Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 245
The skies were getting darker, but Tina was driving around aimlessly after leaving Barnes Ranch.Following Madam Barnes' death, the boulder weighing on her chest became even heavier.Henry told her that if she had not accused Linda of murdering Sophie without evidence, Madam Barnes would not have gone after Linda and died from the aggravation. However, she knew that Linda definitely murdered Madam Barnes.But if—just if—she had not cried out her grief when she thought Madam Barnes was unconscious, then Madam Barnes would not know about Sophie's death, or that Linda murdered Sophie.Would Madam Barnes be alive if she had not gone after Linda? As for Sophie, if Tina had never been delusional about Henry and did not conjure the illusion that Sophie's daddy loved her, then maybe Sophie would not yearn for Henry so much, let alone expect his love.She would not have lied to wait for Henry, and her condition would not have worsened.And she would not have died.There were two voic

Tina was consumed by endless despair.As her body crashed into the bone-chilling water, she did not flail around like a person who had accidentally fallen into water.Having no will to live, she allowed herself to sink.It hurt to drown.Tina could clearly feel the air in her lungs running out, while water gushed in through her mouth and nostrils.Her lungs burned, and she felt like she was ripped apart.Her strength gradually left her, and she started to suffocate.Her consciousness muddled, she knew she was going to die.But before she blacked out, she seemed to see Sophie reaching out to her, just like five years ago, calling out to her sweetly, "Mommy."Tina's lips curled into a tender smile. "I'm here, Sophie."With that, she allowed the darkness to consume her as the last of her consciousness drained away.Would she see her baby again when she died? She really wanted to hug Sophie again…-Meanwhile, John Levine's car had stopped on the other side of the bridge.He

Tina was not responding, while John's call to the hospital got through, and he quickly gave them their location.Once the emergency responders confirmed and hung up, he promptly started to resuscitate Tina.He was usually calm, but his eyes turned red when he could not feel a pulse on Tina's wrist and jugular.His lips were trembling even as he cried, "Tina!"Still no response.He did not wait for the ambulance to arrive and started CPR, performing chest compressions as he yelled, "Wake up! Tina! Wake up! Stay with me! You hear me?!"Still no response.John's eyes reddened further, but he never stopped despite being drained and kept trying to resuscitate Tina even though she did not respond.When the ambulance finally arrived, EMTs moved Tina to the ambulance to continue reviving her, while John wobbled up to his feet and followed the ambulance in his car.Along the way, he made several calls.By the time the ambulance arrived at the hospital, several famous doctors were wait
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 248
Tina was moved to a hospital ward.As the doctor had said, she had no will to live and remained unconscious ever since she was wheeled out of the ER.John sat by her bed, never leaving her side and not closing his eyes once for an entire night.He did not dare to be distracted in case anything happened and repeatedly offered words of encouragement so that she would pull together—so that she would find the will to live.However, nothing worked.She could obviously hear him but simply refused to respond, instead laying there silently without giving the reaper a fight, allowing her own life to drain away bit by bit.She really did not want to live.A doctor who came early in the morning to examine Tina then suggested, "Why don't you bring Ms. Smith's loved ones over? They might be able to help."Loved ones?John's immediate thought was Sophie.But worried about leaving Tina alone at the hospital, he called his assistant to find Sophie and bring her over as soon as possible.As

John himself found footage of a project that the children had done together for Thanksgiving.It was going to be compiled into a video and sent to the parents as a present.However, after Sophie's passing, Tina did not attend the Thanksgiving event, and the teachers did not send her the video.And now, John held his phone by Tina's ear and played it since he knew she could hear."Sophie, what would you like to tell your mommy for thanksgiving?" a teacher was asking."Thank you Mommy for bringing me to life," Sophie said sweetly then. "Thank you Mommy for raising me, playing with me every day, taking me to eat good food, and teaching me to draw, sing, and dance."Mommy has always told me that I'm her most precious baby and that loves me very much, and she hopes that I can be happy and healthy."I want to stay with Mommy too. I love you, Mommy. I'm so lucky that I'm your daughter, but…"Mommy, if I don't get better and go to heaven, please don't be sad. You have to be strong, Mom
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 250
As John pulled out his handkerchief to wipe away her tears, Tina instinctively wanted to stop him, but his gentle gaze stopped her.She stared blankly as he wiped her face.They were in a relationship, but it was just an act.Now that Madam Barnes was gone, she could no longer stay as a member of the Barnes family, let alone bail him out of arranged dates.So why was he doing this?"I think I should be honest with you about something, Tina," John suddenly said.He knew this was not the best timing, but after almost losing her forever, he refused to wait.His gaze was tender as he looked at her, showing her the feelings he had buried in his heart for years."That day, in the car… I was lying when I said I needed a partner to stop my family from arranging my marriage. You're the reason I agreed to Madam Barnes' arrangement."I like you, Tina."John refrained from saying 'love', as it might be too much for Tina since she was amnesiac.Tina was clearly stunned—just 'like' was en
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 251
In the afternoon, the doctor examined Tina, and once ensuring that she was mostly fine, John finished the paperwork to get her discharged.He then took her to a restaurant with a menu of delicate flavors, with John putting food on her plate.Even if Tina was not feeling an appetite, she ate quite a lot.When they were finished and they got in his car, John asked her softly, "May I visit Sophie?"He had watched the footage of Sophie from the kindergarten on loop while Tina was asleep.He really loved the girl, perhaps because she was Tina's flesh and blood.She was really sweet, mature, and likeable.Tina wanted to see Sophie too.She was suicidal because she did not take her medication yesterday and lost herself.How could she die before she avenged Sophie?Nodding, she said, "Okay."After asking, John bought plenty of Sophie's favorite food for the visit.Tina would usually do the same whenever she visited, hoping that she could have them in her afterlife since she couldn'
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 252
Henry was Sophie's father, and given his connections and position in Jadelight, John could not think of anyone whom Tina could not get revenge from—save for Linda Cook, Henry's one true love.To no surprise, Tina's eyes widened in shock as she looked at John. "How'd you know?"There was hope in her voice—she hoped that he knew something she did not.Perhaps he had evidence? How else would he know that it was Linda?Still, reading that look, John took her hand and said softly, "It's just a hunch. I don't have evidence."The glow in Tina's eyes faded instantly, but John patted her head to comfort her. "There's no such thing as the perfect crime. As long as she did it, she would've left a trail."And even if she managed to escape this time, vile people like her won't stop at doing it once. We just have to watch her constantly, and we'll eventually gain leverage against her."You have to believe, Tina, that the evil would always get their comeuppance. We will definitely avenge Sophi

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

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
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

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
