Chapter 154

Penulis: Angelica1
While the school doctor tended to Rory's injuries, the teacher found out what had happened and told Linda everything when she arrived.

As the other students' parents had yet to arrive, the school doctor told Linda, "I suggest taking Rory to the hospital for an X-ray. Don't worry—the school will handle this! You should hurry, to put your mind at ease."

"Okay!"

Linda appeared worried as she held Rory like Rory was the most important thing to her in the world. "I'll be leaving right now, but neither me nor her father will let this go unpunished!"

With that, Linda carried Rory out of the infirmary as the teachers watched, gently placing Rory into the car seat and giving her a peck on her pale cheek. "It's alright, Rory. I'll take you to the hospital right now."

Flooring the gas pedal, Linda then sped out of the kindergarten toward the hospital.

Rory was sweating buckets even as she groaned, "Mommy, my tummy hurts…"

    Henry assured Linda, "Calm down. Rory's going to be fine as long as I'm around."And with that, he hung up and quickly called several specialists to the hospital.While his attention was all on making calls for Linda and Rory, he never saw Tina standing nearby, watching as he worried over Rory.Her eyes were colder than the winter temperatures outside, but she did not stop to watch as she headed outside to the hospital pond.-Soon, Linda's car stopped outside the hospital, and she saw Henry waiting with several specialists by his side. She opened the door and stumbled as she got out.As if she had only just seen Henry then, her eyes were teary. "Henry…"She then opened the backseat door to show him Rory's pale face."Daddy…" She murmured, her tiny, miserable appearance left Henry grimacing in pain.As the doctors went up and carried Rory out of the car and put her on a stretcher, Henry took Rory's icy hand in his while gently wiping off her sweat. "It's alright, Rory. Daddy's

    Linda then leveled a tearful gaze at Henry. "I had no choice—if it wasn't for Rory's illness, I wouldn't have meddled with you and Tina. I never wanted to force you to take responsibility for me and Rory when we returned to the country, but…"I'm fine with being called out as a homewrecker, Henry, but I really don't want Rory to be called a bastard. She's my life, so seeing her being hurt over her status cuts me to the quick."And Tina has already broken up with you anyway. You're a free man, and your grandma has already relented. Can't you publicly acknowledge me and be with me and put Rory's name in the family annals, so that she becomes a legitimate child?"Henry looked at Linda in turn.She was Orange, the girl he had chosen from childhood and a ray of light in the most difficult period of his life.Without her, he would not have survived until his grandfather had found him.When he got a second chance in life, he decided that she would be the only person he married, and that

    Judging from blood type alone, there was no telling if Rory was Linda's biological child, but Rory was definitely not Henry's child.As Tina remembered how much Henry doted on Rory while neglecting and abusing Sophie, she wondered if he would regret doing that to Sophie when he realized his favorite was not even his daughter.Still, she left the hospital and did not go to Henry.As this concerned Henry's one true love and her daughter, Henry would simply dismiss Tina as being hateful toward them before she could speak.When she arrived at the entrance, a black Maybach came up to her and stopped beside her.Seeing Tina, John alighted and opened the door for her.As she got in, he passed her a new phone. "It's using your old number and everything.""Thanks," Tina replied as she took it. Her phone broke after it got waterlogged, and she was going to get one after leaving the hospital, but John had already bought one for her."I've wired you the money for it," Tina then said as s

    Sophie was dead.And if Tina became Henry's sister, she would have zero chance of getting together with Henry, or it would otherwise be incest!With that, Linda dined in Barnes Ranch for the first time since she got together with Henry.She could barely hide her smile at the thought that she would officially be Henry's girlfriend after today.And once they got engaged, she would be his fiancee, and soon, his wife!Madam Barnes despised Linda and did not stay for dinner, instead taking Tina back to her house to dine together.Linda did not care—how much longer would that fossil live anyway?-On the other hand, Tina did not stay after dinner, and Madam Barnes arranged for a car to take her home.She did not move through the main house and was walking around it but somehow overheard Henry saying, "I'll add Rory to the family annals.""Sure." Roger did not protest.Tina's hands clenched at those words, her eyes flashing.Sophie was already five, but Henry had never considered

    Caught off guard, Tina was shoved into the car and collapsed in the backseat.As Henry moved on top of her, she did not hesitate to kick him in the chest with all her strength.Henry grunted in pain and hit the car door with his back.Her resistance left him glowering, and the air around him turning cold.Tina did not care about his face as she promptly seized the moment to open the door.As soon as she set a foot down, Henry caught her wrist again and pulled her back in. "Help! There's a rapist—" Tina yelled, seeing people who were walking dogs along the curb.If Henry did not show any respect, why should she?Still, before people could turn toward them, Henry shut the door again and locked it, cutting off their sight.The apartment compound was dark in the first place, and Henry had parked his car in the shadows.Anyone passing by might be able to hear Tina just now, but they would not see anything.Presuming that they misheard, they continued on their stroll.At the sam

    There was no chance for Tina and Henry to get back together, or it would be incest!In the past, it would have been unacceptable for her. Even if he did not love her, she had always held out hope that he would come around, choose her, and marry her, so that they could be family, and he would be good to Sophie.But now…"That's exactly what I want!!!" She snarled every word, glaring straight into Henry's eyes."Tina!!!" Henry's eyes widened as he snarled her name through his teeth viciously.Now that Tina wanted nothing to do with him, his grandmother was not bothered by him getting together with Linda.That was exactly what he wanted before, but now that he heard it from Tina, he was angry instead.Still, he tried to calm down, not buying the fact that Tina did not love him anymore.Looking Tina straight in the eye, he remembered the look that she had shot him when he had mentioned including Rory in the family annals.He was not one who would tell anyone about what he did for

    However, Henry was now familiar with her tricks, and he pulled her firmly as he leaned down.Tina could not budge even though she used all her strength and was forced to receive his kiss even though her body was utterly resistant. She kept her lips pursed, refusing to let him through, but her resistance only infuriated him further.Suddenly, he was bent on proving she was just being stubborn and that she was just jealous because he was going to marry Linda, and that she did not regret getting together with him and never stopped loving him.Ignoring her resistance, Henry bit her lip—the fiercest he had ever been.As Tina gasped in pain, he forced his tongue in as soon as her jaw opened."Mmmph!!!"Tina glared venomously at Henry, even more resistant as she fought him back.What came out of her lips was not a moan of passion but a snarl of resistance. "Get off me! Don't touch me—you disgust me!"And she really felt that way, as he was going to marry Linda, who killed Sophie!

    At the same time, Henry yelled, "He can't save you! You're mine, Tina!"She was his woman and only his—he would never let her be with another man, let alone stop loving him!With those words, he jammed his lips firmly on Tina's once more, refusing to let her say John's name again.If there was a name she must breathe, it must be his!"Mmmph!" Tina kept struggling, but Henry pressed even harder!Outside, John's eyes flashed viciously.Half an hour ago, he had received an anonymous call telling him that Henry was downstairs at Tina's apartment.Concerned that Henry would hurt her, John did not wait to verify the call and drove over at top speed. He saw Henry's car immediately from afar, and it was shaking subtly despite the dimness.What that meant was clear, and remembering the call, he rushed over to the car.It was obviously customized and soundproofed, but he still heard the voices when he was near enough.It was soft and almost could not be heard if one was not listening t

    Henry stubbornly pressed, "Answer me. Did you say yes?"Tina was tired from punching and kicking and was left panting with her back against the door.There was the faint scent of blood in the air, as she ruptured the scalpel wounds she had left on him before.But Henry did not care and kept asking, "Answer me, Tina.""Yes!" Tina snapped icily. "Listen close and listen well—we're never getting back together, because I'll go out with anyone but you! Now get out of my house!"She really did not want to entertain his nutcase tendencies, but he was clearly not going to give up.And she was already exhausted from hitting him.But even if she was unsure that she would end up with John, she was dead sure that she would not get back together with Henry, not when he had indirectly murdered Sophie!And her cold glare left Henry's heart breaking, as it did everytime she looked at him that way after he found out he was Orange.How could his Orange look at him like that?"No, you can't get

    Tina was clearly in a bad mood because Henry showed up at the graveyard.Understanding as ever, John never asked her again when he took her home.However, she did not get out of his car right away and stared at John as if she had plenty to say.She knew that he was good to her, but she did not have the courage to love again after how tragically things ended with Henry.It really was once bitten twice shy, what with all the sacrifices she made."Don't worry about it. I was just too impatient—I'll wait as long as you need," John told her.He had already waited for so long anyway."John…" Tina sighed—the nicer he was to her, the more it hurt her.John shook his head and undid her seatbelt. "Just get some rest. Don't worry about it."Tina gave in and got out, and he went upstairs with her, watching her shut the door before leaving.Inside, Tina's mind was a mess as she leaned against the door.She never thought of starting a relationship over the last two years, and she was unsu

    Sophie did not need such fatherly love given out of charity!However, Henry did not take offense with Tina's cool attitude and put the gifts he brought in front of Sophie's grave. "I bought these for Sophie.""She doesn't need them," Tina snapped as she threw everything Henry brought away. "Give it off to your dear Rory—don't disgust Sophie."Henry pursed his lips as everything he picked was strewn all over the place.He knew that Tina despised Rory and did his best to avoid being seen with Rory but ran into Tina tonight anyway.And John was firmly on Tina's side. "You don't have to worry about Sophie, Mr. Barnes—I'll buy anything she likes.""Don't bother. Sophie's my daughter." Henry scowled, as John was ready to be Sophie's stepfather."So you're aware of that fact?" John scoffed, barely hiding his sarcasm. "Anyone who didn't know better would think that Rory is really your daughter!"He certainly found out how much Sophie had suffered because of Rory after what happened at

    Once she saw how much the assistant was bringing, Rory's eyes lit up as she rushed over, exclaiming in delight, "Are these all for me, Daddy? I love them! Thank you! You're the best!"She was really happy.Just as she thought, she held first place in Henry's heart—she had not even picked anything, and he had already picked so many expensive, pretty gifts.She could already imagine the envious looks on her classmates' faces when she showed them.That was when Henry said, "These are for Sophie. Pick anything else—anything you like."He had already told Rory before they entered the toy shop—she could pick whatever she liked, and he would buy it for her, but whatever he picked was for Sophie.He really had no idea what else he could do for Sophie aside from this.Over the last two years, he bought a ton of stuff—some were kept in the villa, while the others were taken to Sophie's grave.He owed Sophie so much in life that he had even less idea what he could do to make things right

    However, Rory had no idea what she should say to stop Henry from checking the cameras and could not respond in any other way aside from panic."Yes, Mr. Barnes…" The store owner recognized Henry since it was not his first time there and called for an assistant to get the security footage.However, the assistant appeared exasperated when she was told which area it was.Glancing at the owner and noticing Henry's menacing glare, she braced herself as she said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Barnes… Those cameras were broken two days ago."While Henry frowned at those words, John did not expect such an outcome either. But without the security footage, more words were pointless, so he merely shot Rory a cool glare before taking Tina's hand and strode out.Henry glared at their linked hands, the air turning cold around him as the assistant and the owner stood nearby in quiet fearful silence.On the other hand, Rory was clearly relieved when told that there was no footage—she almost had a heart at

    Staying patient, Henry said, "I had that princess gown tailor made for Sophie back then, but Rory mistakenly thought it was meant for her and wore it. The one I brought to Maple Park was a different one—I had the tailor make another, and it wasn't the one Rory had worn."He explained all that, hoping to set the record straight, though his tone soon changed. "Rory's just a child, Tina. No matter how upset you are, you shouldn't lay a finger on her."John's visage turned cold. "Before you accuse Tina, why don't you ask Rory what she said that Tina had to go that far?"Henry turned toward Tina right then—was it not because of the doll?Tina had already despised Rory because of Sophie's gown, and he understood that Tina would not like Rory because of Linda.But John was saying that there was a different story?Henry looked downward at Rory and asked, "What did you say?"As Rory knew Henry had always believed that she was an honest child, Rory leveled him a look of grief. "I didn't s

    Rory glowered.Tina dared to hit her?! She would show Tina!Just like whenever Sophie had upset her when she was still alive, Rory always had a way to make Henry hate Sophie even more!With that in mind, she burst into tears. "Argh!!! Daddy…"She was so loud that Henry heard her all the way at the cashier, and his face dropped as he turned toward her call.Still, his eyes lit up when she saw Tina.However, he soon saw John standing so close beside Tina that their shoulders were touching, and his eyes narrowed coldly, his stomach squirming uneasily.That was not the proper social distance between men and women, but Tina was clearly not uncomfortable.That could only mean that she could accept John being so close.And Henry strode toward them before he knew it, ready to split them up."Daddy…"Once he was near enough, Rory turned and threw herself into his arms, as she was the first to notice his arrival.As she wrapped her arms around his waist, she looked up to show him her

    Tina's expression darkened upon seeing Rory, whom she despised so much. "Give it back!" she snapped coolly, holding out her hand.Rory promptly hid the doll behind herself, her eyes gleeful as she giggled, "Why should I? You didn't pay for it. I'll get Daddy to pay for it right now! You know that my daddy will always give me anything I want. Who do you think you are, trying to take my stuff?"She even imitated Linda's mannerisms just to upset Tina, putting emphasis on 'my daddy' just to rub it into her face.It was something she had always prided herself with.So what if Sophie had Henry's blood? She would always be more important to Henry than Sophie.Sophie would never win against her!That was when John just bought the drinks and saw Rory snatching the doll from Tina outside the toy shop, even spouting those nonsensical words.He strode up, growling darkly, "Didn't your mother teach you about 'first come, first served'? Give it back!"He really would not have argued with 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
