Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 190
Henry was left watching as Sophie's tears flooded her cheeks.The girl had just recovered from a fever and was still sickly as she leaned in Tina's arms, but she kept crying miserably, repeatedly saying that she did not push Rory—that it was Rory who had pushed her and ended up falling into the swimming pool.Seeing Sophie like that, even Henry had trouble doubting her to call her a liar.But would Rory really push Sophie? Impossible! Rory loved Sophie, and it was Rory who had asked to meet Sophie even in the first place.Rory had told Henry then, "I've just returned and don't have any friends, but Mommy told me I have a sister named Sophie. Can I be friends with Sophie?"Then, putting her hand on her chest like an adult, she assured him, "Don't worry, Daddy! I'll definitely take good care of Sophie! I'll share all my toys and clothes with Sophie!"She had been so happy and eager to meet and befriend Sophie. Why would she push Sophie?That was when Henry's phone rang.It was
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 191
Rory straightened herself, looking utterly disciplined.Seeing that she did not hesitate to answer, Henry's tone softened. "Then tell me the truth. When you first met Sophie, was it you who pushed Sophie and fell into the pool yourself, or did Sophie push you?"As soon as he finished, Rory shook her head repeatedly, her tears falling right away. "No! I didn't push Sophie!""Why would you ask that, Henry?" Linda promptly leaped in, seemingly unable to bear seeing her daughter hurt. "You know that Rory loves Sophie. Why would she push Sophie?"There's no way Rory would push Sophie. If you don't believe Rory, then tell Tina to bring Sophie over, and we'll have them corroborate their stories."Linda had no idea why Henry would suddenly mention that day, but she knew very well that she had nothing to worry about. There were no cameras in her house, and Sophie was already dead—they just had to keep insisting that Rory had not pushed Sophie and frame it to look otherwise!At the same

Linda was exceedingly confident that no man could reject her in this condition.Moreover, Henry loved her very much.As such, she did not expect a firm hand to hold her by the shoulder, stopping her before her lips could reach Henry's."Linda!"His voice was quiet but steady, and his eyes were clear—devoid of any hesitation one would find after falling to seduction.Tears immediately welled up in Linda's eyes, and she looked up at Henry with grief and embarrassment, her voice choking with tears. "Why?"Henry pursed his lips in silence, which left her lips quivering and her tears falling right then. "Henry, are you turning me down because of what happened five years ago?""Linda!" Henry's quiet voice turned to a growl, carrying a hint of disapproval.Seeing his change in expression, Linda turned flustered and took his hand. "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have said that… Don't get upset. I know you love me and would never spurn me..."She trailed off, her tone suddenly taking a sharp t
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 193
After seeing how sweet and adorable Sophie really was, and how he had hurt her so thoroughly because of his own prejudice, Henry really wanted to hug her and apologize.Thankfully, there was plenty of time—he had the rest of his life to make up for those five years of neglect.On the other hand, Linda was left watching as he left, her knuckles clenching and her nails digging deeply into her own flesh, her eyes flashing with utterly jealousy!Sophie Barnes! Even in death, she was ruining her plans!-At the hospital, Tina was carefully wiping Madam Barnes' body and helping her change into fresh clothes.Knowing that Madam Barnes always wanted to stay dignified, she combed her hair neatly.The nurse tried to help, but Sam's wife stopped the nurse, telling her to work on something else.This was Tina's gesture of affection for Madam Barnes, because she was a child who understood gratitude.Madam Barnes had been good to her and genuinely cared for her, and she returned the favor w
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 194
Henry leveled a cold glare straight at Tina as he said bluntly, "I want to see Sophie!"It was 'I want', and not 'I wish'—he was telling Tina that she did not get to argue.However, his demanding tone only left Tina's eyes flashing coldly, and she sneered as she retorted, "What gives you the right?"A blind fool who protected Sophie's murderer unconditionally had absolutely none!Henry thought that Tina was just accusing him of neglecting and abusing Sophie for five years since her birth, and so, he fought back his annoyance with Tina's tone, calmly reasoning, "I've seen the security footage at the villa. I now know that I was wrong about Sophie—she didn't push Rory when the girls had first met."The mention of that day made Tina remember.She had been worried and rushed over to Linda's house, and she immediately saw Sophie standing all by herself right beside the swimming pool and quietly shedding tears.That face, which was always smiling, was drenched in tears, and her little
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 195
Tina should never have held out hope for Henry.Not one tiny bit!She began, "I told you—""Stop behaving like a petulant child!" Henry snapped, cutting her short. "Don't tell me that you won't let me see Sophie for the rest of my life!"His patience was almost running out. He had already admitted that he was wrong to neglect Sophie for five years, but it was not as if he could not correct it.He could make amends and offer Sophie the fatherly love she was owed, so why did Tina have to keep up her stubborn streak?!"You can hide Sophie for a couple of months, but do you think you can hide her for life?! I'm her father! You have no right to hide her from me! Quit stopping me from seeing her!"He was convinced that he just had to see Sophie and apologize to the child, and she would definitely forgive him.Sophie loved him, her daddy, very much after all.However, as Tina stayed silent, Henry got impatient and grabbed her hand, saying sternly, "Take me to Sophie now."Tina's e
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 196
After Henry left, Tina stood where she was, her chest heaving.Henry's apology to Sophie not only stung her so much, but it also felt like a boulder on her chest, leaving her suffocating.She clutched her aching chest, wobbling as she leaned on the couch and pushed herself up, reaching with a shaking hand to get her pills from her handbag.She opened the cover and shook the bottle, but nothing was coming out.She had taken all her pills.Dropping the bottle, she slid limply to the floor, unable to control her thoughts while guilt snared her like a giant net.Tina really regretted moving Sophie so much. In a bid to spare Sophie the cruel truth that her father did not love her, Tina weaved the fairy tale that Henry loved her very much.If Tina had not, then Sophie would not have loved Henry nor suffered so much.It was all her fault.She was useless as Sophie's mother, exposing Sophie to all the suffering there was in life.Even after Sophie was gone, she could not do anything
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 197
Standing before Sophie's gravestone, Linda's face contorted viciously as she glared at Sophie's tiny face on the gravestone.She was frustrated, so she would vent everything on the brat!She raised her foot, kicking the flowers and fruits that Tina had brought a couple of days ago, knocking everything all over the place and spitting as she kept kicking. "You bastard! You have to screw with me even after I killed you! Well, since you won't leave me in peace, I won't return the favor!"Your bitch of a mom went the extra mile to get you such a nice grave, huh? So that you can reincarnate to a better life?! Let's see how you're going to reincarnate now!"Linda laughed darkly as she arched her back and picked up the large bottle she brought, waving it at Sophie as she gloated, "Do you know what this is? It took me a lot of effort to get this dog's blood, and I've soaked a stack of special talismans in there."With these talismans and dog's blood, you won't rest in peace! You won't even

Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 512
Rory asked, "Daddy? Is that my birthday present?"At the same time, she knew very well that if Henry saw what that straw doll really was, he would be absolutely furious.That was why he must not let him see at any cost.However, Henry was still glowering as he threw the gift aside, taking a step forward and glaring at her menacingly. "Show it to me!""Daddy…"More tears gushed from Rory's eyes, as if Henry terrified her.And yet, she gingerly reached out, tugging on the hem of Henry's shirt, chirping sweetly, "Daddy, you're scaring me. Don't look at me like that."At that moment, she was once again the Rory that Henry was so familiar with.Mature and obedient.Kind and innocent.Guileless and harmless.But Henry could not forget about the Rory he saw just now.And seeing that she kept trying to manipulate him, he lost all patience and pushed her aside, while reaching for the blanket with his other hand."Daddy! Don't look!"Rory cried as she lunged over in a panic to stop
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 511
As Henry opened the door, he was left staring in shock as Rory knelt before her own bed, her young, dainty face contorted with sinister malice that did not suit her age.Just seeing that left Henry wondering if this was still the sweet, disciplined Rory whom he knew? He just could not connect that other Rory with the one he was looking at now.As she held a tiny straw doll in one hand and a long needle in the other, cursing Sophie's name while stabbing the needle repeatedly into the straw doll, it was clear that the straw doll was meant to represent Sophie.A fire flared inside Henry's mind—Sophie's death had always been an agony to him, and he owed her plenty and wanted nothing less than to give her a better afterlife.More than that, he yearned for the day that Tina forgave him, and then they could have another child.With that, Sophie could reincarnate and become their daughter once more, so he would have a chance to make amends.When he yearned for those things so much, how
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 510
After Henry found out that Tina was the real Orange, watching the footage of Sophie only made him regret even more.He really wanted to go back to seven years ago and beat his past self up violently.Even as he looked tearfully at Sophie—the child of her and Orange's love, so cute and pretty on the screen—he thought she should have grown up pampered as the happiest princess.And yet, he had scorned her even before she was born and treated her with utter insignificance after she was born.Just thinking about how she looked at him, yearning for her fatherly affection, left his heart feeling like it was being stabbed a thousand times over."I'm so sorry, Sophie! Can you come back to me?" he asked, gently brushing his finger against her photo on the gravestone.However, there was no answer to his question, and he felt like he was stabbed again as he kept watching the video alone in the cold winter night.When the video was finished, his tears covered his face.The more Sophie loved
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 509
Rory was endlessly confident that she mattered most in her daddy's heart.However, Henry usually arrived very early on her birthdays. When he did not show up by eight, Rory called his number, but no one answered.Still, she was afraid to keep calling and instead texted him.[Daddy, when are you coming?]Once again, there was no answer—he did not pick up as she tried to call later too, and nor did he show up as noon arrived.Even as she felt disheartened, she peered at Linda with the corner of her eye.Linda had gone the extra mile to look pretty, as she had promised to persuade Henry so that they could celebrate her birthday together.She quickly tried to call Henry as there was no sign of him, and they continued to wait all the way to the evening.Meanwhile, Linda had already received the message that Henry had gone to Sophie's grave first thing in the morning and never left since.Furious, she steered her wheelchair and rammed into Rory, knocking her to the floor, all whil
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 508
Linda told Rory that Sophie was Henry's real daughter.Because they were connected by blood, if they spent more time with each other and bonded, Rory would become unimportant because she was not really Henry's daughter.There was no way Rory would let Sophie take her daddy away, so she agreed to let Linda make her sick.Then, Linda waited until Henry was on the way to the amusement park before calling him, to make sure Henry would walk out on Sophie.After that, Linda told her that Sophie had stupidly waited for half a day at the amusement park and died.Sophie was really stupid—she knew that Henry did not love her, but she still thought she could steal Henry away from Rory on her birthday!However, because Sophie died, Henry never took her to the amusement park last year for her, even though he had promised to do it every year.Still, seeing that Henry was silent, she promptly played the mature daughter and said, "It's alright, Daddy—I was just asking. It's okay if you just spe

Henry nodded. "Good."After Andy left and Yancy arrived, Rory already changed into fresh clothes, hugging Henry's arm as she sat beside him on the couch, leaning on him with an utterly clingy look.Yancy went over and examined her before concluding, "She's lucky you found her in time and didn't catch a cold. But you have to be more careful—she's still recovering and wouldn't survive an infection."And with those instructions, Yancy left.The rim of her eyes reddened, Rory knew she was in the wrong and apologized, "I'm sorry, Daddy. I should have behaved instead of making you worry. It won't happen again.""As long as you understand. Don't do something like that ever again," Henry rebuked her, but his tone was gentle.Rory nodded repeatedly and threw herself into his arms As Henry still had work to do, he was going to ask Andy to take her home, but she refused. "It's been two weeks, Daddy. I'll stay with you a little longer. I promise to stay in a corner and read my books withou
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 506
Rory was crouching at a corner of the office building, her clothes soaked through and her tiny form curled up.She was trembling in the cold as she looked at Henry."Rory!" Henry's eyes widened and he hurried over, catching some of the rain as his bodyguard could not keep up with him.Still, Henry could not care less as he rushed to Rory's side, taking off his suit jacket and wrapping it around Rory, and then scooped her stiff little body up in his arms.As he did, he felt her hands too—they were as cold as ice, leaving his heart tightening.Her large eyes were filled with tears, and she was not behaving like before.After all, whenever Henry picked her up, she would always hug his neck, calling him 'Daddy' sweetly as she leaned her cheeks on his chest.In the winter rain, the chilling winds cut to the bone.Even though Henry had realized that something was wrong with Rory, he did not ask her immediately, but instead strode into the building with her in his arms and took the el

"I need some rest, Rory," he said, his tone a little cool. "I'll drop by later to visit. Just go home and get some rest."It was meant as a warning to Linda as well, to discourage her from using Rory to bridge the distance between them ever again."Daddy…"However, it was the first time Henry was being that cold toward Rory. Before he could reach her, Andy stopped her, "Please, Rory—Mr. Barnes is really feeling ill and needs rest. If you really care, you should listen instead of bothering him further."Rory pursed her lips as she stood at the doorway, her tears welling up in her eyes as she leveled a doleful look at Henry.However, as Henry closed his eyes and she could not get anything from him, she left, looking back every other step.She was very much panicking—was Henry really angry at her this time?And if Henry did not love her, then Linda would not either.What could she do at that point?Nonetheless, she got downstairs and got into a car parked outside.And seeing h

"It doesn't hurt. Really," John teased, seeing the grim look on Tina's face.Annoyed, Tina shot him a glare and pressed on the cotton bud.John gasped, "Oof…"Tina promptly withdrew her hand but still scoffed. "I thought you said it didn't hurt!""My bad!" John promptly apologized—he simply could not be harsh on her.Still, Tina became even gentler then as she worked meticulously.At the same time, Tina's phone kept jingling with text messages, all of which were from Henry, who kept apologizing.However, she only picked up her phone after disinfecting John's face and did not read a single text as she blocked Henry.John then led her to the main bedroom, where the sheets were already changed.He really was attentive as ever.Nonetheless, Tina was really spent. "Goodnight.""Goodnight," John replied and lit some scented candles to help her sleep, while Tina lay under her warm sheets.Outside, the rain was getting heavier.She thought she would stay wide awake after the night
