Chapter 359

Penulis: Angelica1
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,

    As Tina led Zach out of Rose Garden, John hurried to her when he saw her, having been waiting outside the gates.While he was right outside and had heard everything and knew that Tina was fine, he still could not help studying her from head to toe.As Henry stepped out, he just happened to see Tina leaving in John's car, and his gaze darkened.-Soon, Zach was taken back to John's villa where he was held before.He immediately curled up on the couch, clutching his own head in silence—it had really been a terrible day for him.Nonetheless, Tina sat opposite him. "Zach Foster."Zach ignored her and did not look up at all.Tina did not take offense and continued calmly, "You should know very well what would've happened to you if I hadn't bailed you out today."I'm no saint, and I'm not going to help someone who tried to murder me before."Pausing as she saw Zach's fingers clearly stiffen, she continued, "You probably know what I want. You have one day to think about the leverage

    When John stepped out and saw the food, he recognized where it was from.He glanced at Tina but said nothing, as his order had arrived at the same time.It was late after they had dinner with Mrs. Smith, and John left early since he had work.Tina stayed since she wanted to stay longer with Mrs. Smith, and while they were talking, Tina's phone rang.She took it out of her bag and saw that it was from an unsaved number, but she knew Henry's number by heart at this point.She declined the call with no more than a look.It had been two years—she thought she could be calm around Henry and stay immune to him after cheating death.However, she did not expect that just seeing him defend Linda unconditionally while doting on Rory like treasure would still leave her furious and remind her of the injustice Sophie had suffered.Right now, she did not want anything to do with Henry."Why didn't you take that?" Mrs. Smith asked in concern."It's just some telemarketer," Tina replied calml

    As Mrs. Smith charged at Henry and Tina in a frenzy, and as she got close, she could clearly see the look of disgust on Tina's face.But Tina was not pushing Henry away, instead clenching her knuckles, her own nails digging into her own palm as she did her best to restrain herself.Anyone could tell that she was reluctant—how could she not be?!That man had indirectly murdered Sophie, and then protected the murderer.In fact, Mrs. Smith despised Henry more than Linda.Linda was vile and not to be forgiven, but that was even more so for Henry, who was supposed to be Sophie's biological father!If Mrs. Smith already hated Henry this much, it went without saying how much more Tina would hate him as Sophie's mother.And yet, she did not push Henry away. Why?But what other reason could there be? Right now, Tina's only weakness was Mrs. Smith herself, which put her at Henry's mercy.Oh, her dear Tina!Even as Mrs. Smith's heart broke, her tears blurred her vision as she felt pai

    Tina clearly did not believe Henry—why would she, when he had threatened her with her mother's life, treating it like it was just a tool?As Henry had no choice but to withdraw his hand, Tina helped Mrs. Smith, tearful as she tried to comfort Mrs. Smith. "Mom, just calm down—people like him aren't worth it. Let's just get you back to the hospital for now, okay?"Mrs. Smith was in no state to be away from the hospital, and Tina was really worried."No, I'm not going back." Mrs. Smith shook her head.The rim of her eyes reddened as she gave Tina a pained look—she had already made up her mind when she saw what Henry was doing to her daughter.Squeezing Tina's hand while leveling a cold, spiteful glare at Henry, she snapped, "You know Tina cares about me. That's why you used me to threaten her, didn't you?!"So listen here, and listen well—I won't undergo that surgery!"As long as she refused that, Henry had nothing to threaten Tina with.Tina had already suffered enough!"Mom!"

    Linda was confused.She had never told Zach about stealing the kidney meant for Sophie.How could he have known, and how much did he know?Even as Linda pondered, another text came from Zach.[I know you've had a change of heart, and I won't ask for you to come back to me. All I want is Rory.][Give me money, and once I leave Jadelight with Rory, I promise that you and Henry won't ever see me again.][And I'll take your secret to the grave without ever telling anyone else.]Zach's words were earnest.He really loved Linda, and it was not like he felt no resentment that Linda had turned away from him.But no matter how much resentment he felt, she was the only woman he had ever loved.They had been together when she was eighteen and had Rory together.Just those two things stopped him from taking Tina's side and hurting Linda.Hence, after much thought, he decided to negotiate with Linda.However, Zach's text only left Linda smiling in contempt.Give him Rory? No chance!

    However, despite being plenty cooperative ever since she was admitted to this hospital, Mrs. Smith ignored Yancy for the first time and started flailing viciously when the nurse got near."Don't touch me!" Mrs. Smith bellowed.Worried that her agitation would hurt her health, Yancy promptly gestured for the nurse to open the door and quickly wheeled her out.Once he saw Tina, he said, "Sorry, Ms. Smith, but your mother is suddenly demanding that she gets discharged. Please reason with her—this is an important period where she must stay and condition herself for the surgery next month.""I said I'm not undergoing that surgery!" Mrs. Smith snapped.She refused to stay in this hospital! Henry wanted to threaten Tina with her life?! Dream on!"Please, Mom! Nothing's more important than your health."Seeing that Mrs. Smith was still agitated, Tina's voice choked with tears even as she took Mrs. Smith's hand. "I've lost Sophie. I can't lose you too."Her mother was her only family

    Mrs. Smith had been staring at Henry for a while, and her eyes widened when he saw the pendant exposed on his hip.It looked like Tina's, but Mrs. Smith had just regained consciousness, and her vision was blurry.Worried that she had mistaken it, she suddenly told Henry, "Come here."Yancy was relieved as she was not agitated like before and thought telling the truth worked.He could see that Henry cared about Mrs. Smith's condition, and it would not be the case if he did not care about Tina.And seeing that there was still hope, he stepped aside, clearing the way from Henry.Henry's gaze was dark.He had no idea what Mrs. Smith wanted but walked up to her as she had asked.And once he was close and Mrs. Smith got a good look, and saw that the pendant really was Tina's.Years ago, when Ice was leaving, they had exchanged tokens—Ice had given Tina the pendant he always carried, and she had done the same with her pendant.So why would Henry have Tina's pendant?The answer was

    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—
