Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 353
Linda was not about to let slip any chance to disparage Tina and attempted to direct the blame on her. "I didn't think that Zach knew, or that you'd slander me however you can!"This is your way of getting back at me, isn't it? You hate me, and that's why you're taking it out on Rory! It hurts you to see Henry doting on her or Rory doing fine!"Now, you made Henry let Zach out of prison, so that you can use him to slander me, and so that he'll take Rory away from me, didn't you? You want Rory to fall into the hands of a rapist, and rapists have no humanity to speak of! What do you think you're doing?!"You're just trying to ruin Rory's life, aren't you?! Rory is innocent!"However, this was not the same Tina from two years ago, who had always vehemently maintained her innocence whenever Linda slandered her, putting herself on the backfoot.This time, Tina simply pulled out her phone and played the voice recording of Mrs. Long's testimony.It stopped Linda's slander at once, and L
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 354
The video was the nail on the coffin, and Linda could not argue against it.Henry's face was cold as he reached out to take the phone from Tina and stared fixedly at the video.There was no question about it—that was Rory, standing in the garden in the middle of winter, her feet bare and wearing nothing but a thin sleeping gown.It was such an impactful scene that Henry wheeled on Linda with a furious glare, bellowing, "What's the meaning of this?!""It's not what you think…" Linda certainly could tell that Henry was furious, and her mind raced to come up with an excuse.However, none of the stuff she saw online was a reason she could use to justify abusing Rory.Worse of all, as she struggled to explain herself, the bodyguards returned with Rory in tow.Rory was beaming happily when she saw Henry's car outside and rushed inside, calling out, "Daddy!"She missed Henry as it had been days since he visited.As he rushed inside, she seemed to not notice anyone else and ran str

Rory did not hesitate to shake her head. "No, she didn't."Zach had the strongest response to that answer.Losing control of himself right then, he yelled out loud, "What do you mean she didn't?!"He was so loud that he sent Rory running into Henry's arms.Seeing that, he did his best to calm down and speak softly. "You're scared because your mommy hurt you, aren't you? You won't tell the truth because you're too scared of her?"You don't have to be scared—I'm your real daddy, and I promise to protect you from now on. You mommy won't get to hurt you ever again. Just be brave and tell the truth…"After such obvious abuse, Zach could not come up with another reason why his daughter would not hesitate to deny that Linda was hurting her.However, Rory only hugged Henry even tighter at Zach's words. "I'm telling the truth. Mommy loves me very much—she has never hurt me… Wahhh!!!"She trailed off, suddenly bursting into tears. "No! You're lying! You're not my daddy!"She utterly des

Even Linda was stunned that Rory insisted that she had never abused her and loved her very much, not expecting Rory to defend her without hesitation at all.However, she had no time to dwell on it and promptly seized the chance and cried, "See, Henry?! I don't care that they are slandering me, but why would you doubt me for abusing Rory?!"She's my flesh and blood, and I love her to bits—how could I bear to hurt her?"Are you really going to believe everything they said? Am I that evil and horrible in your eyes?"It was Rory's teacher who abused her! You can investigate it yourself if you don't believe me!"Tina looked on as everything unfolded.Even if Henry said nothing, she could tell from his eyes that he believed Linda again.After all, kids would not lie.Moreover, Linda was his one true love—a kind person incapable of evil.Oh, the irony… On the other hand, Zach had never thought through this.As he watched Rory defend Linda while the latter lied through her teeth,

"Yeah." Rory nodded. "I couldn't get you, Daddy, so I ran outside because I was so worried. It was so cold, my legs were frozen stiff, and I couldn't walk… Daddy, you have to answer my calls from now on, okay?"In reality, Rory had a good memory and naturally remembered when Linda had made her stand outside the house in the snow.It was all because Linda had told her to call Henry because he must be seeing Sophie and Tina again, but she could not because Henry's phone was turned off.Linda got very upset and called Rory useless and made her stand outside to reflect.Rory had wanted to get dressed first, but Linda refused to let her.But now, Rory did not tell the truth, instead backing up Linda's claims and tugged on Henry endearingly toward the end."Okay." Henry nodded.Rory was just seven—it did not cross his mind that a child could lie.As Tina could see the sympathy in his eyes, the coldness in her threatened to flow out.That man really deserved death!"Rory, why would

Henry growled icily, "Get out of the way, Tina.""I told you, Henry—I'm taking Zach with me," Tina retorted coolly, glaring at him in turn. "If you dare to take Zach to the cops and charge him with rape, then I'll dare to tell the world about Rory's roots, so that everyone knows that she's the daughter of a rapist."Henry glowered right then, covering Rory's ears before he knew it, to protect her from Tina's words which might hurt her young, vulnerable spirit.He glared coldly at Tina, his tone still icy. "Rory is innocent." Tina should not be extending her spite on a mere child, even if she despised him and Linda!Tina completely ignored the threat in Henry's eyes, however, and fired back with a voice colder than his. "Hah! So Rory's innocent, and Sophie wasn't?"No matter how long had passed, she felt pained for Sophie to see Henry doting on Rory, while Sophie had to suffer all the abuse and neglect at the hands of Henry.Still, Henry's menacing presence seemed to fade consid
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 359
Linda was really putting on a performance to show how much she cared about Rory, but doing it also meant she was discrediting Tina in Henry's mind.It was so that Henry would understand that even if there were misunderstandings before, Tina was now evil anyway.But Tina did not care and even sneered. "What has that to do with me? I'm an evil schemer, and I would do anything to get what I want—it's not like either of you have only realized that now."Tina's tone was filled with irony.Ever since Linda showed up as Henry's one true love, they had quickly labeled Tina as a villainess, did they not?They kept saying that she would do anything to get what she wanted, did they not?And now, she was simply living up to their slander and showing them how far she would go to bring them down.Even Linda was stumped when she realized what Tina was getting at.Still, that was when Henry said quietly, "I know you're not like that."He used to think of her that way, only because they had a

Tina turned toward a speechless Linda, her smile broadening in contempt. "I'm evil, so I can ignore what happens to Rory.""But are you really going to ignore it too? You keep saying you love your daughter so much, don't you? So as a mother, how could you bear to subject your precious daughter to the contempt of everyone else?"But as long as you refrain from accusing Zach, he won't be a rapist—there won't be any trouble that way, will there?"Linda's mouth opened and closed repeatedly, but she could not manage a single word.It was the perfect opportunity to have Zach jailed once and for all, eliminating him as a threat.She really could not give up that easily.But if she did not, all her claims that she loved Rory would be moot.And if word got out that she was 'raped', she would have no hope of marrying Henry!As such, this matter must be kept under wraps and never see the light of day.Tina had really forced her to back down on her own!Turning toward Henry, Linda said,

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
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 525
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—
