Chapter 206

Author: Angelica1
"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

    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…"

    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

    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

    "Tina… Don't cry…"It was only when Madam Barnes called out to her lovingly, gently lifting her hand to wipe her tears, that Tina realized this was reality.Madam Barnes was really awake!Not caring about her own misery just then and forgetting the buzzer, Tina tearfully rushed outside and called out to the bodyguards nearby, "Madam Barnes is awake! Get the doctor!"The doctor soon arrived, giving Madam Barnes a full-body examination to ascertain that she was fully conscious and that other vital signs were in normal range."Remember, the patient mustn't be put through further shock."Madam Barnes was old and could not take that much, after all.Tina nodded, while Sam's wife escorted the doctor out of the room.Still, even as Madam Barnes was being examined, she was holding Tina's hand throughout, her eyes on her with overflowing pain."Leave us, and don't tell anyone I'm awake for now," she told Sam's wife.Sam's wife was actually about to call Henry and the rest of the Barne

    Madam Barnes' words ruptured the dam of emotions that Tina had worked so hard to withhold."I hate Linda Cook! I could stab her a million times and slice her apart, so that there's nothing left of her!"How could she be so vile and kill my darling Sophie?!"Sophie was only five, and she's a mother too! How could she bring herself to do this?!"Her tears bursting out, she cried in utter resentment—resentment she had felt ever since she got the truth from Quentin.Last night, when Linda went to Sophie's grave to curse her with dog's blood and talismans, Tina's hatred toward the woman vaporized her rationality.She did not care anymore, if she could take her down with her!Madam Barnes sobbed as Tina did—her dear Tina had really suffered too much.She did not have family and craved warmth.Gina had taken her in and doted on her, more or less making up for it.But later on, Gina was gone, and Tina had Sophie, the only family with her blood whom she loved to the bone.Losing Soph

    Still, Madam Barnes could not get discharged yet, so she would have Tina take Henry to Sophie's grave instead and make him fall apart in regret!"Yeah," Tina replied, not knowing why Madam Barnes wanted her phone at all.As Madam Barnes took it, she scowled as she called Henry, but no one answered.She tried repeatedly afterward, but he never picked up.She glowered—what was that brat up to this time?"Please, Grandma, you just got up. Just rest for now," Tina told her, seeing the terrible look on her face.She had lost herself and ended up burdening Madam Barnes with her emotional baggage, when the doctor had already warned against causing Madam Barnes shock."Alright." Madam Barnes nodded. "I'll just take a nap for now. When that brat calls back, tell him to get over here this instant."She knew the condition of her own health, and while she was anxious, she had to take care of her own health to avenge Sophie and protect Tina.As she lay down, she soon fell asleep—her body h

    Sophie's grape-like eyes were filled with yearning then, and she turned to Tina as she stepped out. "Mommy, can I ask Daddy to give me piggyback rides next time he comes home? Just for a little while—I won't make him tired."She even held up her little hand to swear it.However, Tina knew that Henry would never agree to it and never answered, as if she was quickly coming up with a reason that would not hurt Sophie.Nevertheless, Sophie was just so mature.Seeing that Tina was silent, she promptly lowered her hand and said, "Mommy, Daddy is already very tired working hard to buy me presents. I won't make Daddy tired. I was just kidding… I don't really want piggybacks."Despite what she said, her reaction was honest—her eyes were still sneaking peeks at the child next door.She really wanted a piggyback ride.There was a lump in Henry's throat after watching the footage, and Sophie's words left him even more guilty.He should not have stood her up, but fortunately, he could make

    And once Sophie called him, he would find out where she was, and he would see her again.To avoid his phone line from being engaged, he had even blocked every other number for the day just so that Sophie's call would reach him right away.However, the citywide broadcast had started since this morning, and with the press and internet covering it, everyone in the city should know.So there was no way Sophie would be oblivious.However, his phone never rang.As more time passed, Henry's expression darkend.Sophie was a good girl—she would definitely call him when she saw this.The only explanation was that Tina had been stopping her.She did raise Sophie, and Sophie was as dependent as she was obedient, loving Tina very much in turn.If Tina stopped her, Sophie would listen and curb her impulse no matter how much she wanted it the other way.And Henry would not blame Sophie if she sided with Tina.But Tina… He had already done so much, so she should be feeling his sincerity t

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
