Chapter 341

Author: Angelica1
To no surprise, Linda found Rory's door ajar.

Zach did not just visit Rory first—he was even staying in Rory's room for a long while, and it upset Linda that she was not his top priority.

She scowled as she steered her wheelchair inside, snapping, "Zach!"

Every time Zach came to visit, Linda would spike Rory's milk, sedating her until morning came.

That was why Rory would not wake up, let alone be aware of their indulgences, as Linda would never let Rory know about her and Zach.

And after Linda snapped, she waited by the door for Zach to come over and fawn all over her.

But to her shock, Zach ignored her, all his attention focused on Rory.

Linda's expression turned cold—Rory would not exist without her!

And Rory was just leverage she held against Zach—how could she let said leverage supplant her?!

Linda promptly steered her wheelchair, zipping toward Rory's bed, and snapped, "I'm talking to you, Zach! Don't you hear me?! Don't you care about me?"

Zach suddenly wheeled on her

    Zach had always believed that Linda loved Rory and spoiled her to bits.However, Linda's eyes were immediately red as she promptly denied it. "What are you talking about? Why would I hurt Rory? She's our daughter! I absolutely love her!"After all, she avoided prying eyes whenever she abused Rory—definitely no one knew.At the next instant, as she turned toward Rory, she threw herself by Rory's bed and gasped, "Rory! How could this be?! Why is she covered in so many wounds?! Oh, Rory… My baby!"Her tears were gushing, and her gaze appeared pained even as she looked at Rory, while her hands were hovering above Rory as if she did not know where to put them.At the same time, she continued, "It must have been her teacher… I'll ask Rory when she wakes up tomorrow! I'll definitely have someone answer for this! Whoever it is, I'll kill them once I find them!"Linda was so good at pretending that she immediately had Zach convinced, as her heartache did not look fake to him.Could it be

    The rim of Linda's eyes reddened as Zach kept pressuring her. "What do you want me to say? You're already pinning the blame on me already, aren't you?"As she finished, tears rolled down her cheeks.Even though she was not arguing her case, she was leveling Zach a look of grief, leaving him heartbroken right then.His sentiment kicked in quicker than his rationality, and he reached out to wipe away her tears.And when he did, Lidna threw herself in his arms, holding his waist and hiding her face against his abs, nuzzling her lips ever so gently."Zach."Linda's voice was very sweet—she knew how much Zach loved her.Sensing his body stiffening, her eyes flashed in glee. But when she looked up at him, her eyes were filled with a crystalline tenderness. "I don't want to drug Rory, but she's very clingy and comes to my room every night."Every time you come, we end up going at it until the morning."I have to keep her asleep until morning, not because I'm worried she'd see… bu

    Zach's kiss left Linda's insides churning, as she could feel how threatening it was.If she did not do as he said, he would definitely go to Henry and run his mouth.Nonetheless, Zach turned to tuck Rory under her blanket, stroking her cheek before leaning in to kiss her forehead.Then, he took a long look at Linda before leaving.Linda listened to his footsteps fade, her fingers clenched over her wheelchair.That man who used to listen to her every whim was now coercing her for Rory?!Furious, she pinched Rory's waist repeatedly.-Tina sat in John's car, watching as a despondent Zach left Rose Garden.They traded glances—they had no idea what Linda and Zach said to each other, but judging from Zach's reaction, it was definitely not pleasant."My people will follow him," John told Tina.Tina nodded—she was just hoping that Zach would push Linda enough to hurt him in turn.She had no evidence to prove Linda was behind Sophie and Madam Barnes' death.But now that Henry's pe

    Before John's lips touched Tina's, someone struck the car window audibly.Startled, John paused and looked up to see Henry scowling at him.Tina was woken up too and opened her eyes to see what it was.Seeing Henry's furious glare from behind the window, her sleepiness faded right away."You should head home soon, John," she said, calmly returning John's suit.She meant that John did not have to stay nor bother about her being with HenryWith those words, she alighted and smiled at John, beckoning for him to leave.Once she closed the door, she strode in without even looking at Henry."What were you doing?" Henry pulled up alongside her, casting a searching glance on her face.Tina did not want to entertain him—she was tired and only wanted a bath and rest.But Henry was not about to spare her and pinned her against the door as soon as they were inside, holding her chin and suddenly leaning in for a kiss.Tina turned her head aside, and his lips only brushed past hers, landi

    Henry sighed. "You've already given in. Why torment yourself? Just follow your heart, and we can start over. What's wrong with that?"She used to like it—relish in it.As long as she was willing, he would do anything he could to make amends too, for what he owed her and Sophie."Heh."Tina snorted coldly. Start over? Henry was really hilarious—so Sophie's life was that insignificant to him?-Linda could not sleep the whole night in Rose Garden.When evening arrived the next day, she called Zach, "Come over. I'm waiting."It was the first time Zach would be going to Linda's house during the day, but he put on a disguise out of habit, putting on a maintenance worker uniform before heading into Linda's house.After Mrs. Long had gotten paid after ratting Linda out for abusing Rory, she never returned to Rose Garden.Her absence basically told Linda who had ratted her out to Zach.Still, Seeing Zach enter, she called out sweetly, "Zach!"He was not wagging his tail like a

    At the same time, Linda cried out shrilly in despair, "Stop! No! Don't touch me! Let go of me!"However, Zach was just getting started and never heard the door open, let alone sensed that Henry came in.He never questioned Linda's sudden resistance and screaming, only presuming that she was getting into character.So he played along, pinning her down like an aggressor, faking violence while laughing viciously, "Scream! Scream louder, it'll just excite me more! Let's see who's going to help you now that I have you!"He was getting so into character that he never noticed Linda's smug smile. She suddenly cried, "Help me, Henry!"Zach paused, thinking that he had misheard right then.However, at the very next moment, he felt a force seizing him by the neck and pulling him.The man was so strong that he lifted Zach despite his six-foot frame, and even before Zach could react, he was kicked viciously in the chest.The kick left him stumbling backward, losing his balance and collapsin

    If Henry was really convinced that Zach had forced himself on Linda, he would have Zach thrown in prison and made sure that Zach got a life sentence.Although Zach had willingly taken the prison sentence for Linda and Rory's sake two years ago, that was because he loved Linda and was convinced that Linda loved Rory as much as he did—that she loved and would take good care of their daughter.That was why he was comfortable letting Linda take care of Rory.But now, he knew that Linda was actually abusing Rory.He remembered the needle holes and the bruising across Rory's body, and how Mrs. Long described Rory leaving Linda's room with swollen cheeks, as well as the video where Rory was left freezing out there.But all he had seen was likely just the tip of the iceberg.Without him watching, who knew how much abuse Rory would suffer at the hands of Linda.And Zach could not bear to see his baby girl being hurt.That was why he could not go to jail again.He would reclaim Rory and

    Linda was slightly stunned by Henry's question as she turned toward him in disbelief, grief showing all over her face and her tone wounded. "Henry…"However, Zach was stunned too.Because he did not have evidence.Linda had always been careful about that—forget photos, she would tell him to delete their call logs after every single phone call, even though they were calling each other on burner phones.There was no way he could prove that Linda had called him here!He used to think nothing of it—being careful was right, as it stopped Henry from catching on that they were basically having him raise their daughter.Moreover, Linda kept telling him how much she loved him, and he never suspected that she was just worried that he would keep evidence of their affair.And seeing that Zach could not show evidence, Henry glowered.How dare Zach mislead him into doubting Linda!He raised his foot and launched another kick at Zach, even more vicious this time.As Zach was left coughing b

    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

    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

    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

    Looking Henry straight in the eye, Linda seemed not to notice his hostility at all.Her fingers clenching on her wheelchair, she threw herself toward Henry without an ounce of self-regard. "Please, Henry. You have to save Rory…"Henry did not expect that and could not catch her in time, leaving her collapsing in front of Mrs. Smith's bed."Linda!"As Henry came to his senses and went up to Linda, she seized the moment to wrap her arms around him, looking at him with a face covered in tears of misery and despair. "Please, Henry. You have to save Rory!"Henry's face dropped as he finally heard what Linda was saying.Scooping Linda off the ground and putting her into her wheelchair, he asked nervously, "What happened to Rory?"Linda kept clinging to him as she choked with tears. "Rory is suffering from kidney transplant rejection… the doctor said it's very serious…"She's very scared… she's crying, saying she wants to see you… but you won't answer my calls!"I know Tina doesn't w

    Henry had not fallen asleep for long when Jimmy rudely shook him awake.He was a light sleeper, and as he jolted awake right away and opened his eyes, he leveled a clearly hostile glare at Jimmy.Jimmy met his glare unflinching, even snapping coolly, "My godmother wants to see you."Henry's hostility faded right away at those words.Jimmy's godmother was obviously Tina's mother, and for some reason, she was asking to see him.Henry promptly got up, but he moved too quickly and his head started spinning.He leaned against his bed on one hand, pushing himself up slowly.He headed to the washroom first, cleaning up at top speed before putting on a suit and heading to the opposite room."Mrs. Smith."As he entered, he greeted Tina's mother humbly, without poising himself with superiority.Mrs. Smith knew she should not feel agitated when her surgery was so recent.In fact, she took her time composing herself before Henry came over and was much calmer when she saw him this time.

    Yancy had been sleeping in his office too and never left the hospital, leaving express instructions for the nurses to call him as soon as Mrs. Smith woke up.As he hurried over, he quickly examined Mrs. Smith, while Tina stood by her bed looking utterly worried.When Yancy was finally done, Tina quickly asked, "How's my mother?""She's cleared the risk period—she's stable now." Yancy nodded at her, utterly relieved as well.As they spoke, Mrs. Fuller—who was standing behind them—quietly hung up the call on her phone.Linda was listening on the other end.She too had gone the entire night without sleeping after leaving the hospital yesterday, albeit waiting for Mrs. Smith to die from the surgery.She really wondered how much Tina would suffer from it, and if she would lose her mind altogether.What she did not expect was for Mrs. Smith to be so lucky to survive, and she panicked as soon as she heard the surgery was a success.Nothing about everything that had happened yesterday

    Hearing that the surgery was a success, Tina burst into tears of joy. "Thank you so much!"An exhausted Yancy told Tina that Mrs. Smith would be out in another ten minutes, and she had nothing to worry about.Then, he returned inside as well to get changed.As the doors of the operating room closed, she turned and threw herself into Jimmy's arms. "Oh, Jimmy! Mom's alright now!"She was completely unaware that it was Henry, who had somehow arrived outside the operating room and was standing right beside her.Henry knew that she got the wrong person, but he could not resist wrapping his arms around her.However, the embrace was all too brief as Tina realized almost instantly that she was hugging Henry.Having loved him for so many years, she was all too familiar with his scent and did not hesitate to push him away just as he was just about to hold her in turn.However, he had just donated a lot of blood and had barely made it there to wait with Tina.Utterly frail, he staggered

    However, Henry did not hesitate to hang up on Linda while grasping and gently squeezing Tina's cold, trembling hand."I won't leave until your mother's surgery is over. I'll do all I can to make sure she's safe."There was no changing Sophie's death, and there was nothing he could do about that.But he would do what he could for Mrs. Smith.And before Tina could speak, Henry released her hand and hurried away with the nurse.His phone rang three times before he was gone from his sight.They were all calls from Linda, but Henry did not hesitate to hang up on her.It was the first time Henry had chosen Tina instead of Linda when Tina needed him.Nonetheless, Jimmy put a hand around Tina's shoulder then. "I just got off the phone with two of my friends. They're coming as we speak."Don't take it to heart, Tina. Henry Barnes owes you that much."He did not want Tina to feel burdened by Henry's help, when she hated that man to the bone.Even if what he did would not change Tina's
