couldn''t.


    By the time Crystal felt cold, she was already in the water.


    Fortunately, the water was only knee-deep.


    But when she came down, she had no idea that the soft sand of theke might cave in, that the depths of somekes were like swamps, and that her whole body might be swallowed up.


    Besides, how could she enter the water on such a cold day when she was pregnant!


    But Crystal didn''t think of any of this. At that moment, her inner reason was ovee by emotion.


    All she knew was that the watch recorded everything about her and Nathan.


    The watch had taken so much of his fancy that she could not afford to throw it away.


    So she did crazy things!


    Crystal trudged through the bright light but found nothing.


    Perhaps it was only the bright reflection of the light on the water that made her think it was a watch.


    She smiled sadly. She should have thought she wasn''t so strong as to see what had fallen into theke.


    But Crystal was not willing to go ashore now that she was in the water.


    She looked in the direction of the window and estimated where her watch would fall.


    Actually, theke was not very big. The vi was built in the middle of theke, where the bridges were illuminated on all four sides.


    The light shone clear on theke.


    Even so, Crystal still couldn''t find it.


    She looked so hard that she did not know that a car had stopped on the road in the dark.


    A man saw Crystal through the lowered window, mmed open the car door, and ran toward her, followed closely by the bodyguard.


    "Crystal!"


    A surly voice came from above her.


    Crystal shuddered and looked up at the figure on the bridge, looking back at her.


    Her whole body was trembling with cold, and her little face was white, with tears all over it.
