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

Tina looked like she had completely recovered, even smiling at John. "Sorry, I must have given you a fright."However, that smile only left John's chest tightening.Still, he did not say much and patted her head before taking her hand, which felt cold to the touch.Caught by surprise, Tina stared at their hands for seconds but did not pull away.Her heart felt so cold that she yearned a little for such warmth."Thank you, Dr. Urban," she said. "I'm going now."Nancy Urban nodded. "Call me anytime.""Okay." Tina nodded and left with John.Nancy watched them leave before returning to her office.When she was gone, Linda stepped out from behind the hallway, with Nancy's words ringing in her mind.Now, Linda was sure that Tina was chronically depressed, to the point that further shock could drive her to suicide.Linda sneered sinsitertly—her focus was on the word 'suicide', just as she would love to see how Henry was going to make amends to a dead person.Henry could only be he
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 269
John stood beside her, watching with a tenderness that seemed to melt.But more than that, he felt pained for her.He did not tell Tina that when he had sent his people to investigate the kidney meant for Sophie, someone had deliberately erased every piece of related information.And the one person who could do that was Henry, and no one else.That meant Henry wanted to protect Linda, no matter what it took.Meanwhile, Tina kept firing arrows until she was almost exhausted.Still, it somewhat cheered her up.Seeing that it was almost eleven, she said, "It's late. We should go.""Yeah." John took her hand again, and they left the indoor amusement park.As they returned to the car and he helped her with her seatbelt, he felt worried as he saw that the gloom did not fade from her eyes completely.Worried about leaving her by herself, he asked softly, "Why don't we go to my place?""What?"Tina turned sharply toward him, clearly shocked.John realized right away how ambiguous

Henry stubbornly pressed, "Answer me. Did you say yes?"Tina was tired from punching and kicking and was left panting with her back against the door.There was the faint scent of blood in the air, as she ruptured the scalpel wounds she had left on him before.But Henry did not care and kept asking, "Answer me, Tina.""Yes!" Tina snapped icily. "Listen close and listen well—we're never getting back together, because I'll go out with anyone but you! Now get out of my house!"She really did not want to entertain his nutcase tendencies, but he was clearly not going to give up.And she was already exhausted from hitting him.But even if she was unsure that she would end up with John, she was dead sure that she would not get back together with Henry, not when he had indirectly murdered Sophie!And her cold glare left Henry's heart breaking, as it did everytime she looked at him that way after he found out he was Orange.How could his Orange look at him like that?"No, you can't get
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 489
Tina was clearly in a bad mood because Henry showed up at the graveyard.Understanding as ever, John never asked her again when he took her home.However, she did not get out of his car right away and stared at John as if she had plenty to say.She knew that he was good to her, but she did not have the courage to love again after how tragically things ended with Henry.It really was once bitten twice shy, what with all the sacrifices she made."Don't worry about it. I was just too impatient—I'll wait as long as you need," John told her.He had already waited for so long anyway."John…" Tina sighed—the nicer he was to her, the more it hurt her.John shook his head and undid her seatbelt. "Just get some rest. Don't worry about it."Tina gave in and got out, and he went upstairs with her, watching her shut the door before leaving.Inside, Tina's mind was a mess as she leaned against the door.She never thought of starting a relationship over the last two years, and she was unsu

Sophie did not need such fatherly love given out of charity!However, Henry did not take offense with Tina's cool attitude and put the gifts he brought in front of Sophie's grave. "I bought these for Sophie.""She doesn't need them," Tina snapped as she threw everything Henry brought away. "Give it off to your dear Rory—don't disgust Sophie."Henry pursed his lips as everything he picked was strewn all over the place.He knew that Tina despised Rory and did his best to avoid being seen with Rory but ran into Tina tonight anyway.And John was firmly on Tina's side. "You don't have to worry about Sophie, Mr. Barnes—I'll buy anything she likes.""Don't bother. Sophie's my daughter." Henry scowled, as John was ready to be Sophie's stepfather."So you're aware of that fact?" John scoffed, barely hiding his sarcasm. "Anyone who didn't know better would think that Rory is really your daughter!"He certainly found out how much Sophie had suffered because of Rory after what happened at
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 487
Once she saw how much the assistant was bringing, Rory's eyes lit up as she rushed over, exclaiming in delight, "Are these all for me, Daddy? I love them! Thank you! You're the best!"She was really happy.Just as she thought, she held first place in Henry's heart—she had not even picked anything, and he had already picked so many expensive, pretty gifts.She could already imagine the envious looks on her classmates' faces when she showed them.That was when Henry said, "These are for Sophie. Pick anything else—anything you like."He had already told Rory before they entered the toy shop—she could pick whatever she liked, and he would buy it for her, but whatever he picked was for Sophie.He really had no idea what else he could do for Sophie aside from this.Over the last two years, he bought a ton of stuff—some were kept in the villa, while the others were taken to Sophie's grave.He owed Sophie so much in life that he had even less idea what he could do to make things right
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 486
However, Rory had no idea what she should say to stop Henry from checking the cameras and could not respond in any other way aside from panic."Yes, Mr. Barnes…" The store owner recognized Henry since it was not his first time there and called for an assistant to get the security footage.However, the assistant appeared exasperated when she was told which area it was.Glancing at the owner and noticing Henry's menacing glare, she braced herself as she said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Barnes… Those cameras were broken two days ago."While Henry frowned at those words, John did not expect such an outcome either. But without the security footage, more words were pointless, so he merely shot Rory a cool glare before taking Tina's hand and strode out.Henry glared at their linked hands, the air turning cold around him as the assistant and the owner stood nearby in quiet fearful silence.On the other hand, Rory was clearly relieved when told that there was no footage—she almost had a heart at
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 485
Staying patient, Henry said, "I had that princess gown tailor made for Sophie back then, but Rory mistakenly thought it was meant for her and wore it. The one I brought to Maple Park was a different one—I had the tailor make another, and it wasn't the one Rory had worn."He explained all that, hoping to set the record straight, though his tone soon changed. "Rory's just a child, Tina. No matter how upset you are, you shouldn't lay a finger on her."John's visage turned cold. "Before you accuse Tina, why don't you ask Rory what she said that Tina had to go that far?"Henry turned toward Tina right then—was it not because of the doll?Tina had already despised Rory because of Sophie's gown, and he understood that Tina would not like Rory because of Linda.But John was saying that there was a different story?Henry looked downward at Rory and asked, "What did you say?"As Rory knew Henry had always believed that she was an honest child, Rory leveled him a look of grief. "I didn't s

Rory glowered.Tina dared to hit her?! She would show Tina!Just like whenever Sophie had upset her when she was still alive, Rory always had a way to make Henry hate Sophie even more!With that in mind, she burst into tears. "Argh!!! Daddy…"She was so loud that Henry heard her all the way at the cashier, and his face dropped as he turned toward her call.Still, his eyes lit up when she saw Tina.However, he soon saw John standing so close beside Tina that their shoulders were touching, and his eyes narrowed coldly, his stomach squirming uneasily.That was not the proper social distance between men and women, but Tina was clearly not uncomfortable.That could only mean that she could accept John being so close.And Henry strode toward them before he knew it, ready to split them up."Daddy…"Once he was near enough, Rory turned and threw herself into his arms, as she was the first to notice his arrival.As she wrapped her arms around his waist, she looked up to show him her
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 483
Tina's expression darkened upon seeing Rory, whom she despised so much. "Give it back!" she snapped coolly, holding out her hand.Rory promptly hid the doll behind herself, her eyes gleeful as she giggled, "Why should I? You didn't pay for it. I'll get Daddy to pay for it right now! You know that my daddy will always give me anything I want. Who do you think you are, trying to take my stuff?"She even imitated Linda's mannerisms just to upset Tina, putting emphasis on 'my daddy' just to rub it into her face.It was something she had always prided herself with.So what if Sophie had Henry's blood? She would always be more important to Henry than Sophie.Sophie would never win against her!That was when John just bought the drinks and saw Rory snatching the doll from Tina outside the toy shop, even spouting those nonsensical words.He strode up, growling darkly, "Didn't your mother teach you about 'first come, first served'? Give it back!"He really would not have argued with a
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 482
And seeing how sad Tina was, John felt doubt—should he really tell Tina that he had seen a girl that really resembled Sophie abroad?Even if he was just driving past the young girl, he was very sure that the girl's face was identical with Sophie's from photos two years ago, albeit with a larger face and without that silly sweet smile she used to have.She was in another car, but her gaze was colder than what one would expect of a child around seven.After that encounter, John sent everyone he had to look but failed to find the girl again.But he found nothing, so John thought it inappropriate to tell Tina recklessly.With hope came disappointment, and with disappointment came more pain.He could just keep looking on his own and then tell Tina later.And caught in her own misery, Tina never noticed the twitch in John's eyes.Even after the movie was over and she calmed down, her eyes were still red.John held her hand and led her outside, and he noticed that her hands were cold
