Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 324
Rory was really terrified.Henry patted her tiny head and took Linda's temperature with a thermometer.102.5.Linda seemed to sense him, however, and though she was muddled from her fever, she reached out to take his hand. "Henry…" Her voice choked with tears but also stank of alcohol.She had clearly been drinking.Henry's gaze darkened as he watched her in that state. "I'm here.""Please don't leave me. I can't live without you," Linda said, tears of grief rolling out the corner of her eyes. "I don't want to be apart from you. You promised to marry me and me alone… How could you lie to me?"She would never give up on Henry and let Tina win!And yet, her words failed to make Henry retract what he said.Linda had deliberately made herself sick, but the high fever was still terrible.Her tears welling up in her eyes, she gripped Henry's hand and sobbed even more miserably. "Ice, please don't leave Orange, okay?"Being called Ice struck Henry straight in the heart, and his g
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 325
Tina was not bothered to wonder why Henry did not touch her last night, and she promptly got out of bed, changed her clothes, and left.She quickly left the building and the block, whipping out her phone to book a cab.She wanted to leave Henry's home as soon as she could, not noticing that her phone was turned off when she threw it in her bag.As soon as she turned on her phone, an unfamiliar number called, but she quickly declined it and tapped on the app to book a cab.However, as she left the block and had yet to book a cab, a familiar Maybach stopped in front of her.As John alighted, Tina was left stunned, not expecting him to be waiting outside.And seeing the dark circles under his beady eyes, it was clear that he did not sleep the entire night.Consumed by guilt right then, she breathed, "I'm sorry, John."She never confirmed her relationship with him.In her heart, she was an important person to him, but it was all platonic.It was not as if she was still hung up on
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 326
That was why Tina was not repulsed and would not refuse if John stood close, hugged her, or held her hand.But if he tried to go further, he would clearly sense resistance.She did too, and it was not for lack of trying amid a romantic atmosphere.She would suddenly freeze up, their naturally amicable connection suddenly gone.John knew that she would not refuse even if he actually kissed her, but he could not bear to force her against her will, not even a tiny bit.That was why he stopped, retreated to a distance he was comfortable with, and did not take another step forward.He was willing to wait.And hearing John's question, Tina asked herself if she liked John.She did, but not in the way he wanted.She had been passionately in love with Henry, obsessing over him in body and spirit.Because of that, she knew that she did not love John.Or at least not now."Let it grow." John smiled. "One day, you'll fall for me."He did not press her further and released her, helping
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 327
John clearly felt Tina trembling behind himself, but from rage.She was hurting as much as she loathed Henry and him coercing her.John's eyes ached, and as soon as he felt Tina pulling her hand out of his grasp, he held on firmly and said, "Don't go. Leave this to me—I'll make sure that your mother is safe."He was really worried that Henry's coercion would cause Tina's depression to relapse.The rim of Tina's eyes reddened as she glanced at John, her gaze clearly helpless.She had no idea how to win, when Henry's power was crashing down on her with the weight of a mountain.She did not think that Henry would keep hounding her when she returned to Jadelight—over the last two years, she had seen too many reports of Henry and Linda going strong.She thought what little of his possessiveness would be gone, only for him to prove himself utterly despicable."Trust me."That was when John turned toward her with a warm, assuring gaze.Tina could not help holding his hand firmly in
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 328
Mrs. Levine?John's mother?As Tina never confirmed her relationship with John, she did not visit the Levines upon her return to Jadelight.Now that Mrs. Levine was asking to see her, she could not refuse, as John had been very kind to her.She texted John before she got into the car, and they arrived outside a pretty teahouse twenty minutes later.Tina followed the butler inside, into the very end of the hallway swirling with the aroma of tea leaves.The butler knocked on the door, and a melodious voice spoke, "Come in."The butler opened the door and greeted the person inside. "Ma'am."Then, he stood aside, allowing Tina to enter.As she did, she found an attractive woman who had John's eyes sitting by the window, eyeing her before saying, "Sit, Ms. Smith."Her tone was at once distant, and it told Tina more or less about Mrs. Levine's opinion of her.Still, she went over and took a seat, nodding politely. "Hello, Mrs. Levine."Satisfied that Tina knew her place with that
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 329
Mrs. Levine paused before adding, "This isn't between you, John, and Henry Barnes. This is about the Levines and the Barnes."John isn't just one person—he's the head of the family who shoulders all our fates. I don't care what he does for you, but if he's going to sacrifice the whole family…"The whole family?Tina was stunned.All John had told her was not to worry, because he would stop Henry from interfering with Mrs. Smith's surgery.She knew about John sabotaging Henry's project, and he told her that things were going well.She never suspected John to lie, only for Mrs. Levine to suggest otherwise.It was also true that Henry was a ruthless businessman and never backed down easily, and that the Barnes family was superior over the Levines in the first place.If a fight really broke out, all John would get at best was a Pyrrhic victory.And Tina could not make John sacrifice the Levines for her sake.Her face was pale, as she realized that she had been too worried about h

It was Henry's car.The window was lowered, revealing his handsome face.He looked past John at Tina and breathed, "Get in."As Tina looked up at his triumphant smile, her frustrations could consume her right then.Her eyes flaring in rage, she flung her bag at him through the window, wishing that he would die that instant.So many people died every year—why could it not be Henry?However, Henry snatched the bag out of the air, calmly putting it aside and even getting out to open the door for her.Tina turned to leave instead—every second of his absence she could get counted, as she hated him the most.A cab arrived, and she got in.Seeing that from the rearview mirror, Henry closed the door, ready to turn his car around and give chase when another car crashed into him.It was John, whose car was parked by the road.He could tell that Tina needed time to calm down, but seeing that Henry was going to give chase, he floored the gas pedal and crashed his car into Henry's, rammi

Jimmy bellowed at Henry, "Don't you lay a finger on Tina!"He had no right!Jimmy had hurried to Tina when she called him two years ago—she had slit her wrists for the first time as her depression struck.It was only then that Jimmy found out the truth about Sophie's death, and like Tina, he came to loathe Henry and Linda to the bone.At the same time, his heart bled for Tina having to suffer everything and ultimately being forced into crippling depression by those two.And when Tina finally pulled herself together when she was reunited with Mrs. Smith, Henry had to show up again, now using Mrs. Smith's illness to coerce Tina.He should die a thousand times over!As grudges old and new came together, Jimmy could not stop himself despite promising Tina that he would not be rash.He was ready to smash the bottle on Henry's head to kill him.However, Henry was quick, sidestepping before the bottle landed and blocking it with his hand.The bottle smashed on his wrist, the glass c

Tina glared viciously at Henry, who was pig-brained whenever Linda was concerned. "That pendant was never Linda's! She got it from someone else! You had the wrong person from the start!"If it was not for her mother, Madam Barnes, and Sophie's sake, she would not even bother talking to Henry, as she did not want him to keep protecting Linda mindlessly because he thought she was her savior.Otherwise, he could treat Linda as whoever he thought she was—she would not care!Henry stared at Tina in turn, asking before he knew it, "If Linda isn't Orange, then who is?"That was when Linda suddenly appeared at the doorway, crying out tearfully before Tina could speak, "Tina! What do I have to do for you to stop?!"You paid off Zach Foster to try to turn Henry against me! Now that it has gone south, you're lying to Henry that I'm not Orange! What do you want from me?!"And I'm not Orange, you say? Then who's Orange? You?!"However, Tina's eyes flared with irrational hatred the instant Li

Henry's eyes widened, unable to believe what he was hearing.It was Linda? How could it be so?!On the other hand, Mrs. Fuller could not help cringing from the cold air that seemed to spill from Henry.There was no turning back now that she already betrayed Linda, and she was genuinely terrified of Henry. As such, she decided to turn to Tina, who, between the two, was much more agreeable.She really did not want to end up in prison, and hence started begging, "Please, Ms. Smith—I'll tell you everything I know, just don't call the cops on me."Trust me—I never wanted to hurt your mother… But Linda Cook paid me so much, and I was tricked into doing such a thing."I have a big family with many mouths to feed… they're all hopeless without me. And you're so kind—you're not going to destroy my family, right?"Mrs. Fuller could have spent the money for her son's future, and then assumed a new identity to keep working.But now that she was exposed, she thought she could bank on Tina'
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 418
"Argh!!!"Mrs. Fuller could feel her collarbone breaking, and the agony left her face contorting!At that moment, she realized that Tina and Henry might have noticed something.But that should not be possible!She made sure the hallways were clear and even closed the curtains just in case.No one should have known!Still, even as Mrs. Fuller panicked, she told herself to stay calm.That was when Tina pulled out the IV drip needle and got out of bed."Tina!"Henry noticed that right away and turned to hold her down by her shoulder. "Just leave this to me. I'll make sure she suffers."She was too weak now, after all.However, Tina shook his hand off and strode toward Mrs. Fuller.Henry frowned but did not stop her since she was insistent, staying behind her while keeping a close eye on her.Mrs. Fuller was naturally relieved that it was Tina, who was definitely more agreeable between her and Henry.Henry was so scary that just one look made Mrs. Fuller think she was going t
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 417
However, Mrs. Fuller soon composed herself and leveled a wounded look at Tina."If you think it's my fault that this happened to Mrs. Smith, then I quit!" she snapped, tears welling up in her eyes as she complained, looking utterly aggrieved. "I believe I've done everything I could to take good care of your mother and have never once slacked. She has been good to me and treated me like her sister."I know that Mrs. Smith had an accident while I was away, and you held it against me. That was my negligence, and I'm sorry because I shouldn't have left her alone."But you can't blame her for going to shock me over one instance of negligence. You have no evidence and yet you still suspect me! You're breaking my heart!"However, Tina's question was just probing at best.There were just too many coincidences—Mrs. Smith first had an accident, and then went into shock in the half hour when she was gone.But it would all make sense if this was all done on purpose.And if it was, then Mrs.
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 416
Mrs. Fuller had heard rumors of her colleagues doing the same thing, with none being the wiser.So she could not help being interested—and did it.She was supposed to take Mrs. Smith's life right then and there and was surprised by a nurse who came in doing her rounds.Hearing the nurse come in, Mrs. Fuller promptly reattached Mrs. Smith's oxygen tube and hurried off to a corner to look busy. Mrs. Smith had already gone into shock by then, and the nurse immediately noticed that something was wrong.Mrs. Fuller played along, feigning panic when the nurse pressed the call button.Everything went smoothly—even if Mrs. Smith survived, she was in a vegetative state and was no different from dead.Just the thought that she would soon get 500 grand left Mrs. Fuller's hands shaking in excitement. [She's not dead, but she's in a vegetative state. Dr. Sandler even told Ms. Smith to prepare for the worst, so she might be gone before long anyway.]Linda could not help smiling smugly whe
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 415
Yancy was himself on the way to the hospital when he called Henry, and his expression was somber as he hung up.Even as he sped toward the hospital, he was left wondering how Mrs. Smith suddenly went into shock, when her condition was clearly stabilizing?She was already weak after a major surgery, and the shock came with terrible timing.If they could not save her in time, she would die.And even if they did, she might remain comatose, staying in a vegetative state.Even as the thought crossed Yancy's mind, he floored the gas pedal again.Every second counted for such medical crises, and just being early by one minute might make all the difference.And Yancy prayed that Mrs. Smith would be fine.-Tina was pale as she stood outside the doors of the emergency room.She and Jimmy were going to take turns taking care of Mrs. Smith, as there was no reason for two people to stay with her at the same time.As such, Tina told Jimmy to go home to rest and come tomorrow so they coul

On the other hand, Linda felt gleeful about it too.Sophie was six feet under but had never once experienced such fatherly love from Henry.It all went to Rory instead.Smart as ever, Rory called out to Linda just then, "Mommy." Linda hurried over as Rory held out a hand while she remained in Henry's arms.Linda quickly grasped Rory's hand and used that as an excuse to move beside Henry, even pressing herself against him.Her spirits soared as she inhaled that mature masculine scent of his.How could she ever let go of his man?No matter what happened, she would never let Henry find out that Tina was Orange.Henry was hers and hers alone!As Linda subtly pressed herself closer to Henry, they looked just like a blissful family of three in the distance.Still, she had to get up when the specialist Henry recruited hurried over, and Henry told Rory to lie down.After the specialists took turns to examine Rory, Henry went with them to the office to speak about her condition in
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 413
Hearing that there was evidence, Tina's spirit soared.After countless attempts on her own life and pulling herself together, she told herself repeatedly that she must be patient—that she must not break before she avenged Sophie.That she must never rush things and always be calm, and never let Henry or Linda get to her.However, how could she not get impatient?Linda had murdered her baby, and her hatred for Linda cut deep into her bones.Even in her dreams, she wanted justice for Sophie.But now, knowing that Linda was a fraud all along, Tina could not wait to get her hands on the evidence and rip off Linda's mask of lies as Henry watched!"Where's the evidence, Mom?" Tina pressed urgently.Beside Mrs. Smith's bed, Mrs. Fuller leaned closer when Mrs. Smith said there was evidence.Mrs. Smith's voice was too soft for her to catch, and Jimmy and Tina were both too focused on Mrs. Smith to notice what she was doing anyway.However, just before Mrs. Smith could tell Tina where
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 412
Crash!However, just as Mrs. Smith finished, Mrs. Fuller suddenly staggered and knocked over a bedside lamp.It shattered loudly on the floor, drowning out Mrs. Smith's already enfeebled voice."I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Mrs. Fuller apologized repeatedly as she dropped down to pick up the pieces, and no one paid attention to that minor distraction after.Still, Henry missed what Mrs. Smith said and was about to ask what it was when Linda grabbed his arm and caught his attention. "Please, Henry—Tina's mother's surgery was a success. She can wait, but Rory can't."She's really in terrible danger—anything else can wait. Can't you go to Rory now?"Linda's tears poured as she pleaded miserably, as all she wanted was to get Henry away from this place.Once she did, she would use Rory to buy even more time while she came up with a plan.Henry had to agree that Linda was right—there was a priority to things.Mrs. Smith's surgery was a success, and she had already passed her risk period—t
