Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 202
Linda was just thinking about what she should do about Tina to keep driving her further from Henry.Tina clearly resented Henry now because Henry protected Linda unconditionally, so Linda just had to trick Henry into hating Tina once more…But even before she could finish the thought, her face dropped as Rory bawled beside her, telling her that she had called Henry."Who told you to do that?!" she snapped at Rory right then.The brat could never do anything right!Linda was never going to tell Henry in the first place, as she had no idea what she should say when he asked how she got hurt.Her tears still on her cheeks, Rory was left too scared to say a word even though her lips twitched.Linda was really too weary for her, but the damage was done. She could not call Henry to tell him not to come either, as it would be obvious that she had something to hide.After some thought, Linda sent Rory to the doorway to wait for Henry, while she quickly cleaned her forehead and lay on
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 203
Linda was clearly shocked, not expecting Henry to immediately guess that Tina had hurt her.However, that reaction put her mind at ease.She had already thought of a plan—Tina could only have known that she killed Sophie from Quentin, so she was lucky that Quentin was dead.There was no evidence proving her crime now, and without evidence, Henry's immediate reaction to anything was to take her side when it came down to her and Tina.So what did she have to worry about?Her heart utterly gleeful, her lips curled up slightly as she looked up at Henry, who was glowering because Tina had hurt her.Still, she restrained herself and called out to her maid, "Mrs. Long, could you take Rory upstairs?" She would never forget to maintain her perfect image as a mother at every waking moment and take care of Rory even if things were bad."Mommy…" Rory looked at her worriedly."Be good now." Linda smiled at Rory. "Don't worry about me—I'm fine, and Daddy's here. Go to bed now.""Go on," H

Tina was always earnest toward anyone and anything, unlike Linda, whom Carl despised for her hypocritical nature despite her ability to keep up appearances perfectly.When Tina was first brought to Barnes Ranch, she considered herself an outsider and took everything lying down.Carl heard that she eventually gained some confidence because of Henry and changed just slightly but never abused his concern to start trouble. However, she would still fight back if someone pushed her too far.Therefore, if Tina really did attack Linda tonight, it could only be because Linda had really driven her to the brink.As Carl glanced at Henry, he really wondered why Henry could never understand that.He knew that he should not speak right now, but he could not help asking, "Ms. Cook, may I ask why Ms. Smith attacked you?"Linda was clearly taken aback but soon gathered herself and looked up from Henry's arms at Carl, shaking her head as her tone turned even more aggrieved. "I don't know—why wou
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 205
There was no hiding the concern in Henry's voice, and he was studying Tina from head to toe as he spoke.He could not see under her clothes, which were not torn, so he had no idea where she was hurt and did not pull her too forcefully.However, he kept holding on to her wrist firmly, stopping her from freeing herself while shooting Carl a look to examine her.Carl was stunned as Tina looked positively demonic just then, and he could not quite recover.It was Henry's sharp glare that jolted him to his senses, and he hurried over.Seeing that Tina was not in her right mind, he said mildly, "Please, Ms. Smith. Madam Barnes' heart would break if she woke up to see you hurt."Although Tina twitched ever so slightly at the mention of Madam Barnes, the flaring hatred in her eyes did not die off.Instead, she told Carl calmly, "Don't worry. I'm not hurt, Dr. Sandler. This isn't my blood—it was Linda who…"Tina remembered Linda's heinous act even as she was about to mention the dog's bl

"Henry!!!"Linda suddenly yelled, grimacing as if her heart broke from seeing Henry's wounded arm.Not caring that Tina was a threat, she ran toward her with eyes filled with concern. "You're hurt…"She seemed to have moved too quickly and slipped, while Henry relaxed his grip from Tina's wrist and reached out toward Linda in reflex.As Linda fell into Henry's arms just like that, she did not seem to notice Tina behind her back, as her eyes were glued to Henry's injury.Her eyes teary, she called out to Carl, who was just a few paces away, "Dr. Sandler, please, you have to help Henry…"While she was a little afraid that Tina could kill her, she was even more certain that no harm would come to her as long as Henry was right there with them.Therefore, she was not actually worried at all.As for Tina, she knew that Linda was not actually worried that Henry was hurt—Linda was yelling to interrupt what she was about to say.However, Tina did not care.She had come to kill Linda a
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 207
Henry was serious about making amends to Sophie, so why did Tina have to be so stubborn about it?And he should be upset, but the sight of her being so pale in his arms stopped him from being too harsh on her.He should also be leaving her in Carl's care too, but his body reacted quicker than his mind, and he scooped her up in his arms."Henry…"Watching as Henry's attention was completely fixed on Tina, Linda had to fight back her jealousy and call out meekly to Henry.She appeared more hurt than Tina, so Henry was not going to leave her behind…Henry glanced at her but did not leave Tina with Carl as she had expected, instead telling Carl, "Take care of Linda."Carl had served the Barnes family for years, and Henry trusted the family doctor."Yes, Mr. Barnes!"With Carl's reply, Henry promptly strode out, still carrying Tina.Linda's eyes widened in disbelief, finally realizing that Henry was really leaving her, despite her being injured, and leaving with Tina."Henry…"
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 208
Tina woke up early the next morning, not sleeping for long despite being sedated.She felt a splitting headache even as she opened her eyes and soon realized that she was on the giant bed of the main bedroom back at the villa.Soon, memories of last night rushed into her mind, to the moment when Linda had so spitefully thrown the dog's blood laced with cursed talismans on Sophie's gravestone, as Linda wanted Sophie to suffer even in the afterlife.As Tina was about to set out, feeling hatred welling up in her as well as the impulse to murder Linda, she heard Henry's voice from the balcony.His tone was gentle as he comforted Linda, who appeared scared. "It's alright—last night was just an accident, and it won't happen again. I've arranged for bodyguards, and she's never going to hurt you and Rory…"Tina could not be bothered to listen to the rest, as all she heard was that Henry had arranged for bodyguards to protect Linda.And that meant Tina could not even reach Linda now.Her
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 209
In her heart, Tina resented Henry's brainless protectiveness and Linda's vile nature while also resenting her own incompetence.And the more she resented her own incompetence, the more guilty she felt toward Sophie, feeling that she owed her but could not avenge her.That frustration and helplessness was a boulder weighing on her chest, suffocating her.As Tina's psychiatrist told her to talk to someone to ease her mind, which was already on the brink, she immediately thought of Madam Barnes.Madam Barnes was still comatose, but she was also one of the few who loved and cared for Tina.And since she was comatose, Tina did not have to worry about her going into shock when told that Linda killed Sophie.Heading to the hospital right then, Tina headed straight to Madam Barnes' room once she parked her car.Madam Barnes was still unconscious, and Carl had no idea when she would wake up.Sam's wife was there and was concerned when she saw how pale Tina was. "Are you losing sleep fro

Early next morning, Henry headed to the graveyard again.His fever had just broken, and his head was bandaged, and his mind groggy.Tina had really gone all out when she threw that vase at his head.If it were not a vase but something hard, she would have killed him.The thought left his heart sinking.He paused for a moment in the car before alighting, picking up Sophie's favorite food and the dress she loved but never gave it to her.As he went up the stairs, each step hurt after kneeling for an entire night and swimming for two hours.After no more than a few steps, his foot wobbled."Watch out!" Linda cried, rushing over from behind and catching him.Seeing her, Henry frowned and asked in annoyance, "What are you doing here?"Yesterday, at the hospital, she had asked him which graveyard Sophie was buried in and said she wanted to visit.He knew that Linda was being kind, but he also knew that Tina was ready for murder whenever Linda was mentioned.If Tina were to know t
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 227
"No. Tina already buried her."Henry rasped, his voice and heart aching at the very mention of it. "I'm Sophie's father, but I only found out yesterday… I feel so sorry for her!"The rim of his eyes reddened again.Yesterday, he had knelt before Sophie's grave, telling her sorry a million times.But what was the point? Sophie was never coming back, and he could not make amends!Linda watched as Henry grimaced in misery, sitting by his bed as he took his hand, her own eyes tearful as she consoled him, "You have to move on, Henry!"I know Sophie's death hurts, but she loved you so much—she definitely wouldn't want to see her daddy hurting wherever she is now, or she'll be sad.""No." Henry shook his head, tears welling up in his eyes. "She'll just blame me and resent me."They said that men did not cry, but that was only because they were not hit where it hurt.And Henry could not stop his tears even as Linda kept comforting him. "No way! Sophie would never blame or resent you.
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 226
Sensing someone beside his bed, Henry turned before he knew it, thinking it was Tina.But it was Linda, and he felt disappointed for some reason.His movement woke Linda up, and she looked up in joy to see him up, choking with tears rolling all over her face. "You're awake! What happened to you, Henry? Why did you do this to yourself? Don't you know that seeing you hurt hurts me too?"Her eyes were red with concern, and seeing that he was silent, she reached out to touch his face. "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you in pain? I'll get the doctor!"She looked absolutely worried, and all she cared about was him.But just as she was about to turn and leave, Henry reached out and caught her wrist.Linda paused and turned toward him. "Henry?"Henry held her gaze and suddenly said, "Sophie's dead."Those words came out of nowhere.He was clearly probing Linda, and he was not sure himself why.He clearly trusted Linda—they were childhood friends, and she had been kind since she
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 225
Tina stood behind her door, holding Sophie's bone and watching coolly as Henry lay on the floor, crimson blood flowed out of the cut on his forehead.It first started with trickles, but he was soon lying in a pool of his own blood.It was a gruesome sight, just like the way she found Sophie that day when she reached the amusement park.However, Tina also felt completely different emotions from that day.While she had been on the verge of a breakdown when she found Sophie, she now watched Henry indifferently, not helping him to his feet or calling for help.She simply stood there watching.-Downstairs, Andy was leaning against the car and smoking a cigarette as he watched Tina's floor.When the motion sensor lights turned off, he thought that Henry was coming down and snuffed his cigarette, throwing it into a nearby trash can.However, after waiting for a while but not seeing Henry, while the lights never turned on again, he realized in shock that something had gone wrong.Th

Henry simply stared at the necklace, while Andy drove all the way to Tina's apartment in Maple Park.Henry then wobbled out of the car. His ankles were swollen and hurt after kneeling an entire night and being underwater for so long.Still, he made it outside Tina's door despite great difficulty and knocked.Tina could not sleep herself.She had hurt Henry by talking about Sophie's life, but it hurt her too.When she came home, she stayed in Sophie's room, hugged her photo, and cried the entire night.Hearing the knock on her door, she put down Sophie's photo and went to answer it.She found Henry standing outside, his face unusually pale and his eyes bloodshot, his expression weary.Stubble had grown out as he did not sleep the whole night, making him look especially listless.However, his appearance did not invoke any sympathy from Tina, and she snapped coolly, "You had the cheek to get up and leave?"He should kneel before Sophie's grave until he died!Andy, who had come
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 223
The waters of deep winter chilled the bone, leaving Henry shuddering immediately as he dove under the pool.The freezing temperatures left his exposed skin reddened and stinging, but the cold did not discourage him.His guilt and self-blame only grew further, as he had thrown his already sickly daughter into the pool, leaving her in these icy waters for so long."It's alright, Sophie… Daddy's here. Daddy will take you home…"With that thought, Henry dived to the depths, searching with the rays of dawn that pierced into the depths.He looked around the surface and found nothing, so he began to claw into the mud, not caring about getting his hands dirty.Time passed.He was a great swimmer, but the mud went deep, and it was dim underneath.But he never gave up.Whenever he felt out of breath, he went to the surface to inhale deeply and dived down again."Mr. Barnes…"Andy stood anxiously by the pond, having picked up the coat Henry had thrown on the ground, watching worriedly

After Linda vandalized Sophie's gravestone, the graveyard's security got her number, saying that they would keep an eye and tell her right away if anyone got near Sophie's grave.Tina tapped on the photo sent to her and saw that it was Henry kneeling in front of Sophie's grave.So, he managed to find Sophie's grave anyway…Still, it was inevitable once he set his mind to it.The only reason he never knew about Sophie's death was that he did not care and refused to spare the effort to look.She replied to the text: [Thank you, but don't worry about him. He's Sophie's father.]With that, she put away her phone—Henry owed Sophie that much anyway.-The security guards ignored Henry as Tina told them to, although they would find him still kneeling there during every patrol.In fact, he stayed there through the night, and he only got up when the sun rose the next day."Daddy will come by tomorrow again," he said as he touched Sophie's little face and wobbled out of the graveyard.
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 221
The name was a sharp knife that stabbed viciously into Henry's heart, and his figure wobbled as if he could not take it.It took a long while for him to finally look up, his eyes red as he took Sophie's death certificate from Tina and saw the cause of death: kidney failure.His chest suddenly felt stuck and stuffy, suffocating him.Sophie was really dead.His daughter… dead!"Where's she buried?" he rasped.He wanted to see her anyway.On the other hand, Tina was endlessly indifferent even as she watched him hurt. "You have no right to visit Sophie. Don't bother her when she's resting in peace."A man who never stopped protecting Sophie's murderer certainly had no right! And with those words, Tina turned to leave.The only reason she came was because she did not want Madam Barnes to make this easy for Henry.She wanted to make him understand Sophie while making it very painful, so that it would hurt him.She had never bothered to hope for Henry to avenge Sophie, not when L
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 220
It was all true—Sophie was really sick and had kidney failure.Henry then remembered Sophie calling him, asking gingerly and tearfully, "Daddy, can you come visit me? I'm sick, and the injections hurt—""Don't lie like your mother." Henry had snapped coolly at her and hung up.He thought she was pretending to be sick just like before when Tina had asked her to.Now, he could not even imagine how hurt Sophie must have been.Rory had kidney failure too, but Henry was at her side during every injection.As for Sophie? Not even once.He had heartlessly rejected her the only time she mustered her courage to call him.He really had no right to call himself her father.He wobbled unsteadily even as the truths struck him one after the other."I didn't know that Sophie's really sick. I thought…"He tried to explain himself but could not just then.Now that he remembered, Tina had fired that maid, who was problematic in the first place.But now was not the time for that, nor the tim
