Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 260
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

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
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 264
Though Linda's tears never stopped, and her tone was at once earnest, Henry said sternly, "I'll handle us. You're not allowed to go looking for Tina."He said 'not allowed' instead of 'you don't have to', because after learning the entire story, he finally understood why Tina kept saying that Linda murdered Sophie.And since Tina hated Linda to the bone, Linda would just upset Tina by showing up.Linda nodded then and continued, "I've been having trouble sleeping ever since I learned that Sophie died. I really feel so guilty… I really want to make it up to Tina…"Those words left Henry scowling. "I'll do that.""How, Henry? Is there anything I can do?" Linda asked enthusiastically, like she really wanted to make amends."I'll marry her, giving her her rightful place," Henry replied quietly.Linda was so shocked that she forgot her tears and could not bring herself to ask, "What about me?"As she kept staring at Henry with tear-filled eyes, she suddenly did not know if Henry was

Smack!Even before Henry could finish, Tina had already slapped him furiously across the face.Shaking with rage, she glared at Henry with bloodshot eyes as she bellowed, "Is that how a normal person speaks?! What is Sophie to you?!"Getting further upset as she thought about it, she slapped Henry again! How could he even say that?!To him, Sophie's death could be fixed by just having another child?! What did he take Sophie for?!"I don't mean it that way!"Henry did not stop Tina as he realized she had misunderstood and allowed her to keep slapping him as he explained, "I don't mean to replace Sophie. I just think that if we had another child, Sophie could reincarnate and be our daughter!"Henry did not believe in reincarnation, but for the first time, he hoped that it was real for Sophie's sake!If he begged at Sophie's gravestone for her to reincarnate as his daughter again, so that he had the chance to make amends, then Sophie would definitely reincarnate into Tina's bell
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 266
John had fantasized about tonight countless items—cooking together, dining together, and washing the dishes together, just like ordinary couples did.It was a simple daily routine, but he had yearned for it for years.It was merely human nature to be greedy, and while one could have been more restrained because they never had a taste, John missed Tina soon after he left because of that moment of intimacy.He was almost thirty but felt like an impulsive brat just then.He tried to stop himself too, but his hands moved faster than he could think, making a U-turn at the green light.However, when he returned to Maple Park, he saw a familiar car.It was Henry's.At that very moment, he felt very lucky that he had turned back.He promptly ran out of the car and up the stairs, not waiting for the elevator.As soon as he reached Tina's floor, he found Henry grabbing Tina, and he rushed toward the doorway, grabbing Henry's collar from behind and pulling while punching him in the face
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 267
John waited anxiously outside the counselling room, experiencing for a second time how minutes could feel like years.The first time he had felt that way was just days ago, when he had waited outside the ER after Tina tried to take her own life.Nonetheless, after Tina had gone inside for 45 minutes and 28 seconds, the door opened, and Tina's psychiatrist was standing at the doorway.John looked past her worriedly into the room, asking, "How's Tina? Is she alright?"The psychiatrist closed the door behind her and looked up at John.It had been months since Tina started visiting, and this was the first time she had brought anyone with her.She asked Tina who John was, and after hesitating a while, Tina said she was one of the two people she could trust.And seeing that she willingly allowed him to bring her here, that already showed that Tina accepted and trusted this man.Moreover, the psychiatrist really believed that Tina's condition should not be kept secret. "She's in reall

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
