Unfulfilled Last Wish   Chapter 145
As Henry arrived downstairs, the robber was on his knees and begging for mercy, after the bodyguards left him bruised and battered.He really got unlucky!Seeing Henry, he confessed everything. "I-I just wanted money!" he cried. "I didn't even want to hurt her. She's crazy—oof!"He had barely finished those words when Henry kicked him in the mouth, sending him to the floor.He clutched his mouth, tasting blood on his own tongue before coughing out blood and several teeth.He was left staring at Henry in fear, wondering what he had done to incur the wrath of that monster.Andy snorted and kicked him too. "Keep talking, but watch your words."The likes of this scum think he could insult Tina?As such, the robber had to fight back the pain and took out the necklace that he had stolen from Tina out of his pocket.Just seeing it again left him frustrated, as he had it appraised, but it was worth less than Tina's coat.Forgetting his pain, he could hardly hide his grief. "She kep

Hostility was virtually written on Tina's face as she snapped coldly, "Do you have trouble understanding me?!"She did not expect Henry to return, let alone come inside!John was on his feet, ready to stop Henry, but Henry strode past him, his eyes on Tina as he demanded coolly, "Tell him to leave.""You should be the one who leaves!" Tina snapped right then."Is that so?" Henry asked coolly, spreading his palm to reveal the necklace.Tina gaped and lunged at Henry as she shrieked, "Give it back!"She missed, instead crashing straight into Henry's arms.She moved so quickly that John did not expect it, and Henry held her in his arms before he could pull her away.He spun, avoiding John's outstretched hand and pulled her to the other side of the bed.Tina promptly struggled, but Henry did not let go, even meeting her blazing gaze with a smile, speaking just loud enough for them to hear, "So, you don't want it?"Tina promptly stopped moving, glaring at Henry.She hated him mor

Seeing that Tina was being stubborn, but concerned for her injury, Henry backed down for once. "I just want to check your injury."What had gotten into her?Ever since he missed out on that amusement park date, she had hidden Sophie and treated him coldly.Had she really fallen for John?However, Henry dismissed the thought as soon as he thought it.No chance! Tina was just agreeing to Madam Barnes's arranged marriage and getting together with John to upset him!"No." Tina refused right then.As soon as she finished, Henry lost all patience and held down her hands and started to unbutton her blouse."Get off me!" Even as she yelled furiously, Henry's eyes widened at the sight of her injuries.The robber said that Tina refused to let go of the necklace even after he kicked and punched her. And thought he knew he was hurt, he did not know that it was this bad.His visage cold as he looked, he snapped, "Are you crazy?! You did this to yourself over something that isn't worth

"No!!!"Tina shirked with gut-wrenching despair, murmuring, "Sophie… Sophie…"Then, she leapt out of bed and rushed to the window, her hand outstretched and not caring that half of her was outside the window.She did not care—she just wanted to protect Sophie.But she was too late, as the necklace arched through the air and landed on the gleaming surface of the pond, sinking beneath.Henry's heart almost leaped out of his throat. "It's the fifth floor! Are you trying to kill yourself?!"He did not expect her to get so crazy, and she was lucky that he had caught her before she fell and pulled her back inside.He held her waist firmly, glaring angrily while she continued to be hysterical.She would rather die for a shitty necklace?! Who on earth gave it to her?! Why did it matter so much?!But even before he could ask, Tina pushed him off with hatred, sending him slamming violently against the windowsill.She did not look at him twice when she was worried about Sophie and dashe

Presuming it to be some lover's quarrel, the onlookers started to audibly discuss the matter among themselves.Feeling like a circus animal, Henry scowled and snarled through his teeth, "Are you done?! Going that far for crap—""Shut up!" Tina bellowed, cutting him short as her chest heaved from his endless insults. "Don't you dare insult that necklace again! It's not crap, it's—"Before she could say 'Sophie', her agitated state broke her and she blacked out, spinning before almost collapsing.Henry's face dropped, and he promptly scooped her up in his arms, growling as she shrugged, "I don't care what it is—it doesn't matter to me. But as for you… are you going to stop, or do you want me to order a sedative?"As Tina met his impatient glare, her heart felt like it would break.That much was true—Sophie had never mattered to him in life, let alone her remains!Still, seeing that Tina was not fighting, Henry carried her back to her room.Tina did not struggle because she was to

Linda knew that something was wrong when Henry suddenly left her room.And to no surprise, he soon drove off.When she called to ask, he said that he was busy and told her to get some rest, then hung up before she could say more.He did not answer when she called him again.Ever since she showed up with that pendant, she was suddenly his beloved woman, and he put her above all else and gave her everything.He was cold and indifferent, but he treasured her because of a childhood promise.He would answer her calls, no matter when or where.But lately, he was not quickly answering her calls, and on more than one occasion.And now, he even refused to answer her call.She refused to believe it and even excused his actions.But now that she had seen it with her own eyes, she had to believe it.Henry had really left her for Tina's sake.That was not all either—he was treating Tina with such tenderness! The same tenderness that should only be hers!'Tina Smith!!! You really know h

Gently lifting Tina's chin, Henry kissed her eagerly.He did not want to wake her up, so he restrained himself, his lips gently brushing and nibbling hers.However, he was soon dissatisfied with those little bites and wanted more.Unable to stop himself, he opened her parted lips and pressed his tongue inside, panting harder as he kissed her even fiercer.Soon, the heat began surging into his loins, and he could not resist pulling her closer, his hands moving as he pinned Tina beneath himself.But as the sparks of passion were about to fly, Tina suddenly opened her eyes.Still groggy, she stared blankly at him for a moment, but her visage quickly turned cold as she realized what was happening.She had no idea how she was sleeping so soundly, only that Henry was taking advantage of her again.And after what had happened last night flashed in her mind again, she honestly had no idea what gave him the confidence to touch her!Furious, she did not hesitate to slap him across the f

At a certain kindergarten in Jadelight, Linda was standing in a camera blind spot and watching the three children who had bullied Rory before indifferently.At her incitement, they strode up to Rory with a purpose in their step.Rory was hanging her head unhappily as she headed to her classroom.But as she walked past a flowerbed, someone suddenly pushed her, sending her wobbling and landing miserably on her stomach.Tears welled up in her eyes as her palms were cut, but she did not bawl right away like the other children because she knew how much Linda hated that unless Henry was with them.After all, when Henry was around, he would care for and be nicer to Linda, so Linda would give her head pats. But when Henry was away, Linda would frown at her and walk away in disdain.Not wanting Linda to despise her, Rory slowly became disciplined.As long as Henry was not around, she would fight back her tears—or if push came to shove, she would bite her lip, breathing quiet sniffles a

And seeing how sad Tina was, John felt doubt—should he really tell Tina that he had seen a girl that really resembled Sophie abroad?Even if he was just driving past the young girl, he was very sure that the girl's face was identical with Sophie's from photos two years ago, albeit with a larger face and without that silly sweet smile she used to have.She was in another car, but her gaze was colder than what one would expect of a child around seven.After that encounter, John sent everyone he had to look but failed to find the girl again.But he found nothing, so John thought it inappropriate to tell Tina recklessly.With hope came disappointment, and with disappointment came more pain.He could just keep looking on his own and then tell Tina later.And caught in her own misery, Tina never noticed the twitch in John's eyes.Even after the movie was over and she calmed down, her eyes were still red.John held her hand and led her outside, and he noticed that her hands were cold

Tina was not about to let Linda win, as she knew that Linda just wanted to piss her off.She remained impassive as she watched Linda and waited until Linda smiled smugly to slap her repeatedly until her lips bled."Mess with me again, and there'll be another beating waiting."With that, she flung Linda on the ground and drove off.Even as she drove, she had to tell herself she must not get upset because of Henry.But she could not help thinking about the video she had watched—how gentle Henry was with Rory, and there was no faking that loving gaze.And that intimacy with Rory was what Sophie had wanted the most in life.Even if Henry now knew that Linda was not Orange, he still treasured Rory.Tina did not care how Henry felt about Linda, but she could not ignore how Henry felt about Rory.Everything Rory had was rightfully Sophie's.Driving back to the hospital, Tina took a moment to compose herself, fighting back her grief, and only alighted when she looked normal.Just as

Mrs. Smith was naturally indignant—Linda had only suffered a couple of days of online backlash for what she had done to Jimmy, barely a sliver of what she had put Jimmy and Tina through!However, Tina pulled her phone from her grasp. "Mom, your concern right now is to get better. Don't worry about it—just rest."Since she could not enjoy more of Linda's suffering, Mrs. Smith quickly fell asleep, since she was not interested in celebrity gossip.And once she did, Tina's eyes turned cool.She knew she could not count on Henry and felt indignation for Jimmy and her mother, seeing how quickly he had spared Linda.The sight of him kneeling before Mrs. Smith was all the more laughable now.Still, she did not bother herself with Henry and thought of Zach Foster instead.After Zach scapegoated himself for Linda, there was no way he could have brought the evidence with him into jail.And John had already bought the house Zach retained after he was freed the first time, having sent his p

And the instant Henry nodded, Linda, who sat in a corner and kept her head down, looked utterly gleeful.Rory was really useful!Did Tina think she had won?Tina's daughter was dead, and it was Linda's daughter who had taken her place!Even if Tina was now more important to Henry, it was not over between her and Henry as long as her daughter pulled her weight."Thanks, Daddy! I love you!" And hearing that Henry was giving in, she finally stopped crying and gave him a peck on the cheek.Her cheeks were still covered in tears, but Henry did not avoid her despite his clean freak tendencies."Oh, Rory!" Linda pretended to stop her, quickly pulling out a tissue and seizing the moment to initiate physical contact with Henry.However, she had not even reached Henry when he turned away, pulling out some wet wipes nearby to clear Rory's tears from his face.As he did, he shot Linda a cool look.He never said outright that he was rejecting her, but his body language and the look in h

The floor was a complete mess, with a janitor and the care worker cleaning it up together.As soon as Rory saw Henry, she promptly spread her arms, calling out miserably and raspily, "Daddy…"Henry strode up, the pain in his eyes clear as he saw the bruises on her face and hands—even the braids he tied for her this morning were now a lopsided mess."What happened?" Henry sat by Rory's bed and held her, his large hand gently patting her back to comfort her while turning sharply toward Rory's care worker.Before Rory's care worker could speak, Linda heard him and hastily picked up a jacket as she came out, sniffling, "I'm sorry, Henry—I brought this upon Rory. It's all my fault for not protecting Rory… I didn't think that they'd follow me to Rory's room."She really was in worse shape than Rory too, what with her hair disheveled, egg yolk and scraps of food still clinging disgustingly on her hair, and the scratch marks visible all over her face, neck, and hands.Her clothes were to

Linda thought that Henry would distance himself from Rory as well after she was exposed and was surprised that Rory placed much higher in Henry's heart than she imagined.Even if he despised her now, he could not bear to see Rory hurt at all.She still had a chance!With that in mind, she sent away Rory's care worker—since Henry hired that woman, she might rat her out.And once the care worker was gone, Linda turned to level a tender gaze at Rory, who cringed as if by instinct.She yearned for her mother's tenderness but was also afraid of it.After all, different degrees of hurt would come whenever her mother gave her that look.Nonetheless, Linda gave Rory a peck on the cheek as she whispered into her ear, instructing her with the most gentle tone.When she finished, she asked, "Do you remember everything I said?""Yes, Mommy," Rory replied, nodding tamely.Like she always did, she repeated everything Linda said, word for word.Linda gave Rory another peck on the cheek as

Rory leveled a clingy smile at Henry and was sweet toward him because her mother might get upset if he left."Okay." Henry nodded. Rory's cheeks were very pale as she just had her surgery, and he had trouble saying no to her when she was in that condition.He was disappointed in Linda, but he earnestly liked Rory and did not want to involve children in a feud between adults.As such, even if he meant to destroy Linda, he told the care worker and every medical staff on the floor to keep Rory in the dark.With that in mind, he sat down beside Rory and picked up her storybook, going along even though she had asked him to read the longest story in it.It was a picture of bliss as he read the story in his dulcet tone, while Rory continued to stare at him worshipfully.Still, it all came to a stop when Linda showed up.She had used up most of her money and could not hire help to clear her name. Hence, worried that there would be another lynch mob incident like at the mall, she kept

However, the security guards were not really going all out to stop the mob either, and Linda was still hit by the flying projectiles as she was escorted away.As she was trending, when photos of her miserable state were uploaded online, she immediately reached top ten, as if it was only natural.And Mrs. Smith had been monitoring the online trends over the past couple days.Even if Linda was not brought to justice, she still more or less felt some satisfaction out of seeing countless netizens condemning Linda.As such, she also quickly saw that video of Linda being subject to everyone's contempt as soon as she was released as there was no evidence against her.Even if she did not feel completely relieved, just seeing Linda in that sorry state eased the frustration straining her heart.She watched it repeatedly too, muttering under breath as she did, "Guess you finally behaved like a human being."As long as Henry stopped taking Linda's side, her dear Tina would not suffer more g

Seeing that the cabbie gave up without a fight, Linda shot him a look of disdain and spat, "Loser!"Peasants would always be peasants—he did not even have the balls to retort!However, the cabbie simply watched her despite her glare of disdain without reacting and kept driving steadily.Linda snorted audibly in turn, rearing her chin while looking outside the window.She finally got slight relief from the frustration of being locked up for forty-eight hours, after all.Nonetheless, the commercial district where she was at was bustling with activity since it was the weekend.The cabbie also made sure to stop where there were most people. Once Linda alighted after paying and steered her wheelchair out of the car, the cabbie suddenly yelled at the crowd, "Look, everyone! It's Linda Cook!"His call was like a clap of thunder, and the crowd was at once restless.She was already slightly famous online because of her relationship with Henry over the last two years.Her fame only sk
