Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 108
At first, Irene despised Linda too, as she saw Linda as being no different from Tina—rats who emerged from the slum and having no right to have her dear cousin Henry.To her surprise, Linda was different from Tina, as Linda protected Irene when it mattered despite her initial abuse.That blade that missed Irene missed Linda too, just before Henry arrived to save the day.However, it would have stabbed into Irene's heart if Linda had not pushed her out of the way.And despite saving Irene's life, Linda never called in the favor or asked for repayment.In fact, whenever Irene messed up and Henry was ready to punish her, Linda would always take her side, defending her—just like now, patting her back with a look of sympathy. "Come on, it's alright. Just get in the car."As soon as the door shut, she was bawling even as she told Linda everything.Through it all, Linda was watching her with a look of sympathy, quietly shedding a tear with Irene—she was sisterly through and through, on

Still, Tina knew she was in the hospital as she picked up the scent of antiseptic in the air.As she just woke up, her mind was muddled—all she remembered was being in Henry's car, where he took advantage of her being drugged to force her to lose herself.Her rationality crumbled under the drug, but just as she thought Henry would get what she wanted, she realized she was on her period and stopped resisting.Even if Henry hated her, he would not do it when she was having her period, and he had no choice but to take her to the hospital.As the rest of her memories were a mess, she did not bother to remember that her drug-fueled self was getting intimate with Henry.She slowly got up, smiling in disdain when she realized that she was alone.How pragmatic of Henry—as soon as he realized he could not screw her, he only took her to the hospital and left without waiting a single second.She did not hesitate to get out of bed, since she was fine now that the drug had worn off.She was

John glanced at Tina. "Thank you."The drawing room light was directly in front of him, and the glow made his eyes radiant as he watched her.Unable to meet his gaze, Tina quickly headed to the tearoom to avoid him.Madam Barnes made some small talk with John in the meantime before excusing herself to the tearoom.Tina was still brewing tea and greeted Madam Barnes as she watched Madam Barnes enter. "Grandma.""What do you think of John?" Madam Barnes asked right away.She was very much satisfied with John, and she immediately thought of the Levines and John when she decided to arrange a blind date for Tina.Despite that, she also understood that even if she thought the world of Tina and that she deserved anyone, neither John nor the Levines would agree.She just wanted to get someone who would take care of Tina and not hurt her, which was why she was ready to pick John's cousin instead.Even if he would not have actual authority, they were close, and John had always watched o

Henry smiled slightly, expressionless as he strode in."Family? Have I missed something?" he asked evenly as he took off his coat and passed it to a maid. Walking up to the couch, he subtly glanced at Tina before sitting down opposite John, folding his legs while leveling his cool visage at John.Then, as if finding the room too hot, he reached up and loosened a couple of buttons on his collar.He looked pointedly at John, hiding a smile as he adjusted this collar.From John's point of view, he just happened to be able to see the many hickeys beneath.Judging from the hue, they were recent—and it went without saying who had done it.Even as John's gaze darkened, Henry stayed silent—a quiet provocation and an assertion of advantage.After all, he had told John more than once that Tina was his.On the other hand, Madam Barnes could not see what Henry was doing, only seeing that nonchalant expression on his face."You missed everything."She almost said that out loud, as she h
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 112
Having no memories of the past five years, to Madam Barnes, Henry's words seemed to show that he still did not care for Tina, even using her lowly status to hurt her.She shot Henry a glare, but she could not humiliate him that much either.Taking Tina's hand and squeezing it as a silent assurance, she said very quietly, "Who is Tina, you ask? I've told you all this while that she's a member of the Barnes family."She had never announced it because she had hopes that things would work out between Henry and Tina.If she announced it, that would really make Tina Henry's sister, and it would be incest if they got together.She did not think that staying her hand allowed Henry to exploit that fact just to hurt Tina.As such, she announced, "I will pick an auspicious date where I formally announce Tina as my god-granddaughter, and she will formally be a daughter of this family."It was as much as a retort to Henry as it was a praise for Tina for John's sake, while cutting off any cha
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 113
That was exactly what bothered Tina, as she could not come up with an idea that would stop Madam Barnes from arranging more blind dates for her once and for all, and without wounding Madam Barnes."As for me, I'm sure you've heard the rumors about me," John continued quietly."Ah… Ahem." Tina could not help clearing her throat.She was not really a part of Jadelight's elite circles, but she did hear gossip about him.John was twenty-eight just like Henry, and their families were equal in standing. On top of that, they were equally successful heirs, but John also stayed well away from romantic affairs.He was never seen with a woman, unlike Henry, who went public about his affair with Linda as early as in university.As such, rumors started to spread that John preferred men, and suddenly every man was scrutinized under a microscope, as they were all speculated to be his lover.Naturally, Tina had not been curious before, but she was curious now as humans were creatures of gossi

Tina was trying to draw the attention of the servants, but none of them were coming."Heh." Henry snorted, reading her mind.Tina realized right then that Henry had sent them away, and none of them would come no matter how much she yelled.Since there was no help in sight, Tina raised her hand, ready to hit Henry, only for him to grab her wrist and pull. Then, he shoved her against the craggy boulder, leaving her grimacing in pain and kicking at him. "Get off me!"However, Henry pressed his own legs on hers, keeping her immobile as he grabbed her chin to force her to meet his gaze, snapping demandingly, "You don't like John Levine. Tell Grandma that right now."Tina glowered. "Why should I listen to you?!" Who did he think he was?!"Why, you ask?! Because you're my woman!" Henry bellowed, not hiding his possessiveness at all. "As long as I don't consent to it, you're not hooking up with another man, you hear me?!"Such was the worst attribute of men—even if Henry never loved

Tina returned to Madam Barnes' house.Remembering that Henry got in her room even though she locked the door, she headed to Madam Barnes' room, hugging her arm and asking tenderly, "Grandma, may I stay with you tonight?""Of course! I'd love that." Madam Barnes smiled lovingly, patting her head.With that, Tina slept beside Madam Barnes, hugging her arm and sleeping soundly.It was a rare moment for Madam Barnes, as she watched Tina huddled so closely to her under the bed lamp.The child had always been sweet toward her, and she could see that Tina really did not despise her at all.It was unlike Irene, who always greeted her 'grandma' sweetly, but cringed from her being old.The thought left Madam Barnes' gaze tender as she watched Tina.Meanwhile, Henry arrived outside Tina's room in the dead of the night, glowering as he looked into her empty room.She was hiding from him!-Tina was still clinging to Madam Barnes' arm the next morning, and they headed to the dining room

As soon as Henry heard that Tina was hurt and hospitalized, he got into his car and rushed to the hospital, only to see John touching her upon arrival.However, John had already been furious with Henry when he found Tina in her tragic state.If he had not dumped her at that isolated place, she would not have suffered so much.Hence, John stood up.Henry presumed that he was backing down and released his grip, only for John to suddenly get up and punch him in the face viciously.It came so quickly it caught Henry off guard, and it struck him true.While John was a gentleman, and this was the first time that he had ever punched anyone, he did it so viciously.Henry stumbled backward once before catching his balance and felt blood in his mouth.Still, his face contorted savagely, but as he was about to return the punch, Tina suddenly got out of bed.She knew him too well and scrambled out of bed to stand in front of John.Henry's eyes widened and promptly stopped, his fist just

"Tina!" John cried, grimacing in heartache as he dropped to one knee, wrapping his coat around her before carefully picking her up.However, she was hurting everywhere after the robber kicked her repeatedly.She gasped in pain without knowing as John touched her and could not see where she was hurt under her clothes.She was not loud, but the pain in his eyes showed even more.He gathered her in his arms even more carefully this time, while Ian drove over in his black Maybach.Ian opened the door, and John put Tina in the backseat, barking, "Get us to the hospital!"At his order, Ian floored the gas pedal and sped off.-Much later, John was sitting by a hospital bed, his eyes fixed on Tina, who lay frailly on it.The doctor told him that Tina was bruised all over, clearly having been kicked repeatedly.John's heart clenched at the thought, his pain welling out.That was when Tina woke up and found herself staring at John's dark gaze right away.She was awake but also felt

The robber started fantasizing—once he got rich, he would kick his wife and the three money sinks to the curb and get himself a young pretty face to carry his genes.With that thought, he cheerfully returned to his bike and sped off, not caring about what happened to Tina.She lay on the ground, watching as the last thing she kept of Sophie disappeared from her sight, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Sophie…"In time, her body slowly turned stiff from the cold as she lay on the icy ground.Her tears would dry up quickly, but more would flow soon after.There was no telling how long had passed before she completely passed out.-After getting Henry's call, Andy promptly drove to where Tina was, but she was not there when he arrived.He alighted and yelled, "Ms. Smith!"There was no response, so he returned to his car and called Henry, but the call was cut off right away.After all, Henry had called him to pick Tina up while he sent his people to save Linda. At this time, he m

Furious, the robber lunged at Tina viciously. "You bitch! You asked for this!"Tina was flat on her back and did not have the strength to fight back as the robber charged at her again.She could only curl up to hold onto the necklace containing Sophie's bone."Give it up!" However, the robber was a blue collar worker and very strong.His hands were like pliers that grabbed firmly on her arm as he attempted to unfold her.He did not expect Tina to hold on so tightly that his temple veins were bulging, and he could not even pull her arm off."Fuck! Don't think I can't make you budge!" he swore as he sprang to his feet again. Unable to pull her off, he kicked her repeatedly.He did not hold back, just like how he never held back on beating his wife whenever he got too drunk.In fact, he was furious this time and kicked Tina even harder.However, Tina only curled into herself even tighter amid the pain.Even as she started blacking out, she held onto the necklace containing

Tina was the one who had taken care of Sophie from birth.Since jewelry was cumbersome when taking care of children, she was used to not wearing it even after Sophie's death.At most, she wore a watch to work—hers was not all that valuable, but she took it off even though it was hidden under her sleeve.Having given the robber everything, and seeing that he was still measuring her from head to toe, she said earnestly, "I really have nothing else."She had been very compliant, and the robber believed her and started stuffing everything into the handbag.However, just as he was about to get on his bike, he spotted the necklace around Tina's neck.His face dropping, he hung the handbag on the bike while snarling as he returned to Tina, grabbing her shoulder, "You bitch! You lied to me!"He was a big man and could crush her collarbone right then.Even as Tina shuddered in pain, she did not know what had gotten the robber upset, fighting back her panic as she said, "I've really give

It was a voice that would invoke any man's chivalry."I won't leave!" Henry promised Linda again.Relieved, Linda calmly closed her eyes, her breathing turning rhythmic.Thinking that she was asleep, Henry pulled his hand away…"Henry!"Linda promptly jolted awake, her eyes wide open.However, seeing that Henry was just moving to sit by the bed, she calmly closed her eyes again, this time holding firmly on his shirt to keep him.Nothing would change, even if Henry found out that Tina was not the one who had drugged him five years ago!In his mind, Linda would always be his savior, the woman he loved the most!He would love her like nothing ever happened no matter what she had gone through, and Tina had no right to compete with her!-Meanwhile, Tina continued walking along the eerily silent road after Henry had left her there.She would be lying if she said she was not scared, but she fought her fear and hurried along.It would take several hours to reach the city, but tha

It was a line that reminded Henry of that moment five years ago, and he nodded. "Yeah. I told you I'd never let you get hurt again, Linda."The single line offered Linda assurance, and she threw herself into Henry's arms."Henry…" She sobbed endlessly, at once hysterical and miserable. "You came for me!"Pained, Henry pursed his lips and scooped her up in his arms. "It's alright. I'm taking you home right now.""Yeah," Linda murmured, hugging his neck and pressing her cheek against his chest, shuddering endlessly.She seemed horrified, refusing to leave his embrace.And that was how Henry carried her to his car, quietly telling the chauffeur to head to Rose Garden.It was almost ten when they arrived.As Henry carried Linda inside as well, the maid heard them and came out.Bowing respectfully at the two when she saw them, she said, "Mr. Barnes, Ms. Cook. Rory's asleep.""Good," Henry replied quietly and leaned down to tell Linda tenderly, "We're home, Linda."Linda did not s

Seeing that Henry was stopping to listen, the man's eyes lit up with hope, and he quickly said, "It's the truth, Mr. Barnes—I'm not lying! She really came on to us!"That woman's acting was just too good.If they had not personally been there, even they would have doubted that the same person who came on to them was also the same person who had accused them!"It's the truth, Mr. Barnes!" the other man promptly echoed, his tone earnest as he tried to convince Henry.Regret was twisting their insides to a bunch too, as they did not have evidence—if they did, they would have shown it!They had been feeling gleeful earlier that they were doing it in a place without cameras.And now, they could not even defend themselves!Henry looked at them then.He could see that they were just stopping short of swearing it was the truth, and there was no hint of guilt in their eyes as they looked at him in turn."No!!! Get away from me!!! Please don't touch me!!! Henry!!! Henry!!!"But even as

Henry's eyes were on Tina even as he held his cigarette and answered the phone.Tina ignored him as he had clearly mentioned Linda's name to screw with her, but just as she got up, Henry's face dropped.He dropped his cigarette on her too, and she flinched in pain, losing her balance and falling again.However, Henry was busy assuring Linda endlessly as she screamed in terror on the other end. "Calm down! I'm coming right now—I'll save you! It's alright!"He did not hang up as he continued offering words of comfort, completely ignoring Tina as if she was never there.As soon as he returned to his car, he floored the gas pedal, disappearing into the night."Henry Barnes!" Tina yelled just as she got up, but her voice was drowned out by the roaring engine, and she was left standing as she watched Henry's car disappear from sight.A cold breeze blew just then, and the rustle of leaves echoed on both sides of the road.As Tina shuddered, she picked up her bag from the ground and to
