Besides, today was the first time Brandon came to see her in the half-month since she left Central Town and returned to City A.

She laughed at herself. How could this be considered as caring about her and being nice to her?

Crystal didn't want to think about it anymore.

Brandon always appeared quietly. Olivia quickly shut her mouth and prayed that her words were not heard by Brandon.

Fortunately, Brandon's attention was not on her. Brandon was wearing a pair of sunglasses, his favorite dark green suit.

Brandon sat beside Crystal's bed, his movements paused, and his eyes under his sunglasses seemed a little red and swollen.

The scent of laurel disturbed her, rising up arrogantly. Crystal could no longer pretend and fell asleep. She quickly glanced at Brandon.

She didn't want to pay attention to Brandon after just one look. She turned aside and left him with her back.

Brandon felt upset when he saw this refusal to communicate.

He called Lily in.

"How is Miss Ford's illness?"

Lily repeated what she had just said to Harry, as if reciting a book.

But Brandon was still a little worried.

Since the doctor said she was getting better, why did Crystal still look so sick?

"Ms. Ford, have you taken your medicine today? If not, bring it in."

Crystal's illness has almost healed. Today, she only needs to take some medicine. Brandon picked up the bowl and the spoon a little unnaturally.

Is Brandon going to feed her the medicine himself?

Crystal was a little bit unbelievable. Could Brandon, who was so arrogant, take care of others? She smiled and thought of the vulnerable side of herself when she was seriously ill.

She would rather believe that the person who fed her medicine while she was sick was Nick rather than Brandon.

Seeing that Crystal seemed to be refusing to take medicine, Brandon put the medicine bowl back on the table.

"Crystal, don't you have anything to say to me?" With these angry words, Lily and Olivia consciously retreated. Brandon thought he had gotten over his hypocritical feelings, but looking at Crystal's current state, he still...

Brandon lowered his eyelids and waited for her answer.

The woman in the quilt rolled herself into a ball.

"Brandon, I don't have anything to say to you."

"When will you let me go?"

Brandon said as a matter of course,

"You are my wife, this is our home. If you don't stay here, where are you going?"

Crystal was so angry that she laughed, but also felt a little sad.

She thought of the kiss in City C, in the shabby hotel. Brandon closed his eyes and kissed her lips like a sacrifice, but in a flash, he was unwilling to even say a word of reconciliation.

"This is how Brandon treats his wife."

Brandon was stunned by what she said, and his expression was a little unnatural.

"You are recovering from illness now."

"I don't mean to detain you. When you recover, you can come anytime..."

Crystal interrupted him.

"I don't want anytime, I want now."

Brandon suppressed his anger.

"I caused your illness, so I am responsible for you."

"Responsible?"

Crystal smiled.

"Why didn't Brandon have the intention to take responsibility in his previous life?"

These simple words pierced Brandon's heart like a knife.

Crystal is right.

If he had said something soft in his previous life, none of this would have happened.

He bit his lip.

"What do you want?"

Crystal asked, "What should I do?"

"Can I do whatever I want?"

Brandon, "You can tell it."

"I want to call Emma. I want to know Nick's current situation. I want you to stop detaining me. I want to leave."

Brandon felt his heart bleeding.

"You can call Emma. After you recover, you can move around freely."

"But the matter of the Blue Pool is not allowed."

"This is a secret of the Organization. I have no way of revealing it to you."

The Blue Pool is related to the confidential information of the Organization. Even Brandon cannot reveal any of it.

A hint of understanding appeared on Crystal's face.

"Well, I'm going to bring back Nick's things."

"And you have to return that dress too."

"...What exactly is it?"

In fact, there weren't many things. Crystal had lived in Nick's house for half a month, and most of the things she left behind were unimportant little gadgets. But she just wanted to take another look. She just felt regretful. She had lived there for so many days, and she always wanted to say goodbye properly when she left.

The small tree in the pot that Nick gave her should have sprouted by now. Nick forgot to bring it back indoors for a few days. The nights in Central Town were so cold that Crystal originally thought it had been frozen to death, but was pleasantly surprised to find a hint of new green in the pot.

Harry brought in a pen and paper, and Crystal wrote to Brandon what she wanted to take back.

"A few clothes, some toiletries, and a potted... small tree."

Brandon sneered,"Blue mountain has all these things, but you insisted that I go to Central Town to get them for you. Crystal, City C is tens of thousands of kilometers away from City A. Do you think Olivia and Harry have so much free time that they would spend so much effort to help you get these useless things?"

"In Brandon's eyes, these are of course useless things."

"But in my eyes, these are all memories after all."

She said it was a memory.
