Chapter 314

Author: Angelica1
Tears welled up in Tina's eyes, her hands shaking repeatedly as she took the notice of critical condition from a nurse.

It was deja vu—she was once again caught in that moment two years ago, when Sophie was rushed to the ER and the doctor issued a notice of critical condition, and her heart broke in despair.

She signed it… and Sophie was gone.

Now, Tina was afraid to take the pen held out to her at all.

Henry took it and glanced at Yancy. "Keep going."

Yancy nodded and returned inside the ER to operate on Mrs. Smith.

"She's going to be alright, Tina," Henry said quietly to comfort her again.

She used to trust that voice of his the most.

Even if she had buried that trust deep within her heart, now that her mental state was at its most vulnerable, she had to admit that Henry's voice did offer her some emotional support.

Tina bit her lip and took the pen, signing her name on the notice of critical condition with much difficulty.

As the nurse left with the notice, Tina felt like

    At the next instant, Mrs. Smith's eyes widened, and her chest heaved as she glared at Henry furiously."You…" She wanted to curse Henry for being an animal but started wheezing right after breathing one word, unable to breathe."Mom!" Tina cried out in panic before promptly turning toward Yancy. "Doctor! Quick! Help my mother!"Yancy was heading back inside the ER, and he promptly turned, his face dropping.Mrs. Smith was quickly wheeled back inside the ER right after she was wheeled out.And as the doors closed again, Tina wheeled on Henry with a vicious glare, growling through her teeth, "Get out!"Henry realized what had just happened too and did not insist on staying."Call me anytime you need my help," he said before he left.Tina never answered, glaring at Henry coldly and spitefully until he disappeared from sight.She then looked up at the red light over the door that lit up again, her eyes pained with guilt. "It's all my fault!"John put a hand around her shoulder, p

    Mrs. Smith refused to let Tina stay and watch her for the night, because Tina would not be able to get any proper rest at the hospital.Tina's health had failed terribly, especially in the year she was recovering from her depression.That was when Jimmy Jones trained her in self-defense: mixed martial arts, boxing, Taekwondo, and the like.Her physique improved, but her health did not recover that easily, and the doctors had advised her to focus on a full recovery, which could take up to five years.That was why Mrs. Smith would keep both eyes on Tina's sleep cycles—that was a basic necessity to good health."Okay." Tina nodded, knowing that staying would just worry her mother and affect her rest.Before she left, she left some instructions with Mrs. Fuller, Mrs. Smith's care worker, thanking her for staying outside the ER before she arrived earlier.She also quietly slid Mrs. Fuller a small envelope.Seeing that there was money to be had, Mrs. Fuller was immediately assuring t

    Tina had recovered from her depression, but she still suffered from poor sleep.As such, John had bought Tina many scented candles over the last six months, hoping that she would sleep tight every night."Thanks." Tina smiled as she took the box."Goodnight.""Goodnight."And with that, Tina entered her room, lighting the scented candle immediately as she entered the bedroom.It was an aroma she liked.By the time she was done bathing, her bedroom swirled with that faint aroma, and she lay in bed, sending John a photo captioned: [I really like it.]Just downstairs, John smiled as he replied: [Sleep tight.][It's late. Go home and sleep soon.]She could tell he was still there without checking.[Okay.]After he took a photo of him leaving the neighborhood, she replied: [Drive safe.][Thanks. You should sleep soon too.][Okay.]Just as Tina put down her phone, however, another text came in.The number was not in her contacts, but she recognized that it was Henry's right a

    [Be a good girl and don't piss me off.]Tina's eyes went red with rage. "You mean Henry Barnes? You're refusing to operate on my mother just because he told you otherwise?! We're talking about a person's life here! Doesn't your conscience hurt?!"Yancy pursed his lips in silence, but he could well admit that he would not operate on Mrs. Smith unless Henry said otherwise.Seeing that she could not reason with him and more words were pointless, Tina turned and left, heading downstairs and calling John."Yeah?" John answered instantly.Tina could not stop her tears as soon as she heard his voice. "Yancy Sandler's refusing to operate on my mother because Henry told him not to!""Calm down. I'm coming over right now," John assured her.He knew that Yancy was Eric Sandler's younger brother, and that Eric was basically a brother to Henry too.That should not have been a problem—that was if John never gave Henry too much credit. The man was using Mrs. Smith's life to coerce Tina into

    Henry's breath paused before turning ragged, while his gaze darkened at the sight before him.And as he was left stunned, Tina had reached for the last button off her blouse and was about to strip altogether when Henry strode up and caught her wrist."What are you doing?" he rasped.Tina narrowed his eyes coldly at him in turn, scoffing, "What are you pretending for? You've coerced me into coming to you for this—unless all you want is just a friendly chat?"Henry was stumped, but he just could not bear to see her being with another man.For two years, he had lived without knowing if she survived.But now, she had returned alive, only to make him watch her being with another man, displaying their affection for each other in every way possible.Forget watching—he could murder John Levine.She could only be his.So what if he played dirty, as long as she would know her place and return to his side?And once she did, there was no way he would hold back.But now was not the time

    Tina started hacking worriedly, and Henry's face dropped and patted her back.Tina pushed him away, however, and rushed into the washroom, coughing and throwing up.There was not much in her stomach, so there was not much vomit, but it hurt nonetheless.It took a while for it to stop, and she straightened herself to find Henry standing at the doorway, holding a warm towel in one hand and a glass of warm water in the other."Rinse your mouth," he said—there would definitely be a bad taste in her mouth from vomiting.Tina remained impassive as she took the glass, chugged it, and rinsed her mouth.Henry stepped up, wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes, and asked quietly, "Do you have to behave like this? Can't you just get along with me?"All he wanted was for things to go back to the way they were, and he would give her what she used to want, bit by bit.Tina looked up at him and spat the water in her mouth all over his face.He was suggesting that time could heal everyt

    Warm tears flowed out of the corner of her eyes along with the shower.It was autumn, but Tina stayed in the bathroom for almost until an hour, when someone knocked on the door. "Tina?"Hearing Henry's voice and knowing that he had gotten impatient, she turned off the sprinklers and wiped her face before picking up a towel to dry the rest of her body.She hastily put on some pajamas, her wet hair draped over her shoulders as she opened the door and made a beeline for the bedroom, striding past Henry without looking at him.She never saw Henry sighing in relief, as he was just worried as she had been taking too long.He entered the bedroom to find her eyes closed, lying still on the bed.Like she had resigned herself.Her breathtaking beauty no longer had that shyness and thrill he used to see.He went over and pulled her out of bed instead pinning her beneath himself.Tina kept her eyes closed, looking just like an empty shell of a body without her soul.However, her body sti

    Otherwise, Henry's trump card to control Tina and make her stay by his side would be gone.As long as she was by his side, no man would get to take her away, and she would always be his.There was no hiding the possessiveness in his eyes despite him lowering his face.Picking up a hairdryer, he started to dry her hair.It was no strange occurrence, albeit their roles were reversed—it was Tina who blew dry his hair whenever he stayed at the villa, and this was the first time he had ever done it for her.Or any woman, for that matter.Tina was clearly resistant, but before she could speak, Henry shot her a glare, telling her that she did not get to choose.Tina gave up on resisting and simply pretended that he was some hair salon assistant—that was at least better than telling herself that Henry was touching her head.Though she closed her eyes and emptied her mind, she could feel that Henry was skilled with the hairdryer.It was obvious that he often helped someone with long ha

    Jimmy had already been transferred to a ward when Tina arrived at the hospital he was in.She ran into his teammate on the way there, who was going out for a smoke in the fire escape stairs, and paused when he saw Tina.Tina was gasping as she ran all the way there and asked him gingerly, "Is Jimmy alright?"Why a traffic accident, and at this time?She did not dare to think how devastated Jimmy would be after he had worked so hard for years but still could not accomplish his dream."He's safe, but one of his wrists is thoroughly hurt," the teammate said somberly. "And the doctor is saying that it's disabled."He was like a brother to Jimmy and knew better than anyone how hard Jimmy had worked to get gold.But now, Jimmy could not even compete with his wrist disabled.Tina staggered backward at the news, the rim of her eyes reddened as tears soon covered her face.It took her a long while to stop crying and wipe the tears off her face, compose herself, and head inside.The do

    But as Rory really grew on Henry, he could see that she really thought of him as her father, and he treated her as his daughter in turn.Nonetheless, Jimmy snorted. "What does Rory Cook have to do with me? Who do you think she is? Why should I sacrifice my dreams to save her? You want me to donate my kidney to her? Not in this lifetime!" And with that, he took Tina's hand and turned to leave.As Linda saw that Henry was not stopping them, she promptly tugged on him. "Are you just going to let him go?! What about Rory?!""No." He shook his head. "Jimmy is competing by the end of the month. Stop obsessing over him—I'll get Rory another donor."Jimmy's words just reminded Henry about the tournament, and that Jimmy was not representing himself but the whole nation.Rory's life mattered, but saving her should not come at such a cost.Linda's lips twitched, as she really wanted to argue.So what if Jimmy had to give up on the tournament?It was not like he was going to win gold—eve

    Thud!Thud!Linda only bowed just three times, but she was at once dizzy and bleeding from her forehead."Linda!" Henry cried as he rushed to her side.Just as he dropped to a couch, she promptly dropped limply into his arms, blood flowing freely down her head as she rasped, "Henry… Calm down, I'm alright."Her face was covered in blood and tears—it was a gruesome sight."For Rory's sake, I won't just bow—I'm willing to die for her if I have to." Even so, she tugged feebly on Henry's arm, while continuing to prove how deeply she loved Rory as she turned to Tina. "Can you let Jimmy save Rory now? I've already bowed as you demanded…"Henry's face dropped at those words.Glowering, he gently reached down to pick up Linda from the floor, but she refused and stayed on her knees, tears covering her face as she cried, "Haven't I bowed enough? I can keep going, as long as you promise to save Rory!"Linda was ready to keep bowing as she finished, but Henry caught her, stopping her fr

    Linda did not think that Tina could completely ignore the mob's outrage, even turning the tables on her!If Linda refused to bow, that meant she did not love her daughter.Even if that was a fact, she could not let it show in front of the public!Her jaw clenching so hard she could crush her own teeth, Linda had no choice but to slide off her wheelchair with considerable difficulty, breathing, "I'm begging you, Tina."The same thing had happened two years ago, but the roles were reversed—Linda had been on her feet, while Tina had been prostrating herself and begging.Tina would never forget the day Linda threatened her with Sophie's ashes, and how it ripped her heart apart because she really thought it was Sophie.She had not hesitated to kowtow until her head bled as Linda demanded, but Linda scattered Sophie's ashes anyway.Her heart was left in pieces then.Even if she later found out that the ashes were not Sophie, her heartache and the way Linda humiliated her was never fo

    Tina and Jimmy were just leaving the hospital when a figure steered her wheelchair toward them, grabbing Tina's hand as everyone watched, crying and begging, "Please, Tina, I'm begging you—you have to help Rory!"She's dying, and she'll be dead without your friend's kidney!"She's only seven! She's just a child—please, take pity on her! Don't be so cold-blooded and stop your friend from donating his kidney! A feud between adults shouldn't hurt the kids! Rory is innocent!"Linda was smart—she actually mentioned that they had a feud.And for most people, whenever they thought of a feud between two women, they would immediately presume it was a love triangle—that the women were after the same man.That was why Linda would take the moral high ground and coerce Tina into relenting through emotional blackmail.Still, Jimmy himself pried Linda's fingers off even before Tina spoke. "Don't touch Tina with your filthy hands, and quit your slander! I'm the one who's refusing to donate my ow

    "I didn't want to worry you, but I really wanted you to visit."Mommy told me not to catch a cold, but I sneaked out because you never came."I'm sorry, Daddy. I know you're busy and can't visit all the time, but I just…"Rory trailed off, barely catching her breath.Just watching that left Henry's heart bleeding and unable to scold her at all. "It's my fault I shouldn't have left the hospital—I'll try to stay with you as much as I can from now on, okay?"Rory shook her head. "It's alright, Daddy. I know you're busy—but just visit when you have time, okay?"In contrast to her capricious nature when she was five and always bugging Henry to keep her company, Rory appeared even more mature now.Henry smiled and nodded. "Okay. Just be good, Rory—close your eyes and sleep. Leave the rest to Daddy, okay?"Rory nodded, leveling a worshipful gaze at Henry with her clear, innocent gaze, having complete faith in him as he said, "I believe you, Daddy. You're my hero—you'll save me, right?

    Henry sped all the way to the hospital and arrived outside the emergency room to find Linda covered in tears in her wheelchair.Her tears gushed even more when she saw him and called out to him helplessly, "Henry…"Henry went up to her, his expression worried. "She was fine this afternoon, wasn't she? Why is she suddenly in critical condition?""I-I don't know… She was just fine before she slept… then, she suddenly had a fever and a low heart rate… I quickly called the doctor, and he said she's in critical condition and asked me to sign the notice…"I didn't… I… I'm afraid Rory will die… I….""Rory's going to be fine."Seeing that Linda was spouting nonsense, Henry patted her back to calm her down, but his eyes were worried even as he stared at the doors of the emergency room.He was really worried that Rory would die too.He did not want to lose Rory too after losing Sophie.And Linda seized the moment to sneak into his arms…-There was no telling how long had passed when

    After all, Linda was really worried that Rory might die."I told Jimmy Jones," Henry admitted."Why?!" Linda cried out in disbelief. "We agreed not to tell Tina, didn't we?! Why did you tell her?! What is Rory going to do, now that Jimmy is refusing to donate to her?! Do we just watch her die?!""I won't let anything happen to Rory," Henry replied quietly. "Don't worry—I've sent my people on a nationwide search for a suitable donor. Rory is going to be fine."However, Henry's promise did not calm Linda down at all.But no matter how upset she was with his decision, she did not dare to let it show and fought back the frustration burning within her."I trust you, Henry," she sobbed, sounding helpless as if she was completely reliant on him.Henry then offered a few more words of comfort and told Linda not to tell Rory—she was seven and knew enough about death now, and he was worried that it would worsen her condition."Don't worry. I'll keep it a secret," Linda replied.Once Hen

    Personally, Henry hoped that Tina would not extend their feud as adults to Rory.But if Tina decided to go through with it and stop Jimmy from donating, Henry decided that he would not push her either.There was still time, and Henry would be doing everything he could to get a suitable donor.To no surprise, his words left both Tina and Jimmy's faces dropping, with Jimmy throwing the pen as far as he could in disgust.He had almost donated his kidney to the daughter of the woman who murdered Sophie!Hell, he could consider donating to Rory if Rory was innocent and Linda was the only rotten one there.But Rory had already learned to frame Sophie even when Rory herself was just a child, hurting Sophie repeatedly.That apple was really rotten to the core, and Jimmy was no saint who would save someone so undeserving at the price of his own health."Donating to Rory Cook?! Not in your lifetime!" Jimmy bellowed as he picked up the papers and tore it into shreds.Then, he took Tina's
