Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 256
Snorting, Tina continued, "If Sophie and Grandma could see you now, they wouldn't feel touched or sympathy. They would only find you pretentious, and sickeningly so!"Tina's words were sharp and venomous, disregarding Henry's condition or feelings, stabbing Henry straight in the heart.Did this even compare to all the suffering Henry had put Sophie through for years?His protectiveness toward Linda meant he was accomplice to Sophie's death.And as an accomplice, he must either kill Linda herself, or he had no right to even say he regretted Sophie's death.Andy had enough and leaped in Henry's defense. "Ms. Smith! Mr. Barnes already—""Andy!" Henry snapped, cutting him short before Andy could finish.He was afraid!Tina loved Sophie and was already this hostile not knowing that it was him who had caused Sophie's death.If she knew…That was when the door to the opposite room opened, and John Levine stood there, wearing the same striped blue-white patient gown, his cheeks unusu
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 257
As Tina helped John to his room, she never once looked back at Henry.After John lay down, Tina felt his forehead's temperature and wiped off his sweat with a tissue.John watched as she did so with a tender gaze, barely hiding a grin."And you're still smiling!" Tina snorted in annoyance.John's assistant had already told her that John's fever had started daytime yesterday, and she would never have noticed if he had never mentioned it.Looking at John apologetically, she began, "I'm sorry. It's all because of me—""Tina."John promptly cut her short. "You never have to apologize to me. I have done so willingly, and I find it perfectly worthwhile."While John did not say why he found this worthwhile, Tina understood that her coming to visit was worth getting sick.Feeling a little overwhelmed as he was not hiding his feelings, Tina changed the subject. "I made soup. Would you like to have some before you sleep again?""Sure!" John quickly replied, as if he would miss out if h
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 258
Henry was left watching as Tina attended to John, waiting for the spoonful of soup each time before feeding John.Just like how she had usually taken care of him.When John inadvertently dirtied the corner of his lips, she even brought a tissue to wipe it for him.Such intimacy, as if it was only natural… Henry was left wondering—was Tina not supposed to be intimate with him only? How could she do the same with John?Could she have really stopped loving him and loved John instead?Ever since the first time Tina told Henry she was leaving him, he never believed that she had stopped loving him, no matter how determined she appeared.Because he knew better than anyone how deeply Tina was in love with him, and he always believed that she would never abandon him even if she had to abandon the world.But now, as Henry saw with his own eyes that Tina was caring for a man the way she used to care for him—and to a man who was Henry's equal, no less—Henry panicked.Tina really did not

It looked at once scrumptious, and Henry should have been very hungry since he had not eaten for a while.And yet, despite seeing all the food laid out in front of him, he could not help remembering seeing Tina feeding John yesterday.As Henry ate now, everything seemed tasteless.-After hearing that Henry was hospitalized, Stan Jackson and Eric Sandler both arrived to visit him.Once they parked their cars and headed inside, Eric eyed Stan and asked on purpose. "Has Olivia returned yet?"Olivia Garner had really spoiled Stan for years, allowing him to hurt her without qualms.Now that she was gone, just the mention of it left Stan glowering.She was not just gone—she had even blocked him!How dare she?! The audacity!She had better never come back if she could—he shall see how long she would last!Still, Stan snorted. "Who would want that broad back?"Seeing the look of nonchalant mixed with rage, Eric said pointedly, "You better not regret it!""Regret?" Stan snorted ag

Sophie could have survived!"What?" Eric was left in disbelief by Henry's outburst. "I didn't know! Linda never said a thing!"Henry had a daughter, but he had never once mentioned her name or introduced them in the five years since she was born.On the other hand, he immediately brought Linda and Rory along to meet Stan and Eric as soon as they returned to the country, and they had visited Rose Garden more than once.That was why Stan and Eric believed that Henry only cared about Linda and Rory, and since he did not care about the other daughter, neither did they.So how was Eric supposed to know Sophie was Henry's other daughter?He would have called Henry instead of listening to Linda.Knowing what had happened hurt Eric too, as he did agree to Henry's request, and there just happened to be a donor match for Rory.Linda had been there at the time, and once she knew, she was immediately begging him to give Rory the kidney instead.He refused at first, telling her that it had
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 261
Meanwhile, in Rose Garden, Linda was panicking as her calls to Andy went unanswered.This had never happened before.She had pretended to be devastated following Madam Barnes' death, even offering to help arrange funeral matters with Henry, but he refused.That was to be expected since they were not officially married, and she had no place, so she did not mind that—she really could not be bothered to help anyway, because that hag did not deserve such an honor.What Linda did not expect, however, was for Henry to not allow her to bring Rory, just because the hag despised her.That was not all—Linda had also not seen Henry since Madam Barnes' death.The funeral was over, but he never answered her calls or any of her countless texts conveying her condolences and telling him not to drown himself in his sorrows.He was not there when she went to his office looking for him, and Andy was now refusing her calls too.How could she not panic?!In the days when Henry was absent, it becam
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 262
Linda just had to pretend to be sad or vulnerable, and Henry would immediately back down."Henry…"But now, even as she played the same trump card and started to sob, Henry suddenly said, "I just met Eric Sandler."The name left Linda taken aback.Eric was one of Henry's close friends, and it was only natural they met often.But the timing and the look on Henry's face as he said it inevitably reminded Linda of Sophie.Still, she pressed her luck despite connecting the dots—Henry would not go so far as to investigate her when he trusted her unconditionally.Hence, working hard to stay calm and composed, she asked, "Oh! Then why didn't you invite him over? It's been a while since I've seen him too, and I could cook—""Aren't you curious about what he told me?" Henry demanded icily, cutting her short.After learning the truth from Eric, Henry suddenly could not recognize the calm Linda—as if she was a stranger.Orange used to be so kind that she would start stammering when she t
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 263
Linda simply cried even louder as she met Henry's glare of despair and kept shaking her head. "No! That's not it!"Sophie is your daughter—how could I think that her life doesn't matter?"But I read Sophie's file, and her condition wasn't so serious. That meant Sophie could wait, but not my Rory!"Without that kidney, Rory would definitely die—"Smack!Smack!Seeing that Henry was not softening, Linda suddenly slapped herself repeatedly while cursing herself, "I was so selfish! I deserve to die!"She was not holding back and was hitting herself forcefully, looking utterly remorseful.Soon, her cheeks were swelling visibly.Henry pursed his lips in turn.He was really furious to hear Linda say that she had really done it, but seeing her being so remorseful, he could not stop himself from catching her wrists and growling, "That's enough."His words left Linda bursting into tears. "I'm so sorry, Henry. Taking Sophie's kidney had been constantly weighing on my heart."I was con

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
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
