Chapter 314

Penulis: 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

    However, Linda was not all that confident even as she spoke, as she knew that Henry absolutely hated her now.Even so, she had to harass Tina—just seeing Tina upset made her happy.After Henry stormed out of Rose Garden last night, a security guard had to carry a wounded Rory home.And when Linda tried to call Henry, she realized that her number had been blocked and understood that Henry was really upset after last night.But he loved Rory, so he definitely would just be upset for a moment.Once he calmed down, Rory just had to play the victim card again and sweet talk him to earn his forgiveness.Linda had no doubt about that.Ever since Henry found out that Tina was the real Orange but still pampered Rory, it was clear he really loved Rory.And Sophie was dead—how was she ever going to win against Rory?As such, Rory was now Linda's pride.With Rory, she could continue to lead a life of privilege and swipe credit cards without a spending limit, as well as stay in their pres

    But what if Sophie was alive?John really wanted to ask the question but calmed down before he breathed those words, stopping himself just in time.He was still looking.He must never give Tina false hopes before he found anything definitive, because she loved Sophie very much and it would leave her devastated again.On the other hand, seeing that John suddenly trailed off, Tina asked, "What…?""Nothing. Why don't you rest on the couch and let me handle breakfast?"John smiled, ultimately saying nothing about Sophie while putting a hand on her shoulder, gently nudging her to get some rest."No, I'll help." Tina shook her head and worked with him to cook breakfast.Soon, they were done and finished breakfast together.While John headed to work, Tina went to the mall.Mrs. Smith was recovering better than expected, thanks to Yancy helping her with a special recovery plan.As such, Tina had time to buy her new clothes and a birthday present for Helen Moore, as the latter's birt

    John did not hide his selfish nature when he was around Tina.In the end, he was really not that confident in himself—not after Tina had been in love with Henry for so many years, and John himself knew all too well how difficult it was to get over a person after loving them for so long.Still, Tina knew what John was getting at. "I'll never forgive Henry Barnes for the rest of my life, nor return to his side."There is no question that Linda was the one who murdered Sophie. But without Henry's involvement, she would never have had the chance."What she did was horrible, but he's just as unforgivable."That was why she loathed Linda as much as Henry.And the way she saw it, Sophie's death would always stand between her and Henry—there was no chance for her to turn back to him in this life.Seeing the determined expression on her face, John understood that the chief reason that Tina hated Henry so much was because of Sophie's death, and she refused to forgive him.But what if Sop

    As Henry turned toward Tina, he could imagine how much despair she would have suffered that night, having to wipe blood off Sophie's gravestone.And she had loved Sophie so much that she bought that specific plot of land for Sophie's final resting place, just so that Sophie could be reborn into a better family in her next life!"Tina, can you check on the stew?" John came up with an excuse for Tina to leave, as there were more things that he did not want Tina to remember.Tina nodded quietly and entered the apartment without another look at Henry, while John shut the door as he watched.Then, turning toward Henry again, John asked, "Now, let's talk about Linda's legs. Did you know why Tina pushed her?"Henry could not even answer at that point.Just the two things mentioned earlier was more than what he could take—his heart was almost in pieces and bleeding for Sophie, and for Tina even more so.And yet, John continued, "It was all Linda. She found that Tina was severely depress

    Henry's eyes widened—that was the day… Sophie was buried?!What the hell was he doing?!He felt a chill creeping up from his toes and wobbled backward until his back hit the wall.He never thought about that, because he did not know Linda had every intention to murder Sophie.And now that John laid bare the truth before him, he remembered what he did.Rory had won third place in some jogging event at her kindergarten, and she harmonized perfectly with Linda at Rose Garden.While Rory was coaxing Henry sweetly to celebrate it for her with a grand party, Linda appeared disapproving that he was spoiling Rory, but then offhandedly mentioned they should do it on the weekend.And on the day of the party, Linda had deliberately called Tina to invite her to the party, even asking Tina to bring Sophie along since Henry had not seen Sophie for a while.At the time, Henry was completely skeptical of Sophie's death and missed Sophie since it had really been a while since he saw her.He wa

    As Henry dropped to his knees, his blood freezing up, he realized had really been harboring Sophie's murderer all along.Remorse and regret struck him everywhere all at once.He looked up at Tina, wanting very much to tell her that he did not know.If he had known that Linda had taken the kidney meant for Sophie maliciously, he would not have protected Linda even if he was still under the impression that Linda was Orange.But he also realized that it was not as if he did not have the chance to find out.It was all because of his suspicion toward Tina that he denied her any chance to speak up.Or perhaps she had already given up on him at that point.Tears were welling up in Tina's eyes as she realized what Henry meant to say.Time seemed to turn back to the day when Sophie died, and she was once again mourning Sophie.It had been over two years, but she could never get a good night's sleep at the notion that Sophie was not avenged and therefore could not rest in peace."I've

    Henry did try to force Zach to give up the alleged evidence he had against Linda and even put him through pain that only professionals could endure, let alone a normal person.But since Zach did not give up, he simply presumed that Tina bore a grudge and framed Linda, all because Linda had stolen the kidney meant for Sophie, allowing Rory to survive while Sophie died.If the truth was what Tina had claimed, however—that Rory was not even a match for the kidney transplant meant for Sophie—then that could only mean that Linda had meant to murder Sophie in the first place.Everything she said—that she loved Rory too much and did not want to lose her, and that she felt guilty from picking her own child out of selfishness… Those were all lies!On the other hand, tears were welling up in Tina's eyes as she felt as she was brought back to that day."Linda never meant to let Sophie live from the start. And she didn't just steal the kidney meant for Sophie—when Sophie's condition turned te

    Tina glared icily at Henry as she snapped, "What's the point of kneeling here?! You don't even get to apologize as long as you have yet to avenge Sophie!"Henry's burly figure clearly cringed from Tina's words.His lips parted but he had no idea what to say, because he had a hand in Sophie's death too.If he had not told Eric Sandler to prioritize Rory if there was a donor match, Linda would not have been able to steal the kidney meant for Sophie, and Sophie would be alive.Even if he did not know, he was still the reason Linda succeeded, and that made him the chief culprit of Sophie's death."Tina…" He tried to speak despite the difficulty, only to stop.However, Tina knew what he was going to say, seeing the look on his face, and was absolutely seething as she stared daggers at him. "Are you going to tell me that Linda has already suffered for it?! That she's lost her legs and now a hand—""No…."Tina's outburst certainly reminded him of the dastardly things he said to defend

    The instant Tina tapped on the notification, she found Henry kneeling outside her door, motionless.She swiped through her phone and saw that most notifications were from Henry, with the first of many being sent at three in the morning.That meant Henry had driven straight to her place after leaving Rose Garden and knelt outside her door for almost four hours.But Tina remained unaffected.Remembering the video John had sent earlier, she had a hunch that Henry was outside after he became aware of Rory's true nature.She soon tapped out of the notifications and kept chatting with John since she found herself in a good mood first thing in the morning.When John said he had yet to have breakfast, Tina could read between the lines and did not play dumb, telling him that she would cook extra portions for him when he came over.John replied: [Already on my way.]Tina could not resist a smile. [Drive safe. See you soon.]After putting down her phone, she went about her daily routine—
